The stock markets couldn't crash anymore they will only fluctuate. There is enough information out there that surprises only courses fluctuations, not complete meltdown.
Excuse me, but it simply is not. Placing your money in a mutual fund that simply follows the index is guaranteed way to earn 10% interest on your investment over time. Clearly there will be fluctuations in the short term, but over time, major stock indexes rise with absolute certainty.
So far I don't like the new address bar, mainly because of the new drop down thing which contain both title and url of the pages it displayes.
1. It takes up too much space. 2. It is very cluttered, I have trouble distinguishing the lines. 3. Because distinguishing lines is difficult, I do not get good feedback on whether what I am typing is wrong or right, so it is hard to know when to stop and go back and type it again. 4. It uses a different logic for matching what you type with the pages it remembers. Maybe I can get used to it, but so far, meh... 5. In extension of 4, it seems keen on selecting long urls instead of shorter ones for some reason, so if you are looking for the root page of a site it takes longer to search for it, because you get a bunch of deep links instead of the main page.
Because wave generators are difficult to build. Much more difficult than windmills. Actually nobody has yet to build a succesfull full scale wave generator. There are just too many things that can go wrong. Seawater is very corrosive and its much more difficult to harness the wave energy in a way that doesn't destroy the mechanism of the turbine.
And if I told you the drivers were probably broken all the time, and all the old versions of Windows just played nice about it and the enhanced security in Vista no longer does, then thats Vistas fault as well, right? And I am just a lame M$ fanboy, right?
Since the IDE tools were spun off into a separate company (CodeGear). Things have gotten more and more focused. We use D2007 as our primary delevelopment tool where I work and although from a documentation quality standpoint, it really was released prematurely, things have really improved, with regular updates to both the IDE and help system. It is at a level now where I feel completely comfortable committing to developing with this tool for our future applications.
At the same time CodeGear has released adaptations of their IDE to much hyped languages like PHP and Ruby. The company seems to have a sence of direction again finally.
There was no new legislation introduced. IFPI complained to the special court called "Fogedretten" which only handles property disputes. A judge from Fogedretten made a ruling based purely on his interpretation of existing Danish IP law and ordered Tele2 to block the site. Also please remember that continental European law differs significantly from what you may be used to in US. We do not use common law. A ruling by Fogedretten does not set precedent, like a ruling in an American court would.
Tele2 announced today that they are challenging the ruling in the city court, which means this will turn into a real court case. They are backed by a common interest board of other Danish ISPs.
The only way this makes sence is if he has used components in his software that he does not own and does not have the right to license under GPL. This makes releasing it under GPL impossible in the first place and invalidates the GPL licence for those version you released anyway. If this is so it is not actually a question of revoking the license, but a question of 'woops I performed copyright infringement by releasing this bit of software'.
Sending out a release candidate thats obviously broken is not very clever. Just tell people the truth. Say, "Look, we would really like to send out KDE4 with this and that feature done and working. We will not be able to do that within the current release schedule, therefore we are delaying the release of KDE4 for an unspecified time. It may be half a year, it may be a year. In the mean time please test our work and provide constructive feedback. Thank you."
hybrid notebook disc drives that combine disc storage with flash memory to deliver ultra power efficiency, faster boot-ups and greater reliability for the exploding laptop PC market.
I am a bit surprised to find, that there is a market for exploding laptops..
To sum up, the problem is readout noise. The faster you read out the CCD, the more noise you get. When you image a faint object the readout noise exceeds the signal level. The reason amature astronomers can use this technique anyway is because they are imaging bright objects (like planets), so the signal is easily discernable from the readout noise.
Now there is a new type of CCD with a built in digital signal multiplier that precedes the readout step in each individual pixel. You can simply select an appropriate multiplier that gives pixel values that fall nicely in the middle of the register width and when you read out the value, any noise can simply be subtracted away because you know that it will be much less than the signal value you are looking at.
We are not getting all the information. Probably because that would mean revealing a way to exploit the service.
Right now there are eight million people online. Now it's not the first time that MS sends out patches that requires a system reboot. What made this different? Just bad luck? Failure of imagination?

You look like you are trying to fast forward. Would you like help?

So driver bugs are Vista's fault? Bad network configuration is Vista's fault? Just blame Vista for everything that isn't working, right?

I just uninstalled all apple software from my computer and went to the itunes feedback form, and told them where to stick it.
He specifically said "[people].. that is not infected".
"It causes the perihelion shift of Mercury, which is one of the tests that lead to wide acceptance of general relativity."
No. The curvature of space-time caused by the sun causes the perihelion shift, it has nothing to do with photons.
Otherwise you are correct.
Lets get this straight, shall we?

Never heard of it before.. Audio framework of the week, as far as I am concerned. Next up? Phonon?
Its very strange.

AmigaOS could (can) create new desktops dynamically from an application. They are called public screens.
Dude.. Microwaves are soo yesterday. These days its all about running linux on a dead badger.

See.. Not difficult.
