THe SAME commercial gets played over and over. I was watching the Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle live and saw the same truck commercial five or six times. Same with the rest. So skipping something you've seen is hardly costing anyone money.
I am willing to watch a commercial once. If I find it entertaining, I am willing to watch it every once in a while. If you play the same commercial once every ten minutes, I will specifically make sure to avoid your products and/or services.
I think you got your Hyper* products mixed up. The AC said nothing about HyperThreading. He said that since Intel does not employ HyperTransport and the on-chip memory controller (you missed that), he will not use their parts.
Honestly, you might want to try the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. They may not be protecting the kind of stuff you're talking about, but I would think that a victory for freedom of expression in comics would carry over to photographs and so forth.
The parent to my original post speaks of his view that there is a lack of usefulness for this property. The article is not talking about the uses of negative thermal expansion but rather how the process works; furthermore, this article made/. because it is interesting. Therefore, being interesting is not the same thing as usefulness.
I am not inferring that this concept is neither interesting nor useful. I can understand how my statement can be interpreted as a troll, but come on...
One thing I have noticed with a lot of the reviews for games: when benchmarking, they always group OpenGL with DirectX 8 and have DirectX 9 separate, as though it's more technologically advanced. I'm somewhat sure that the newest OpenGL is as feature-ful as the newest DirectX. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
I would pay a tax if that money went directly to subsidizing faster access. However, since just a tax does not guarantee this, I don't want to pay any such special tax.
If geeks had designed the English language---hell, if ANYONE had designed the English language---the syntax would be regular. But English wasn't designed.
As for the errors, there are only three: two "it's" instead of "its," and "hoist" instead of "hoisted." I've seen worse.
I don't think that morality has anything to do with his self-medication. Unless he was specifically trying to create a resistant strain to infect others, his actions surely are not immoral. Dangerous, yes, but not immoral.
I hope the guy gets better. And I also hope that his doctor gives him a three hour lecture and a tour of the drug-resistant infection ward of his hospital. Maybe he should stop by Jim Henson's grave to leave flowers.
I second this. I used to have 20/20L 20/15R. Whoops. (It's now 20/(n+5) for each eye.) But now that I use an LCD, I can go for much longer with less strain.
Props for Bellissard. I'm going to his Calc. II Honors lecture in 30 minutes. Why he was chosen to teach the clueless freshmen, I don't know. He probably has better things to do than watch us stare blankly back at him.
It would be helpful if periodic visits to mental health professionals were just as usual as visits to a physician or pediatrician or dentist. Granted, it's harder to diagnose mental problems than physical ones, but basic preventative screening would go a long way.

If this is all fake, this is one damn good fake.
What was supposedly fake about it anyway?
Which is why I reject them (the two major parties) both as authoritarian bastards.

interesting != useful
It's a(n) __acronym___!
WiMax theoretically should be a better solution to their problem.

good things Congress has done this week: 1
bad things Congress has done this week: a lot more
That's better than most weeks...

I actually like this idea.
But yes, you really shouldn't self-prescribe antibiotics. Even if you think you know what it is you have, go see a doctor anyway.
And while I'm at it: take the whole course. Don't stop just because your symptoms go away.

The P4EE is the competitor to the A64FX.
BTW: Talk about Alphanumeric Soup...
Like the new online search, Microsoft have made a very good effort to get back in the game.
By buying a company. How like them.
They had a review of MCE2k5 (and MythTV) and Myth vs. MCE2k4).
I seriously hope that the submitter is just very wrong.
Since being aquired, I've heard nothing about Evolution. What gives?
I touch a file -i in each directory that I'm likely to execute an accidental rm -rf *.

Slack is easy to customize. You edit one line in one file.
