Is the multiprocessor functionality of chrome optional? That is, I like the fact that a bad page ( usually bad java script or flash ) can only hang one core and not my entire processor.
Nothing close to a tractor beam, as it requires using the properties of heating air to actually move things suspended in the air. A new age fan (http://www.dyson.com/fans/) will do just as good of a job.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the research. It is simply not a tractor beam, or even the beginnings of one.
One man's discount is another another man's extra. Meaning as long as there is a difference in price & service, one is either less than the other, or the other is more than the one. E.G.
Advertisement 1: 90$ for our service, 10$ extra for better service. Advertisement 2: 100$ for our service, 10$ discount for our discount service.
There is no difference between the product, just the psychology. Companies love to reel you in with the low price, and then convince you that you NEED the higher one.
Also, using the post office is a bad example because is run by the federal government, and never comes close to breaking even.
what? From the age I was allowed to cross the street, I was told to LOOK both ways, never to just listen for a car. There are many things that move that don't make loud engine noises (bikers, runners, segways, animals) AND fast moving cars. If a car is moving fast enough, you won't hear is coming [till it is too late], especially in a traffic filled area, there are always car sounds. you _ have _ to _ look.
If you consider the quiet of the prius to be a disadvantage, then roll down the window and just scream the whole time.
The only reason this would be useful for is blind people. The only [legally] blind person I've even known, only walked in neighborhoods (where cars should be going slow enough to yield to any pedestrian) and cross walks (that have an auditory signal). No where is car sound reliable enough to be a decision making factor.
How could you detect that the files are checked versus unchecked when inserting media? This isn't a technical problem, it is a trust issue. Viruses exist because there are people of shady morale character, you can't trust any sort of metadata on the file, so any sort of field that says 'this file has no viruses' is like requiring that their be an 'evil bit' set on or off.
Depends on the manufacturer. If the socket reduces the repair time enough, they could decide it saves them money in the long run. After all, who replaces the drive if it is DOA? On warranty? If the customer pays the outrages fee to replace the hard drive after the warranty expires? They do.
Your idea comes down to "scan on read" versus "scan on write" The bigger problem with scan-on-write is things like: Plugging in a new HD, or more commonly, plugging in a thumb drive, or even inserting a cd. You would have to scan the WHOLE THING to verify it safe before letting the user do anything.
Your conclusion that this paper release will cause the war to drag on even longer is erroneous. This war has no goals. The tali-ban recruit members everytime we kill someone in afganistan + a member as long as we stay their. It is an infinite cycle, as long as Afghanistan remains poor and ignorant. Which, as far as I can see, we are doing all but nothing to change.
This war ends, when congress says it ends. It has nothing to do with some documents telling specifics exactly how stagnant the war is.
Don't think that there's not nerds out there with nothing better to do than to download firmware and run it through strings.
Nerds? Yes. Nothing better to do? "Nothing better to do" is a condescending way to say, should be doing something else with their time. Time is a limited quantity in ones life. They are literally doing a public service for free and you shit on them? Whether they are living in their parents basement or taking time out from the rest of their real life, these geeks are policing companies infringing on the free software world, while you are making fun of them on/. .
The backup/restore on OSX is better than windows XP/Vista IMHO. If your XP machine died, restoring your files on your new win 7 machine from backup is a PAIN. While migrating from one OSX to another was great.
iTunes is better than WMP from an organizational standpoint (though it is available for windows).
I've heard OSX's video authoring is better than window's but I don't have first hand knowledge because most people I know either use something free or go full with Adobe Premier
Photo Managers are a dime a dozen, I use an open source one; and again with music editors, I use audacity on everything.
Do you think an author should only be able to sell a book once?
Yes. Because that's how it is for everybody else.
Wow way to really abstract the problem until it doesn't resemble reality. It is a trade off. The cost to write the book once is difference than the cost of printing the book. if only one book were ever sold, then it would cost $20K. And then we would all have to rent time to read it. Currently, instead of only selling one book at the hourly rate it took for the author to write it, the authors make the money in bulk. (8$ [retail]- 1$ [to print]) * # [of books sold]...
A better metaphor would be how an some engineer makes money. Say someone asks me to design a circuit for a product. My time is billed at 5K$, but the cost to produce the circuit is 25 cents. We don't sell those cool singing halmark cards for 1000$, we sell them for 5$, and let the profit for selling 1000s of them pay my salary. Same for software designers etc...
When you study ethics/philosophy, they do have text books usually in the form of books written by or about great thinkers from the past. If you don't want to quote them directly, you can learn the argument yourself; rarely does 'because god said so' suffice for an answer in an ethics class.
oh wow, Whoops. Clearly I got confused. Laptop internals will never been standardized, though I would appreciate the ability to upgrade video cards universally in laptops.

If that is a US constitution Representation population counting reference, are you sure you don't mean 3/5ths?
Some say comedy, some say tragedy, and some use it as a rallying cry.
It sounds like Fox News is a modern-day Shakespeare.

even though we could prevent innumerable accidental injuries and deaths by adding an aural warning, we should...
I get this reasoning, but the rationale to get there I simply don't buy.
I'm pretty sure you forgot the children, or cute animals or something here:
...distracted, or lazy, or maybe even just blinded by glare...
These have to be the lamest reasons ever to ask a car maker to put a siren/bicycle bell/fake engine noises on it.

Water Fluoridation really is a waste though. It only helps kids, and they are going to lose their teeth anyways.

Don't trust that phone number, look up the phone number yourself. Or (in the US) call 311.

Obscure word? It was required vocab in [Public] High School in 1997 in the United states (which is when I learned it).
You could use EM to give tactile feed back. To engineer it today would be expensive, but not impossible.
You'd need to miniaturize the tech from https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Active_Denial_System s and use phased array beam steering.
The moral of the story is: finish your damn pizza.
