I love when anonymous sources still feel the need to phrase their responses as government PR drones would.
Source: "It could be characterized as a dramatic failure."
The news would be more entertaining if journalists stopped kidding themselves and just geared everything to real lowest common denominator: the NASCAR fans.
Translation: "Man it took off like a rabid 'coon on fire then KABOOM like somebody shot it in the face with a Howitzer! (But listen, I never said nothin')."
Financially it only makes sense. The OHP's only real mistake was advertising its availability.
While it is my opinion that health care is the single service that *everyone* needs by virtue of existing as a biological lifeform, I certainly don't feel compelled to have the government spend gobs of money to add a couple of years to a 53-year-old's life.
Some people win the lottery, some people lose. Put a million-dollar lifetime cap on benefits. He's still better off than with some form of private sector care (which he can't afford in the first place).
You would probably be right here to troll when the OHP runs out of money because it wasted it on dying patients too, right?
Last time I was bored at my friend's house, I calculated that in less than 15 minutes I could charge off around USD $2000 in porn using just the remote.
Cars aren't so scary compared with trying to resell pay-per-view porn.
But most of all, staring at the road for hours on end is a waste of time. I'd rather spend my commute talking, working or watching a movie, rather than worrying about what my car is doing.
He was refering to the raise in the cost of service for the new phone that will end up costing you $160 above what "phone service" used to cost you.
Ok, 160/24 = $6.67 per month. Or a premium of 12% over your minimum plan with the EDGE iPhone.
Your data rate increases by (absolute worst case) a factor of three, even while moving at highway speeds (3G > EDGE). Standing still it's four to ten times as fast. I fail to see how it's a bad deal.
I'll bite. Are esoteric knowledge of edge cases and math-by-pencil capabilities really that valuable if a machine can take care of them for you?
We have a limited capacity. Would you rather use it memorizing something you can have a machine take care of, or put it to better use elsewhere?
You are analyzing these tools from a position where they (presumably) provide little value to you. Imagine what your brain could do if parts of it weren't tied up with processes designed to circumvent weaknesses in the way a programming language was designed.
Some people (and even more twenty years ago) would say that a GUI is an unnecessary "crutch". Take care that you don't hold to your ideas so strongly that they (and thereby you) ossify.
Yep. There are obviously simple lens options to get around this, but he doesn't make any mention of using one. All in all pretty boring. And donations? For something he's going to make a profit on? Where I'm from that's called an investment.
These guys at CMU did some (I think) cooler work a while ago.
The five year window might not be in the cards, but I've got two words for you: ray tracing.
Pretty much the only way to continue Moore's Law that I can see is via additional cores. If you had 128 cores, you would no longer care about polygons. Polygons = approximations for ray tracing. Nvidia = polygons.
I noticed you mentioned conservative social initiatives. And yet the more important issue was what kind of house or car you can buy.
The difference between your "liberals" and your "conservatives" is that your conservatives (and presumably, you) care more about what car the government allows them to drive than who they are allowed to marry.

Sure the kits are dumb downed
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and take that to mean "crashed into a sea of dumb".

So as long as he doesn't open it, it might be garbled, or maybe not. Isn't the fucking cat is dead at that point?
I assume there has to be some sort of value in this discovery, but neither the summary or article seem to do a great job of expressing it.
I thought the problem with quantum mechanics was in measurement, not knowing something is bad before you measure it.

But wait friend, a solution exists!
Get over yourself and ride mass transit today!

Wow. You really can't teach sex education too early.
Just a quick question... If IAAL stands for I Am A Lawyer, what is the extra "A" for?
He's a lawyer. I would have thought it was obvious.
As working for accenture currently (and posting on the job hohoho)
Santa?
The FreeRunner screen is actually a 2.8" VGA (640x480)[1]. It has got some serious DPI.

Its Open-Hardware, get a 3G controller and replace the 2.5G one(when a 3G controller becomes available).
Yeah, you're comfortable hand-soldering 0.5mm pitch BGAs, right? What 2.5G controller were you talking about?
Buy it for what it is - freedom. If that's not enough, don't force it on yourself.
I think he meant to say skycreper.
Mmm crepes.
It might be paranoid but I always avoid residential-area access points with names that sound a bit too legitimate.
I prefer SSIDs that sound like real people are behind them, like "jennifer", "ihatethispieceofshit", or "chrislovesmen".

That's what she said.

No, they're American Factz. Factz with a 'z'.
Jesus, I should have looked deeper. He just patented this. And it's been discontinued.

No! I've never seen Ghost Whisperer.
Yes! When cornered I blame my extensive knowledge of the show on my wife.

So, have you scanned BitTorrent for your wife's "home videos" yet?
