Actually I could benefit from 4 or 8 cores right now. On my desktop at work I have currently have 4 browsers, 5 Xwindows, A mail client, and PCanywhere. Large portions of the work day I am 100% CPU util.I could use those cores.
In the future if they have some decent logic to handle context switching and thread migration then shifting to lots of small parallel operations could make computing even better as far as I'm concerned. Parallel operations on multiple cores could really benefit some types of desktop apps. Others simply wouldn't benefit because of the simple logical linear progression required by their nature.
Yeah. Now all the rest of you kids get off my internet! Using my electrons and clogging my tubes up with their pr0n and myspaces and Youtubes. Back in my day we had Gopher, and we were damn glad to have it, even though our electrons had to go uphill both ways. In the snow!
You like those two guys in the Dockers and cardigans? Ewww. Oh, you meant the two cute chicks on the bikes they were trying to hook up with. Ok. Gotcha.;)
That sounds like your definition, not the prosecutors. 2252c(c) is pretty damn vague. It doesn't say that if those words are on your website you are exempt, it simply says that they can't consider those words as misleading.
Not exactly sure where you were going with this. Where you refering to patent trolls, or the big R&D houses, when you said "they have no idea how to make"? If you meant the trolls, I totally agree. If you meant the R&D houses I have to disagree. These were the people that invented things like the laser, transistor, and computer mouse. They could make just about anything they wrote up a patent for.
No, there doesn't. There should be, but there doesn't have to be. The only thing worse than getting lawyers involved in patent disputes is getting politicians involved. There's a recipe for disaster.
No we don't. Patent trolls BUY patents, or patent OBVIOUS things, and then use them as weapons for extortion. Bell Labs and PARC invented real technologies. I'm not saying that they didn't do their share of patenting stupid shit, but they did real research, and their parent companies/divisions actually deployed much of their technology in the real world, not just as a licensor.
But, the ammonia won't condense at the ambient temp. It's boiling point is -33.5C. It would cost a lot more to keep putting ammonia in your system than the cost benefit of the cooling. If you use a compressor to condense the ammonia you're just back to a standard AC unit that needs outside power. Secondly as far as I can see your system would cool the water, not the air, and you just heated the water with solar energy. You would need to heat the water with the heat from the building. The problem comes from the fact that you want to have the temp of the inside lower than the outside. That means that you have to concentrate the heat in the building into the water to raise it above the ambient and that will take more energy than the cooling system saves.
Don't light the fuel! You don't want it to burn, you want it to evaporate. Use gas, not diesel, it has a lower vapor temp/prerssure, and flame off any resude before you drink it. I'm betting that is where the set it on fire part came in. This will get you several degrees below ambient, which beats the hell out of 97F 3.2% ABV pissy lager. Now if they just served a nice beer that benefits from being warm, like some belgian ales, this wouldn't have been a problem.
Yep. Also think about the dozens, if not hundreds of pads, sponges, gauze strips, and such that are used in an invasive surgery. Hell, if the surgery is one of those 8-12 hour marathons with 2-3 surgeons that require the use of, say, 14 pints of blood, there are possibly thousands of those items used to keep the view clear for the surgeons and nurses. Like someone can go "32. 33. 34. Ok, that's 368 gauze pads, 72 sponges, and 34 wads of gauze strips. That's everything. Lets close her up." Make it so the surgeons can go "Is that everything?" and a nurse waves the wand over the patient and says "No beep. We look good."
No, I'm quite serious. But after reading your post you seem to be guilty of the same thing that you accuse others of. Your usage of the word disingenuous was correct because I believe you were questioning my sincerity not my honesty, but it is probably misconstrued by many to mean dishonest or lying when it actually means insincere or calculating in use. If some people do not know the definitions of words, or certain contextual meanings, that is not the fault of the poster who does and uses them correctly.
Nope. As long as you used it in context correctly. There really is no other word to use in the original post. As far as I know there is no synonym for for an arbitrary ruling by a judge.
He uses a word absolutly correctly and you claim it's dishonest? That is one hell of a stretch. My mind is simply boggled trying to wrap itself around that little logic gem.
That is from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. One is the supreme law of the land(Ha ha), and the other isn't a legal document at all, just the U.S. giving Britain its walking papers.
The RICO laws in the U.S. go back much further than the 1980's, that's just when the government started using them for simple possesion cases. I forget which city first started using RICO for that purpose, but it took off quickly. The courts have said that RICO is Constitutional because if you aren't convicted you can petition to get your property back, and that if the property has been disposed of you must be compensated. That said, I'm with you, it's bullshit pure and simple.
You HAVE TO get Vista because the net profits are down at MicroSoft, and the investors are getting hacked off that they aren't making money hand over fist like in the 90's.
Well, like you said, they war removing a lot of the functionality and eye candy in the basic version so it will run on XP grade hardware. The basic version doesn't do anything more, or better, than XP from what I've read, but it doesn't need a killer new system to run like the top end versions do.
About 125 seconds after launch and at an altitude of about 150,000 feet, the SRB's burn out and are jettisoned from the ET. The jettison command originates from the Orbiter, and jettison occurs when the forward and aft attach points between the SRB's and ET are blown by explosive charges.
28 miles may not be space, per se, but it is pretty damn high.

As I believe Dave Lister said on Red Dwarf when speaking about death, "If he comes near me I'm gonna rip his nipples off!" That's my attitude too.

Well, as we all know, "He who dies with the most toys... Is still dead."
Too much for too ofter for too long. /cry

If I didn't know better I'd think you were watching me on my web cam and reading my e-mails. You wouldn't happen to work for the NSA would you?!?!?!
Dude, get with the program. I only drink when I'm celebrating something. This is worth at least 4 beers tonight.

Well, from a NASA website.
