While the requiring of specific resources to build certain things is new, they (to some extent) have been there since at least civ 2 in the form of bonuses for production.
and interestingly in kde 4.4 with firefox 3.6 it's even using the kde notification thing in the corner whenever it finds an update for things. I believe this is because its using a "standard" (don't know if it is or not) dbus thing to do the notifications so that both gnome and kde can use the same code.
Interestingly its that brittleness that makes the heat shield so critical to protect, and why even the slightest scratch in it can cause catastrophic problems for the crew aboard. I'm sure you've realized this by now though, but they most likely never used the capsule after they decided to tour it anyway, so you couldn't have caused any real problems (other than the obvious vandalism of a priceless artifact of some of the most important scientific missions). That kind of stuff makes me wish I had been born then to be able to see some of that as it was happening. One of the neatest things I've ever seen was a marathon that NASA TV had on a few years ago where they took all the Apollo footage and played it end to end in chronological order so that it seemed like it was actually happening (obviously sped up since there wasn't days/years between missions and broadcasts). It was long as hell (8hrs or longer if I remember correctly), but kept me watching the entire time. I wish they'd do that kind of thing more often.
actually kpdf/okular only obey those restrictions by default, there's a setting in there that lets you ignore all of those (quite useful for things like the fire prevention code)
well that's one thing where, even though I'd say I'm mostly libertarian, I'd disagree. getting infrastructure in place is one of the things that government can do easier and (if you can eliminate most of the pork and other bureaucratic shit) should be doing since it is one thing that most definitely does benefit all citizens equally, just imagine if the roads were done by private companies, there might be more that are very well maintained but something like the interstate highway system would be near impossible to create because you'd be so hard pressed to get the companies to actually cooperate in any reasonable manner. Funding NASA helps fund the research and development that allows for the possibility of creating that infrastructure we so desperately need up in space in order to do any of it. There are so few people that seem to realize that we are so incredibly far away from being able to mine the asteroid belts and things like that. And even so many years after the space program has started, there is not one company that can go into LEO to do the things NASA can do, simply because the returns aren't there in LEO to be profitable in the short or even medium term. Government does not have any business in morality but infrastructure is one place that it can really do a huge amount of good for the citizens and possibly the world (and our own economy if we get the infrastructure up there and charge others to use it)
Or build a dedicated DOS machine, where at least you'll have no illusions of security. (Cynics would say this is true of any MS operating system, but I leave that debate to others.)
Or instead use something like Dosbox to emulate the dos machine, would probably be significantly easier than trying to get an old dos box on a network and running.
In one aspect of it, yes, yes it does. x86 will only have half the number of general purpose registers available on a x86-64 processor that a 64bit operating system will be able to allow its programs to work. now you are right that its not the number of bits that are important there, its just that the new instructions are the only thing that allows you to access the extra registers.
While its true that there will be some overhead from the increased address size, there is however something significant to be said about the increase in the number of General Purpose Registers in the cpu that you get access to when using x86_64 rather than just x86. It is very important to realize that x86 being such a register starved architecture has significant gains from the doubling of the number of registers available to a program, this can mean that many more loops can have some or most of their main variables in the extremely fast registers rather than having to go out and fetch them from memory on each use. Even with a large fast cache next to the CPU you still cannot beat the performance gains from being able to have twice as many things in GPR.
I think the idea is that the canon doesn't provide a stable orbit, but instead the ability to get where the non-organic payload can then use its own thrusters to get into a proper orbit. Whether this would be enough or not to do that I'm not sure, IANAOMS
while true that good event driven programming can get the job done, certain things (such as working with large data sets, e.g. can't be broken easily into pieces to process in less than 100ms) can be much much easier to do with proper threading.
about the normal brain structures? maybe none, BUT they might learn how his brain rewired itself, and get an idea of what areas of the brain weren't connected anymore to get a better idea of why he had no long term memory (and provide information about how the brain actually does that!), it at the very least might shed light on how the brain forms those connections
Actually i've got an old 2MB (i think it was too anyway, i don't have a working machine that can use the damned thing to find out) ISA card thats significantly larger than any of the current ones i own, mostly because of the fact that its got about 32-64 small memory ICs on it, and its much longer because it uses the VESA local bus that very few motherboards i ever knew had.
in the case of the BBC, if they add DRM, then citizens of the UK CAN'T NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, if they own a tv they have to pay the license fee that the bbc makes money off of. its sort of like forcefully paid for public broadcasting.

Except that the posts are still there and ANYONE can still see them.
no bottom of the rung is analog rf modulation from composite video! (e.g. you need an analog tuner)
Thats just it, you can delete tweets.

send him a bill, the rich bastard can afford to pay it.
wrong type of breathable. i believe they mean that if the surface needs to breathe (certain plastics, etc.) that the glass will let it breathe.
$75? the deluxe edition is only $39.99 at target, the regular version (which i can't seem to find) should be even cheaper. http://www.target.com/Super-Scrabble-The-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B000P0R9J0/sr=1-1/qid=1264796353/ref=sr_1_1/177-1017270-8492669?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ascrabble&page=1

i'm not sure what the fuss is about http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/noradsanta/ seems to work well for me here in linux, no user agent fudging nothing.
to be fair it used 4 color, red, dark red, darker red, and black.

this has been mostly replaced with gwenview

no its not, in the code base its 666
