OK so when using apple products there's no chance of institutional homosexuality? COME ON DUDE!
I mean when someone says apple, I think a fucking half-asian, $500 rectangular black-framed glasses, smug asshole living in San Francisco, sitting at some organic coffee shop with his $100 haircut drinking $10 coffee and blogging about his web 2.0 pastel-color round-edged design.
As long as there are 20 something year olds continuing to embrace the social rejection they experienced in high school as a positive trait in order to rationalize it, there will always be Apple haters. It's the same as people who thought pop music sucked because they had VGM OSTs and music from the hit show, Naruto.
now seriously, i own a 360, the latest version. it doesn't run nearly as hot as the first ones. the bundled PSU is 150W (original was 250W) so that means it was wasting 100W only for heat (no wonder it was that hot, it was practically a 100W lightbulb heating that thing inside).
No, because fanbois know APPLE is a HARDWARE company. If microsoft wanted to focus on hardware, they'd be copying apple.
BTW, not only they keyboards were good. My mom still uses the 1999 IntelliMouse Explorer. And the best [general-purpose, joypad, console-bunded] controller ever is the XBOX Controller S. The 360 controller is OK but I like the old one a little better. Even diehard playstation fanboys agree (though sometimes you have to let them hold the controller for a bit).
Um, no, people pay $10k because companies ask for that. And companies ask for that not because of the certification crap, but because it's not mass produced. Any microprocessor today has more R&D, testing, certification and all you can name, but it doesn't sell for $10k. On the other hand, test instruments (for example) don't have such a huge market (like a microwave frequency generator, or a 50GHz scope, or even a 300A regulated power suply). So when you divide all the cost (especially human - those scientists dont work for free) by the number of units produced, it's a really high number.
greetings from Chaco, Argentina, where we've been having dengue outbreaks lately (a couple of times a year there's a day when government asks you to go into your backyard (you can refuse, of course) to check if you have anything where mosquitos could reproduce -- tires, jars, etc. it's more about teaching the poor people. we've also had city-wide fumigations (according to my neighbor, who does that for a living, it's pretty much useless). but it's kinda fun looking at the trucks with speakers yelling that this is good for us, open the doors and windows, let the poison in (!), spraying everything, and that weird, heavy mist that floats just above the ground... it's like a movie.
also, you forgot to mention Chagas disease.
but now seriously, last year we had the Influenza A "outbreak" when everybody panicked and said the government isnt doing anything to protect us... so this year they spent a couple of hundreds of millions for the vaccine. but today no one remembers (or cares) about Influenza A.
so in short, some countries are willing to spend lots of money if they make a good enough PR stunt. so i still wonder why they're releasing all this data. maybe it's too old? maybe it's nearly useless? I mean we have the diseases here. we do (believe or not) have R&D and all. I mean we're a country with nuclear research. We build and sell nuclear reactors to Australia, and we have our own sources of nuclear fuel (still wonder why the US lets us do that. of course we don't have their permission to use that for weapons), really, I was surprised with this news.
and the fact that lots of people don't even watch the video, they just listen to the music.
i used to do that, until I found grooveshark. But I'm not US-based so they will soon take that away, and I'd have to go back to youtube's "pirated" clips to listen to some random song i felt like listening to
A picture doesn't tell me how many hours they've worked, or how old are them. Also, we don't know if the sleeping pics were staged. Investigation? Yes. Jumping to conclusions? No.
wow, I wonder if anyone else thought of that before?
newsflash: in ALL poor countres the government keeps the people POOR and destroys middle class to make them poor, and buys their votes with money and food on election days. it's not that they don't want to get rid of corruption, they're just good people pushed into miserable lives and becoming desperate.
I write from Argentina and that's what happens here. Only we have still lots of middle class. To deal with them just use the media, divide them, and statistically their votes won't count against the poor majority. They have even fixed laws to make the winning candidate the one with most votes, our last president had something like 30% (and the rest were other candidates). So she's the president, even though 70% people voted against her.
A couple of years ago it was still the default compiler in OpenSolaris. But I think it had to do with compatibility, because you couldn't compile Solaris with GNU tools.
Since then a lot of code has been patched to be compatible with GCC (or more precisely, the whole GNU toolkit. Oracle's Makefiles weren't compatible with GNU's make, for example). I think they still recomended the use of Sun's compiler for this. Also it was a pain to have Sun software compiled against Sun libraries and GNU software compiled against GNU libraries...
In terms of performance, my guess would be that in SPARC you would have some sort of performance gain (getting the compiler from the guys that make the chip is a big advantage, then again SPARC is Open Source too, you can get the HDL sources for the UltraSPARC T2 IIRC). I doubt that you will see a big difference in x86/x64 as so many people is involved with them.
the female gamers not only tended to log more time online (29 hours per week versus 25 for the males), but were also more likely to lie about how much they really play."
and women don't masturbate as much as men, neither do they have the same sex drive. yeah, rite.
been there, failed calculus 3 times. so one day I decided I would do every exercise in the guides (300 limits, 250 derivatives, 150 integrals). got 100% on all exams (except finals), didn't even need a calculator cause i learned lots of common operations (sin/cos/tan for 0,30,45,60,90..., ln, log for common numbers, etc)
then I dropped out from college cause i realized that wasn't something I could keep up with. I didn't want to study non-stop for 5 years to get a degree. then got into an argument with one of the teachers, told her to go fuck herself, and got the fuck out of it.
now i'm at a tertiary (in my country, 1 step less than university) and the lowest grade I got, even in finals, was an 80%.
also, i noticed every kind of math they taught me at college was about something i would need later (like linear algebra for anything with matrices -- like image processing). and calculus (like you said, for audio and general signals processing).
so years will pass and you will realize how wrong you are now. you don't have a degree because you CHOSE not to -- not because calculus has nothing to do with computers.

haha you should have studied harder.
hate to say it. but its the truth.
