There is another benefit. Even if they re load the ship with the same number containers, the weight would be lower down, and should mean a more stable ship on the return trip. Not losing a few containers per trip could pay of in the long run.
This is what i do right now. Have fun doing that across a metropolitan area, or better yet, a drive from one to another.
What I want is an interface were i specify my start and end points, then my searches, and have the software pick the shortest time detour(taking into account stop lights, stop signs, etc) taking into account all of my options. I'm betting there are a few times were being able to only look at once search at a time will not provide a best route.
there are times i'd like to be able to get one of these sub optimal routes...
for example: Driving to my Uncles new home for a house warming thing, I'd like to stop at Target(for those that don't know www.target.com), a hardware store for something, and a ATM for cash for the week, somewhere between here and there, and go out of my as little as possible. I know the nearest target to my house is in the wrong direction, as is the hardware store, so i'd like googlemaps/etc to find the best route between my place and my uncles while getting to the other locations I need to go to.
Anyways, there have been a few times where I have wanted directions like that.
I'm also fairly sure that just about every google service has an export of the data somehow, bookmarks are downloadable, gmail is too, I'm not sure about calendar, although I think you can get the iCal feed for those.
[citation needed] and remember this is slashdot, a $400 POS, with not power that weighs 8 LBS is not going to cut it.
tiger direct has high powered well built laptops with no OS? i'm thinking thinkpads(the business grade stuff), inspirons, and the like. Core i7 quads, 8 GB ram, discrete video cards, etc.
Also as they are coming without an OS they logically should be cheaper than the same machine with an OS. even an OEM license of windows costs money, like $20, but still.
is that 400+ Mbps from one outside host to one inside host? will it also do 10 hosts outside to 2 hosts inside without losing bandwidth? how about 60 out to 3 inside? can it do that while making sure bittorrent doesn't ruin skype, netflix and WoW?
This is where I feel these speed fail, they need to load the router up with some more advanced routing and then do the speed test again. Start with nothing but DMZ, and then work up from there until it slows down.
i agree with you, much like the recent AMD bulldozer discussion where some anandtech benches were linked to. The slightly higehr clocked non-turbo quads beating the 6 ways in x264 encodes... seems to me they need to turn some more x264 options on.
The problem is that "film" based cameras can not film in infinite depth of field. This makes it rather impossible to do what you asking for in outdoor shots. for indoor or limited depth bright scenes it may be possible to use a higher Fstop and trade light amount for higher depth of field.
Anyways fully rendered stuff can be rendered with perfect camera separation, and infinite depth of field.
I would probably end up with ATT until i wanted a new phone (i bought a mytouch 4g around a year ago), because ATT i believe is the only GSM/HDSP+ network around. Once it was new phone time, i'd probably go to verizon, or sprint depending on the phone choices. Since i got a high end smart phone you would really have to work to not get me to keep a high powered phone now.
okay well i may have mentioned the car sized decay based self contained plants that need no more than a garden hose and some wires for output hooked up, but that's not really the same as what most mean when they say "Nuclear power plant".
That's because the MPAA and other content holders think we are all thieves and cheapskates and that we would not pay for it in the first place, or if we did we would steal it.
how many cores are in the xbox360? there are only 2 main cores in the PS3 as well. the WII has a dual core in it as well AFAIK. hmm interesting that games sem to be built for the "lowest common denominator".
Fun experament i ran after getting a X6 1055T, fired up WoW in Stormwind, looked at my FPS while i rode about on the ground(Cata), then i fired up a chromium emerge with a make -j4 options. Sure enough it started to use up 4 cores, but i had 2 left to play wow and my FPS moved down by a few from ~50 to ~45 or something like that. There was a bit of a fight for my 7200 RPM HDD, but that was to be expected.
Fire up a 4 threaded x264 encode, and then your game on both CPUs, let me know which is more playable.
I don't see any "server" like loads in there. I also see no benches that put the 6core 3.3 GHZ over the 3.8GHZ 4 cores. This suggests that those benchmarks do not scale above 2-4 cores. which by the way is about the max (resonable afordable cores) you can get from intel. Can't you buy a 12 core opteron these days?
What x264 settings and source material were used? I'd like to try it on my computer. I bet my 1055T (undervolted to be ~95w) can do 95FPS on 480P video using the x264-preset-fastfirstpass profile.
Also I like how the "x4 980 BE" beats out the "x6 1090T" Seems the benches don't make good use of memory bandwidth and more than 4 cores.
x264 with the lossless_slower ffmpeg preset is about the only thing that will cause my cpu fan to spin up here. ohh and compiling chromium (the browser).
the common complaint i hear is "rush hour is too much work in a manual" I've done the 45 minutes to drive 5 miles commute thing, a bit of planning goes a long way.
how does that work in a manual transmission car? no really I like the tech, but i also really like manual transmissions, so i'm wondering if i can have both.
make a $60 version with dual GbE and I'll by 2-5 of the things. It would make a great router. I can't seem to find a linux friendly ARM (read low power board) with >=128MB ram, and dual GbE ports. It also would have to low cost enough to pass the wife test.
right I will never live on another planet, but what about my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren? how will they have anything to build on if we don't start now.
as for things we don't need... Wars, professional sports, insurance claims adjusters, people who can't see past the end of the week.

who has been doing that?

a well in the ground... there must be some water down there, or does Arizona have a massive desalination plant?
I usually point out the "threaded" benches that put the 3.6GHz X4 ahead of the 3.3GHz x6, and explain that the bench is not scaling well.

isn't the google earth bin basically self extracting wine, + google earth for windows and not a "real" linux executeable?
Could you find me a $50 SSD worth having? Also I would never allow my BIOS to do that, if it failed how would i recover from a partial write?
Hmm i wonder how i would describe 4500000 miles? thats not a nice number. but 450k miles isn't technically correct either.
the common complaint i hear is "rush hour is too much work in a manual" I've done the 45 minutes to drive 5 miles commute thing, a bit of planning goes a long way.

By modern car you mean just about everything post 1990 without a distributor.
