Your assuming they are all basicly the same. I play eve-online and WoW at the same time. Eve is like post 70 WoW in that you don't grind for exp only loot. WoW has much better PvE content and eve wins PvP. It adds up to together it's about 30$ a month but considering I spend more on cable and watch less TV I don't think of that as a major issue.
9.08 (gigabits per second) * ((333 hours) plus (20 minutes)) = 1.29890442 petabytes not 10,800 TB.
So it's ~54 cubic feet which would fit in "2008 Volkswagen Jetta SportsWagen has 66.9ft^3 of storage space"
Or for more $$$
2gb microSD card 15 mm × 11 mm × 0.7 mm or 1/243,242 cubic foot. 2 * 243,242 GBytes = 475.082031 terabytes So 3 cubic feet gives you 1.39 petabytes. and 66.9ft^3 = 31 petabytes or ~23 times faster.
Umm, you can fit Blue-Ray disks in a case the size of 2 HDD. That's ~1125Gigs. But HDD tend to die a lot easer than disks. And you don't need external power to access them. After all the point of a laptop is portability vs. showing up with 2 external drives that need power.
carbon-specific energy content of fossil fuels sounds cool but you only get about 40% of that due to inificency's in power production so.
(40 *.4 - 4)/40 = 0.25 or 25% of energy gain is used or an efficency reduction of 1/(1-.25) = 33%. (50 *.4 - 4)/40 =.2 or 20% of energy gain is used or an efficency reduction of 1/(1-.2) = 25%. (70 *.4 - 4)/40 =.14 or 14% of energy gain is used or an efficency reduction of 1/(1-.2) = 16%.
Incase anyone skip's the Source tailgate up is still better than tailgate down.
* Tailgate down: 5.2 gallons/hr @ 55mph. 1.2 gallons/hr @ 25. * Tailgate up: 5.0 gallons/hr @ 55mph. No reading for 25mph given, but tailgate up was once again confirmed as more efficient. * Hardcover over pickup bed: 5.0 gallons/hr @ 55mph. 1.2 gallons/hr @25mph * Tailgate mesh: 5% more efficient * Tailgate removed: about the same as tailgate up and hardcover
FYI: Many people care far more about their environment than the environment.
EX: I might not care about endangered species, but I do care about the ability to breathe. Many types of pollution kill people animals but other environmental issues like the destruction of wetland habitat don't affect people all that much.
Hippies tend to care about keeping the environment in a natural fission but everyone should care about the tens of thousands of deaths from pollution every year.
As a self employed person you can't deduct the value of your time from your gain otherwise you could work for someone at 25$ an hour say your worth 25$ an hour and pay no tax.
However, if you paid someone else 5.25$ an hour then you could deduct that from your profit but you would need to pay payroll taxes on that.
You sound like a down in the trenches teacher which I am not. In the past I was a tutor and my mother has 2 doctorates in education, which is only relevant because we spend a lot of time talking about education theory. Anyway, let's say you're going to teach a 3rd grade science class.
You can say:
Plants take Light + Carbon Dioxide + water and make Food + Oxygen.
Or you can say:
Carbon Dioxide, water, food, and Oxygen are all molecules made from atoms. (Insert some pictures) Plants use the energy in light to rearrange the atoms in Carbon Dioxide and water to make food and oxygen. (Food as a rechargeable battery like you use in a cell phone.)
And then say what you need to know for the test is:
Plants take Light + Carbon Dioxide + water and make Food + Oxygen.
Now in the first case you have an abstract "fact" that's basically useless and uninteresting which can be force fed with a lot of repetition. In the second case you have a more complex fact that will interest many children. You can still use repetition etc, but because you are placing the "milestone" as part of a larger and more interesting story you help people learn.
Or in your example you can interest students in learning addition by showing them how Romans counted and why they switched. (How would they count to 1billion or devide 140 by 7 etc..) Anyway, early on you have a lot of time to cover a small number of facts, but the approach is so bad it really does take that long.
The problem with Java is it's not simple and it's not abstract. Why start people in a language that separates Integer from int? Personally, I would start people with SQL so they can start thinking about getting the computer to give them the data they want vs. fighting some compiler.
Think about teaching someone:
Select * from Names where ID < 100;
Vs.
A java hello world program where it might be 6 months before people understand what some of the syntax is doing.
IMO SQL > LISP > ASM > JAVA would teach somone someone how to abstractly approach problems vs. wasting a lot of time figuring out how to get swing to move some boxes around on the screen.

I would like to point out that most building are constructed as square boxes because it cheeper and strong enough.
Anyway, when dealing with children you need to understand on average they are smarter than you are. IMO the problem with public schools is they operate under the assumption that children are stupid and need extremely simple explanations. This creates a situation where children are constantly provided inaccurate lists of pseudo facts to memorize which basic critical thinking skills tend to expose as wrong.
EX: Columbus discovered America.
Conflict, people where already living there.
Resolution from the European perspective Columbus discovered America.
IMO we should just teach it that way in the first place.
The problem with comparing old vs. new games is people tend to stretch things.
Pick the best 5 games of 2006 and compare them to the best 5 games of 1976, 1986, or 1996 but not 1976 though 1996. It's like comparing the music of the 60's (1960 - 1969) with music produced in the last six months.
So 250 watts / day is 250 * (86,400) joules / (second^2) / (m^2) which makes no sense.
You can average 250 watts over a day or you can have a peek power output of 250watts but watts / day is meaningless.
When talking about days you use x * Wh / day = x * (joules / second) * (k(1)) * seconds / (seconds *k(2) ) which ends up as x * 24 * Watts of average power output. AKA if your average power output 1 100watts then you have 2400watt hours / day or 2.4kWh/day.
You're suggesting that money from one division will go to support another. In a large corporations that only happens when the other division is losing money or the company is investing significant money in that division. Sony music is not loosing money and developing root kits are vary cheep so money is not going to flow in that direction.
In any case companies tent to sell off divisions that are not profitable. So if you any everyone else stops buying Sony music then you kills off Sony music. But if you stop buying Sony products but Sony music is still profitable then you're wasting your time.
Note: If you send a letter to Saying you're not going to purchase any Sony product for the next year because of the root kit issue that's different. But, that letter would be just as effective if you kept on buying Sony products.
Anyway, last fall I picked up a Sony 55" HDTV because it was the best product on the market in that size range for playing games. Boycotting "Sony" because "Sony Music" does something I don't like would have forced me to either spend more money or get a worse product without changing Sony. IMO that would be silly.
1) 20/20 vision is a fairly poor standard to use. A significant portion of the population has 20/10 which renders all of your numbers useless.
2) The human eye can distinguish levels of contrast much higher than a single pixel on the average TV can create. But, by over sampling the number of pixels used to produce an image you can compensate for this.
3) Moving images appear "fine" because you don't spend much time per pixel but static images placed under a harsher standard. EX: I can easily notice the difference between 1200 and 2400 dpi on a page at 3 feet.
"There's also the fact that humans seem to have a natural need to believe in something. Even those who aggressively deny God may believe in something completely irrational."
That does not support your argument "those... deny God" believe in a lack of god by definition. Agnostics on the other hand neither believe or disbelieve the existence of "God" and therefore disprove your statement.
Anyway, I like many people I feel the existence of God is as likely as the FSM (flying spaghetti monster) but neither believe nor disbelieve the existence of either.
EX: It's possible for a 20 year old to randomly flip's a coin and get heads every time after he keep's it up for 6 months, he goes on the road becomes world famous, in time he believes that it's a sign from god. So he becomes a preacher etc. Then in on his 90th birthday he flips a coin and get's tails and becomes so distraught he dies of a heart attack. However, nothing I said implies his story could not have been random chance.
PS: The idea that the existence or non existence of anything can be proven is false.
Because 44,100 * 16* bits / 8bits / byte * 2 channels = 172,000 bytes / s = 172KB/s = 0.172MB/s so does PCM take 1000x as much data? Or did you mean 172KB/s?
Anyway, a tiny (1MB) buffer should keep things smooth.
A) Piracy. B) Many WoW players have more than one account. (I know people with 4 but the average HC raider seems to have 2-3.) C) There are a tun of bot's in the game. D) Accounts take a while to die after you stop playing.
My guess is there are around 4 million active WoW players.
If China sells off US debt they increase the supply of US security's which reduces their value. For the US to keep borrowing money they would need to increase the interest rate to counter this which increases the cost to the US of borrowing money.
The problem with this is US securities are revolving debt so we need to find someone else to buy that debt when it comes due or pay it off by dumping the value of our currency.
To be clear I don't think "It is my view that religious indoctrination is a form a child abuse which warrants the forcible termination of his/her parental rights and responsibilities without his/her consent." is a good idea.
I was pointing out that the state can not meet everyone's desires. And just because you feel strongly about something does not mean someone feels strongly about its antithesis.
Why do you feel government should care about religions?
It is my view that religious indoctrination is a form a child abuse which warrants the forcible termination of his/her parental rights and responsibilities without his/her consent.
Now are you going to go along with this or do you feel that the state can ignore the beliefs of some of its people?
Nope. What you think of as rock acts like a fluid but water is not a significant player.
Anyway seduction zones are related to heat transfer in that heat transfer is what causes the plates to move in the first place.
Think of it like air. Hot air rises but the temperature drops as you go to the top of Mount Everest because the air pressure drops. If you compress the air on top of Everest you would get the same temperature as the air at its base. The same thing happens to rock. As it is sub ducted its temperature goes up in large part because of the increase in pressure. (Note: There is some heat transfer involved but no where near 100% of the reasons the rocks melt.)
Sony might be losing more money per PS3 but they also have more to gain from it. IMO they are more than willing to kill off the PS3 if it wins them the next format war.
Anyway, PS2 sold 100+million units, lasted for 6 years and is still selling faster than the 360 and ps3 put together. If you assume the 360 will last as long as the Xbox and the PS3 will last as long as the PS2 then your price per year is the same but Sony's loss per unit can be much higher and sill break even.
PS: It's still a little early to tell but IMO the PS3 is in a much better position. It has better graphics capabilities than the 360, its disk's hold more data and it's still selling reasonably well. Because the PS3 has better base hardware the 360 is going to need to start the next cycle even sooner or play second fiddle for 4+ years.
I don't think you getting the kind of advantages you might assume with this approach. First off with non blocking IO you're wasting a lot of CPU time checking to see if you have a response vs. blocking. Second your manually balancing performance issues which is something modern operating systems are vary good at. Finally you're limiting the kinds of third party tools you can use.
Now you could easily have a GUI thread that uses message queues to talk with the networking layer(s) without changing much at all. Add in a simple thread pool to handle performance issues and you're going to have a more responsive and scalable app which also more flexible. (Granted if you have already spent a lot of time tuning things it's not such an issue.)
And, granted in some ways it's easer to debug your style of app, but as soon as have random developers mucking around in the code you're heading for trouble.

Company A makes Z using X and Y.
X + Y = Z
If X = 10$ and Y = $10 then Z = 20$
If X = 0$ and Y = $10 then Z = 10$
When the cost for Z drops the market for Z increases.
Thus:
The market for Z increases as the price for X decreases AND
The market for Y increases as the price for X decreases.
PS: As the market for Y increases the price paid for Y increases.
