The sand is suborbital, so it won't stay there much longer than it takes to wipe out a few warheads. It'll make for a spectacular meteor shower when it re-enters.
But yeah - that Wine should crash out on a DivX compression or a Web Page Rendering(??!!?) test is... strange. Actually, it's quite understandable. The web page rendering uses Internet Explorer, while DivX compression uses Windows Media Player. Those are areas where WINE hasn't done much implementation yet.
4,708,523,520...5 trillion What scale are you using? Under short scale, that number would be called "five billion", while under long scale it would be "five thousand million" or "five milliard".
Without an external stimulus such as daylight or a rigid schedule, most peoples' sleep cycles will be between 25 and 26 hours. 28 hours is about the upper limit of what people can manage, while 22 hours is the lower limit.
My solution is three genres: 1) Music I like 2) Music I like that I don't want anyone to know about 3) Music I don't like That classification works quite well for me.
10 and 50 are just the result of combining RAID 0 with RAID 1 or RAID 5. I don't know for certain what RAID 6 is, but IIRC it's someone's proprietary attempt at getting around some of the limitations in RAID 5.
I feel sorry for you. My non-hybrid, automatic-transmission Honda Civic gets 25 MPG city (average trip length: 1.25 miles), and somewhere upwards of 40 MPG highway.
That sure sounds like "seldom-required" to me. Do you regularly take photos through fences? That would be mighty weird.
I regularly take photos in forests, and the auto-focus on my camera will invariably pick the nearest tree to focus on, even if that tree is near the edge of the image.
The first and most important step in making your network secure is taking a hammer to the wireless access point. Pretty much everything else after that is optional.
Commercials before a movie have negative value to me: a movie with commercials before it has less value than a movie without commercials. Therefore, under any sensible economic theory, I would pay less for a movie with commercials than for a movie without.
In practice, this means that I almost never watch movies in theaters.
Because you can replace the belt with three co-planar gears, and gears are very easy to make - one of the first micro-scale inventions was a set of three co-planar gears.
e time and not usually just a "little bit" -- 80-85 is common for me on the highway. That said, I've been driving for almost 15 years. I used to work for an insurance agency and attended more safe driving courses/schools then I can recall. I processed thousands of accident reports and claims. And not once in all of that did I see an accident that could have been prevented by "evasive high speed".
You might want to look a bit more, then.
Earlier this year I was driving on a local freeway. I was doing 70 (the car speed limit) and passing a double-trailer semi doing 60 (the truck speed limit). There was a SUV behind me also going 70. I was about to pass the semitractor when it signaled a merge into my lane and started to pull over. I hit the gas and was able to pull in front of the semi. The SUV behind me hit his brakes, and was just barely missed by the rear bumper of the second trailer. Guess what would have happened if I'd slowed down instead of speeding up?
I've got Gentoo running on a 166MHz desktop with 48MB RAM, but only a 1.25GB disk. CD-ROM isn't broken, but it's non-bootable. And to make things more exciting, if you don't hold the CPU cooling fan still while booting the system, only 16MB of RAM is recognized.
If you actually think that this statement is true, get to rehab because you are on crack. A bit rate of 320kbps is about 1/2 of cd quality (16bit@44.1kHz which works out to 705.6kbps).
For the record, I compress my music with FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec). I get an effective bitrate of around 450kbps. This is by definition CD-quality music, as it is ripped directly from a CD and compressed using a lossless codec. A 320kbps MP3 isn't much lower of a bitrate, and at that quality level, MP3 is pretty careful about what it throws away.

Two CDs worth of MP3s compressed into 128MB? Assuming that's 100 minutes of music, works out to a bitrate of 192kbps -- or somewhat better than what you'd get off of iTunes or Kazaa. If it's only 55 minutes of music, then they can have a bitrate of 320kbps, which is almost CD-quality.
This is great technology but the author of the article used an incorrect title. Blurry photos are almost always caused by camera shake, not focusing on the wrong subject in a depth of field situation.
I doubt that. About 90% of the blurry photos I've got are due to the subject moving. The other 10% are caused by the camera autofocus picking something towards the edge of the frame rather than the subject, or the camera focussing on the background instead of the subject in a macro shot, or the autofocus failing entirely because the scene isn't well-lit enough.
(As a side note, do you know how hard it is to convince a bird in flight to hold still while you take its picture?)
At least the "fuck the monkey" ads are Flash these days. Back when they were implemented in Java, two of them on the same web page would bring any computer to a grinding halt.

Presumably copper vapor is less visible on whatever instruments they're using than something like iron.

Stop being so impatient to play the latest games!
There's something to be said for playing older games on hardware that's much faster than they were designed for:
Morrowind GOTY edition with a ton of graphics-enhancement plugins, running at 2048x1536 with 8xS antialiasing, 16x aniso, smooth as glass.

Thanks for the link -- I've been looking for something like that.

Except that's not stealing, that's copyright infringement.
In this case, it's close enough: either way, you're taking something that isn't yours.

I dunno. Does that beat my record, or not?
