How long do you estimate it will take for your program to break the record? Did you remember to include a counter to display how much data is being generated?
When someone dies from cancer, it's usually because the cancer has spread all over the body, so what may have started out as skin cancer can be found in places like bones.
Who cares if it's sharper? The people with large TV screens. Current analog images look ok on smaller screens, if you don't mind the color bleed, the static on images from distant stations, and the blurring of small objects into non-existance. On large screens (20" and above), it gets annoying, and on home theater setups (60" and larger), it looks bad.
Chicken-and-egg cycle? Here in Spokane, there are somewhere between one and five digital broadcast stations (depending on where you are; I can only recieve one of them, because of where my house is). Seems to me there's already content for the digital TVs to recieve.
So analog TV broadcasts are to stop on December 2006, but putting digital tuners in TVs isn't required until July 2007, and electronics manufacturers are resisting the requirement to put the tuners in? Something doesn't make sense here!
These are maintainence problems. Parts on an airplane wear out over time. Replacing these parts is a part of the normal maintainence schedule. It's only when a part wears out faster than expected, and is overlooked during safety inspections, that these airplane crashes occur.
"Not exactly safe" is an understatement. One ship in five that set out to cross the Atlantic didn't make it back. By that standard, the Shuttle is incredibly safe.
The problem with Mars Direct is that it's too practical for NASA.

Quick response times and putting out fires while they're small is what got us into this mess.
Fire is a normal part of most forests. Periodic small fires clear out underbrush, fallen leaves, and pine needles, reducing the amount of fuel available and making large fires less common. The small fires also rarely spread from the ground to the treetops, so large trees usually survived the fires.
Back in the early to mid 1900s, the Forest Service built an impressive network of fire watchtowers in the western forests. As a result, they were able to spot and put out most fires before they could spread. This resulted in forests getting thicker, and a buildup of underbrush and debris on forest floors.
Now, we've got a situation where, when a fire gets established, it will burn out of control and cause widespread damage. Fires usually spread to the treetops, killing all the trees in the forest. And to make things worse, people are building more and more houses in the forest.
I'm not saying that it does so, but it's quite possible for Windows to call home at a lower level than ZoneAlarm (or any software firewall) can monitor. After all, a software firewall is running under the OS.
Look at the robots.txt file. It's pretty amazing: it excludes the normal stuff for a robots file: dynamically-generated pages, and pages like FAQs. It also excludes a whole mass of specific pages and groups of pages: ones relating to Iraq. Something's up.
Whats $2 million to people who have buisness contacts in Nigeria, have hundereds of thousands of dollars in cash through the mail every day, have a 16" penis, get free prescription drugs, have computer patches delivered to their inbox, have free accounts at thousands of porn sites and have 17 mail order Russian brides.
What's $2 million to them? Enough to pay for penis-reduction surgery, perhaps? I can't imagine it being very much fun to stub your dick every time you have sex!
1) For USENET messages, I use a Hotmail address that I check once in a blue moon, and a note in my sig that I don't check that address very often 2) For mailing lists, I use a free address that I can change at any time. 3) For online forums, "PM me for my e-mail address"

What he's saying is that the Firebird icons are consistent, and the Thunderbird icons are consistent, but there's nothing to relate the two to each other.
The engines stall, the pilot goes into a glide and restarts the engines when he's away from the methane. At any reasonable altitude, an airplane should be able to make at least ten miles before reaching sea level.

In the article, they said they did their best to filter out duplicate data.
You've got a thousand times your allotment of porn! Think of all the poor people in Africa who you are depriving of their annual allowance!

Has anyone heard of other stories of manufacturers being deceptive so that they could get better reviews?
Quack II, anyone?
$400? Where are you shopping? I just bought a DTV tuner card for my computer for $189 shipped.

Well, seeing as those stations are completely free, I'd say it's a good deal.

Won't save much. Funding NASA for a year takes as much money as funding the military for a day.

Just means I'll have to wait until spring, since garage sales don't often occur during the winter around here.
As long as you're very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very careful, it's perfectly safe!

Can they demonstrate three different ways of accessing the web, only one of which may be a web browser?
