Does that really mean peer reviewed journals? Because you can find just about anything in print claimed as fact.
On the other hand, as i recall from prehistoric times, most teachers wanted 3 sources or some such thing. That would seem to leave out JUST referencing wikipedia. Do they not want that anymore? Or are the others right and his school is a tad underwhelming?
The idea was that if 3 sources agree you are probably golden, if the 1st 3 don't agree you are going to have to keep digging and learn to resolve it. Accepting ANY single source sounds kinda lame. I would take Wikipedia as a source but almost nothing as a SOLE source.
I am glad i have a nice small 80MB Hard drive that only weighs 175lbs and is the size of a mini fridge.
Isn't progress grand;)
Of course i can't actually TURN IT ON as it draws 1950w on startup and the old wiring in my house doesn't like that added to the seperate drive controller required plus the CPU plus the CRT....
One of these days i'll add a 20amp circuit so i can play electronic battleship again:) hehe, i have been playing multiplayer computer games for 25 years now:O
i have a pic if anyone wants but i don't want to slashdot my ISP;)
Since there will be a zillion posts about 5-1/4" 10MB drives i need one of those for my blackmarket Compaq...
That and the fact that the 10-pack costs the hospital $.60! The wrap to rewrap them costs something. You would need some awfully cheap orderlies. Remember they are probably made and packaged in China and sterilized by the pallet either here or there.
Now instead of charging you $20 for the $.75 worth of sponges they can charge you $50 for the $2 of super special bar-coded sponges.
I wonder how they fit enough letters/numbers on a sponge to make it unique. Even assuming only radiopague in sterile packs that's alot of sponges.
(guessed at $.75 for radiopague, regular 4" sponges cost $.50 per 10-pack, we don't sell much to hospitals)(of course the barcoded ones a re a wild guess)
hmm, a lot of these prepaid plans seem kinda spendy.
My little cheesy phone from 7-11 cost $40 and a $25 phone card is good for a year. That's all i use on it since it is just for travel and stuff. If i have more to say there is a home phone, email, or wait til i get there;)
Of course the mod points expire as i find something to mod up:(
Good for you:)
Same reason i keep paying for my MMORPG subscription even tho i don't do much anymore, i can afford to and they can use the subscriber numbers so the remaining players can play until the end of time hopefully if they wish;) Besides for the 1st couple years i probably got 100 hours out of my $10 each month and saved $100 not buying other games, i figure i'll be ahead until like 2012:)
8-tracks can have a fast-forward but most players didn't bother as there was usually less than 15min of music per 'side'. My player has FF and pause buttons. And like most everything else they were hard to repair cause the manufacturer made them that way not cause of the tech;(
If anyone could embrace the free music and sell the merchandise/tour model it should be KISS. Always thought they were a little over-merchandised even back in the day. Don't quite see how that is not viable at least for some. I bet even my mom has KISS dolls in her doll collection.
"They won't press porn discs in their facilities. Neither will Disney. There's already plenty of blu-ray porn out there (me, I think a certain level of definition is just too much)."
Rofl
Maybe that is why someone is building* a blu-ray factory here. The volume estimates seemed kinda low to me but this could explain a lot;)
*building really meaning remodeling an old hotel and putting a press on one floor until they get enough juice hooked up for more.
"Even a DVD recorder sold 5 years ago for $1000 is still frighteningly similar to the one you got for $30 last week"
I don't know about that, the $30 one i just bought 2 days to replace one i broke weighs in at 3 lbs in the shipping carton. When you take out the cords and batteries and remote and cardboard and foam you are left with basically a chip and a plastic tray with a motor, not much to work with:( Damn thing is so light you can't press the buttons without shoving the whole unit back into the entertainment center:/
That said, i think i will go home and fix mine anyways since i only broke the plastic tray with motor;)
One of my major toys as a kid was a vintage Lionel train setup, there is a way to teach repair it yourself philosophies:) I have recently started rebuilding my old (large scale) slot car set too.
Always have been one to tear things apart and try to fix. My cousin and I found a old old lawnmower buried at grandpa's farm. I be darned if we didn't manage to tear it apart and get it running despite being a couple kids without a clue about engines. Hehe, cousin now runs a recycling center...
There must be a mom of one of the players that has lost precious video of her son. Get her out to front the issue for the masses;)
I hate this kind of trick nowdays. I have a scanner driver that won't work and needs an update that requires being registered...registration page no longer exists:(
Gay or not, that usually shuts them up quick. I think that is the one they were going for also. Unfortunately they weren't quite up to the game against wikipedia so they should have stuck with choice A alright.
"We are thrilled to have sold 1.1 million iPhones during the quarter and customers are really loving the product.
We are recognizing revenue from iPhone handset sales using subscription accounting over a 24-month estimated economic life. Total revenue recognized during the quarter from sales of iPhones, iPhone accessories, and payments from AT&T was $118 million. Total deferred revenue from iPhone and Apple TV was $636 million at the end of the September quarter compared to $180 million at the end of the June quarter."
Define not playing games with financials !!
They sold 1.1 million phones PLUS accessories PLUS a cut from at&t BUT booked $118 million. They spread the sale price over 24 months it seems....anyone actually making 24 payments for their phone? I need to learn this trick......
And here i thought it was that the new cost of oil would bankrupt em for that much polyester...
Anyone else subject to daily (hourly) commercials for a law firm that hired Shatner to do some spots besides us poor outcasts in spokane? Not that he did a bad job (its not actually) but after the 1st 1000 airings of it.....
You have any idea how rough a landing some of those little struts can take ? Not so good on side loading but doable.
That is not a problem. The car part will be.
Don't they require airbags and a certain amount of survivablity in different crash situations now? Really doubt you can get all that under 1400 lbs. That is like half of a Mini Cooper isn't it ?!? My 1800 lb Opel has no airbags and would fail any kind of side impact standard, adding wings and a prop while shaving 400lbs seems pretty tough.
Oh and a fender bender that does $40000 in damage would kinda suck too.
Personally i would prefer NOT having a one-touch wing...give me payload or range. I am going to get out to preflight it anyway i hope. I wonder where they hide the gas drain....
Looking at the article i would assume n=378 is the number of participants. If so isn't that a little on the low side no matter how they are picked?
A subset of this would have a pretty big margin of error would it not?
Most studies i recall use more than 1000 people to get to 3% error, not knowing the subset (or the set for sure) wouldn't a margin of error nearing 10% be entirely possible?
This would seem to invalidate the whole thing pretty much (in case the MacAfee tag didn't do that already!) This would leave the only significant info being some of the anti-phishing and anti-spam stuff.
So...
More people say they have anti-phishing and anti-spam than do. Kinda redundant since the only dangerous spam is phishing.... and avoidable without software.
and
A lot of people have outdated AV. This has been the case for almost 20 years....
Had a few problem on office machines that could not run our software,windows,AND AV all at the same time but nothing major.
Personally no problems except for Michelanglo that turns up on my old disks every now and then that tries to infect my 386 (CPAV 1995) and got my XT again:(
I just did an image search and forgot a space. I got a lot of bizarre results, a large number of odd ones come from.hu
I searched on Opel Manta but forgot the space. With it i got many matches very little junk in 1st 10 pages. Without a space i got weird results starting on 1st page. What does a car name have to do with a naked chick with a Nokia phone? Mud wrestlers? Homer Simpson? Paris Hilton? Dozens and dozens of unrelated pictures it seems.
Spyware is off ATM so i didn't get any farther than that.

Gonna be tough to read that at the bottom of the cell phone screen but there's always a price to pay...
However, we would still have 20 office computers to run our accounting system with or without the internet. Maybe the 4 remotes would be 1 with old-school leased lines. They could be older/smaller if i didn't need so much power to run firewall/AV underneath tho.
While new machines can suck the juice the previous one had a 2000 watt disk drive.
Here at least the internet only added a couple wall-warts and an extra GHz on the CPUs.
At home, there are 2 decent computers pretty much online only. That is about half so there is an increase at home.
As usual no clue where they get the info so speculate away...
I had no idea Burma was so nasty til the news blurb last night featuring those shots. Don't remember if that was a BBC or German news show on PBS. Ok, actually i didnt realize Burma still existed...
Those are mostly monks because the gov't is scared to bash a bunch of monks protesting. Despite being isolated from most of the world even the most hard handed regime is scared of pictures of monks getting beaten:) Others are liable to get jailed or worse but they seem to get left alone if the crowd is predomiately monks.
Was gonna say i thought my TI-55 was the first (it just wasn't useful as one) but the article ACTUALLY says: the Smithsonian expanded its collection to include two of the first programmable calculators, the TI-58 and TI-59.
Two of the first != the first two
I bet someone did better on math SAT than verbal....
I still use both my TI-55 and TI-30. Had to hack the TI-55 to use a regular battery after the second nicad died. Recently bought one on ebay to try and restore mine but the battery pack wasn't rebuildable:(

Who is buying PS2 if it is not to replace one? I can't believe that many people are buying one for the first time

My DSL LINE is currently taxed and will remain so (unless there is big dif between house and senate version)
The ISP part only is not taxed.
That would be $66.00 taxed (office, home is like 38.00)
The 9.99 ISP charge is taxfree...woohoo ?
$10 a year more to spend, I am going to save the economy
