One does not surrender the right to complain just because he/she didn't vote.
No one loses rights, it's just that your opinion is not as meaningful, since you seem apathetic to the outcome in the first place.
Some people vote local and skip the prez. vote for your reason. They 'voted' none of the above (NOTA).
Some people (where allowed), write in their own candidate. Make it absurd enough, people get the point.
Some people 'vote the loser'.
The thing is if you do not even go to vote, any bitching you do means less, IMO.
There is a sizable group of voters that are NOTA.
If this group were to congeal and pick a common loser, a third party could be started. Perot almost had this, before he went nuts.
One thing perplexes me: Chips on the same board communicate using Gigabit Ethernet, while board-to-board communication takes place on 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Wouldn't same board communication be more frequent, hence needing the faster connection?
Better yet, why not 10GBe for both?
Wire each builder's seat with a voltage generator. Keep the timer aspect (x minutes/hrs to fix), but add voltage increasers for number of errors detected. Really bad coders would get lauched like a rail gun 'bullet'.
Is the knee-jerk response to control iNet content. ("If we stop 'x' from getting anywhere, we send a message to the bullies")
Bullies are a part of society and are everywhere - even to the point of Bully Countries (someday: Bully Planets).
Take the power away. Write a reverse contactor to send bullyx a magnitude reply (you send 1, I send 10). Better yet, trap the messages and post them on a website to show the pure idiocy of the bully.
collision detection was added. In other words, no flying car could get within x feet (decided by speed) or the onboard controller would slow it down.
There would have to be special ground infrastructure to allow 'landing' lanes that the grounders could not get to.
If someone tried to deliberately hit a building the flauto (FLying AUTOmobile) would slow and land when the speed got too low. To avoid the flauto-hackers, unique IDs would have to be broadcast or the flauto-cops would come (or anti-flauto weapons shoot them down).
Let's Talk About X Baby

The Power of X
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
The supposed 'modularization' that is to take place in future 'X' releases sounds promising - release enough to work (or 'major' fixes) and then extremely long development cycles can be diminished.
The one caveat is to not micro-modularize; do not release things for install/upgrade that cannot stand on their own (i.e. - limited functionality vs. not executable).
I would like to see 'X' go on a diet, though (if possible).
Sadly, it is illegal to download even in this scenario, according to the RIAA. You could circumvent by having a 'buddy' lend you his CD and you make a backup (which can be claimed as a b/u of your original before it was damaged). Still illegal but untraceable unless your buddy snitches. The RIAA, however, even wants to outlaw the currently legal backup scenario (copy yours 4 b/u). If you have the time and patience, route a set of jacks to your PC from your home stereo and burn your vinyl onto your HD. There are several programs that will re-track the audio stream into separate songs - some even have filters to improve the quality. I have a small (50) LP collection and about 12 will never be CD's (2 are from IA radio stations in the 80s).
The wired connection does not really have a future for audio-only phone. With cell/VoIP lowering their costs, they become a viable complete replacement, with the added benefit of mobility.
The traditional phone companies will have to add more hi-speed connections, maybe integrated with other services to survive.
Eh... I don't know how much of their sales is from someone "Evaulating the product and marketing points coherently
That's the fun (?!) of MS mktng - do not get people on the 'evaluate the product' path. Apple woulda won that (better ui, technically superior). MS got people (the first few) to buy for cheap - then the 'everybodys doin it' wagon pulled up.
Kinda like the Pres elect offerings - if people REALLY evaluated these people neither would get elected. Instead it is the ABB vs. Ultra-Cons groups and f*** the real issues.
As MS as shown, a good marketing strategy most often trumps a better product.
Books like these are good reading for sftwr designers. Some are obvious (determine product focus and need thereof), and including the flops definitely helps.
Much like the Linux marketing tends to be on the we're the good guys/we're free like beer.
Apple may have been much bigger than they are if the "We're just better" message resonated better than the fire-sale prices of early-MS ('like nickel beer night vs. Ballpark beer prices')
Since this would seem to have the same life span (rot) of DVD/CD, this could be useful for short-term, full-system backups (depending on what that 1G throughput really meant).
Don't really see the need for 1TB movie/audio capability. Even the LOTR trilogy does not need this much room.
Is it just coincendence that 2 Russian airliners were downed yesterday and then this 'attackapalooza' is announced by a Russian agency?
Since there are elections in Russia upcoming for the Chechnya region (politician was assassinated there), if the attack is related to that it would make more sense for iNet attacks to hit Russian webistes.
IMO if a videogame is going to advertise during the game, there better be a substantial discount (I know there won't be but a guy can dream). I do not see the game experience benefit of the Master Chief powering up with a SoBe Liz Blizz, or enjoying Coke often.
It would be less distasteful to include advertising with the game documentation - although that fails with online downloads.

To start, essays are an ill fit in my life.
The proof is that I am ignorant and apathetic: I don't know how to write and essay, and I don't care.
In conclusion, essays are not a favorite of mine.

Because '96' has a higher additive value in the 8s factoring system.
6 + 4 = 10
9 + 6 = 15
1 + 2 + 8 = 11
Even 256 is too small.

Why can't these 'illegal downloaders' just repay the RIAA with their purchased CDs, like the RIAA got to do?
Of course, the repayment CDs would be chosen by the defendants, just like the RIAA got to do.
