So you're saying that embedding information in the stream doesn't change the underlying data: i.e. given two files, one with the embedded information and one without, when run through the decompression algorithm will both result in the same output stream?
Is there a good explanation somewhere written in layman's terms?
"Up to" should mean that it's at least possible to get that speed. If they're doing some kind of rate-limiting to make sure you never get up to the "up to" advertised, I'd say that's pretty well false advertising.
I know it may be splitting hairs, and someone who's getting 56k isn't going to care either way, but if they advertise "Up to " 20 mbps, there shouldn't be any fundamental limitation preventing you from ever achieving that rate.
The path you take leads to extermination. You think you'll be satisfied at 1 billion, but it goes like zipf's law: at 1 billion, you'll want 150 million, at 150 million, you'll want 25 million...
The problem is not the number of people: if there are x number of people on the earth, by definition the earth can support at least that many. The problem is distribution of wealth.
Any population that kills its babies is going to be out bred by a population that holds killing of babies in low regard. From an eugenics standpoint, voluntary abortions are counter-productive. In other words: you're going to have to enforce something at some point, or resign yourself to cultural oblivion.
Yes, it needed to be heavy-lift because of military requirements. But the real problem was that it was reusable: Because it had to have its cost amortized over a hundred flights, it needed to be future-proof for the period (10 years IIRC) it was expected to fly. And that meant it had to have the heavy-lift capability that made it so expensive. And that, perhaps unsurprisingly, it neglected to use during twice that time.
If it was a one-shot system, it would've been like every other one-shot system: an array of sizes, depending on the need, all made to order, some better tested than others due to frequency of use. Probably the Titan IV would've been accelerated or perhaps one of the other lines.
What are you.. a Bond villain? If you're going to start making statements like that, then you'll note that when the world actually had only a billion people, people were saying it should have less than 100 million.
Well, I imagine that, as you'd probably expect, turbo memory involves something spinning around really fast. The delay is probably related to difficulty with machining tolerances and excess vibration.
Who'd want to watch a movie where the first 55 minutes are spent tweaking the size, shape, and costume of the main characters, and then it gets boring and repetitive...
Based on the altitude, I'd guess with you on the lava dome hypothesis. There are plenty of earthly structures which happen to be eerily round as well. I know some sinkholes have been posted, but I think that it reminds me most of this one
Ahh, but what planet? Didn't that new "earth-like" planet recently discovered have estimated surface gravity close to the 1.7 g required to make the statement true?
Also, if it happens to have the voice-recognition that's so common on today's phones, dialing-in-the-dark is just, "tap the screen, say the number." which is even easier than mashing buttons by feel.
But $500 is a bit much for a device that's small enough to accidentally go through the wash. And if it's not that small, it's really too big for me to buy as a cell phone. Fortunately for Apple, there are plenty of geeks just waiting to stick a radio-linked personal computer in a holster.
Well I use sprint, so it's unlikely the iPhone will even be available for another 8 months...
Not poorly at all. They probably want the die-hard SC fans to run around saying, Sim City 5 without the simulated cities, WTF? before making the realization you've just made and sheepishly deciding to give them a chance because of the misunderstanding.
Well the fact that DN3D takes place in Los Angeles, and the previous Duke Nukems took place on some kind of weird factory planet, with no ladders and a lot of mysteriously unsupported floating platforms.
You can usually make a restore disk with utilities present on the restore partitions. Obviously, you have to do this before you screw up your system. You also may only be able to do this once (though you may be able to make image-copies of the disk...)
There's no such thing as a lossless format. Somewhere along the line, Nyquist comes along and says, "That's all you can eat."
The only thing to consider is how much is lost. Depending on how it's recorded and encoded, it's not hard to imagine that a MP3, for instance, would have better fidelity than a CD track. Note, however, if the MP3 was encoded from the CD track, then it obviously won't be superior to it. But even this may be acceptable, if your own hearing is insufficient to determine the difference, even across one transcode operation.
The only really lossless format would be to have the band follow you around and perform for you on command. Then every performance would be a lossless copy of itself by definition.
Maybe, on the other hand, she's saying that AFTER she becomes aware that the consequence of not doing that was his infidelity. Would she have agreed to it if she'd been ask before knowing the inevitable result? The problem with trying to take lessons from what couples say as they break up is that both parties are trying to justify (even if only to themselves) why the other party is the unreasonable one and the cause of the breakup.
If you knew the history of that particular drug, you wouldn't be quite so disapproving of it. It was an accidental result of research into drugs to increase blood flow into certain areas of the body. It happens that the area it increased blood flow to was not the target of the research, but was profitable. The money from that drug paid for that whole line of research and then some, Do you really think they just stopped the original line of inquiry from which that drug resulted?
Further, quality of life is important as well as length of life. Who wants to live to 150 if you have to spend 75 of those years in a wheel bed drinking liquids from a straw?
It's called, "World of Darkness." You shouldn't be expecting ANY visual effects. Let alone, "special." I think it's a brilliant way to reduce development overhead.
You do realize that you're splitting hairs. Although his actual words were that he "took the initiative in creating the internet" presumably by voting for a bill which had funding of ARPA as one of its items, the essence of that statement was Gore claiming credit for the internet's existence.
He might as well have actually said he invented it since he was attempting to ride its coattails directly into office.
Perhaps you've never heard of the principle of "fake, but true?"

I'm not.

But they do own something far more important to graphic designers: the format all your pictures are in...
But your killbot still has an 8-bit preset kill limit....
The first helicopter landing on the summit occurred in 2005. So it's definitely possible.

Well, when I saw the article the first thing I thought was, "Gateway is still around?" So maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.

Unless you're tricked into buying a totem called a "Whore-gon" and show it off to all your friends.

It is a lossless copy of itself by definition. But it is a lossless copy of an unique performance, not a studio-mixed compilation.
