The milled aluminum cases are pretty nice, too. As are the oversized touch pads. In fact, there are lots of things apple does that I wish their competitors would imitate. But instead, they imitate the trivial crap, like the "black keys on grey" and ignore the important stuff like "don't make a case that will off-gas the plasticizers in six months and crack on all the hinges."
But it wouldn't be a nice feature *at all*. It takes away control from the admin. All a malicious user has to do is find out what things have wild cards in them, and construct a username that matches those wild cards, and trick a user who has adduser permissions to add them.
The sudoers file must be edited with visudo, but it can be viewed with less.
Hmm. The windmill my town just installed (another rant... some other time) would "pay for itself" in about four years time without debt service and maintenance*, on a device that's supposed last about 20 years before full replacement (blades, machinery, and tower, although the tower should last a little longer than the rest). Factoring in a reserve for planned replacement/upgrades, maintenance, and debt service, the pay-back timeline gets pushed out to 10-15 years.
*At 2009 retail electric rates + subsidies....
The point I'm trying to make is that 12 year pay-off before factoring in maintenance, debt service, operating expenses, upgrades, equipment overhauls, etc.. Doesn't sound like you're leaving much to work with buffer-wise.
It's hard though for the smoothing. The thermal storage tank suffers from square-cube law problems: a smaller tank is going to lose heat to its environment much more quickly, and/or require more exotic insulation.
The government doesn't have any of its own money. Everything it has it has extracted from YOU with the implied threat of violence. That's a barely acceptable way of funding a military (you can't *not* fund a military, it's either your military or.. someone else's... Same with police forces), but it taints everything the money touches.
Is nasa doing good science? From a scientific standpoint, perhaps. But from a moral standpoint, it's really not.
The disks themselves are probably going to come off of the exact same assembly lines as blu-ray disks. The difference being that they won't have right software to read them. They don't have to make the data on their disks conform to the blu-ray standard, because they only want them to run in their own devices anyway..
Minecraft sucks up a LOT of cpu and RAM, it's true, but I'm eeking by on OS X with only 2 GB of ram, (256 mb of which is dedicated to the graphics card...)
The secret graphics setting the "performance: blah" switch (formerly the fps limit switch). Setting it to "max fps" will cause it to go way overboard with the chunk updates. It'll deliberately use all the cpu you've got for something. Your day-night transitions will, of course, be super fast as a result, but my suspicion, bolstered by what you just said, is that it will also fill the RAM information about all those hidden blocks around you out to.. as far as you have RAM to support....
My machine has only 2 GB max ram, and It always uses it right up to the limit (even though I use power-save mode) If I'm not careful, It'll start paging, which is what really kills the performance.. Do you have a similar experience despite having 8 GB of RAM?
When that happens, we change the the economic system. If we really don't need any human workers to produce everything, then.. we don't need humans to have to work to get the stuff.
Yes, but no one can steal the value of your cattle by borrowing cattle. Sure, they could raise cattle, but that is a time consuming, resource intensive process.
I wish I had so little to be angry about that I could spend time worrying about someone briefly looking at a dim, pin-prick of screen thirty feet away from me, most likely obscured by a person or chair-back.
Well, what would you expect, really, from a bank that could pronounce it's name as the slightly creepy, but eerily comforting, "Watch Ova' Ya'" but instead chose to pronounce it, "Walk Ova' Ya'"....
It was legal before. Some people couldn't handle it. Most didn't try it. Same as now, really, except that you can't regulate for purity what you prohibit entirely.
Although I still say the best thing to do to reduce drunken driving would be to make sure the busses continue to run for at least an hour after the bars close....
I think the real problem, in many areas, is that advocates are taking their eyes off of the prize, and instead going for the goal of using drunk driving as a cudgel to curtail drinking at all.
That's how it happens in an ideal world, and that's even how the politicians voting for it think it will go down - How many would vote for such a law if they thought it would actually stick, rather than just be a notch in their arrow they could point to as being "hard" on something, or "compassionate" about.
But really, what happens is what happened to McCain-Feingold years back. It gets passed, and then it gets trimmed a little around the edges. And the trimming doesn't remove any of the fundamental, objectionable bits.
You must be watching some unbelievably entertaining movies, to be so engrossed that you would spend money to save the precious few second delay required for a lavatory break...
A motor vehicle with a sober driver is also a deadly weapon. The second amendment is about ownership. You have the right to bear arms. Not to get drunk and stagger around town pointing a loaded weapon at everyone you meet.

I think you'll find that he does, in fact, have a style that he weaves into every song he plays. Weird Al is, first and foremost, a polka artist.

I think they mean square metaphorically. As in, he's generally the responsible one in his chowda of friends.

Depends on who's paying for it.

25 GB?

Eh.. That doesn't say what a dollar is worth though. Is it a loaf of bread? 3 minutes of your time? More? Less?
What a dollar will get you is in no way related to the fact that 30% of them have to go to the federal government....
Wait.. what you described is the Federal Reserve system in the US, not the system they had in Soviet Ru...
Oh.. I see what you did there..

What if Gartner has figured that out already, and is taking contrary positions to drive you toward their goals...

Presumably by reminding that there are checkpoints. A dozen tiny red dots on the map drives the point home pretty strongly.
