Well, your gaming blog needs to seriously ROCK! If you don't influence enough of the worlds population of gamers into making decisions about game purchases, you're likely never to get a bribe, or even a goody for that matter.
Ah, good point there! As far as I can guess, the only way google can "guess" at the childishness of the user is by tracking the sites visited and drawing conclusions from that.
This, as you suggest, is merely a headline hook. After all, no self-respecting human being ought to be staking their lives on the Wall Street Journal. Goodness knows how much flack they've already taken on other reports, and how much more of it they can and will take.:)
Back to the point though, any site that gives up a cookie does so for tracking reasons. If most people on the planet use one google service or another, it's highly likely that most machines would be eating a lot of google cookies. Pure common sense there!
I really don't see the how storing a cookie on a kids computer would be any more (if at all) dangerous than storing cookies on adults computer.:|
Just sensational media hype this.. Ah, there's my grain of salt!:)
Technology: Boeing Gets $89M To Build Drone That Can Fly For 5 Years Straight
I think it's a lousy idea to spend all that cash to build a drone that can fly straight for 5 years! I prefer craft that are designed to turn, and at least be maneuverable in as many directions as possible. One can always lock the controls to fly them straight right? Right!?:P
Err, I really wish people would title their posts with some level of intelligence yeah?:|
Actually, I'd say it was kinda the other way round.. Word is synonymous with MS Word. Not MS.
In all my experience, people have referred to it as "Type that out in Word and copy it out to me before sending it for a print" and blah.. All we know for sure is that MS was called on for help of some sort. We aren't even sure it was about an MS product.:)
FYI, TFA only mentions 'Microsoft', no mention of 'Word'.
Good catch!:)
Frankly, I would'nt be surprised if they were fiddling with Notepad or WordPad or some such potent MS text editor. I for one love the way it Eff's around with text formatting when these apps are maximized and restored on XP/Vista/Blah.
Frankly, I think it's just an attempt at making MoBo manufacturers bear the brunt of the expenses instead of Intel having to dig into its buffer stock of gold bullion.:| It costs a whole ton more to build an LGA socket than it does, to build a PGA socket.
Having said all that, I tend to lean toward the theory that it's got more to do Women's Golf than a Lesbian and Gay Alliance.:P
Honestly, this would work for just the corporate users, and perhaps the oldies who don't go FPS'ing around the place. It would also do for mobile apps at a cinch. But for all practical purposes, it would seem that Intel is taking a step back into the netherrealm.
The additional surface area offered by a separate GFX chip allows it to cool faster. Frankly, I'd rather slap on a separate GFX card altogether, than waste transistors in my main processor for physics and pixel processing.
Keep the space for cache or add some more muscle to the chip, but don't go stuffing graphics or audio processing in there. The BUS speeds today are good enough to handle the stuff we throw at them with separate chips, so there!
If my Graphics chip blows, I can always replace it. If I somehow manage to fry my processor, I can replace that. Why replace everything if one goes kaput?
I'd probably laugh it off.. However, the point of my comment was to bring into focus exactly what you pointed out. The law is not screwed in this case. It's common sense that has'nt prevailed.
It makes more sense to see it from the victims perspective before bring the harassments in. The law may say "blah" but the upholders of that very same law are unfortunately permitted to choose their own interpretation of what the word of law really means.
It's sad but heck, if I know what someone can do and if I can avoid walking into a wall of nails, I will do what it takes to avoid doing it.
If Watts was innocent in his position, it does'nt make him free of "stupid".:)
So when someone said "Watts the problem", He said "I'm certainly not!"
That kind of attitude with the police can earn you a can of pepper-spray! Also, that kind of attitude in court could certainly earn you some jail-time!
+1 on that! The CPU and the drives were already in place, same goes for the SMPS and the MotherBoard. I also noticed that the cables were already tied into the motherboard and aside from sliding the case shut, there was absolutely no challenge involved.:|
If they really wanted to have a challenge, it would be fairer to have people assemble the whole machine from scratch, including unboxing parts and using a non-powered screw driver!
"Looks pretty challenging."? Did a troll post this up?:P
I don't hunt for keys.. However, I _always_ look at the keyboard when typing. Reason: I'm not a touch typist. I don't hunt for I already know where all the keys are. I look at the keyboard when I type because I constantly require to keep my fingers from drifting.
It's a PAIN because when typing in the dark, it puts an untidy bit on strain on my eyes. I've always wished I had learned to touch type, but alas, I'm afraid, I've locked myself into the point and shoot category now.
By the way, I can hit 90 wpm without a problem and an when excited, I can touch 110~120 with an almost unnoticeable error rate. Yet, I have dreams of being able to touch type.:(
Did anyone try to ask the manufacturers if they knew that cadmium was poisonous? I don't for a moment think you're off track, but I do leave some room for the benefit of doubt.
But that's also beside the point. This issue was not interpreted correctly. It's not that the Chinese are trying to kill you, it's that the government is slipping in it's duty to protect its citizens. They should run checks on all imports to see if the products flowing inward are harmful in any way.
I don't care if China coated all the products they export with Arsenic paint. But I do care if MY government lets the stuff into my supermarket without as much as ensuring that a warning label was first pasted prominently on it!
Just because they publish a book as an e-book, does not mean that publishers will refuse to make Braille copies! As a matter of fact, printing normal books for the masses does not in any way lead us to the conclusion that Braille copies will be inevitable!
Besides, how many normal books have speech synthesis built in? I think NONE!:)
It does not discriminate against the blind in any way! If more people use the kindle, the economy of the situation would reduce the necessity to print paper books for students.
In other words, it would free up a helluva more resources to invest in Braille printers and paper! But you're right, wtf were The National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind thiking!!
I must conclude that it's a psychologically blind federation that's really up to no good! Sheesh!
Taxed? Inspected? Let's talk about fines. And since many of these Chinese companies don't care, let's fine China. If that country won't take responsibility for the poisons they export to us, why are we dealing with them?
If certain firms don't care, by all means, fine them. You can't fine the entire country for the activities of specific firms. If the country has no regulations regarding the items in question, that's entirely their own internal problem, let them deal with it in their own way and time.
Oh, no one asks you to go out and buy cadmium based products.:) People tend to go out and do pretty much what they please. You can't fine a country because one/some of it's firms happen to be selling something you like, dirt cheap, and brimming with poison, if you can't get a hold of your own greed.:) Yay!
Remember.. No one can sell something that no one will buy!
I've always wondered why the girls looked so cute. Perhaps it's because of all the cadmium and lead based products they use.:-D Yin-Yang.. Get it?

Hmmm.... So exactly when does this stop being a simulation? :P
One or none?
Yup, I call that tracking too. :)
But you're right.. Most people look at "tracking" as some kind of a sinister big-brother ploy.
just proof of concept you see.. :P

If you had pumps sending fuel up to the craft, why would you need solar panels at all? Why power the pumps from the craft?
As long as it's tethered, it might as well have all its energy supplied from the ground, or dynamos hooked to the fuel drinking rotors.
Simple, it will use solar power to run motors that pump jet fuel up long tubes that run from the ground.
Haha! Why put the weight of motors and pumps on the craft?
If the tubes run up from the ground, they could just as well pump the fuel up from a ground station.

I think they could use sandpaper instead of wooden pallets to smoothen out the hills.
You give a very good textbook solution to the problem.
Personally, I'd just switch to shielded cables though. :P
Yup, the very same unfortunately. :(
Here're a couple of high-res images of the sockets:

No pins on a processor? They already have that! It's called a Land Grid Array Socket.. or LGA for short.
