I have walked that path too. Don't you just hate it when you search using google on a complex technical question and the first 500 sights are your exact question with someone replying with the insightful remark of just use google.
Oh and if you search for anything car related all you get is a bunch of sigs detailing what the person did to their car. That is where slashdot got it right - moving the sigs out of the meaty text part of the articles.
Well it doesn't really matter what you think So the paper isn't up for discussion? Then lets just assume that all papers are correct - I think not. You know/. we have to dissect everything.
Let me clarify. If there is a group that seems to be high in intelligence yet has a history of health problems, would you: A) Assume that health problems are from being smart B) That the group of people that had health problems figured out how to survive
See research made the correlation that the group of smart people have health problems. Where I see it as that group of slightly unhealthy people survived for a reason (not being slaughtered) and that they were smart enough to carry on with the defects; thus, the smart one survived.
I was reading the paper and I read "Bummer dudes". That isn't what I would like to see in a technical paper. As for one thing, the author doesn't investigate (enough) alternative methods of crippled smart people. I would have theorized that during the medieval ages that warriors would have went after healthy combatants instead of slaughtering passive crippled people. If the crippled people were smart enough to survive then the smart people would have carried on. I think the correlation the author tried to present had two variables that may be related but don't necessarily relate one for one.
A computer at each end, a phone and a overhead projector. Share your desktop with the other end, connect via telephone and what with the projector. If you want to see everyone then use a simple camera and share that.
The OS any machine runs is become irrelevant. I want a base OS that can run virtual machines and whatever runs on top as a Virtual OS doesn't really really matter. Similar to how Mac and OSX runs but without any legacy core that can interfere. With MS, they have the Virtual Machine on top of Windows yet if they made the Virtual Machine the OS and the run windows or whatever that would be the best of both worlds. Don't like Windows great it will run Linux, Symbian, Palm whatever and who cares lets just get the Virtual Machine running. Hm Sounds like Sun needs to extend Java to run Virtual Machines rather than running on an OS and that could complete a Virtual Machine.
The only thing that can tie 3 to 4 is a 3.5 to loosen up some details.
Like
The said Death Star, 1 took how so many years therefore, must have been building 2 at some point prior to get operational for 6. If so than I ask what battle is being prepaired for with 2 death stars.
How is Leia a princess and why does she have information that Vader wants to extract from here in 4.
What does Obi Wan study while prior to 4 to become so powerful. And why did he even tell Vader he would become more powerful if he stuck him down. How does he know this? Clearly "Ben" is in contact with Luke because Luke knows him.
Too many loose ends. It gave me a headache yet I like to use the pharse "3 completes".
I think that whe Lucas made Leia and Luke siblings it was a direct attack of the Empire Strikes Back when they kissed. He wanted to throw a fork into the wheels because he was relieved of director (or what ever lead it was) duties. He wanted to say he knew the story line and no one else should interfere. Doesn't it seem strange that in a New Hope, Vader had Leia in posession but couldn't detect some "force" yet miles away he did in Return of the Jedi. You can point to that momment is where Lucas fell of the wagon and wanted to do things his(tm) way.
Lets say that you could fit the entire Lord of the Rings in HD on 1 disk. Hmm, lets see what a movie company exec might say "Consumers wont pay 60 bucks for 1 disk. They want a bunch of disks so they think they're buying a bunch of stuff."
Consumer would say "Hey why are you charging me 60 bucks for one disk, it should only be 20 bucks as it doesn't cost you anymore to stamp out one disk as it does 4 disks."
Unless for the next 7-10 years a quad layer Blu-Ray dvd media costs > $10k. And if that were the case then BlueRay would be the winner. You have to get the companies onboard thinking that no one can copy their disks cheaper than you can sell them for. Look at the price dual layer dvd the best I could find is $3 and I can get regular ones for 50 cents; so the execs are looking at moving on because the price of dvd replication is falling to the brake point of make it your self is cheaper.
But this firefox window, with 3 different webpages in tabs, is using a measely 13 Meg (down to 1.5M when minimized).
That is an underrated posting. I just tested Mozilla and it has 5 tabs open using 33m of main memory and 53m Virtual memory. I minimized it and it only uses 800k of main memory. I didn't realize that it used such little memory minimized.
I think the parent to you reply was saying that the rate of growth is growing as rapid:
0% -> 1% is infinite market growth while 1% -> 2% is the same market growth and the market doubled while 2% -> 3% is less than the rate of growth above but yet the same market growth.
In all three the market captured was the same but the rate of growth couldn't be sustained as you approach 100%.
That is interesting. I read your post wrong the first time. I read: What if GPL Code lost its license after 5 years and you could then do whatever you want with it. Which seems only fair that it should go both ways?
I have to agree. I wasn't going to even post in the discussion but with clichés like: no pun intended, to say the least and sudden change of heart wasn't what I would expect in reading a technical article. Then I went and searched on the author and (let me add my own cliché) put the nail in the coffin for this author. Total waste of two clicks.
I can sum it up what he was trying to say with my interpretation included: Competition sucks when markets get tight.
7.5% of Netflix is currently owned by Netflix Co-Founder and CEO Reed Hastings. Given that Netflix stock has already fallen by 60% over the last 12 month and that their stock is currently one of the largest short postions on Wall Street, a $3 price target seems a little aggressive.
Second rule in investment is never say a stock can go no lower. The trip to zero is a hard fall at any price.
First rule, you probably are wondering, is: buy low and sell high.
The bigger question for me is if the open source software is used and fails then where does the accountability lie?
If I contract you to build me a widget and it fails it is your fault. I am not responsible for your third party errors. You should have tested the software to the contracted standards and I should receive a quality statement signoff from your engineering department. That is of course if you are building a system that requires quality. If you are building a system for yourself then you still have no one to blame for failure other than yourself.
I just looked up the static of GSM and CDMA users. The site said that GSM adds more customers per year than the total number of CDMA users. But it did go on to say that GSM claims TDMA and SMS as users.
The problem is that most cell phones aren't sold at what they're worth.
I have to disagree. The market dictates the value of the product. In fact, I think the subsidy from the carriers is causing the price of cell phone prices to be inflated. Think about it; that would buy a cell phone for 600+ dollars? No one, I can get a fully functional handheld computer and kick in the transceiver for that price.
CDMA technology is stagnating
CDMA is very popular in Asian markets and they have streaming videophones. GSM is in the European market and I would guess that CDMA to GSM ratio worldwide is close to 50% if not tilted to the CDMA a little. Which technology is better? I think CDMA is a little better; however, I think that neither is quite perfect. Some years from now, A common technology will bridge the two and the war will be over and maybe perfection?
Your tickling one of my biggest gripes with cell phones today - carrier specific phones. Maybe one day the hardware will be powerful enough so that software will talk to whatever technology is used. A new technology arrives, great, get a software upgrade instead of new hardware. But this isn't specific to cell phones either - how many 802.11 technologies have you gone through?
This sounds like a good outsourcing candidate. I would hate to click all day but I imainge someone overseas wouldn't mind making a buck doing it and best yet I bet that it wouldn't be illegal there nor even any recourse that a company could seek.
I have conceded. I need MBA School. However, to throw into the mix I still think that the sheer volume of readers will drive profits from advertisers vs. profit from readers.

150 ppm / 60 = 2.5 pages per second
2.5 * 11 inches (normal paper) = 27.5
27.5 (inches per second) = 1.5625 miles per hour
Paper can move around at 1.5 miles per hour no problem.
so it does not work as you hypothesize
Why not? The parents of these crippled babies were staying at home caring for an infant instead of fighting off warriors.
Who is smarter? The one that gets killed in battle or the one that never goes to battle.
Yes, that is a better paper.
/. we have to dissect everything.
