$17.5M is probably more than they would ever make directly from the free side of their news service. Presuming they win, its the more profitable manuver (Darl d'Bride, anyone?)
Right, but the sound is produced when the energy is transferred to the air, creating a zone of compression. If you were to recapture the energy, the air would not be compressed, and there would be no sound.
This wouldn't be taking initiative. If the alternate browsers all say 'we support the standard HTML test page', then IE will follow suit, just as it did with popup blocking, and now supposedly in IE7, tabs.
Isn't the idea that a slashdotting is the best case scenario for a torrent? Provided, of course, that the traffic ramps up gradually so that there is a significant body of (different) data distributed.
What a brilliant plan! What if we were to take groupings of four pixels, store luminance for each and an average of their red and blue weights, netting a savings of:
uncompressed: 24 bits per pixel X 4 pixels = 72 bits compressed: 8 luminance bits X 4 pixels + 8 Red bits + 8 V bits = 48 bits
100 - (48 / 72 * 100) = 33.3%!
Wait... this sounds an aweful lot like the YUV encoding used in MPEG compression... probably has something to do with it actually being the YUV encoding used in MPEG compression.
It irks me to read a comment on basically every movie that is considered 'rather good' that reads something like "$lead_actor is really bad, and the story is crap". Its like people are reiterating what some critic said for shock value, as a publicity ploy. 'Come see the critic who gave Casablanca a thumbs down!'
Truely amazing that you can actually buy a phone such as that! Really, I think that cellphones do better than many other products in terms of keeping the low end utilitarian. Even the lowest of low end cars seem to come with power everything, ABS, A/C, and a CD player these days.
The Klingons blast Pioneer 10 (which, incidentally, is farther out than the Voyagers are). Perhaps this funding cut is why Voyager comes back to kill us in a few centuries...
There are some courts that are 'better' for trying to win a particular case. For example, if you have a class action suit against a pharmaceuticals company, you do everything in your power to get it heard in the poorest town in the deep south you can find. Apparently for libel, Ontario is the place. Its not always about ability to win, sometimes the size of the overzealous award is what counts;)
People have a nasty habit of making a mess when they do themselves. Jumping off buildings, off bridges, etc, leaves a nasty biohazard that has to be cleaned up.
You know, before the internet, TV, and pictures in the newspaper, we elected candidates based on how good they'd be a the job. The number of times I've heard 'he has an accent' or 'he looks like a monkey' as detractions to the Bush administration astounds me (not to say that they haven't made mistakes, but accents and facial features really don't rank too high)
Because of those pesky guys that try to jail you for mowing down the neighborhood with a minigun. I only did it because the computer wasn't getting the splatter patterns wuite right...
This is precisely where state's rights are a good thing. Its easier to move out of Utah to get away from anti-sin filters than it is to leave the country (and likewise if you prefer anti-sin filters because you lack self-control, you can weigh that in a decision to move to Utah).
FA Porsche has to be the most overrated attribute to a computer component. Is it really *that* challenging to say 'put it in a silver brick'? Radio Shack has been selling the brick shaped enclosure for years; a new color isn't revolutionary.
I have no argument with your desire to hold your mind to a particular standard. What censorship does, however, is hold others' minds to your standard. If I see nothing wrong with exposing myself to nudity, profanity, and other images of 'sin', then there shouldn't be some societal wall there. If someone wants to show it and I want to see it, an open minded individual wouldn't have a problem.
It is the natural right of every person to do what they want, provided they don't bother anyone. I think that anyone can agree with that. The difference is in the definition of 'bother anyone'. Apparently those who censor are bothered by me hearing profanity in a television program I go out of my way to watch, even though in this case I live several thousand miles from them (assuming the senator from Alaska actually leaves the beltway on occasion).
I deactivate the phone by popping the battery... don't even have to take it out of my pocket. One casual motion and we're off the noise and back to business.
I always hear this, to optimize the algorithm not the implementation. But once you have the best algorithm, implementing it stupidly is still wasting potential speed. Shaving.00001 seconds off a loop seems inconsquential. Remember, though, that you picked a good algorithm so that in the case of millions of pieces of data, running time would be limited. By the same logic, shaving a millionth of a second off the execution time of a loop through smart code will save seconds of execution time for millions of iterations. The number of times I've seen code that calls an accessor to get a piece of data from an object for a loop boundary, when that data is never going to change, infuriates me. Call the accessor once, save the return to a local variable, and use that.

But with XP, you really *do* need the Pro version ...

For promoting doing things by committee that would better be done by one or two people.

But I want the giant diamond mountain! Besides, I only crashed by accident ...

Bah! I measure my storage arrays in epic length films. If it doesn't include an overture for the intermission, its just not big enough.

Which brings us to the alternate requirements:
-A patent
-A lawyer
-Xerox paper and envelopes
When you come in through the local international airport, I think its safe to say its not a third world country ...

Don't forget fracking! Where would Starbuck be without it (probably 50% fewer lines, that's where :P)
So ... you support open mindedness, provided your open mind doesn't think about naked women. That's real enlightened. What else is forbidden thought?
