I quit WoW in the spring of 2006 - 18 months ago. and when i read this article, i still got the urge to go play it. I won't, obviously, but it still interests me.
you were correct to begin with actually. the production per acre has increased, but that is undoubtedly from the use of fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation (make crops grow bigger quicker), not to mention newer more productive strains of the grains. the mechanization does not affect it at all.
Exactly the issue I was going to bring up. When graphing data, it has difficulty/it is impossible to display the equation of a line of best fit, place several sets of data on the same graph, etc.
The link in the article works now, although it didnt when I first posted. If you have a link to a place to buy a system with 8 GB of ram, where does the "ask" part of "ask slashdot" come in?
Doing work this memory-intensive is probably much better suited to the desktop. Windows XP (home edition at least) doesn't support more than 3gb of memory, and I've never seen a laptop with more than 2gb of RAM preinstalled. Your friend was probably right - a computer on wheels or some similar idea would be more effective, or more practical at least. It will also leave you with much more choice for upgrades.
The thing is, people get exposure to diesel cars when they are out in public - whereas the fluorescent lights a person is likely to encounter would not be a compact fluorescent but a long, tube-shaped industrial grade (or however you like to refer to it). Which are always a blue-white colour instead of the yellow-white shade which I prefer.
Thanks for the link. All the bulbs I have ever seen (and used) are more of a blue-white shade. And I simply prefer the more yellow tone of traditional incandescents.
As for the newer CFLs, the ones I'm using are just standard ones I pick up from Canadian Tire - I'm not sure, maybe the technology isn't as widespread up here? These bulbs are probably about two years old, if that makes a difference.
Now, people may get another option in lighting. CFLs cause an annoying flashing in the corners of mine, and other peoples, eyes. Not to mention, some people like the "warm" yellow colour of common incandescents. Could be an intriguing development of lighting technologies.
how can you view newton and tesla from the point of view of someone in their time? science has a long way to go still before it can explain everything.
That's like thinking that descendants of Scots who came to North America would want to destroy it. It may no longer be necessary to you, but it might have ties to your culture etc.

havent you listened to anything obama said? there are no "red states" or "blue states," there is only the "United States" :)
i think the subject really says enough about what i think...
soon enough we'll be able to fire proton torpedos from warp.

Yes, that'll certainly help the economy of the maritimes. are you kidding?

Probably the cheapest solution is to kill a couple billion people. that will reduce demand for a fair bit of time.
I presume they would've had shielding in place for early missions into space where photographic film was used?
...but what I'm really looking forward to is Diablo III. clickclick clickclickclickclickclick clickclick clickclickclick
Except "a million" is what the prefix mega actually means. That's a pretty good reason imo.
The trans-siberian railway already switches gages once, down by mongolia. They do that easily enough, they will do it easily enough with this project.

speaking of FUD....

which would mean the employment rate would be 90.5%, which is indeed greater than 20%! (just messing with semantics)
depends on the airport. Some smaller ones get 5-10 planes a day.
It *can* be the most stressful jobs, though. Can being the key word there.

no you see, that was an example of the mistakes the incompetent staff were making.
The thing is, facilitating copyright infringement, as you put it, isn't illegal in sweden.
Maybe more game creators will move to OpenGL.
A long shot, I know, but more likely with this move than without it.
