I'd actually advise against diet soda. Would you rather drink a ton of sugar, or a bunch of chemicals you've got very little idea about? The best solution, in my opinion, is just don't drink soda. Drink water or juices. I drink tons of soda, so I'm not practicing what I'm preaching, but hey, I know its going to catch up with me later.
SLI doesn't support this. SLI has a method of distributing work among the cards that is infeasible with four cores. It probably wouldn't be a particularly complex rework, but nonetheless, it would not be compatible with more than two cores as it stands now. For more information read the other Hexus article about SLI which was linked in the summary.
If it does in fact run the same version of the game found in the store as that article suggests, then I'm sure it won't bea huge challenge to reverse engineer. I'm suprised though, that it actually exists, and I'm also going to be suprised at anyone who buys it. $30/mo PLUS games? In the time that a normal computer lasts without upgrades, it will wind up costing you more to have bought the Phantom than to have bought a computer.
I hope you're not speaking of Microsoft-branded mice. In my experience, they're all vastly inferior to my current Logitech mouse. Their scroll wheels also tend to break easily, and wind up going both ways when scrolled one way due to mechanical failures.
Its sad that a Ph.D in Stats has to sink so low as to stab his progeny in the back by supporting a company with a vested and pronounced interest in global monopoly, just to afford to live for the moment.
Think about it before you shop Wal-Mart. Is it worth it?
This is one of those times when "Anonymous Coward" is just oh-so-fitting.
I believe it was Jefferson who said something along the lines of, the best way to improve a government is to criticize it.
If you didn't, we'd wind up with more Hitlers, and less Lincolns.
A few "Rights" lost: "Right" to a fair unbiased vote. "Right" to a learning-based education (opposed to a test-score-based one). "Right" to check books out from the library without fear of incrimination.
"Rights" and rights he'd like to abolish: Right of equal treatment regardless of sexuality (notice the lack of quotes). Right of atheistic or theistic freedom. "Right" to a government of the people, as opposed to a government of big business.
Also, if you're supporting Bush, why are you calling it a right for immigrants to ignore the law? And what does Major League Baseball have to do with the government? Its its own organization. Little to no intervention, and the government doesn't have the "right" to change something like that anyway.
And another AC gets theft and infringement confused. Copyright infringement, if its illegal, is not theft.
Theft is like going to the store and taking a bottle of milk from them. Copyright infringment is like having a friend of yours buy a bottle of milk, but make exact replicas of said bottle with milk intact, at no cost to anyone but himself, and give you one.
"Them" would include many Slashdot posters as is. One who writes this, at that.
Knowing even my able-minded peers, simply providing a facility isn't quite enough. There's got to be some goal or directive, or some kind of activity to do, or the students will just converse amongst themselves. That's not a particularly bad thing, but I don't believe its the goal of the author's endeavour.
The environment is important, but high school students tend to do their own thing unless at least nudged into it.
Of course there isn't a "mesh" yet. Part of the fantasy of the previous poster is that such "meshes" are created. They don't exist yet, not even in the big cities. Definitely it would take longer to reach Kansas, that's given, but your arguement points a flaw with his in the present... when his is meant for the future.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm in the suburbs of Massachusetts. There's no mesh to join up with here.
Firefox does fix the pop-up problem. Firefox by default won't let a page open a window except in onClicks and such events, IE does.
Where I go to school (which happens to be a public high school) the native network is Mac OS, which sucked in previous years because they hadn't updated it. Now that the computers are running OSX it is a very respectable network. However they also decided they'd run a few systems with Windows. Horrible idea, they use Internet Explorer, Windows 98, and of course this means that they're vulnerable to almost all the drive-by installers out there, which students will tend to browse to ("Check out this Flash game!").
With the admins used to Macs, the introduction of Windows labs is a terrible idea, especially when they refuse to use an updated OS, and a security-flaw-prone version of the browser. They also don't put an admin password on the BIOSes, so I wind up checking that first, to see if someone screwed up the boot order, or disabled the ethernet card (I've seen both these).
Untrustworthiness is not some inherent quality in adolescence. I agree that I'm not "mature," but I can make mature decisions, I can speak maturely. All I need to drive maturely is experience. What makes you think that every teen is inherently evil? I admit that I've not passed through the danger zone you mention, but I'm a quarter into it, and foresee no further difficulty.
If parents didn't trust their children, places like Tranquility Bay (in Jamaica... look it up...) would be a lot more popular. How is that good parenting? Its atrocious! I'd also like to point out that enforcing something does not mean the enforcee will continue to exhibit the wanted behaviour. How many convicts leave prison only to commit another crime and become reimprisoned? The causation of enforcement on good behaviour is tentative at most.
I resent your ageism. There are some things that can be rightfully placed on adolescents, but knowing the difference between right and wrong is something anyone should have learned before they were 13. I also resent your insinuation of the association of intelligence and manipulation. I have no reason to manipulate my parents. Why would I? Shouldn't a maternal or paternal relationship be based on love?
Actually, MA, which the grandparent spoke of, has thought about that. A teen with a liscence is allowed to drive family members, and passengers over 18. Its just preventing them from driving other teen friends around.
Even speaking as one who will be under this restriction, I think it makes sense. I realize that the majority of my peers are total idiots, and I know that even I myself am lacking driving skills, I've got very little experience, after all.
I also agree about situational awareness. Its something I've been trying to address with myself, I've observed it, it scares me from driving more, and keeps me driving pretty slowly (I haven't driven on highways, the speed would scare me far too much). That said, maintaining a low speed would be good for any inexperienced driver, as long as they know when they need to be matching speed, i.e. on highways.
The article subject, GPS speed tracking in cell phones, I feel would be very ineffective. (I already know my parents would be very reluctant to get such a system, they would view it as a superfluous expense. If a parent is a good role-model, they shouldn't need such a device)
If you haven't observed, I'm a 16 year old male in Massachusetts, taking Driver's Education and hoping to survive on the road for several more decades.
I think he's talking about television programming, not computer programming. Television programming is free, computer programming sometimes is, and sometimes is not.
That's almost exactly how its done where I live in Massachusetts. Its got a series of unconnected arrows, and the machines are real nitpicky, they only accept it if they can tell its really for one spot. They actually sometimes spit them back and the lines have to be darkened. It seems very accurate, moreso than a blackbox touchscreen.
To my previous knowledge, at least on a state basis (Massachusetts here...) sending unsolicited recordings was illegal. Before the do not call registry, they had to pay their telemarketers to make the calls. If this thing goes through, then its back behind square one. Not only would they be able to make calls, but they could do it with machines instead of paid employees!
Granted, I do like the recorded appointment reminders that my dentist has... but there's no reason to change this. It works! The only thing I can see telemarketing selling is credit cards and real estate agents.
Cell phones are a perfect example of useless complication. I personally don't have one, so whenever I borrow one to make a call, I have to ask the owner what buttons to press. This never happened with touchpad or rotary phones, but cellphones insiston having six or seven different buttons in addition to all the numeric digits, and even if there's a green button and a red button, sometimes you have to press the green before and after calling, or in some other arbitrary fashion. Voicemail is also hideously complex...
Even the average user has a multitude of little icons on his or her system tray, the problem isn't merely in the IT field, although that's where it rears highest its ugly head.
The issue is not being illustrated as a purely IT problem, but as a problem that IT needs to address.

Your system is more powerful. Since you already spent the money, it was worth it. Congradulations!

I cringe at the wrist-pain and carpal-tunnel-syndrome that would be induced by said punishment. Thank God for selections and the wildcard.
(Just like the ass that decided to "axe" a question.)
I think that one actually comes from accents. I know that at least people with Boston accents tend to say it.

Falls under? That is "web browsing."
Solution: don't buy from Wal-Mart. Period. It's like stabbing your children or grandchildren in the back. I shouldn't need to elaborate.
Yes, because its still copyright infringement. And also perhaps fraud.

I think he's talking about television programming, not computer programming. Television programming is free, computer programming sometimes is, and sometimes is not.
If you've ever programmed a TI calculator, there's no support for functions, so you either have a lot of gotos, or a lot of "programs."
On a standard computer, its much less common, but still existant.
