Well this is good for the home market and we should see some consoles targeting this chipset combo possibly. However I don't think that NVidia would possibly be a contender in the real $$$ business market.
Ahh just as I was about to post regarding you being modded insightful I see that now you are smited with the troll stick. Anything can be news for nerds, eg the existence of slashdot;)
This is true, Just had a conversation yesterday with a hospital pharmacist who informed me that they keep a stash of hard alcohol for alcoholics who come in for treatment.
However, the hangover is due mostly due to dehydration. When alcohol leaves your brain you are not hydrated enough to replace the fluid you need to function as alcohol suppresses your anti-diahretic hormone which will keep you from hydrating. Hair of the dog will temporarily fix the issue by replacing the void beyond your blood brain barrier, but the best thing by far to do for yourself is to drink some pediasure the night before and the morning after.
However I would like to know what imbalances alcohol creates when abused to cause the physical dependence on this drug.
I was considering whether or not to respond to your post but I think you were unjustly modded flamebait. I apologized in a later post for not saying "unprotected anal sex". The problem which is stated often enough, is that for the most part that the reason for HIV is elective. It is not like getting a cold, or flu, or malaria, people choose to participate in the activity and do it. Maybe it is the diplomat in me but I think that if people are given the option they will do the right thing and protect themselves and their loved ones by following best practices.
The wording of your post as a little odd.Hey this is/. what do you expect;) Of course we do have a lot of bigots and flamers that need to be put in their place so I guess I deserved a good berating for not checking my grammar.
Lat I looked, young girls (teens) were the fastest growing segment getting AIDS.
That is interesting....do you have links to that study? I can look on goggle I guess. It makes sense though, with the growing abstinence culture some girls are starting the belief that anal sex doesn't count as sex so technically you are still a virgin. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. It would be neat to see if it is just that sexual activity among teenagers is growing.
No, you are just being overly sensitive and not willing to admit you jumped to a nasty conclution.
You are trying to make this an ethical debate and I am not going to get into that.
I simply pointed out that anal sex is a common way to contract hiv, I do not know of any studies that are accurately showing the method of contracting hiv as a person could have had several partners and tried several positions before learning that they were HIV infected. Therefore the best pointer that I know of to this is the fact that homosexual men have an unusually high level of HIV infections in their group. So then rather than make an observation based on complete opinion I referenced an article. Given I should have referenced the CDC article to back my other two examples but I felt the CDC article did not do the other two justice and knew that saying anal sex would bring out the homosexual bigots on both sides.
I do apologize for not stating "unprotected anal sex", that was my fault.
I said: "2/3 male aids cases are homosexual" as a pointer to anal sex. So rather than reading what you want to read maybe you need to generate a level of tolerance before you get in trouble again.
But yes I have several gay male friends and fear for their health due to this disease.
I am thankful for the sharing of information but after I RTFA it seems to me that this will only benefit individuals in developed countries with health care. What does this do for countries without a health care system where aids is rampant?
Of course I am a proponent of education being the best way to eradicate AIDS or bring it to a manageable level. There will always be people who will contract it in a truly unpreventable manner. However, in most cases a little caution or healthy set of habits will reduce this dramatically. Reduction in anal sex (2/3 male aids cases are homosexual), prolific unprotected sex, and sharing needles are just some off the top of my head. We arent telling people who they can be partners with and we aren't saying they are wrong.
Of course how do we bring education of this matter to countries were literacy is a luxury?
Amen, gov't apps aren't generally created by seasoned programmers, they are programmed by whoever they could grab to throw at IT in the 90s. People that don't understand the concept of a variable, headers, comments, or anything resembling maintainable code.
Also what is funny here is that dropping the wages wont get very many state workers to quit, they are so entrenched with their vacation time and specialized skills that they WONT go anywhere, they just like to bitch about it. Your average gov't worker is just that, a person who couldn't move on, every once in a while you run a cross a bright star keeping the mess together but they never amount to much as they leave after a couple years anyway.
I have suggested many times that entire departments need to be fired, halved and hire new employees with 20% raises. There is so much bloat in personnel that it is insane, most of the shops have one guy doing the work for 10 people anyway.
Here is the problem with the scenario. THe human body will grow accustomed to it's environment. But what they are doing here is taking a very active person and distressing them by changing their lifestye completely. They seriously need to consider the MMORG player, the body is accustomed to low activity environments and can stay quite comfortable for a long period of time that way.
I will try to remember this next time I am trying to figure out if something is funny or not, I will need you e-mail because your proposition assumes everyone has the same dismal humor as yourself.
Im done being nice, you are an idiot. Usually I look forward to these discussions but you are just flat out an idiot who wants to believe what he wants to with the philosophy and rational of a 2 year old, worse than the religious right.
Fact: Atheism has been allowed, its called communism.
Fact: You don't know what I grew up as or the trials that got me where I am.
Fact: Just because you came across uneducated Christians who think God created animals for food doesn't mean it is right. I agree with you and and try to help you, then spit in my face. Just goes to show that you don't want to listen you want to hate.
Fact: Atheism is a religious belief and religion has no place in science, get over yourself.
Fact: Geography divides people, Thus our evolution into the three Phenotypes: Mongoloid, Negroid, Caucasoid.
Fact: I did not ignore your comment about art, I emphasized your comment that Art is all that religion has given society. This is an obtuse ignorant statement that needed addresses. There is art of many forms, as many forms as there are imagination for man.
Fact: Almost ALL great universities and scholars came from religious institutions which would not have existed without the deep coffers.
I have debated with many people with many backgrounds, you are the worst, most incompetent person I have met so far and I feel a great deal of pity for you and anyone you come in contact with. MY only hope is that someday you grow up and forgive whatever bastard made you this way and get over your bitterness. I offer you fact, and you throw mockery back at me. You talk about Science but apply no logic to your own beliefs. People like you are obtuse and not worth debating with. Not a single point you made is even backed by fact or anything more than opinion. I have debated with many people with many backgrounds, you are the worst, most incompetent person I have met so far and I feel a great deal of pity for you and anyone you come in contact with. MY only hope is that someday you grow up and forgive whatever bastard made you this way and get over your bitterness. I am done here.
Hitler - I declare Godwin's law and therefore am the loser here.
Exactly, this is the point of Linux. You get a system where YOU get to make the choices. So if I want to install X software I can. Now the line gets crossed when people start prohibiting Linux users from doing X or Y.
Oops, sorry didnt mean to say centrist, was reading some political columns at the time;) Existentialism and Post-Modernism (which are the conclusions to Max Stirner's observations) Just didn't suit me because I am a believer that there is absolute truth. Probably my science background;) We as humans are all selfish, it is refreshing to meet the subgroup that admits it. I bet you get a lot of people fired up by stating your selfishness, I know I did;)
Also if you are a fantasy fan, you might like the writings of Terry Goodkind.
Cool, hope the post didn't come off as being smug. Seriously it is fun actually moving through philosophy and seeking truth. It saddens me that most people skip that part of life. Centrist views ended up not being what I was looking for, but I support them. I am hopefully going to start studying greek this fall or next so I can get to some really good stuff.
Your opinion of atheism is completely contradictory to how I view it...I think it does benefit society
What you think or I think does not matter, what actually matters is what is real. Historically, religion with all its flaws has given us the abilities for pretty much any advancement we have today, you can thank the university system for that. Also the charity of Religious organizations to keep society running in times when welfare wasn't around. Even the wars that religion has been responsible for, it really wasn't religion that was the problem, a human used a common goal to cause said war, would have happened with or without religion because people are selfish. Be it the hate of a race, a nationality, or a faith, humans will always use common goals as tools good and evil. Atheism, Historically has given us relatively nothing and taken so much. for a good neutral debate check this link.
Rather, you believe things that have been thoughtfully tested and proven
This is not a fault of religion, this is simple human rationality. I consider myself a rational christian, I believe not because someone told me to, but because it makes sense and I can justify my belief. I do not confuse it with science, but rather a rational understanding of history and personal experience. I will admit largely the religious field behaves like sheep, but that doesn't mean that all religions are wrong. Don't judge a belief be it Atheism, Gnosticism, Theism, or even scientific theories by the people involved, rather look at the evidence behind it. I think this is a mistake many people make.
I think it's marvelous to be driving towards actual truth rather than clouding it up with nonsense.
This statement is completely dependent on there not being a god, for if there is a god of some kind, then the atheist is just driving towards a lie.
Why must these people kill those people? Different religion
Well that is entirely way too exclusive a statement, people use religion as an excuse to kill each other, if they didn't have religion they would use another excuse, this has been proven time and again in history.
Why is global warming all a conspiracy? Because God has a plan.
Who the heck uses this rationality? Wow, any christian is called to be stewards of creation. Case and point, I and the churches I am involved in are very active in taking a proactive stance on the environment, and encouraging others to do the same. Besides the conspiracy theorists are not only theists. People just like a good conspiracy.
And I don't even think I can count how many times I've been told that I am wrong for being a vegetarian
I really hope a christian did not tell you this. Yet another example bad theology because people don't study scripture. God created man as vegetarian, Gen 1:29. It wasn't for a LOOONG time, see a couple thousand years at least, that god made eating meat permissible, Gen 9. Not to mention the chapters on Daniel being a vegetarian and because of that outperformed fellow students. So if your people are Christians telling you this, go ahead and show them that they are full of crap. And no I am not a vegetarian, but I highly respect people that are.
Helped build up modern science and a realistic understanding of how the world actually works.
Sorry there buddy, science is not an atheistic thing. It isn't even a belief, it is an understanding of how the world works, not exclusive to any one world belief. As I said earlier, Christianity in general gave the western world its universities, charitable foundations, and encouraged scientific thought with the exception of some major blunders.
What good did religion do for society?
See the link above, religion has done wonderful things, immeasurable, whether or not their God is real is besides

Actually lawnmower engines are some of the worst offenders emission wise. At least in the US they are.

Really!? you too?
What happens when we allow doping we get an even more skewed playing field as we get athletes who need to be rich in order to compete.
Also didnt SNL do a skit on this once...I seem to remember a guy doing the dead lift and his arms ripping off....

Your assumption presumes that they actually do anything right now. I guess they could always lower their work ethic by sabotaging.
Also what is funny here is that dropping the wages wont get very many state workers to quit, they are so entrenched with their vacation time and specialized skills that they WONT go anywhere, they just like to bitch about it.

Or is there something wrong with this idea?
But to start us off on topic, is there any evidence that the cells will increase beyond their current 10% conversion rate?

How about that beehive, kick it, them bees wont get ya.
