List of H anime (but not including fan parodies, have to keep up standards)
And 9827 more lists of this kind. Shall we keep the mathematical proofs for now, ok? By the time hard disk space becomes scare we can think about where to start deleting.
Also still running a five year old PC here, and the basic model from that time at that (Via C3 CPU, but 512 MB RAM). It still works fine as my main PC, the only problem I have with it now is the low quality on-board card and the fact that a AGP port was missing to do a decent upgrade (though there are still some PCI cards around I suppose). I still run the same OS as I did then, it was always pretty stable. By now the power supply, or something else that is critical to booting the board, seems to be be nearing its end, but apart from that there was never any reason to change this working system.
No: As far I understood, in the US you have to pay an all-inclusive amount for living, food, and tuition. Even if you don't want to eat the food, you still have to pay for it.
In the Netherlands you pay separately for everything, so you have more choice on what you spend your money on. Still, it is quite expensive, the same or higher as railway station prices. I guess you don't go to a railway station in the US so often, so let's say it's like gas station prices. The candy machines at Utrecht University were a giant ripoff. I got a letter of them today with a request to spend them money for some fund, I should just reply I already paid them through all those Twix bars I paid double the price for.
In Germany, it's much better, before last year you didn't even have to pay tuition, you just pay about 600 euro per semester for general student services (sports facilities, the dining ("mensa" we call it), and even free public transport. Each university has a student representation that is responsible for the distribution of this money. So there's a lot of democracy involved in how the dining is arranged and what you get to eat, and you probably pay less than it actually costs to make it. You can have a simple meal for 2 euro, and a feast for 5 euro:)
Do advertisers get a commission when their product gets into a movie? In fact, you should get money from the company that did the product placement since you are watching their commercials.
Just watch the latest "Miami Vice" movie. I never expected it to be a very good movie, just a simple piece of entertainment. Instead, I spent 30 minutes in the movie watching ads to see the 90-minute ad that came after it. Then wonder why movies make less money nowadays.
I do wonder how Sun is going to make money the next century. They're trying new stuff, like opening up all their sources (java, solaris), but the money doesn't seem to be flowing back from these actions yet. Don't get me wrong, I think this might end up being really good for them selling the CPU in other devices, but I also think Sun makes pretty good products, and one of the last alternatives to the X86s, (for a huge price) and it would be sad if they went down.
This is the second comment like this, and I wonder, how do people that apparently buy all their books meet librarians? If they would just get their books at the library (*) they wouldn't have this book problem to begin with?
Since when does "File and Folder information" not consider my data? They give an innocent example, "the number of files in your Documents". Now let's assume they are really in good faith, don't you think they'll still look at the file extensions and corresponding file sizes? If I were collecting statistics for Microsoft, I sure would like to see that. Where do you keep your copied music? Or big movie files.
The US constitution does apply! But! Not in a state of war! Of course.
Note how the US has been able to be in a constant state of war with some country or another for the last decades. Why shouldn't they? It makes politics easier, and is good for the economy, at least it keeps the population from revolting. Because revolting against a government in a state of war would be unpatriotic, and worse, an act of treason!
In a way it is perfectly worked out in the US of A.
I agree with this! I was a tutor several years ago and had to check lab reports. The experiments they did have been done for the last 20 years and copies are widely available. It's still difficult to see who copied (although that university uses an electronic plagiarism database for almost everything by now, that compares with locally known work but also the internet), especially if it could have been two groups working together. Should I actually mind if two groups work together if it leads to a nice job?
What was easy to see, however, were people who just had it plain wrong. And there were several cases where two identical, crappy, reports were given to me. These people ended up having to do a lot of more work in the end! Idiots! The process of learning itself is actually copying stuff from others, but in the process getting to understand the difference between good stuff and bad stuff by comparing to what you already know and makes sense. If you are too lazy to do the last part, you won't come far even if you copy from the most reliable resource.
Many scientists use wikipedia for example, there are derivations of exotic formulae out there you will hardly find anywhere else. But they will make pretty sure the statements there are double-checked (working the calculations you find out by yourself is the best way here).
You keep using that word "Desktop". I think we should forget about the year where linux would become ready for the Desktop. By the time it would be there, Desktops will be outfashioned anyway. Instead, focus on the year where linux will be ready for mobile devices, which is more or less NOW. The advantage of mobile devices is the fact that driver support can be optimized just for the device itself, and a small set of extension cards. Just look at the new Nokia handheld computers and the EEE. Also, it is the range where people will accept a low end system if it also means they will get a better battery time. And it is a range where minimal use of memory is needed!
What is also good for linux in this market, is that Windows seems to not be able to easily adjust to different form factors. They try to put windows XP on the EEE, but everything will be unreadable on the small screen! You can make icons and fonts bigger, but does that help? Making an interface for mobile devices requires a 'paradigm shift' (to put it in managerspeak), the Xandros developers for the EEE got that right with their simple menu. Nokia got that right. But even Windows CE doesn't get it, still thinking to much in the good-ol' "Desktop" idea.
A maffia boss in Italy was caught in 2006, he used small paper notes with (sloppily) encrypted messages on it to send out orders. Apparently it worked for a long time, and would still have worked if he had used better encryption.
There's only one reason to guard the waste, and that's to ensure that it doesn't end up in the hands of terrorists.
Maybe your government is watching the waste to let it stay out of the hands of "terrorists", but I sure hope my government's priority nr. 1 is watching to make sure that well, you know, it doesn't end up becoming a danger to its people, for example ending up in places like our drinking water.
You might consider trying to undo the brainwash you've had, and think about what a real act of terrorism actually is.
I went through to the abstract, but didn't get much wiser. I might be able to read the article at work if they have the iop subscription, but I might as well just skip that, the abstract gave me a buzzword overload already and did not contain any specific information at all. What are they supposed to be made off?
Being "raised" as a scientist myself, I understand why articles like this are written. Most science is done "in the dark", outside of anyone's understanding, and it needs flashy press releases that color everything up a bit to make sure they will get some media attention and, through that, better chances on funding.
But the point is, there is hardly any "big breakthrough" in science. Everything goes in small steps, sometimes a new mechanism is discovered, the effect of which to scientific progress can only be understood later on. And I am not sure about you lot, but I am pretty numbed down by all the "new treatment against AIDS/cancer/obesitas" discovered. They give false hope, First of all, most of these fancy press releases end up being only vaguely connected to some cancer-involved protein. Secondly, if it would actually have an effect in-vitro, there is at least 10 years between discovery and the possible release needed to filter out all chances on side effects etcetera.
So, let's be realistic. Give your amazing color pictures to the press department, make a nice story of why this is new and can lead to something, but stop making claims that are outside of the direct expectation of the research you're doing. It just hurts the credibility of researchers in general.
And what if I want to listen to own my music at another location, over the internet? Why is a company thinking they will succesfully sell a product that does not give the consumer what he wants? The only way they could sell it is by using very small letters in the product description for this cripledness. But I guess this news will cut hard. Even non-geeks (the majority) will expect their drive to be able to show media files of the internet, so they won't be happy. People will probably find out they can just change the suffix and tell their family to change it back. And buy a "working" device from another company next time. Then again, who buys Western Digital anyway.
Same experience here, not much crap on an IBM bought about a year ago. Still: even under XP there were about 10 IBM programs started at boot, with cryptic names that make it look like a virus (googling helps there). As for quality: The IBM program to select between normal and presentation view is one of the better ones around. One of the disadvantages: As usual for IBM, the programs look like they weren't changed since they were first written in 1993.
4 minutes boot time, I guess you count until all programs have started, if you'd look at the time to get the desktop visible (but without being able to actually do anything) it is shorter.
Still, the EEE pc takes 5 minutes to reinstall the complete OS from DVD. Full boot seems to be about 20 seconds. I think this is going somewhere finally!
By the looks of his other answers, the guy isn't sarcastic. Now I'm not in principle against his points, I am using XP at home to browse the web, that works, it's fine. Browsers even crash less than when I browse using Linux (e.g. youtube manages to stall Firefox on linux every now and then). A friend of mine is a big MS fan and is pretty enthusiastic about their IDEs, quite easy to quickly make a functional application on the server.
But when the functionality of a site depends on the client (i.e. me) installing some 600 MB development software, I see nothing but insanity. And sandboxed applications started from the web is nothing new anyway, just try java webstart, I found it pretty easy to use.
Sorry, I don't agree, a very iPod literate friend of mine had her iPod fully erased when connecting her iPod to a friend's PC in a hurry. If one click of an automatic pop-up menu can erase your whole iPod, something is wrong by design. Why doesn't it recognize if it's your own PC you are connecting to or not? Why doesn't it automatically add music in stead of overwriting an almost completely full iPod with a few MB of songs from someone else's PC?
When you write with a pencil you move graphite layers around, from the pencil to the paper. They stay graphite layers, however. The point is in the layers, the layer-layer bonding is weak pi-bonding, which makes it easy to detach the layers from each other by shearing them (e.g. writing).
The point why diamond stays like it is, is that even though it's thermodynamically unstable, it is kinetically stable. In contrast to graphite, it is very hard in diamond to break all bonds between all atoms in the lattice. The chance of this happening is also so small because you would need to break various bonds at the same time, and statistics goes down. In the case that this would happen, however, diamond would be most likely turn into the lower-energy graphite shape.
Another point of view from which diamonds are hardly "forever" is the resale value. A diamond, just like most champagne, isn't really worth much, the worth of a diamond drops tenfold the moment you've put your signature on the receipt. The only reason it is expensive is because they are marketed like that. There are some excellent articles about the marketing around diamonds on the internets.
That answer is only valid if you are located higher than the cow's current position. If the cow was, for example, just catapulted from a fortress by french knights, and you were standing in the range of the catapult, you'd better look up.
However, if the cow would have an altimeter coupled to a wifi server, you could read out it's height independent of your own position so you wouldn't need to decide whether you should look up or down.
The wireless works with the madwifi version that ships on the machine, but not with HEAD or 9.3.3, and
Only concentrating on short-time success I would say I don't mind issues with licences (is there something wrong with madwifi? I've never heard of it before), and if they ship wifi working, I'll be fine for now. I cannot look into the minds at asus either, I guess they shipped it with whatever was best available (and cheapest) to them... They obviously didn't make something which could win the Richard Stallman award if something like that existed, that is a shame, but then again look how many 'totally open' devices you can buy (for cheap!) at the moment.
I too have heard mixed opinions about the Sony laptop build quality. And mostly good opinions about Asus laptops. Maybe Sony users complain earlier because they expect more. Well, they should, with those prices, but note that the standard Asus laptops are not the cheapest ones either.
I am not very anti-sony, I just find a lot of their technological solutions impractical (didn't they once created an mp3 walkman that couldn't play mp3s?), so if anyone would donate me 2000 euro I'll gladly compare a Sony SDD laptop with an EEE in a daily-life durability test. However, the world doesn't work like that, so I'll just buy a 300 euro EEE because I can afford it and see how it long it will stand up.
