I hope that they don't take all moving parts out of the laptop. For one I am a big fan of being able to swing the laptop screen to any angle I want. But more importantly, a keyboard that doesn't have any movement, would be very frustrating to type on, there would be not tactile response that we are all so used to.
Finally a good post, if only I had mod points right now.
I'm in Victoria, BC and we have the same kind of problems with meth users, not on the same scale. Everytime they bust meth users here they always find stolen bikes that have been dismantled because when they are on the meth all they want is to do something with their hands.
In Vancouver they had a bait car that got stolen by a guy on meth, the video of that was not a good thing, the person was clearly not able to think rationally, he was yelling and waving a gun while driving like a complete idiot.
There is no justified use for meth of any kind, no matter what they say.
I'm sorry sir, I am not able to log onto my computer here since you clearly have security cameras that will record my password. Then you will be able to see all my kidd...... ummmm, then you will see all the open source projects I am working on.
I was looking into IPods as well, but ended up getting a SanDisk e260 (4GB) instead. It is equivalent in size and capacity to the nano, I'd recommend looking it up since it is cheaper than the same capacity nano but has more features.
The one downer is that the click-wheel doesn't feel near as smooth as the IPod's.
note: I'm only endorsing this product because I just got it and am quite happy with it overall.
You also forgot that if someone owns a console, they more than likely own a PC which will be replaced every 2 years or so. So across the four year lifespan of a console you need to add in anywhere from $1000 to $2000 depending on what the computer is used for.
It will do nothing to the PS3, the article said that Sony has suspended shipments of Blue Laser Diodes to other manufacturers, aka they are keeping them for their own products.
If they are planning on blowing up a plane I don't think they care that much about whether the liquid is potable or not. They just need to be confident it won't kill them before they set off the bomb.
Record Company Executive: Hey, I just heard about this great new technology called a DVD, it even has built in copy protection. Just wait till all my friends over at the movie studios hear about this new format, they will be able to finally move away from VHS!!
Movie Executive: Yeah, we've been using DVD's for years.
RCE: Why did anyone tell me that technology has advanced since the early 90's?
I don't think this is the typical Windows System Restore service, it appears to be a proprietary app, or something that HP licensed for their desktops, I hope to get to it some time this week to see what it actually is.
My parents got a new Compaq/HP last week that I set up for them. We were looking for the system restore disk that they always throw in with the boxes to file it away, but there was no CD to be found.
It turns out that there is a utility on the computer to create your own restore CD/DVD's. I haven't run it yet but from what it says it looks like it will create a full image of your drive with whatever was installed when you run the utility.
I'm hoping this actually makes the image because then I don't have to worry about uninstalling 30 odd pieces of crap whenever I have to do a restore for them.
I just had a thought while reading about the spam filters about spelling. So I went and looked in my spam folder and found that every piece of spam has many, many words that are not in a dictionary, ie not spelled correctly.
Why not run a script that filters messages based on spelling? If there are more than 'xx' many words that do not exist in the dictionary you choose to use, then the message gets sent to the spam folder. This would catch the odd e-mail from friends who don't know how to spell or what a spell checker is, but then when you clean out your spam folder you should notice it.
I agree, I planted over 100,000 trees for a summer job, guess my conscience is clear. Now were can I get enough money to buy a big SUV? Maybe I should plant more trees.
I would say that learning through an IDE definately can limit the understanding of a language. But if you are to teach them to use an IDE make sure that in written exams they have to be able to write reasonably long programs with the syntax being a large portion of the grading scheme. If you find that students can't manage this, then you ditch the IDE completely, otherwise you keep the IDE and you will be able to see how well the students are learning the language based on their exam grades where it is pencil and paper.
It looks like Microsoft is allowing its user community to patch problems before it can. Oh no!! That sounds a lot like how the Linux community works. Is this going to be a more common occurence as time goes on?
On Highways I agree that speed limits do seem restrivtive, however, in town they are very intelligent. The speed of a vehicle has a large impact on the severity of accidents when pedestrians are impacted.
In areas where there are many driveways, pedestrians on the side of the street, cyclists, etc, speed needs to be regulated.
Here are a few sections from another article: Are pedestrians at risk from speeding vehicles on city streets and suburban roads? Yes. The second largest category of motor vehicle deaths, after occupants, is pedestrians, and 69 percent of pedestrian deaths occur in urban areas. The speed of vehicles involved in pedestrian impacts is a major determinant of the severity and outcome of injury. There is a much higher ratio of deaths to injuries where speed limits are higher - nine times as high where the speed limit is 55 mph as on roads where it is 30 mph or lower. A federal study of pedestrian crashes found a positive correlation between speed and injury severity. In addition, vehicle speed influences the likelihood that a pedestrian will be struck in the first place because a driver cannot stop quickly enough. One study found that, even in residential zones, almost 20 percent of vehicles were traveling at more than 30 mph when they struck pedestrians. Some cities are using new approaches to slowing urban traffic to reduce pedestrian crashes, especially in school and work zones.
What is the role of speed in crashes? Speed influences crashes in four basic ways:
It increases the distance a vehicle travels from when a driver detects an emergency until the driver reacts.
It increases the distance needed to stop a vehicle once an emergency is perceived.
Crash severity increases by the square of the speed so that, when speed increases from 40 to 60 mph, speed goes up 50 percent while the energy released in a crash more than doubles.
Higher crash speeds reduce the ability of vehicles and restraint systems to protect occupants. http://usww.com/homepage/starteam/speed.html#s1
I agree that shutting off the internet access in classes is an option, though not the best option. I would think that one of the better options would be similar to what the Harvard Buisenss School is doing only don't deny access. Instead log people's use of the internet and if you have had one person causing a lot of distractions you can approach them with whatever possible consesquences there may be.
Okay, I don't think CPU speed increase is the major issue. I would argue that the fact that the memory timings are being changed automatically is going to cause a much greater preformance increase than the CPU overclock of 2MHz from 200MHz. If the memory latency is decreased there will be faster access times which means that whenever there is a cache miss, or a new page needs to be read from memory, the speed the processor gets this information will be much faster. And allows your slightly overclocked processor to use more of the cycles it has. Whereas if the memory timing were not adjusted, those extra 2MHz would just be spend filing time with nothing to do but flush a pipeline.
I would agree that the RIAA is attempting to get rid of the CD as a medium and only distribute protected digital files. I for one, prefer Vorbis for my audio needs and refuse to use iTunes. So, I download from http://www.allofmp3.com/> which allows the choice of bit rate and format before you download the music. And music is priced by file size, so if you want the high quality you pay a bit more for it, but it is still much less than iTunes.

The funny thing about your post is that AMD worked with/ licensed a lot of IBM's technology to be able to get to 65nm
o m/0,,51_104_543~114609,00.html
AMDs 65nm processes have evolved from a technology agreement with IBM that has been highly beneficial to AMD.

Oh we are supposed to announce changes in our profiles? Well in that case I should let everyone know that I am married now.

There are the JStamp http://jstamp.systronix.com/index.htm controllers or some of the ARM http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM7EJSCore.html controllers. These both run native Java Byte Code.
