wondering at how quickly and why the Chinese are catching up with the US.
Not really. Unless something has changed, they are still using Russian technology, not home built. When they get there, then they will have 'arrived' in my book.
Possible. I tried this method, but was coming up with irratic results. I found out that my fridge uses electricity almost continuously, but uses a variable amont of electricity. I was very surprised by this. I think you will find the same thing with your PC as well.
So, for many applications, your method works. But if you want to measure your average PC's power usage over a period for days.... ain't gonna happen.
Plus this IS slashdot. If it ain't a geek implementation, it ain't worth doing;)
Mod this flamebait if you like, but Apple isn't the paragon of virtue that many in the Slashdot community have made it out to be. DRM in iTunes. Okay. I get that one. They are out to portect the musicians and groups that make it possible to have iTunes in the first place.
But then explain to me why Apple has been so against 3rd party extenders to iTunes. For example, try to get your Pocket PC with iTunes. Until recently, you haven't been able to. Why? Companies that provide the apps get sued by Apple. How does this fit the "protect the musicians" model? It doesn't.
Suing folks who scoop them on news. Embracing trusted computing (misnomer if I ever heard of one). Sorry folks, this ain't the apple of the 80's.
This section of the syllabus seems to capture what the course is about the most concisely.
to consider the societal implications of nanotech in the context of social, scientific, historical, political, environmental, philosophical, ethical, and cultural ideas applied from other fields and prior work;
My question: How is this different from any other major technological advance? For goodness sake, there were backlashes against the railroad, against the first steam engines. More recently we have backlashes against cloning, and nuclear power.
Every time we run into some topic like this, we have a very polarized debate. In practice, society adapts to the change and goes on with life. Ultimately, the market decides which innovations become wide spread, and how they are implemented.
My impression from the syllabus: fluff class looking to cash in on a hot button topic.
Answer: It doesn't. It is part of a growing phenomenon on Slashdot. Post a link to wiki that kind of relates to the thread. Someone is impressed that poster knows how to link... and hey it is WIKI after all... it must be informative: let's mod it up!
In actuality, naked links get used by folks to lazy to summarize the information themselves, but want some mod points. I called yours out as the link doesn't even answer his questions.
Firefox has increased its market share every month between 0.5 percent and 1 percent, mostly at the expense of IE. This means Firefox would cross the 10% market share by October."
And by this logic, it will have 105% market share by 2021 at the latest.
Anyone have a form e-mail for companies that choose to make IE only web sites? I've replied to a couple of these companies without a whole lot of success. Not thinking that one e-mail will make much of a difference, but thinking that maybe someone has written one more persuasively than I did...
You are right. I should have specified "Google's Valuation is Totally Wrong". I was so worried about simplifying certain concepts without getting it wrong that I missed my misleading title.
Google, secretive or not, is producing good software at an alarming rate (yes, alarming is the word to use here) and at this time should be invested in
I will betcha a sig line that Google's total market cap drops below 1/2 of its current cap by end of 2007.
Are we on?
If not, how can you recommend people bet real money on this stock?

Worked for Oceania.
For the clueless among us, can someone tell us what the above code does?
Their tactic worked! Sales have now DOUBLED due to your purchase. Now their moms won't have to chip in and buy that second CD!
Thanks for the info. I hadn't realized that the Chinese built their (mostly) own ship. They are further along that I knew.

Reference to some incidents I referred to.
Maybe. But to me, it smells more like "you must use our hardware so we make more profit"
So, oh wise AC. Why does Apple sue folks who port iTunes over to Pocket PC?

Agreed. By the time I read the syllabus, and posted my comment, the other had appeared. Please don't tell people that I RTFA. I might get banned ;)

Yes. You are condemned to being an editor for the rest of your life.
As long as it keeps me employed...
Also, note that after I posted this, the wiki summary came up with the following added line:
Also, like, dust devils are not tornados, because they aren't. Dust devils are primarilly dust, while tornado are primarilly not.
It definitely wasn't there before. Talk about pathetic.

Have a nice day.
Does that mean that a tornado is only on earth? Why are these referred to as "Dust Devils" and not tornadoes generally?
Two questions. Show me where the link answers either of them.
Sorry. That link doesn't answer the grandparent's question.

That will rock!

You replied to it. Therefore, the troll did its job.
Clearly my understanding is wrong. Thanks for the info.
The fact that people were eager for Google's inclusion into the S&P 500 is a giant red flag to me.
Entry into the S&P 500 is based upon market capitalization, not Standards & Poors saying 'these are the 500 companies we think are cool'.
That being said, i agree with your post whole heartedly.
