What if the oxycotin people had really trustworthy looking people investing their credits? I can understand the computer, you can't trust them, but that guy giving me drugs up my nose obviously has my best intentions in mind.
Oh God, it's going to learn languages from examples? I hope they don't try this over the net, otherwise we'll have computers writing LOL, IC, and other nonsense.
If they wanted a quick turn around, they could have just put an advertisement in the paper on how to do it. I'm sure it would have been fixed within hours.
I have a feeling that we'll look back on the jobs most of us currently have as shackles that prevented us from pursuing our true interests. Yeah, but Vegas is expensive. The art is balancing your job and your "true interests" of boobies.
The first rule of concrete is that no matter what you do, it will crack. That's why you have expansion joints. Things to consider for road use would be how porous the material is (allowing water to enter and crack it as you pointed out), and how resistent to wear it will be. It may be 500x stronger, but not 500x more durable. That's to say it might be able to stand 500x more direct loading, but not 500x more traffic driving over it, accelerating, and braking.
I imagine this stuff will be used in structual design, like high rises and bridges. Traditional concrete is performs very, very poorly in tensile applications, but it amazing in compression applications. If this material will perform better in tensile applications then steel reinforced concrete, and is cheaper, the construction industry could be revamped overnight. I believe there's been material like this before though, and the cost prohibited it from being used in construction.
I agree with the parent, and I can explain in this example. I work for a construction company that has need of a documentation and cost control system. I have proposed to them a fairly basic web oriented system that gives them very powerful and flexible features, but they are not interested. I then suggested that I could extend their Excel system (very very limited and basic material already in it) into Access, but they are not interested because not all employees have Access. I then proposed extending their Excel system further, making it a mini-database with a GUI interface, and they finally started listening. After reviewing the amount of work it would take for me to make such a system in Excel, I abandoned the idea. Hopefully someday, I can convince them to look at my web oriented approach, because that's where my skill set is. I can do some Excel, but it would take me far longer to write this in VBA then PHP.
So yes, it is much easier to get companies to accept a solution in Excel, because the program is so common, and most employees are comfortable with it. Also, there's a small matter of training. Almost everyone knows what to expect from the Excel GUI, even custom apps written in VBA will have an Excel look. Any other system will require, at least some, training.
This isn't working out well for HTML or CSS. Microsoft still butchers how it parses it, even though it's facing the best opposition it's had, Firefox. They've got so much in the bank, they're going to feel untouchable until someone topples them.
Oddly, I have the feeling this lawsuit was filed because he abandoned her for some other 15 year old. He keeps getting older, but they stay the same age.
I have Windows XP Pro installed, and I only had to spend a few hours fiddling to get the proper drivers (though windows did work out of the box). My trouble with Linux was only Fedora recognized the firewire CD-rom, so I had to either install from a windows partition with the ISO's on it (which I couldn't get to work for Mandrake or Debian) or install Fedora. I'm still having problems installing programs, but I'll figure it out eventually.
I installed my first copy of Linux just the other day (Fedora) onto my Sony laptop, after trying Mandrake and Debian with no luck. I've been using windows for years, and would consider myself a fairly advanced user compared to the average, but it took me no less then 12 hours of fiddling to get to the KDE desktop. If the Linux community wants to see Linux become mainstream, they need to focus on usability, instead of security. It's what Microsoft has done. If my 80 year old grandmother who's never touched a computer can jump into Windows XP and start emailing, Microsoft has done their job. Sure my grandmother's computer will be hacked in microseconds, but she'll never know the difference. That kind of ease of use is what allows Microsoft to keep their edge. On the other hand, I need to get over to some Linux forum to find out how to install the sonypi drivers, since double clicking an.rpm doesn't do anything. For some reason, I expected it to behave like a.exe.
There is quite a bit of insight here. My brother, bless his heart, has been labelled as LD (learning disabled). The kid is easily as smart as me (I'm an engineer), but he's learned the toxic lesson of only working as hard as you have to at a young age. The school's response to his LD was to curve his grades. He's getting an A in the regular English class, when he deserves and F, because he's LD. The other kids in the class are probably getting C's, and doing A work. This whole system of giving hand outs to people that don't deserve them has to stop, or we'll all be learning to weld.
So? 25th Hour was barely worth remembering. It wasn't supposed to be a Hollywood blockbuster like Troy was supposed to be, and what we'd hope Ender's Game would be. Troy? They should have called it Suck.
The bible says seven days. We're talking about God here, the all powerful being. He doesn't need seven million years, or seven billion. He didn't even need eight days. He used seven, that's what it says.
I agree that some parts of the bible can't be taken literally. It has been translated by humans, and read by humans. We're gonna mess it up at some point. It's when they use specific numbers that I think we should believe what it says. Obviously God is capable of doing anything in any amount of time.
Now you're gonna ask why all the fossils are there. Honestly, I don't know. I'm starting to think he put them there, just to test our faith. Having never been God, I really can't comprehend why he would do anything.
I would be interested in something like this, depending on how it all flushed out. I am intrigued by the thought of having all the information I need in one place, accessible from anywhere I go. If Google were to offer web hosting along with the OS, I'd buy in right now. Being able to do web development without waiting on FTP would awesome. I'm not saying I'd jump in whole hog and torch my desktop, but if it worked in unison with my desktop and laptop, it wouldn't be any different then trying the latest version of Windows. I don't see how they could give me my Counter Strike fix at the visual performance I require.
I have two 19" monitors running dual display, because I decided I needed more desktop. Turns out I just have one app maximized to both monitors at once all the time, in stead of 60 small windows. The reason for it is pretty simple, I don't want to continually be scrolling. It's just much more comfortable to have everything laid out in front of me. If I need access to something else, Alt+Tab is just a click away.
I disagree. I'm recently moved my counter strike source server off of my desktop onto a dual pentium III 1 GHz dedicated server and I can tell a difference in the performance. 2x1GHz does not equal 2 GHz, and faster processors do mean faster performance.
We aren't talking about Google and Microsoft dominating the world. We are talking about Google forcing high rankings on their own content on their own search engine.
Then why do we give Microsoft so much shit for bundling IE with Windows? They're just trying to make their browser the most used on their OS.

It is your choice to participate in it or not. You can "opt-out" of a class suit if you wish to sue them independently.

Last I checked, Microsoft sells something similar to this.

instead of just hitting return
This is windows, we don't use keyboards.
Maybe he should buy advertisement space on people's foreheads.

It already does this on Firefox and Windows. Can't do a damn thing until all animation is finished.

My friend, you need a smartphone, like the Motorola MPx220.

The summary mentions a 42U rack, which sounds like a server rack to me.
I disagree. I'm recently moved my counter strike source server off of my desktop onto a dual pentium III 1 GHz dedicated server and I can tell a difference in the performance. 2x1GHz does not equal 2 GHz, and faster processors do mean faster performance.
A, B, or G? I need details boys........
