This is pure speculation, but I'd guess that this would be advantageous because there has been a ton of research done recently in the area of patterns in sound, whether for searching for specific clips of music, or for identifying similarities for other purposes. I realize that vibrations engineering is also a big field, but maybe they aren't looking for patterns? I don't know, just an idea.
According to the American Obesity Association, 2/3 of the nation is overweight, not obese, and is wildly different than 2/3 being obese. Only about 30% of the nation is obese (which is still horrible, granted, but much better than 2/3).
While that is mostly true, I disagree. Sometimes people don't properly fill in the bubble and votes may be missed by the machine. However, "voter intent" is much clearer when using optical scan voting than it was with punch cards, and could more easily be counted manually if need be.
I wholeheartedly agree - especially with the selective memory and the age. I think much of this is the "when I was your age, things were better" syndrome. Everything starts to seem worth less in comparison to idealized memories of things you love, and when you add inflation on top of it, people who are accustomed to movies costing a dollar think that 10 is outrageous. I'm still young by most anyone's standards, and I think 10 is outrageous. But ask a 12 or 13 year old who is just starting to go see movies, and they'll just assume that's what a movie is worth, and then they'll think that 20 dollars is astronomical in another decade. Also, I think that summer isn't the best time to be analyzing movie quality. All the big budget movies come out right before the academy awards these days (sadly) and summer movies tend to be explosions strung together for an hour and a half or so in order to draw throngs of teenagers and middle aged men - which isn't to say they aren't fun, but that I'm not gonna pay 10 bucks to see it (proving my earlier point, I guess).
maybe movies really are declining in quality, but it's so hard to tell from our biased frame of reference, that I just assume our standards are warped by the first "good" things we see.

I don't know if they monitor like that - though they may. However, I do know from the days in high school when I used it (now it just makes me barf) that they have a "report this image" link under every image. Still, I don't know how many teens are going to click the link for fear of selling out their friends.
Combine this with that program that makes lightsaber noises based upon the motion sensor, and I'd call it a feature! 1500 dollars for an exploding lightsaber seems kind of cheap!
while I understand your sentiment, I disagree. I bought episode one, and was still excited to play it for the story even though it has been a year and a half since HL2 was released. I may not have been itching for its release, but when valve started hyping it, I remembered that I wanted to see where the story went. However, I may not be representative of the population as a whole, and a year can be quite a while to wait for something.
Although I tend to think that popular science articles like this one are more "look at the cool gadgets we want to exist in 20 years" rather than "look at the cool gadgets that will exist in 20 years," I think this article is very relevant to this topic, especially what you were saying about the heart regenerating itself after damage from minor attacks.
While I agree that in terms of internet software (such as google, etc), beta does not mean the same thing as it once did, I think that with companies whose users pay for their software (microsoft, apple, game developers, etc) beta is still serious business, and should not in ANY way be expected to be the final product, especially when it comes to software developed by third parties for the OS(drivers). In addition, this beta has not been released to the general public, therefore, it seems microsoft is not using the google-like beta method and is still only releasing to testers (and apparently reviewers).
At UC Davis, the programming instructors had us use vim for about a quarter and a half, then taught us how to use eclipse(around the time that we were learning more advanced C++ topics) and told us that we could use either one for the rest of the assignments. I think this is good because I think vim is an invaluable tool to know, but I also feel that people who are going into the workforce or who are going to be doing larger projects than a quarter-long programming assignment may really be helped by having knowledge of an IDE. So, I guess my suggestion to you is, maybe teach both simultaneously. If you have demonstrations in class, maybe use vim sometimes and an IDE the other times. Or, if you use a chalkboard, just teach both and see what they use. This may not be an approach you want to take, which is understandable, but it worked for me.
It seems like this is only half of the equation. While I think training judges in patent litigation is a great step to make, I feel that what is even more necessary is to have the patent office reevaluate its system and methodology for giving out patents. I think then they wouldn't need to train so many judges, and the judges would just be a good backup for those patents that slip through (as well as the legitimate cases).
my thoughts exactly - what most people seem to be missing (though I don't blame them when TFA is 45 pages) is that they mention that the standard fan won't work if you overclock it AT ALL - crashes every time. They do mention that a beast of a cooler from zalman (shown on page 20 of TFA) will work - but I'm sure it costs you a pretty penny
Personally, I'd rather spend the money on a processor designed for the speed, especially with the power consumption issues.
so, even though people have been recording things on audio cassettes for decades, now that people are doing it digitally in smaller numbers (it takes some technical knowhow), all of a sudden they want to outlaw the recorders?
I think that copy protection schemes are overwhelmingly proving the idea of self-fulfilling prophecies by pushing more people into illegality. It seems like a great premise of the whole freedom thing is trusting people to do what's right in a situation, and not forcing them to do what is right by removing access to legitimate resources. Just my two cents.
yes they are different, but LCDs happen to also make use of capacitors, the cause of the problems, even if they aren't necessarily using them for the exact same reasons.
One other factor that I think is crucial is that TV sizes are increasing, surround sounds systems are getting more effective, and with things like HD-DVD (or Blu-Ray or whatever) coming up, even the people who went to the crappy movies to see explosions are starting to just wait a few months and watch it in the comfort of their own home, saving money on the ludicrous price of a movie ticket these days. I'd personally have avoided some movies in theaters because there is a surround sound system in my house, albeit a crappy one. Anyone else have a take on this?
And while you're at it, you can always learn a bit from our good friend Stalin and make a few of them your special observers of the other children and their parents. We can call them "secret police" - oops. I mean "hidden little enforcers of sunshine and homeland happiness"
In addition, Google has been rumored to be in talks to design a newer, better human race with a collective mind a la the borg or the buggers where information is not stored in our minds, but instead on the telepathically accessible GoogleNet (TM).

It was you? Let's see what we can do about getting you a congressional medal of honor then!
Now I can finally subvocalize to Jane!

Also, on another note - Apple HAS recalled batteries in the past for G4 laptops. It makes me wonder what it eventually will take for there to be a full scale recall of the Macbook batteries.
stuck in a budget bill, most likely

that's such a load of crap
See, but even if you don't see a story on cloaking devices in a given month, it'll still be there, invisible.

But I'm preaching to the choir here, I guess.
Heck, the newest Macs can even run Windows itself.
Except after running windows, some of those macs ONLY run windows. Oops
making it illegal would be pretty extreme, don't you think?
