I don't suppose you considered the possibility that this device was engineered and built by PHD's who have worked in the field longer than you knew it existed, and quite possibly are doing things you didn't even know were possible because they are the result of private, unpublished, research.
I am not saying that your wrong, only that your making an assumption that is, quite possibly, false. I'd imagine that they would not announce that something like this is available if it more or less completely failed to yield usable results.
I also suspect that it's not really designed for an untrained or inexperienced user... I'd imagine it's more useful for quick, on site, elimination of suspects performed by a field technician specially trained in DNA sample collection and analysis. Very useful if your one of the potential suspects who says... "I didn't do it, test me and send me home!".
Finally, I suspect that it's absolutely worthless in obtaining high 'resolution', and highly reliable results... however I would imagine it's great for determining if a suspect matches the sample found at a crimescene with a fair margin of error. Or, for example, to determine if the sample found is even human. I can see a lot of uses for a device that gives "close enough" results, as long as any positive results are verified through more precise methods.
Why? Because the main reason that no one but AMD can curretnly compete is because of the hight cost of the fab's... If third party fabs, capable of producing transistors the size that Intel makes, start springing up around the world we will probably see other design companies come out of the woodwork and start producing innovative and competitive chip designs.
If Via, for example, could produce chips in a 65nm fab in reasonable volumes... they might compete for the laptop market.
It may not be the best move for AMD, but for the buying public it should encourage innovation and competition. Which ultimately benefits everyone.
I know that this is just a ploy to build up hype for the new processors... I just hope that the processor performs up to expectations.
AMD really needs to respond to the Core 2 Duo's with something that tells the world that they are still in the race. I really don't want to see Intel become the unchallenged winner of the silicon wars... it would hurt us users in the long run.
I fear that it is a real possibility however. The cost of fabs, R&D, and marketing have grown so much in the last few years that it would be VERY difficult for any newcomer to compete with Intel unless they managed to develop a completely different and low cost way to manufacture their chips... or they are very heavily backed.
Classic... every news item, from January to now (only 3 I know), talks about the various cracks.
There is not one piece of good news (for them or their customers anyway). I think if I were a movie studio, I would be a little wary of using a product that can't say anything good about itself in the last 4 months!
I think it's funny. It's essentially a banner that advertises nothing but their failures to meet customers expectations!!! LOL
Someone at Apache, IBM, or Sun announce that they are going to introduce a truely cross platform, open source, and Free alternative to Silverlight and Flash.
I think your dead wrong about the whole "flavor of the month" issue. I first became interested in Linux a good number of years ago... and what were the most popular distros that I experimented with?
Redhat, Suse, Gentoo, Debian, Mandrake. Who are the top distros today... the same 5, plus the newcomer, Ubuntu.
I see very few distro's who overtake all of these 5 (now 6) major distros for any period of time. Ubuntu was the first one in my memory to ever make it to the top of the popularity list over one of the other 5. And those 5 have been on that list (in some form or another), except maybe Suse which came later, for as long as I have been interested in linux.
And the great thing is, that if Ubuntu ever does alienate their user base, it's relatively trivial for Dell to move to a new distro... they simply offer it as an option, then the default, then phase out the old. It is still linux, and can still run the same software.
It is hard to say what is reasonable... as compression quality increases it is possible that 128kbit will be near CD quality. Right now however, I think 128kbit is about radio quality for most sources.
I wouldn't be too hurt if the RIAA said 64kbit either... it would just drive me to listen to more Indy music as it will still be at a higher bitrate and won't sound so hollow.
Anything less than 64ktbit, and the RIAA is hurting itself more than it is helping itself. Online radio sells music. I constantly listen to internet radio via iTunes... if I hear a song I like, I buy it right then... not to mention I can see the artist, song title, and sometimes album title right there on my player, which helps sell also (I know it's becoming common to broadcast this info on FM now, if your tuner supports it).
Mod the parent up... a quick read of the the linked Wikipedia article on OLAP and I can see how 12GB of data can be so problematic.
The problem had nothing to do with the amount of data... but the amount of RAM and Processing power required to support even the small amount of data in a OLAP cube.
Read the Wikipedia article and learn somthing before you jump to conclusions!
Scheduled maintenance windows are usually not calculated in uptime measurements. Nor are times the system is unavailable during batch processing, or other predictable downtimes.
I cannot say that is a High Availability system, such as this, that they use the same standards.
And to say that they can't achieve 99.9% availability for power is entirely false. Rackspace, who hosts my companies website, has far better than 99.9% uptime on their infrastructure. That's what redundancy and backup generators are for.
Sure, servers go down, but in a High Availability environment, those are redundant too. I would suspect that most of their downtime is related to software issues... and most of it is the result of poor purchasing, planning, and implementation choices... entirely preventable.
Actually... no digital media is lossless... its sampled from an analog source, so by definition it cannot be lossless.
The only way you will ever hear your favorite artist, in truely lossless format, is to be in the same room with them and hear them.
Don't trust amplification systems either... many of these use circuits that will clip or otherwise distort the analog signal, reducing it's fidelity.
In truth, unless you have the rare opportunity to hear your favorite artist perform acoustically in a non amplified listening situation, you will never hear them in lossless format!
Lossless only means being able to reproduce an identical input by reversing the process used to create the output. So sure, I could make a lossless recording of any source... but if the source sucks, who cares.
I am perfectly OK with the RIAA enforcing a bitrate cap for streaming audio of the works they represent, as long as it's comparable in quality with FM radio. It meets the needs of a casual listener, while still giving the fan a incentive to buy.
One thing I don't like is how your tabs are not saved when the window is closed but firefox is not "quit".
I often, out of windows habit, close the window... and only then remember to quit the application by right clicking on it in my dock and selecting quit.
When I restart firefox... my tabs are not recovered.
I would also like to see additional ff windows opened by clicking on the dock icon... perhaps only if ff already has the focus? This probably breaks a mac interface rule though.
My post was a bit of an exaggeration. But I do find it good policy to NOT tell a woman what to do. There are ways to manipulate them, but outright orders rarely work if your woman has a spine.
If you think that Intel or AMD double the number of transistors in an effort to keep up with Moore's law than you know nothing about business.
No one does anything in an effort to prove Moore correct... they do it for their own benefit. Intel does it to stay ahead of their competition and continue to keep selling more processors. If they chose to stop adding transistors they could pretty much count on losing the race to AMD, and likely becoming obsolete in a very short time.
I agree that more transistors != better... however it is indeed the easiest way, and least complex, to increase performance. Changing the architecture of the chip, negotiating with software developers to support it, etc, is far more complex than adding more transistors.
is more important to nerds than Moore's law anyway. Where's the/. article about it?
Murphy tells us that more bugs will be found on release day than any day previous. That your laptop will work fine until the very minute your presentation is scheduled to begin. And that backup generators are unnecessary unless you don't have them.
Who cares about Moore's law... it's just prophecy from some Nostradamus wannabe.
Not to be crass... but you don't get laid much do you?
Telling a woman that she can't have her myspace, is like telling her she cannot talk on the phone, get her nails done, wear makeup, or gossip with her friends.
Some women like to be dominated, some just don't know better... but any woman worth having would kick your ass to the couch so quick you wouldn't know what hit you if you tried to tell them they couldn't have their myspace.
I have slowly worked on the issue... and I do occasionally just shut her damn browser down before I log in... but everything must be done very carefully. If I tell her I am setting "some rules prohibiting stupidity" I suspect I can expect not to get laid for a week!
The little lady gets upset when I close her browser before logging myself into our Mac... of course if I don't, her damn myspace page (that is always up) consumes 70%-100% cpu AT ALL TIMES.
I don't notice any significant slow downs normally associated with a task using excessive CPU... so I suspect that the consumption is low priority (or Mac gives the interactive user/application priority)
Either way, it usually breaks sleeping too. I can force it to sleep, but it never goes to sleep on it's own if she leaves that damn myspace page open.
... let Google have it. I would much rather have a closely scrutinized, 'Microsoft' of online profiling.
Why? Because the more consolidated the resources are, the easier they are to monitor, and the more careful they have to be because they are a larger target if they do violate our rights, or simply piss off the internet community.
I don't like double click any more than anyone else. Mostly because they are very stealthy (well kinda), compared to Google. I know that Google pays attention to what I search for, I can tell by the ads they provide... it's in my face and I trust them (more or less) because they have lots to lose if they start abusing their users.
I really start to freak out when I visit a not-so-reputable site and get adds for "So-and-so lives in mycity,state about 2 miles away and is looking for a good time..." where did they get my address? I wouldn't put is past doubleclick or any of the smaller tracking systems, but Google would be blasted in the media if they were selling our personal info to Porn/Adult 'dating' sites.
I could be completely wrong... maybe no one cares enough to complain and Google is selling us all up the river... but I doubt it.
I do have to admit though, it's kinda scary knowing that anyone has that kind of power to know so much about a person. Kinda like when I reviewed my FBI security clearance paperwork... it's amazing what they can dig up!
I was under the impression that the issue wasn't so much the use of keys, but the number of people that need to use them on an occasional basis.
If the submitter was indeed trying to eliminate keys altogether, then I apologize for being off topic.
Oh, and I honestly can't think of a situation where an electronic lock doesn't need a mechanical method of opening the door, other than one involving Jack Nicholson and an ax, when the electronics fail... thus still requiring a key to be accessible on short notice during an outage.
Actually, I wasn't insinuating that at all.... I am saying that more than 2% of the combined (male + female) teen community will be pregnant or have a child.
Assuming an even distribution of male and female (50% each sex), then it would actually mean that 4% of the teen girls would be pregnant while they were teens, since 0% of the boys could be.
I guess thats one of those cases where I knew what I was trying to say, and it seemed clear to me because I knew what I was saying, but it actually doesn't say what I intended at all.
Far better than the odds of contracting HIV/AIDS... and hell I'd be willing to bet that more than 2% (male and female combined) of teens will be pregnant before they are no longer teens.
Essentially, what they are saying is that the number of "at risk" teens online is smaller than the number of "at risk" teens using every other proven method to attract sexual predators... such as well SEX, drinking, drugs, SEX, etc.
I am the neighborhood "computer guy", and I have been constantly asked by my neighbors with tweens and teens (mostly girls) if "it's safe to let their kids on the internet?" I tell these concerned parents the same thing. "The fact that your concerned tells me that it is safe. Just make sure your kids know the risks and how important it is to keep their 'real' life private."
Letting your kids online is far safer than dropping them off at the mall for a few hours, and most parents don't hesitate to do that!. We all know that the predators are out there... but these freaks are desperate for a reason. KIDS ARE NOT THAT STUPID!!! Sure it happens from time to time; a creep is better than average, or a kid is more vulnerable, but as a whole kids have great instincts. The creep you really need to spend some energy worrying about is the kid that's fondling your daughter every morning on the school bus and sits next to her in English, he's gonna have a far easier time convincing her to have sex than some internet predator.
Your an ISP... you have bandwidth and old servers... simply get an electronic latch, a webcam, and patch it through to your security officers.
With some easy code, you could remotely unlock the buildings for workers on an as needed basis. Plus it provides video surveillance, and a method to document who accesses the facilities and when.
Keys would still be in the hands of a few techs for situations when the network is down.
net loss of $611 million on revenues of $1.233 billion So essentially, they needed 50% more revenue to break even. Numbers like that are expected in an early startup... but for an established business that's just horrible!
I realize that numbers like this can be misleading, especially when they are doing some significant spending (new fabs, acquiring new companies, filing patents, etc.), however an investor never likes to see a company fail to break even by such a huge margin.
I really hope that whatever AMD has in the works pans out... if they stay behind the technology curve for long after spending like they have recently, they may be stuck waiting for Intel to stop innovating so actively again.
I am just adding fuel to the rumors, but I seem to recall hearing that the definition of "closed" that apple is using is very loose.
From what I remember reading (no links sorry), the iPhone will not support the installation of unsigned applications and plug-ins. However, everyone expects this to be simple to disable or override at the cost of invalidating your warranty.
Also there was some discussion that suggested that 3rd parties can request that their code be signed...
Apple just wants to prevent people from turning their iPhone into a spambot or worse, and they also want to keep support calls to a minimum.
I suspect that most Mac users, like myself, will not be inconvenienced by these restrictions in the least... in fact, unknowingly we will probably welcome them as they help ensure that our phone "just works" whenever we need to use it.
Besides... if the iPhone attracts as much interest as is expected... it'll be hacked in a week just like the AppleTV was.

Yes, in 2024.
Of course they will claim it's something new, patent it, and of course hype the hell out of how they are the "openest news network" on the planet.
