well, the physical reason why most flash drives fail is because of some sort of strong voltage spike, maybe a result of touching the electrodes w/o grounding yourself.
but most modern flash drives work by using quantum tunneling, which allows electrons to pass the junction as a wave. of course, some electrons get through by hot electron injection. after years of this wear, certain bits become damaged, and simply become closed circuits.
also, if there is a voltage spike, way too many of the electrons go through by hot electron and again, same thing.
It isn't that evidence isn't used when considering treatments. In fact, there were studies in the 90s that supported the use of beta-blockers.
The problem is that when later evidence shows up to prove otherwise - ie that it does not make a difference - the medical community has adopted the usage of such as standard procedure. Hard to change, no matter the evidence.
is that the people can vote for anything they want and not care about the consequences. this is why we have the republican system that we have, with laws being made by what was originally supposed to be the best and the brightest in congress and the presidency.
of course, again, the people were NOT supposed to determine who was in congress or the presidency directly.
shame on colbert for making a farce of democracy and showing exactly why the founding fathers of america tried to prevent the people from directly selecting the government.
that sounds awful - admin too busy to set up a samba server. makes you wonder whether admins draw the line between quality and time.
if that is the logic for choosing a system, it could be argued that certain admins might invest in an inferior system just to get it up faster.
agreed.
most sciences that have been around for a long time and have developed their own specializations within them, such as physics, have specific journals that target their "demographics" (such as the journal of applied physics a, b, c, d, letters). anything outside of those journals most likely have been rejected by those journals and are irrelevant.
furthermore, the relatively young sciences such as linguistics use (what i personally think is lame) a system of keywords so that anyone can easily find articles that theyre interested in.
truly, i have yet to find any researcher who has complained about this "problem".
Yeah, quantum tunneling is a great way to explore many different materials.
Also, semiconductor physics can be easy to get into but also get truly in depth with. It would be easy to do work with doping of semiconductors, FETs, and many other similar things.
If you are ambitious enough, you could also have them explore the quantum Hall effect.

dude... i feel your pain. i was abandoned when i^2 came along. i was called useless and imaginary.:(
Well, something I've sadly discovered is that many ISVs actually believe this crap. It probably sounds reasonable to an exec or salesman who doesn't know the difference between binary and source D:
The Spivak Calculus book is ALWAYS good. It'll help them to truly understand modern math, but also give them an introduction into analysis. This will give them a head up on ANYTHING that will be thrown at them in the future.
The rugged individualists all left Slackware and went to Gentoo. After the fighting got out of hand, those that didn't move off to one of the Gentoo forks went to one of the BSDs.
well said.
the thing is personally i never moved off of slack because slack offers a mix of both customizability and stability and hands-on ness without the god-awful mess that youd have to (or at least had to in the past) to use gentoo.
seems like its rather easy to use these days, especially with portage.
It seems like the music industry is finally realizing that the constant harassing isn't going to work, so instead of giving up, seems like they're making a last ditch effort to still get money.
The Universities should not have to buy into this. This will simply play into RIAA's pockets.
Furthermore, this is unfair to those who just graduated from a university or are not attending yet.
In short--
this is lame.
Plus, I'm pretty sure that communal console will promote more casual gaming to relieve stress, etc.
On the other hand, personal consoles will more than likely lead to a few people getting into the realm of obsessive gaming. And if I need to tell you why that is a bad idea in terms of productivity, you shouldn't be managing. Or posting on/. >_>
I remember this. I had this problem too. It wasn't necessarily the GPU, because my GPU is running great, hitting great benchmarks (8400 GS). It's actually a problem with the mobo.
First, some background. The computer has HDMI, DVI, and S-Video output. When I first got the system, it had big problems switching between different outputs when I shutoff the system. Then it came to a point where gfx just didn't work on boot. I called the HP service guy (very bad idea). He wanted me to send in my system (wtf no). I just eventually found a manual for the mobo and reset cmos. Solved the problem.
I think your basic assumption is incorrect. Rather than saving on R&D, the company will be forced to make a better cheaper product. If the research was made freely available, no single company has a monopoly on the technology. This of course will increase competition, in the end bringing back our well spent tax money.
Imagine if mp3 players still were held under a single patent (see: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/08/1343248 ) No iPod D: and no Zune (>_> then again, that could be a good thing...)

yes... but how is it on mileage?
douchey lawyer. i dont know how much you must blame him or his bloodsucking lawyer.

So, you get botox and freeze your face. ... then you fix it with this?

might this be the cause of those people who lose their sight after having especially traumatic experiences?

probably are developers who would rather help than hurt their projects. What a stupid idea that it would be otherwise.
