Can someone sell me whatever this guy is smoking? No google toolbar?
It has a search portion, that is fully customizable to other searchs, plus the capability to create your own custom keywords to use in the toolbar instead. (like the built in dict "word" for definition, you can use any keywords for search items, if you choose not to use the search toolbar)
Useful for computers? No, since like the article says, audio and video input and outputs are usually seperate. How many people use speakers attached to there monitor?
Useful for Home Entertaintment? For quality setups, its even less useful since the video and audio are going to different outputs (speakers and a TV for example)
Is it just me, or wouldn't this be pointless? What are you trying to gain by doing this? The quality won't be any better (since your going through DVI anyway)
Hopefully this will make it so when I go to a website that requires "IE 6.0+ or Netscape some version +" that it will finally work in Firefox, which probably has more marketshare than Netscape.
1) Color Scheme No one likes 2) Move the menus from there top left location to the top right... 3) In fact let's just move completely away from the familiar IE look people are used to, and scare them off 3) Built in Toolbars most people don't want 4)... 5) Profit?
It's not analogous to putting a video camera or bug in your house. It's similiar to putting a GPS on your house though.
Is tailing a car searching? No. Is using a GPS tracker device the same as tailing? That's the lines I'm thinking along, and it's far more like tailing than it is like bugging.
Michael Powell isn't terribly concerned. "Better data is needed," Powell admits. "But the data we have is still valuable." Who most benefits from the "value" of that data is the billion dollar question.
So when hexus reviews the card, they seem to have problems keeping there graphs consistent. Mainly the colours of the lines.
The 6800 was yellow in all the tests, but the other two cards would switch colours from one set to the next, and go from blue to red for the SLI 6600 and from orange to green for the single 6600.
It would be more logical that if you wanted to switch colours, you'd go orange to red, and then blue to some other blue shade or something.
And especially don't us similiar colours (the orange and red) for the different cards when you switch tests. That just leads to confusion or, more likley, a more difficult time in interperting the results.
The case in India is like arresting the CEO of ebay for having illegal content for sale on there site. I'm pretty sure the prodedure in the US is that ebay takes the auction down, and they they would go after the person trying to sell the illegal stuff, not the CEO of ebay.
The bittorent example, on the other hand, are the police going after illegal content providers, period. [Again, the debate over the legality of the.torrent files is not my point, and has been discussed before]
Wrong wrong wrong. At least in the province of Alberta where I live. In fact the report I just read but the Tire Recycling Manufacturers Association said that they were worried that there wouldn't be ENOUGH used tires to fill the increasing demand for different scrap tire rubber products.
Now these uses are far more than rubberized asphalt, but that is only one example of the many products you can create with this.
So they improved it in two ways: It won't go flat. and you get more traction (due to stiffer side stability, which you can get in a narrow profile tire anyways)
But the negatives:
1) It Weighs More - and that weight has a huge impact because rolling mass is much more difficult to move
2) More Friction - Again, a drop in efficency due to difficult in rolling the wheel
3) More Expensive - No longer a need for "expensive" tire pressure monitoring systems (which probably aren't all that expensive, although they are sometimes troublesome) and you don't have to replace your tires as often, but if the tweels cost 3x as much, there is no saving here
4) Noise - No one likes loud tires.
Now I doubt they can get the weight down to a point that is ever lower than that of a rubber air filled tire (air is... well very light) but I could see a weight improvement, and the friction improvement both helping with research and design. And the cost of the tires will always probably remain higher, so this looks like long term technology to me.
Hey, now think about this for future webservers. Just run the webserver on a phone!
Of coure there are issues such as bandwidth costs and connection speeds, but I'm talking future, or maybe in select locations where highspeed mobile bandwidth is available.
No more RIAA or MPAA knocking on the door, instead they're putting there hand in your pocket looking for your phone that our hosting your bittorent tracker on.

Might as well use cash if you have to go to all that hastle for a purchase of over $50.
Your system makes credit cards useless.
That does a very good job of organising links. I really like the cluster by topics feature.
Make it similiar to adblock where you can use notation to exclude a wide number of things with only a few listings.
So apparently my less than sign didn't show up... so.. But with the price of one console less than the price of one high end video card...

This is no different than simply following the person, except that well you don't have to follow the person around constantly.
As another poster put it, there is no expectation of privacy regarding your location as your driving along the road.

1) Need Better Data
2) Data we have is Valuable
3) ???
4) Profit
Aren't you assuming I am assuming that you weren't Candian?
Luckily for us Canadians, irritating Candians are actually pretty nice to be around compared to some other countries...

These cases are not similiar.
India Tech Support: "Sounds like your harddrive is broken. Please find it and staple it with your receipt and sent it to..."
Customer: "Which part is the hard drive?"
India Tech Support: "It's the screen part, where the flashy picture thing comes up"
Except in the case in India, he was actively helping the police catch the criminal, and was trying to maintain his site as fully legal.
The same cannot be said of the bittorent website operators.
[assuming of course you deem what they do as illegal as well, which is another argument covered probably a dozen times already]

Now these uses are far more than rubberized asphalt, but that is only one example of the many products you can create with this.
Rubber tires are already used in asphalt for improved roads, so the rubber tire landfill issue is becoming non existant.
