The almost ubiquitous turbo button on your computer is completely obsolete. I can't remember the last time I had to worry about the yellow light because my computer was slow.
Maybe the U.S. or other satellite owners should start storing a container full of material which will help the satellite incinerate upon reentry.
This way you don't have to spend the money in time and materials to try and blow up your own satellite. That just seems inefficient to me. I bet the money spent in time to plan/test/implement this scenario is surprising.
No matter how well they designed the card, at the end of the day price/performance is what you are looking for in a graphics card. This card delivers performance that teeters around the same performance that the 8800 Ultra gives at a much lower cost and produces about the same noise and power ratios.
ATI announced that they won't sell cards for over 500 dollars and I think that gives them a good standing in the market place. If you are willing to spend 450 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103052 and want to upgrade in the future, then this is probably going to be best buy. I think that speaks well for ATI who hasn't even been near the market for a while.
That being said, I think if you are going to buy a video card and can wait for Nvidia's product (which is supposed to be in Feb) then I would definitely do that to see what competition they will bring.
My idea was to use magnetic driving lanes to keep cars pushed away from each other and unable to wreck. The car would drive itself and mistakes a computer would make could be stopped by cars automatically lining themselves back up with magnets.
Internet advertisements can be displayed by location. I've seen a few advertisements that say "Welcome to Louisville" which is where I live. Here is an explanation.
And for your second point, I gave an example of a store employee seeing that advertisement as he is on his business computer then going out into the store. Many people are on the internet and around massive amounts of people. Just look at major events like the derby or car racing. The infield is full of people who have laptops and are surfing the web. I think you are picturing most kids in their parents basement as the people who are on the internet which is only a percentage of actual users.
Maybe they should spend some money on advertisement space on the internet. That way the notices could be on just about every web page that is ad supported. They could get more efficient advertisement due to the web being more detailed that billboards.
I think I could spot my brother in a website ad if he were posted on it.
Another good thing about this is that the wanted photos would be displayed when any store employee is surfing the internet. They would see the photo and maybe spot someone in the store at that time. Those people aren't going to remember the picture of the billboard they drove by on the way to work.
Motorcycle police aren't there for high speed chases. It is too dangerous to the officer to do any kind of chase due to the instant death any wreck would bring.
Getting around in New York is slow and takes a lot of corners so the specs on the bike seem to be on target to the top speed they would get on a regular motorcycle in that huge city. I think their testing will prove that the bikes will be just fine for the job.
I just couldn't imagine being paid the amount of money an investigator makes and sit all day and snoop on another company. It just seems wrong from any stand point. Lawsuits are good for making sure that justice is served so I do agree that if Microsoft sees a problem, they should take it to the courts and defend it. If Google is breaking the law then they need to be dealt with.
I could only come up with 2 reasons why the smaller companies would even try to compete.
Cheap advertisement. They only have to fill our paperwork and spend a little bit of money and time. Then they are put on a list and talked about in articles and regular posts (like us) which gives them really cheap advertisement.
It could also be that they want to give their investors the feeling that they are trying to do more with their company by competing to buy the air waves.
I like the way the menuing system works actually. It just prevents me from having to figure out if my application is this type or that type. Just give me a list of programs I have and I'll find it. I just wished the start menu would auto 'sort by name'. When I need to open adobe I just click start -> programs ->adobe. How easy is that?
When I want to look up a dictionary word, I just go to that word. I don't have to figure out its meaning first.
A better analogy would be jury duty. Jury duty is required of you by law but you still get paid for it. Only difference is that you can't charge a price.
Comcast isn't the one in violation of a crime or offense, they are just charging for having to put in wire taps. I understand what you are trying to say in that wire tapping is now legal and Comcast must adhere to that law but they have to pay for that inconvenience to the company.
If anyone didn't know or hasn't comment on this already, there is a very good reason why some Police Officers speed.
There are certain codes (I can't give examples) that are issued that does not allow the officer to turn on his lights and act like there is an emergency because it is not documented so. Officers will speed to get to the scene quicker since they are not allowed to turn on their lights.
Just remember there are good reason for Officers to speed. That doesn't mean I agree with punishing citizens for trying to report speeders.
I believe thia article has good points, and of course the people at Novell know what is going on. But there is a MAJOR different. Novell is a company that makes money off their geeks. So is Sun. Both companies are a technology company that their It techs usually are making money for the company. If 80% of them are making money, then the 20% that are just there to solve minor problem (like they would fix Betty's monitor that doesn't work but she is just a receptionist so she really only causes the company money).
The total other difference would be a company would be like a hospital. Almost everything techs do in a hospital doesn't make the hospital money. Thus, techs are seen as an expense and thats it. Usually that makes the relationship sour between upper management and the IT department. You see, hospitals make money off of patients. Not whether their email, printers, desktops, telephones work. Those things MAY cause a slight customer service issue, but customer service costs the company money as well.
As the article makes a good point, it lacks in understanding of how other companies deal with IT. I wish us "geeks" could be treated with respect the way that Novell looks at their "geeks".
Yes Muhammad Ali deserves a medal of freedom. He publicly fought for Muslim rights and showed the United States that he will succeed. Which he did! He fought for freedom and defended it with great stride. Of course he deserves the Medal of Freedom.

"Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest athletes of all time and an inspirational figure to millions of people around the world," said White House spokeswoman Christie Parell.
I hate mods who mark your post Redundant before they look at the timestamps. You posted this 2 minutes after the first post of this link. Thus you derserve no mods because you were too late on your post.;) But you don't deserve a minus. Oh well, thanks for the link.
I agree with the poster that says cost efficency is the biggest problem. I'm not sure how much they cost, but my dream is to create skyscapers completely out of solar panel. I think the panels look sexy enough to be on a lot of things. They should experiment with different looks for solar panels and have entire cities dressed with solar panels. This would save a whole lot on enegry costs as would be the purpose for solar panels. They should also experiment with a impact resistant solar panel. That way we can dress our cars completely out of solar panel. Basically, I think they should focus their ideas on making solar panels dynamic so we may use them in lots of applications!
"This is a bit of science fiction," said Alex Waibel, director of the International Center for Advanced Communications Technologies, "but it is a vision that we think is very exciting."
This is a vision they are having. It is the first step of a process that they achieved. They don't have a product out that you can try for yourself. They aren't even saying it is ready for the real world. They simply were able to translate muscle movement from your mouth into real words. Just like any other technology, they have reached their prototype. I'm not sure where exactly you think they "finally cracked the problem of machine translation".
You see, that is what the gamecube controller should be modeled after. That looks comfortable enough to point at your TV and click whatever button is needed. A lot better than that darn remote.
I thought of the exact same thing... Geez I'm becoming too much like a nerd. I'm just used to hearing books say at the beginning say "They use names because numbers are harder to remember".

Ubiquitous in its day is what I was referring to. :) Nice story.

Now the question is that if they can actually lie well. Human: "Where did my wallet go?" Robot: "Um... Antarctica I think."
Isn't "In Soviet Russia" supposed to be tagged somewhere on that comment?
It stops 25 comments of "omg this is a dupe" so I'm good with that!
