This may actually be a more realistic idea than you think. Some Canadian universities use cold temperatures outside to cut drastically on their electric bill in winter already.
Flash released in this way will be the "high-speed" variety. If you're using USB 1.1 or something, you've got a bottleneck anyway - but if you've just got a regular CF card, it's not built for speed anyway.
Best, most insightful comment I've seen on the whole article. You're absolutely right - if the law's written badly, the only way to keep this from happening is to change it.
I think that's a good point, but I think you're missing a couple of things that are bigger than they seem:
Cars all run off of gas. That's what makes them go - it's what gets the work done. There's one major type of gas, and a smaller type of gas (diesel) that offers more choices - but let's focus on the major gas type, as it's overwhelmingly got the passenger market. Everyone uses it. They know how to install it, they know how to tell when they need more. The process for installing it is the same everywhere.
With computers, installs aren't by any means one click. Using different programs isn't like driving a car - it's like forcing every user to learn to drive a motorcycle, ride a bike, drive a truck, learn the bus routes, and paddle a kayak. I think that computers can be compared to transportation as a whole, but not to just cars.
One of the things Keyhole wanted to do before they were purchased was to integrate real estate data - taxes, boundaries on land parcels, etc - into their database. If Google wants to continue with this, this court ruling could make it easier for them to do so.
It matters quite a bit. The Japanese were refused audience by the US after the initial attempt at conditional surrender. They then went on to contact the Soviets, who we know passed the offer on to the US. The US just didn't get back to the Soviets.
On the second floor of the museum in the Peace Park at Hiroshima, past the exhibit about nuclear proliferation, but before you get to the room with video, you will find replicas of the documents themselves, and you will find that you are wrong.
There was almost no difference between what the Japanese offered the Soviets and what the US offered the Japanese. You're thinking of what the Japanese previously offered the US, which is not what I'm talking about, and not what could have ended the war without using the bomb.
I suspect they didn't "think it was right" to end the war. I think that they wanted to show the Soviet Union that we had the bomb.
The Japanese attempted a few weeks before to open negotiations for surrender with the Soviets. We didn't want to let that happen. This was publicly known at the time - but the US said they wouldn't allow Japan to retain Hirohito, and that was part of Japan's proposed surrender agreement.
Reasonable, right? Don't let the emperor stay in power? The public may have thought so, too... until when the Japanese were allowed to surrender to the US, we allowed him to stay in power then, too.
If you're surprised at why they saw changes at 640x480, you don't understand 3D processing, and you should learn about it.
In a 'realistic' test, everyone is limited by their video cards, so it's pointless to do game benchmarking. Given the large differential between CPUs, this clearly was a good test of a CPU.
What gets me is that they do motherboard tests for 3D games. I mean, what? 1% difference is totally imperceptible.
640x480 tends to be used because everyone else uses it, too. Can you imagine how hard it would be to compare sites' benchmarks if one used 1152x864 all the time, one used 1024x768, and one used 1280x720?
A useful benchmark for a CPU is a test of what the CPU does - in a 3D game, the CPU does physics, AI, etc - and some of the 3D processing before handing off data to the video card for accelerated functions.
In this case, it's best to turn down the resolution so that you can see the difference in CPU power. If you're limited by the video card, you're not getting information that helps you decide what CPU to get - which is the point.
Um... a lot of strippers are the working poor. I'm not sure where you're getting your "thin air" numbers from;), but perhaps you should consider the downside.
I think this should be discussed further - simplifying the tax code would also mean a lot of things the rich don't pay tax on would become taxed. Actually figure out what the differential is, and then we'll talk.
That's where government is supposed to step in with sanctions. That's the idea of regulation - corporations are machines for making money, and they need to be guided away from harming people.
You can buy the Japanese Region 2 DVD, with English subtitles, as I have. cdjapan.co.jp is one place, but in Seattle or SF, you can find them on store shelves, too.

The JFTC already proved this in a Japanese court of law.

If I had mod points, you'd get another funny. That's probably a reference a dwindling portion of the Slashdot crowd knows...

Do note that it uses several watts less than a GeForce 6800.

...as was included in the Japanese surrender offer originally.

So, basically, you're saying that civilians are to blame for military action? Sounds an awful lot like Afghanistan/Iraq right now.

Well, he's wrong, but so are you.

A lot more - in some cases, 2x as efficient. The Pentium M at 2GHz is as fast as the 3.x P4s, if not faster - it's based on the P3 architecture.
You guarantee me? Got something riding on that guarantee? :)
Regardless, if you don't want it wasted, get out there and change who's in power.

Don't ask for roads, then. :)
Many users of BT are still quite unaffected by this simply because they use membership-based trackers.
I don't see that changing - as long as someone's accountable for the content (and can lose tracker privileges for bad content), I don't think it will.

Got a link? I'm pretty sure Sensenbrenner cut off discussion without a consensus.
Not that it's real Latin. It's the bioscientific gobbledygook that folks who aren't classically trained learn how to deal with. :)
