On Windows, you just throw in the disk, click ok, and your hardware is working.
Unless you're running Vista x64, have 4GB or more of memory, and are trying to install the drivers for a TV tuner. Doesn't matter which manufacturer, they all would tend to fuck up under such conditions. I gave up trying to get TV tuners to work on my rig after wasting close to $250 on various models cuz I found only one commonality amongst them: they don't fucking work.
FWIW, I've had no problem with this tuner under Windows 7 RC1 x64 and 6GB, although I didn't try using the driver from Asus, the one bundled with Windows just works.
In 2005, a systematic review looked at the results of 31 experiments testing the role of electromagnetic fields in causing ES. Each of these experiments exposed people who reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity to genuine and sham electromagnetic fields under single- or double-blind conditions.[1] The review concluded that:
"The symptoms described by 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity' sufferers can be severe and are sometimes disabling. However, it has proved difficult to show under blind conditions that exposure to electromagnetic fields can trigger these symptoms. This suggests that 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity' is unrelated to the presence of electromagnetic fields, although more research into this phenomenon is required."
Seven studies were found which did report an association, while 24 could not find any association with electromagnetic fields. However, of the seven positive studies, two could not be replicated even by the original authors, three had serious methodological shortcomings, and the final two presented contradictory results. Since then, several more double-blind experiments have been published, each of which has suggested that people who report electromagnetic hypersensitivity are unable to detect the presence of electromagnetic fields and are as likely to report ill health following a sham exposure, as they are following exposure to genuine electromagnetic fields.
I currently run Windows XP and Debian with KDE 4.2.4 and I love them all. Could someone tell me why I should care about Windows 7? Heck...the need for its activation too keeps me far from even trying it out.
Because you don't need to activate XP? Besides, you don't have to activate Windows 7 if you want to try it out...
And testicle count. A common misconception is that human males only have two, when they actually have three. This is because the center testicle is hidden in a fold of scrotum between the other two. Women who are interested should check this out with their husbands and boyfriends tonight.
It is worth noting that researchers could generate IVD sperm only from male embryos; when they tried using stem cells from a female embryo, they were unable to get sperm to mature past the spermatogonial stage. That suggests that genes located on the Y chromosome, which female cells do not contain, may be essential for triggering the maturation of the primitive sperm cell.
The other option is that it Voynich manuscript is nonsense. It could very well be the work of an insane illetrate man (or woman) who wanted to write a book and did.
Is that decent by the standards of a native speaker or decent by French standards? I've worked with quite a few French people whose English was pretty poor. At least it gave me a chance to practive my terrible French.
It depends on when they graduated and from which school. For me, the requirement was 550 points on the paper based TOEFL.
In those countries (France and French-speaking excepted), it is necessary to have some level of English in order to become qualified for any high-tech job.
That's bullshit, you won't find any high tech job in France if you don't speak English. You won't even graduate from any engineering school without a decent English.
A bit off-topic, but I've always wondered why infrared is the only spectrum referred to as "heat energy".
Why is that? If an object absorbs UV radiation, will it not increase in temperature?
Why is it that "heat-sensor" is synonymous with "infrared sensor"?
Do ALL objects emit only infrared based on temperature?
For example, I know that metal will glow in visible spectrum when heated (e.g. the "burner" on an electric stove).
So is it something magical about IR or is it simply that a wide variety of objects just so happen (by coincidence) to have a high correspondence between IR radiation and temperature?
Does my question make any sense?
Actually the relationship between the wavelength and the temperature does not depend on the material. And for the "heat energy" thing, I guess it's because the black body radiation at room temperature is mostly infrared.
To be fair, the utterly stupid and ridiculous rules of engagement forced on US forces by the civilian leadership for most of the war prevented them from doing anything against those air defense sites except in reaction to being fired upon. It's kinda like fighting while handcuffed.
Handcuffed and tied to your bed. I've read that you couldn't fire on a SAM site at all unless you had visual confirmation that there were no russians at the site... Like, what's that rule...
That would be a don't-start-nuclear-war-with-the-soviets rule...
Skype is actively blocked here in EU by many ISPs, because some big telcos and their ISP branches decided that Skype is eating too much into their pie. Skype is notorious low bandwidth app so claims of bandwidth concerns etc. are ill-founded. Canada is showing some sense and those EU drones in Brussels should do something, a constitutional amendment perhaps ?
To have a constitutional amendment, we would first need to have a constitution...
The neutrino emissions from a supernova would be lethal to humans out to a light year or so. Really. Cross-section is ~10e-40 cm^2, average energy is 1 MeV-ish. You work it out.
Then it's a good thing the only star less than a light year or so away from us won't go supernova...

When you want to own a strip mall on the moon, America is where you go.
Shouldn't that be, "the moon is where you go"?

In other words, it seems that EU people might have to install vista first, then Windows 7.
The pre-order copies sold in Europe are full versions, not upgrades.
Erm, since when can one be a citizen of the EU?
Since 1992.
If your system hasn't been compromised, it doesn't matter. It would if the network points to a poisoned DNS cache.
SSL would detect that the server doesn't have a valid certificate.

Wow...Only on slashdot would people argue over what "how wide is a year" mean...
Or, 3. if they took stem cells from a lesbian, they could generate some sperm for her, thereby along her to impregnate her other female partner.
Actually no:
It is worth noting that researchers could generate IVD sperm only from male embryos; when they tried using stem cells from a female embryo, they were unable to get sperm to mature past the spermatogonial stage. That suggests that genes located on the Y chromosome, which female cells do not contain, may be essential for triggering the maturation of the primitive sperm cell.
What year did we invent the spacebar anyhow?
I guess the spacebar was invented around the same time as the keyboard... But the space was invented in the 7th century.
The other option is that it Voynich manuscript is nonsense. It could very well be the work of an insane illetrate man (or woman) who wanted to write a book and did.
Now that's ironic...

As far as I understand it, it still generates a beam, but it's not focused without the ground reflector...

German scientists were some of the best in the world..
Yep, and were a little to Jewish or otherwise and left Germany and then ended up in the Manhattan project. Define Irony.
The real irony would have been if Japanese scientists worked on the Manhattan project.
If their design is not robust enough to work with a 0.01% error, it will never reach orbit anyway...
Next time you should replace 4999 of those hours with a simple BASH script.
The original files were not available. What shell do you use that compiles to paper?

Meanwhile, the entire scientific world sighs at the gringos... again!
In aerospace, we're a pretty big part of the "entire" scientific world.
Ariane 5 has a market share of over 50% for commercial satellite launches.

Easy: an SSD will be more reliable, consume less power and have a much better acces time.
Hey, if sending water is so expensive, why not just make them drink their own pee?
That's pretty much what they do on the ISS...
