My guess would be that Mommy is letting the TV raise her kid and this baby has spent more time watching McD commercials than it has being read to by its parents.
Yeah, but the benefit of the frequencies that are being sold off is that they work at much longer ranges than the current wireless. I am thinking that the cost in implimenting might drop a bit if you only need, say a fifth or a tenth as many base stations to cover the same amout of area.
Careful there. Yes, they have done better than some predicted, but it is easy to confuse lack of supply for evidence of high demand. Until Microsoft can produce enough to satisfy the orders from the retailers we will not be able to judge the true demand for it.
Yeah, but you are missing the key element. It is easy to get away with stealing software, so there is an expectation from some people that software should be free. Some of this gets serviced by OSS, and some by other means.
Stealing hardware on the other hand is a slightly more... risky proposition. If there was a way for the average person to easily steal hardware, you can bet there would be a community that would get up in arms at those manufacturers who still had the nerve to charge for their product.
Yeah, but the flip side of that is that if all those ISPs and bloatware companies hadn't paid to have their stuff on there (which they would not if it came on a DVD instead of pre-installed), that $1500 would have cost you $1600 or more.
I would have to disagree. As a student in the University of Lethbridge's BFA:New Media program, drawing skills are EXTREMLY important. Not necessarily for the ability to draw, but the skills that drawing teaches you. Drawing and traditional fine art teach critical ways of looking at things, understanding shapes, perspective, vision, colour. There is a reason that many CG Animation companies including Pixar prefer to take traditional animators and teach them computer skills than to take computer artists and teach them animation skills. Frankly, a program that teaches art skills is what separates the REAL programs from the expensive-piece-of-paper ones.
See, when someone posts a problem with a company using their user name, and then someone else says "no, that company has wonderful service", but does it as an Anonymous Coward, I have to say that I am always goign to go with the first poster.
It is easy to say that Sony's library is the biggest, but what does that mean when the games are not available to play? Let's say that you want to make use of that library, is Sony making all those games available online? Is there anywhere you can buy even a fraction of Sony's catalogue? And when I say buy, I mean go out and find a specific title that you remember fondly, not hunt through a bargain bin for some random junk.
The whole Sony catalogue is a false argument. Yes, it is compatible, but no, it is not available. Nintendo is making a huge chunk of their legacy library available for the Revolution, and that is a whole other thing.
If I could get any part of my body to fluoresce for any reason, I would happily co-operate with researchers... in exchange for a nice piece of the research grant that they get to study me. Nothing says that a test subject has to do it for free.
My guess is that there is going to be a performance slider in the options. Let you scale up the range at the cost of power, much the same way that you can scale the brighness of the screen. That way, if you are using yout Laptop or PPC or whatever plugged in, take full advantage of it. On the road and trying to connect to things like keyboards and mice and such within a meter or two, you have no need for the massive range.
And, you know that nice thing called 'fertilizer' that gets put on all the veggies that you buy at the supermarket? A lot of that came in bags marked 'manure'.
And for your piece of mind, I seriously suggest that you don't look that one up in the dictionary.
And then you have to add in the fact that 90% of the vegies that show up in our supermarkets are produced by people who live in conditions not a lot differnt than the pigs. Sugar cane, banannas, coffee, oranges, potatoes. Anything that gets shipped in from Mexico or further south can be assumed to be the next thing to slave labour more often than not. So, pick your suffering.
That is part of the point of the argument. It makes that whole question moot. If you can accept that god created everything as as a 'work in progress' as it were, then the question of when it was actually created becomes an acidemic one, with no importance to either the scientific or religious comunity.
Don't look now, but I think the French just preemptively surrendered. This was shortly before the Italians announced their adoption of the new method. Which was shortly followed by their switch back to the Western standards.
It is not that someone might want a tag unclosed, but if I have forgotten to close a tag, I would rather have it not implemented, and it be an obvious mistake that I can then go back and correct, than to have the program close the tag in a place I might not want, where it could come back to bite me if I don't spot it.
Oh, yeah. 8 GB is common. Part of it is why not? Even if you could get away with 4 or 6 GB, if you are building the type of workstation that would use this chip, bringing the ram up to 8GB is a drop in the bucket as far as money goes. Even EEC 1 and 2 GB sticks of ram is cheap compared to what this card will run.
Heh, i ahve no worries on this score. Apparently there is someone in the NBA who shares the same name as me, so if anyone wants to search through 500 pages of sports stats to find anything on me, they are welcome to.
Um, because at some point, SOMEONE has to make the houses, grow the food, mine the metal, assembal the computer. Not to mention the people who sell the above to other people.
I think that we should explore anywhere and everywhere. We still know so little about anywhere in out solar system that any single mission is going to bring huge returns, regardless of where it goes. Frankly, if there was real investment in knowledge going on (or any real long term interest in science and research), there should be at least one mission heading to every piece of rock in the solar system large enough to be considered a moon. Part of that is that we would find out all sorts interesting things about them, and get sent back millions of desktop worthy pictures, but mostly because the biggest jumps in our technology have always come when we were trying to achieve things beyond what we had any right to expect. Many business and government leaders like to continentally forget that their products are built on the side benefits of major projects that came from areas like cold war weapons research or the space race (arguably two sides of the same coin, but that is something else), and there lies the real benefit of these missions.
Yeah, Spirit and Opportunity have let us learned a lot about Mars, but how much have we learned about remote robotics, operating machines under extreme conditions, and low maintenance designs? Personally, I think the later are the best reasons to be on Mars.

The difference? Google can afford a more lawyers than could fit into the court room. The Pirate Bay is using a law STUDENT as its legal council. This is why even if TPB goes down, Google never will.
I believe what you were looking for is 'fascist ideal' Ironically, despite the historic results of communism, socialism is really about the lack of government controls. It is fascism that promotes control from the top.
Exactly. Does this matter? No, not if you are talking human rights type of 'does it matter', but as far as being able to make distinctions based on genetic information, it is signifigant.
Yeah, but half the idea with the open source movement is that ANYONE can write code for it. Are you going to suggest a test that says who is qualified to contribute to OS software? Personally, there is something to be said for software driven by a closed organization which can control the quality of its employees. I shudder to think how common minor slip-ups like this are in OS software that is less scrutinized than the major packages are.

On the other hand, they are also sueing every computer owner they can get their hands on. The RIAA is nothing if not consistant.

Assuming they work? My guess is render farm
