Yeah, it's like if you fall into a pit of spikes, and survive. You think wow, what are the chances that I would land exactly between the spikes? Well, if you hadn't you wouldn't be wondering about it.
Except that (as I understand it), the scammer is offering you money to break the law. If you get shot by security while trying to rob a bank, it's your fault. Same here.

Formerly known as 3GIO, PCI Express is the open standards- based successor to PCI and its variants for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. Unlike PCI and PCI-X, which are based on 32- and 64-bit parallel buses, PCI Express uses high-speed serial link technology similar to that found in Gigabit1 Ethernet, Serial ATA (SATA), and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS). PCI Express reflects an industry trend to replace legacy shared parallel buses with high-speed point-to-point serial buses.
10 PRINT If you send a byte one bit at a time, it's serial. It doesn't matter how many unrelated bits are being transmitted in parallel. It's still serial.
20 GOTO 10
But I guess it's time for us both to give up talking to our respective walls:)
Wrong! If you send a byte one bit at a time, it's serial. It doesn't matter how many bytes are being transmitted in parallel. It's still serial.
Wikipedia: Improved technology to ensure signal integrity and to transmit and receive at a sufficiently high speed per lane have made serial links competitive. The migration from PCI to PCI-Express is an example.
Arguing with me won't change the accepted working definition of the term.
Of course this is a useless project! Almost as useless as model airplanes and magic tricks and football and all of the other wonderfully useless things people do to amuse themselves. Don't care for it? Fine, but no need to insult it.
I think what GP's trying to say is that every time she lost sight of the teleprompter she degenerated into incoherent jibberish. That doesn't demonstrate the courage to speak one's mind, that demonstrates that she probably can't wipe her own ass without the help of a campaign aide.
You're confused because most protocols are a little of each philosophy. Gigabit ethernet uses one bidirectional serial link in which 4 wires are used to send one symbol. PCIe uses 1,2,4, 8 or 16 serial links. QPI uses 20 serial links.
Ob car analogy: Picture a 4 lane highway. Every clock you can send 4 regular cars (serial) or one four-lane-wide monster car (parallel). Queue the Hummer jokes.
I agree. You seem to get it, as opposed to the bizarrely extreme sides of this argument that either think all video games are good for everyone, or all video games are Satan. There's definitely a limit to what kids should be exposed to. Children aren't born with a complete sense of what's "normal". They learn what's normal by observation and by mimicry. I think kids are smart enough to equate cartoonish violence with play-violence and recognize that nobody really gets hurt. But letting them play violent games is in the same league as watching Maury or Days of our Lives or CSI or porn in front of your kid. They may or may not understand that it's fiction, but they'll still grow up with a sense that what they saw is normal behavior. They can be exposed to all that AFTER they know better.
Crosstalk and synchronization issues make parallel links impractical in the GHz range. There's a reason USB, PCI Express, HT/QPI, Ethernet are all serial and packet-based. The only major holdout is RAM, but I see it going serial eventually.
It's maintenance-free in the sense that he's never done any maintenance, and there haven't been any ill effects of said lack of maintenance.
I wouldn't want to run anything mission critical on Linux without patches, antivirus, fscks, etc. But on the desktop it pretty much just chugs along indefinitely without any help.
Oh, and she had never heard of netbooks before she saw my nerdy friend's Linux netbook and was all like zomg ponies!!! Alienate the nerds = lose sales.
Blackberrys and iPhones have way smaller screens and keyboards, and people seem to want them.
I'm not some kind of techno-elitist trying to force anyone to use Linux. What I'm getting at is that Linux isn't any harder than Windows anymore. It's just different. I have another friend, total computer noob, and he's much happier with Linux than he was with Windows, because he loves that it is completely maintenance-free. The difference was that he was willing to stick with it through a hurdle or two. Many people apparently aren't.
I still say it's absurd that they don't offer the same hardware with both OSes. Plenty of people will stick with Windows, but the people that don't want it shouldn't have to pay for it. And they'll never know what people really want if everybody's buying Windows and deleting it. They're in it to make a buck, but there's no need to be assholes about it.
This is absurd. Isn't the whole point of a netbook that it's small, light and efficient? Why would you get rid of the smallest model and the most efficient OS? This smells of a backdoor M$ deal. If they offered both OS's on the same hardware I'm sure the picture would be much different.
Rolling two stories into one post, my friend bought an Asus Aspire with linux. The other day she asked me what the NewEgg return policy was. It took me a while to pry it out of her that she couldn't get on her university's VPN in Linux. I installed the linux client for her. Point is, her first impulse was to return it rather than attempt the learning curve.
I think we can trust culture itself to keep the valuable stuff. Culture is evolutionary. Good memes (Romeo and Juliet) are repeated, lame memes (Paris Hilton's The Hottie and the Nottie) are weeded out by forgetfulness.
The problem lies in keeping the unimportant stuff. Nobody cares about your myspace, but if an archaeologist came across a 3000 year old obscenity on a bathroom wall, it would be the find of a lifetime.
Okay, let say the cops go into your house, take a picture of the room, do an MD5 of the picture. Tells them nothing about the room. It was still a search! You don't have to compare the hashes to anything, the process of compiling hashes is a search.
Maybe the part you're stumbling on is the cops don't have to collect any useful information at all for it to be an illegal search. Otherwise they could break in to your house whenever they felt like just to be dicks, or to intimidate, even if they didn't actually look around.
Here's a list of a room: 1) lamp. 2) table. 3) Book with title "how to blow up anything at any time". 4) 1/4 pound of C4.
How big is the room?
What color is the table?
Is the person who lives there a terrorist, or a licensed demolition contractor?
The list hash is ALSO one way. You can't reconstruct the room from the list, you can only create a room that hashes to the list given a large amount of time. And you STILL have to compare it to the database of illegal things, even if you do so mentally.
Here's a hash algorithm: Go into a room and write down everything you see. The list is now a hash of the room. It doesn't matter if you compare the list to a database of illegal things or not. A hash is a search.
Yeah, they basically pick the healthiest people on earth for space travel, mentally and physically. But I think a few years of space travel could drive anybody a little crazy.
As a depression patient I can say long-term space travel includes basically all the known triggers to depression - stress, isolation, sleep deprivation, lack of sunlight. And there's problem-solving steps you can do to migigate each of these.
The standard treatment for depression is medicine AND therapy. There might be room on board for a bottle of Lexapro but not for Counselor Troi. So that's the aspect they're working on. I don't see anything outdated about what they're doing.

Um obviously the spikes are designed to catch Sasquatch, who is 1.5 times the size of a normal human.

Why's it called serial then?

Ughh, it's like hurding cats! All the experts said, "It's broken, and here's how you fix it". So they scrap the whole thing? I don't get it.
