An accident waiting to happen can be applied to anything sharp, hard, fast, heavy, chemicial, high voltage or high current or controlled by a human. What a stupid riposte to a cool new technology.
The dangers of this have aready been taken into consideration, being a lot of safeguards and cut offs that fail safe. Your response has been used against anything possibly dangerous that has ever existed or been created. You must be a conservative.
A microsoft product, not tested properly, telling you a more expensive version is better, and with little common sense, designed for hardware that microsoft didnt design?
So, its a standard microsoft product then right? This isnt actually news.
Wait, can anyone tell me WHY anyone would want to get new features and upgrade word processing software? What possible new features could there be to make it worth paying for software on a monthly basis, unless its in its current form broken or unusuable? If its broken and unusable, it should be fixed for free, since you have already paid for it once. I cant think for the life of me what i would need a new version of office for. Hell I was still using office 2003 until 3 years ago. The only reason to upgrade would be due to planned obsolescence.. oh MICROSOFT.
Sorry. Dunno what i was thinking. This is a company that replaces a start menu with something that's not a start menu because.. well i dunno honestly. Did ANYONE say "I wish the start menu was the size of my entire screen, and as a bonus, open all of my apps in huge fonts and large formats for a touch screen and thus not actually be a start menu at all."
I have been using windows since 3.11.
I remember in the days when you could change your background colour in an explorer window. Try doing that now. It seems microsoft has been innovating by making the software harder to customize to your needs, harder to use, and thus.. oh of course.
MICROSOFT
I keep getting away from myself here. Microsoft needs to listen to its customers for once. I own a small business, and to me, customers are PURE GOLD.
No, the anode matrix has the physical dimensions designed to store the lithium at its maximum size. This limitation of the anode matrix is why its incredibly dangerous to overcharge a lithium based battery, as once the anode matrix is full of lithium, it has nowhere else to go, hence.. boom.
This technology is special in that its allowing a much greater growth in the size of the stored particles, while still maintaining electrical contact during discharge, and allowing the full particle size when charging. The anode matrix itself is just designed to hold the lithium compounts while maintaining electrical contact, and yet stopping the anode and cathode from shorting together which once again ends in boom.
Thats the issue with lithium technology, charge too fast, boom, discharge too fast, boom, charge to long, boom. Pretty well do exactly what it says it can do, otherwise, boom.
Hate to be that guy, but reversing the wiring on a pool electrolysis cell does NOTHING apart from clean the carbon grids.
Yes, pool stores are all in on the "you need a new grid" or charging you lots of dollars to clean it when deposits build up on it.
Just reverse the polarity. Hell, some controllers even use a special expensive super amazing automatic clean mode which does....... you guessed it, reverses the voltage every now and then.
This is salt water pools by the way. There is nothing else on any other kind of pool to rewire backwards. Hooking up ac to the grid directly will just explode it, and you, on the spot.
Oh i find it intrinsically interesting. I was just wondering if it had any real world implications, which as i have read other people's comments, was noted as to the accuracy of dating methods. Thats all. Science IS cool, i just wanted to know if this actually had any significance, or just one of those cool but non significant things science brings around ya know.
Drive by wire, stop it! I just bought a brand new new car, its a hyundai Tiburon. There is this nice braided stainless steel cable between my throttle body and my foot. This is a brand new 2009 model sports car.
I lift my foot, car slows down. There is your solution.
step 1:profit.
wheres my freaking profit dammit! Its a recipe for disaster using pure electronics to control the speed of an engine. In a device that often weighs over a ton, that can cause massive and greivous bodily damage. Resistors fail. Motors lock up. Drive MOSFETs get latched on, wires short circuit, capacitors short circuit or explode.
To be honest, i also wonder why these people dont work out to turn the damn ignition off, put the car in neutral, and push on their brakes with all their might. I understand that vacuum assist brakes dont work well when you have a wide open throttle, but they still work.
As i understand, there is NO physical device that prevents someone from turning the damn ignition off!!!
The higher end dreytek business modems support at least two aggregate DSL links.
The real question is, do you want a wider pipe, or a faster pipe. One is easy, the other not so easy.
Bigger trucks in your tubes, or faster trucks in your tubes:)
(sorry couldnt resist that analogy)
Pulling over 70 megabytes a second using a 90 AUD motherboard, with a 80 AUD amd cpu and using silicon image sata cards with 1tb WD green caviar hard drives, and running windows 2003 standard. Now you dont have to run 2003, Solaris would be your next best bet for the beauty that is ZFS, or just run something along the lines of freenas. If the os doesnt like the onboard nic (atheros L1 in my case) you can get a PCI-E intel gigabit desktop card for 70 AUD, which should run just beautifully.
Like everone said, if you want speed, dont even bother with the small nas products. Its just not going to happen. In your application you need a real proper server, and a non embedded OS.
If Microsoft spent all this money and time on DRM and Anti Piracy on actually improving the OS, making it quicker, more stable, and more usable, there wouldn't be such a market for Piracy. Increase the quality, drop the price a little, and I'm sure piracy would drop. There will ALWAYS be piracy however, just as there will always be spam, and theft. If you give ANYTHING a value, at least some humans out there will try and get it for free.
Hell, maybe make a totally cut down version of vista thats 20-30 dollars, remove all but the basic features, allow users to get an OS on to their machine that doesnt cost an arm and a leg, and if they do need or want the extra things, pay for it. Thats a business model that definately works. Look at cable tv.
Oh and another thing, what the hell is up with the DRM. If i buy an OS I want to be able to do what I want. If i get caught, i face the repercussions. Its not up to the OS manufacturer to impose third party restrictions on what YOU do with YOUR time. That is another subject for another time, and one of the reasons I won't be getting vista. I currently use windows 2003 server on my work PC, and it works, and works very well. No need to change.

News would be if it worked and worked well.
so who are you paying to pick what's acceptable in this modern world?
define.. unacceptable.
and then. filter it.
do you filter on keyword?
or not, what else?

I think his most commonly repeated word is "peculiarly" and "curiously"
Yea i know. I treat it as a bit less serious, light reading.
Stephen Donaldson is pretty well the direct opposite, and of course the late Robert Jordan.
A bit basic by modern standards, but any of David Eddings writings are classic reading.
Modern sci-fi standards, i would recommend Neal Asher.

I hate to be THAT person, but what does this mean for us normal humans? Does it mean anything at all?
This is why old people die, not because they are old, its because they sit down all the time!
Get up Grandma!
Norton and Internet Explorer.... hahahaha
hahaha
I thought computer savvy users stopped using BOTH of those programs years ago.
now you did it.
Nice work.
The secret is out now.
You can always turn it to off, then back to acc.
I guess these people just panic and lock up. Needs more driver ed!
Drive by wire, stop it!
