They mean layers of nano particles. Kind of like layers of paint if your paint was spread to the nearest nanometer. Since the particles are so small the dust and water can easily permeate now to the level were the proper layer will practically 'wipe' away the debris.
Pardon me but it seems like the point about the Lenovo machine not running OS X is bad on Apple's part. Lack of portability is a major problem if you are planning to upgrade your machine. What happens when we get tired of using apple hardware? I like to keep my choices open. This is going to start to take away our choice of hardware. Slowly the selection we expect from New Egg or TigerDirect is going to get smaller. No more OCZ, EVGA, AMD, and other non-Apple choice hardware. This is part of the reason why Apple isn't as big as Microsoft. Some may say why not Linux? Because no matter how good Linux is it isn't mainstream. It will always stay independent. So in part we need people to keep buying Lenovo, Dell, and IBM. So they can keep a good variety in the market. As far as I can tell that is the only way we can keep from losing the creativity brought to the table. Nobody understands that variety is what made computers what they are today. Do people really believe Apple would be so good without that independent thinking? God save the PC! F*$k Macintosh
I only can imagine the IQ of the mathematician presenting a square circle. If he only had known that calculus tries to do something similar with curves and rectangles. Of course, what was his purpose? Was he just trying to simplify finding areas of circles? Is (pi)r^2 that complex?
Don't worry they are. Even in Guam. Of course, isn't 'enforce' something only the government can do? These copyright laws are giving people the right to make their own laws. Last time I checked the constitution calls for the congress to make laws. Sounds like we are heading toward some sort of chaos.
Funny? Ha Ha. I really cant see how a rant could be funny. Macs are all and well but they are still one problem. They are still, above all else, not very portable (without hacking, not portable at all). As soon as this happens I feel your comment will be extremely relevant. But until I can buy OSX off the shelf and use it with a standard BIOS, use with my Logitech gadgets, and upgrade my memory with what my mainboard can handle, use any standard cabling I want, any sound card, any video card, any harddrive, any dvd burner/player, any case, and any PSU I want. Then I am not interested. Third party support is not especially a strength with OSX. I understand there are many work arounds but it just doesn't seem to function like it does on a Linux or Windows machine. Call me when I can use my Logitech Quickcam software on a Macintosh.
Lets just say I know someone who knows somebody who pirated Vista just 3 months after it's release;) They said it wasn't really all that hard. I think they mentioned something about The Pirate Bay or something or the other. They even say they get updates and the special windows things. I personally do not know the person but they seem fairly reliable. Seems that it isn't too hard to pirate. Besides why pirate when you could use open source or an older OS you already own?
Since there isn't a guideline for what a blogger does, they have no real way to organize. I am considered a blogger just for typing this idea. I do not understand why people keep trying to make free art regulated. Humans have been making free art since our beginning. Free art is not meant to have any organization beyond the constraints of the artist. It is probably the only known form of true anarchy. I feel that it is needed for a balance between it and mainstream. Unionizing bloggers is just plain silly. What if everybody with a personal diary had a union? This seems to show the fine line between a journalist and a blogger.
Calling the parent post a troll is down right wrong. Just because the poster is wrong or not does not make him/her a troll. Microsoft is just a company trying to compete. If Linux really had the balls to take on Microsoft, then Linux will figure a way how to compete. So far all competitors of Microsoft seem to just scatter when Microsoft comes along. Corporations are considered equal to a regular person. I personally would love to see linux or Apple show their teeth.
The picture on the website looks like a giant pokemon. But besides that I used to prescribe to popular science 7 years ago and I recalled an issue stating the same vision.
Why does media have anything to do with password security? Password security is so layer 6. Unless you mean physically going up and reseting the password. Which even the best Cisco routers and switches are open to. You dont even need to brute force attack the password. I would be more afraid of the encryption being cracked with wifi. Something everybody that uses wifi knows about. Heck when wifi first was available they figured that out.
My Axim does the pocket part and most of the formats mentioned plus wifi and blue tooth. And I love it. I have been using pdas for books for around 12 years now. (My first was a Palm Pilot by US robotics) The battery usually outlasts the book. (If it is a good book;) ) Sure it isn't as fancy as the readers made for just reading. But it is nice to have while traveling. Also it isn't that hard to change books into a good format. My favorite format is the Microsoft E-reader. Plus you do not need a light since it has an ultra bright backlight.
That is a debate that has gone on for too long. Of course space benefits commercial. Think of the money to be made in mining ore from other planets. That is thinking in long term though. Short term it is merely for trucking millionaires into space. Mid term it could mean big money for resort owners to be the first one to rent condominiums in space or even the moon. There are a lot of people who would line up for such things. Probably not practical minded people though.
NASA is like any other government organization. They are monitored closer than private companies. Profit can get in the way of science. Due to being always in the public eye they tend to be picked on. They have there successes and their failures. Their main purpose is extend our knowledge of a vast unknown. This sometimes includes Planet Earth. There is a lot of articles on this good and bad. But the main thing is that they are indeed a key investment for our future. I am not in a position to prioritize it above other expenditures. It certainly should be a high priority.
Unix is Unix and all the other OS's are the same. At a very simple definitive level all of today's OS's are based on the earlier UNIX systems. Its just like saying a ford f-150 and a chevy S-10 are based on the model-t ford. This for the most part is true since they run on engines that burn fuel to move it along the road and they are trucks. Simply put they both do the same 'basic' stuff. Evolution took over and made them different paths. But there foundations/bases will still remain until something unrelated comes along. Like a OS that can make your machine be able to think like you or me. For now though it is I/O for us all. This is especially true for linux and Macintosh.
This censorship thing is going to bite them in the ass eventually. I mean why use a diluted source, when you can get a pure source else where? Some of us may want to find malware in order to experiment with it in order to get a better understanding.
This problem's principle fault lies with Apple. But it seems that they are sitting on their asses because it seems to be a problem that has been around for awhile. So those websites that use quicktime should use flash player, media player, or realplayer. Heck I have gotten video lan to take care of them all but those who do not want the trouble should blame the stupid websites. As far as I am concerned about firefox not handling apple's screwup as well as the other browsers it is scary. Yet if quicktime is broken then even if you use the other browsers then it simply does not matter, you still have DoS.
If Microsoft really wants to impress anyone with a new release, then why not add the ability to think? I would love it if my computer had a personality of its own. Since their next release isn't any time soon this would probably work with future hardware. I notice that their wish list is about crap that should have been taken care of already.
Why doesnt Apple try and compete with Microsoft and just put OSX on the shelf? I mean there is obviously nothing to be afraid of. And unlike Linux, people (average joe) have heard of OSX. Infact, if they did this they might take half the market. Once people start seeing how useful OSX is on a pc they will want to try it on a Mac. The whole strategy of "my hardware is better than anything out there" is ridiculus. If anything that is the very reason why Microsoft is still around. A little competition might get Microsoft to get their head out of their ass and stop wasting time. But for the time being apple continues down the same path it has followed since the early 1980s. Sure I admit they have taken major steps along the way. Yet it seems the closer that they move toward opening their system to the standards (processors) set by linux (running mostly on the same processor for average users) and microsoft, the more market they seem to be gaining. Who really cares about product activation since you can always crack it to bypass it (illegaly, hehe!). And do you really mind going through a couple of more steps to install? If the OS is really all that great then you will only do it once. "Build it and they will come"
I agree. Why isn't there a torrent site for academic papers? Lack of interest? Hopefully I spur some interest. Besides the point, why not just link us to wikipedia instead?
The reason they are starting to do this is because the US government has just bought licenses to put it on their networks. The new Standard desktop Configuration (SDC) next month is going to be Vista. Microsoft figured that once they got the gov to use Vista they are now home free. Now it is only a matter of time for gov techies experienced with Vista to trickle into the civilian market. This is only a show of their new found confidence.
If you really want to know why we would like to go into space, then look at human history. Heck why don't you look at the history of any creature on our planet. Observe a dog as it explores a new house. Or even watch a baby as it goggles at the world it was just brought into. Sure we have machines to explore for us, but where is the excitement in that? Global warming is eminent. We should try to prevent it. But when it comes to exploration, space is the final frontier. Well not quite the final one, but a great one. I could also point out that if we can learn how to teraform other planets, we can help our own. Exploration is about inspiration, science, religion, origin and finality. Global warming is huge but exploration is beyond all imagination. Science fiction only perpetuates it.
1 out of 6 doesn't seem like much of the market to me. Seeing as it is a two man show, 1 out of 2 laptops would be more like it. Apple is finally catching up to it's competitor. That is because they are finally pricing competitively.
As long as it is better then radio, then it is fine with me. I listen to MP3s in my car with the stereo at a decent volume and it sounds better than radio. Before recording companies we had radio stations. Recording companies hate radio because they see it as possible profit. I say screw recording companies and go back to having artists go directly to the radio stations. Heck music has been with us for all our existence. Why are people so addicted to mass media? I mean do you think that shakespeare would have cared if someone copied his plays without his permissions? No. We will never be without art. The age of mainstream media was bound to come down eventually.
