The article really doesn't catch the point. Assuming that single plant keeps up production at the same rate, in 20 years there would be 20*430 MW = 8.6 GW of solar cells out there produced by the single factory. Once it's been around for the life of a solar cell, (lifetime)*430, would be the amount of in service solar power from the factory. The coal plant would still be 500 MW.

now is the .NET 3.0 MS was working on become 4.0?

I mean the features I've seen mentioned like the XQuery-ish syntax to query data structures. Will this still be part of 3.0 or is that slated for a later version no longer called 3.0
I like how my answer of "No" on the survey page equates to "No, it's an intrusion on our right to privacy." I know it isn't scientific at all and doesn't claim to be. But it seems to me like they are trying to use weaker language to the get the YES and then displaying it as if you agreed with the stronger language.
That said, I still would have voted "No, it's an intrusion on our right to privacy" and I'm sure the majority still would have agreed.
I'd like to know what utopia you live in where countries are not run by either politicians or dictators that make decisions based on their personal benefit and not necessarily the good of the citizens.
That said, the past few years we have been dealing with an increasingly aggressive leadership only interested in helping big businesses, christian morals, and themselves. The approval ratings that they get for doing their job are at some tiny percentage of the country as well as a president witha an approval rating at 30ish percent. A lot of these leaders are up for re-election in november, and I hope that many of them will be replaced.
but from that list of classes, the one that tends to weed out most people that needed to be weeded out is intro to programming. My undergrad school taught Java as the introductory class shrunk and it shrunk from 300 to 50 people over the course of the semester. There was no very advanced programming in it. Selection sort of an array was probably the most difficult thing we had to do.
The math kills people too and can definitely serve as a weed out course, but the majority of the weed out comes from programming being harder than navigating the DOS shell....at least from what I've seen
I work at home too, and tend to leave spike on while I'm working. It actualy got so bad that I stopped watching spike for a few days. The commercial doesn't even make sense. We finally caught on to the other disgusting fast food companies and decided to provide you with pretend healthy meals like chicken. So to promote that, let's make a commercial with a guy riding a chicken like and singing about a big "bucking" chicken. Why is there a big hucking chicken and what does that have to do with eating one. The only other thing I've heard of that is bucking is a bronco and we don't eat them, so should we eat the bucking chicken. This commercial makes no sense, but for some reaon they think people that watch spike will be affected by it so much that it actually is on every single commercial break. The only positive is that it's slightly less terrifying than the creepy guy with the mask holding burgers. Fuck you burger king and fuck you fucking bucking chicken
Is this a one time activation? Or is it an every time you start the computer kind of thing? If it's one time, is this really that different from the current activation of XP? If it's not, what if a user wanted Aero while not connected to the internet?
I suspect the answers are Yes, No, Not really, and not an issue because answer to #2, but I the article really had no worthwhile information in it.
Ok. You are right. I overreached. But there still is a large amount of deeply religious people that don't walk in lock step with Bush even if they didn't come out in droves to speak out against every misuse of their religion. The point I was trying to make is that if you go by what we see on the news, every religious person is insane, but that really isn't the case. It's like Cindy Sheehan being assumed by pro-war people to be an influential spokesperson for the anti-war movement. No. She's an embarassment, but to a lot of people she is exactly what they see when they think about opposition to the war.
Very well put, and I hope that when grandparent said "religious people" he meant specifically the ones that you disagree with and not all religious people. The problem is that for most unreligious people the only daily exposure to religion is some use of religion to justify denying of rights or to gain political ground. An explanation with the word God in it will never be a good enough reason for an unreligious person to change their viewpoint on an issue. I think you would agree with that although may want to try to convince the unreligious person why they might be wrong on said issue. The problem is that the 1% of religious people that abuse their religion for an agenda constitute 99% of many people's exposure to religious people. "religious" people are in the news every day, usually trying to impose something on non-religious people. Actual religious people that have a real respect for their religion and others are the majority but we don't really see them in the public spotlight
I'm pretty sure that 3d effect is for alt-tab and not grouped windows. Your sisters probably would never see it because they probably don't know many keyboard shortcuts.
Just because people won't instantly adjust doesn't make something necessarily less usable, just different. There are some features(like that 3d effect although a 2d version like in one of the powertoys would be as good) that migth confuse people at first but help them use the OS. Your sisters would probably have as much trouble switching to OSX or some Linux.
I haven't used Vista so I can't really say if it is more usable, but things like grouped windows(like in XP) and previews of windows in alt-tab sound like things that would help me use the OS.
Relativity is just a buzz word to get people to read the article. This has no implications related to relativity except for the fact that you would probably have to be in space to go fast enough for fun relativity stuff to happen on a pereptible scale. Near speed of light travel is not anti-aging. It is forward time travel. Accelerated aging is a consequence of exposure to radiation and has nothing to do with relativity.
So yeah try to do things that will help parents with the things that are actually out of their control. Not things that are, like whether or not their child is allowed to have Doom 3. If the parent really can't prevent their child from owning a video game they object to, then there is probably a more serious issue they should be working on. There are plenty of things that Hillary could be spending her time doing to help parents raise their children that would be much better ways of spending 90 million dollars and do a hell of a lot more good.
It seems much higher than what I've been hearing, although I really have not much to make judgment from. The people I know that have just graduated and taken jobs in the NJ/NYC area were probably more in the 50k range(but they weren't the greatest programmers). I'm close to halfway done with an MS program so I don't really have any firsthand experience with it(I was able to get a part time job, where the hourly rate equates to about 10k less than your number if it were 40hrs/week).
If you're only using one program not designed for multithreading, you would see no benefit. If I understand correctly, running two cpu intensive programs at once, you would see a benefit.
...At least not for the average googler(of course it is a privacy issue for google itself) The government is not asking for records of who searched for what. All they want is statistics on behavior of googlers as a whole with no identifying information.
That said, Google's real argument is that this puts on undue burden on them, the government has no reason to expect that this data is at all useful, this data, by the govenrment's admission, is not ment to be used as evidence, and that this data could be used to discover trade secrets.
Most people seem to be complaining that this is very bad because it violates their own privacy. It seems like it's very bad moreso because the government is abusing its power to force Google to give it information that may hurt its business most likely in order to use shotty science to further its religious conservative agenda.
The difference though is that you won't have to pay for each different distro of linux(at least for most), but if you choose the wrong windows, it'll probably cost you more to upgrade than it would have to buy the right version, or you'll buy overkill and have spent more than you needed to.
Depending on the features though I'd imagine 2 or 3 of the versions will account for most of the sales.
Funny. I thought talking about crimes wasn't illegal in this country. There have been what I think is legal information about how to do things that are completely illegal for as long as I can remember. While you should never act on this information, it is only information.
While The Anarchist Cookbook is legally available in the United States, it is unlawful in many other countries. The information contained in the book includes instructions that, if followed, may be against the law (see felony for more details). Anarchist Cookbook
That actually does seem reasonable. IIRC, Moore's law doesn't say that computers will double in speed every 18 months; It says that the number of components on a chip produced at minimum cost will double every 18 months. I'd imagine double the amount of cores takes about double the amount of components(but likely a little bit more), so Moore's law probably does work for that. If computers get twice as fast is more subjective and depends on how programs are written.

They're selling a download/streaming/DVD version for a fair price for all three combined. But you're still only getting one movie. gee thanks.
