If you had RTFA you would had read that this is not new. The site off the cost of DE has had subway cars for about 10 years now. With an increasing number of people going their every year. And the subway cars are just the shell, no seats, no plastics, no oils, no wiring just the main metal of the car.
That is because the tires are causing more hard then good. The subway cars allow more natural things to grow on them and hide in them. And the subway cars will go away over time leaving the natural stuff behind. Virginia has been doing this for what 5-8 years now? It does work to bring more fish to the area. The summer flounder numbers were way up (along with black sea bass, and others) until the commercial guys dragged their nets through the reef locations. These artificial reef locations are off limits to commercial fishing it is posted on all the charts. So, they just dumped a bunch of tanks off the cost as well.
They used tanks since the commercial fishing guys were dragging their nets all through the subway cars and other off limit (for commercial fishing) places. They lose more gear on the tanks and will hopefully stop 'fishing' there.
If the iphone in question cannot be used as a phone and it cannot be used as an music player that would be 'bricked' to most people who got it to use as a phone and music player. Considering the support thread (linked in the summary) people are saying they have a pink screen and an unusable device, I would call that bricked.
I remember back in college (1992) I bought a box of 10 floppy disks. All 10 were infected (with ripper I think). I wrote to the disk company letting them know the numbers that were on the box. About three weeks later I got a huge box. It had over 1000 brand new floppies and a letter thanking me for letting them know about that issue. Also was an apology for getting infected disks. I didn't have to buy floppy disks for years.
Even in countries where own guns is against the law if you search you will find many many people owning guns. Only those with nothing to hide will obey the law. Those who not follow that law will have the guns regardless. So which would you rather have: A society where only the criminals have guns or one where the criminal and law aboding people also have them. Most people will not go around with their guns demanding stuff from others if those other people may have also have a gun to point back at them.
For computer programmers/geeks recompiling is not an issue. We know how/where to go look for and get a compiler. Do you think the average joe is going to know what a compiler is? They want to install and go. They do not want to compile, wait they need to get the compiler first if it is not there. You cannot assume that everyone will know how to get the extra steps needed to get the job done. Getting the compiler, compiling the program, making the executable are steps that the average joe has no idea about. Running the program, that they know. Yes apt-get/yum/package manager does a lot of this already which is great. But for things not in those lists the average joe will have a hard. And that will be a strike against the average joe using linux and a plus for apple/windows.
According to Intel a core is part of a processor (the core 2 duo having two single core processors). So microsoft will be paying in processors which India will need to run vista. I am hoping that microsoft will pay using Intel or AMD and not VIA chips though...
I thought heat spreaders area good idea even for those that do not over clock at all? Most of the DDR2 memory that is available has heat spreaders on them. There are some without the heat spreaders, but most do have them on. Isn't getting rid of the heat in a computer a good thing?
RDRAM is/was way over priced. 2GB of RDRAM cost more then a whole new computer with 2GB of DDR2 memory. And that was when 2GB of DDr2 cost like $400. I have to look up the RDRAM prices now. We decided to replace all the RDRAM RAM computers. Upgrading just the RAM wasn't worth it when you could replace the entire computer for less with a faster one.
I have found that when I am dating someone, there are a lot more females that are interested. When I am single those very same people may give mt the time of day but that is about it. I asked a few to see if I was reading their signals wrong. They said I wasn't. When I was dating someone they wanted to know if they could 'get' me. When I am single they know they can 'get' me. They wanted the challenge of taking me away from another woman. I was shocked, surprised, and confused all at the same time at that. They did give me bonus points for not cheating.
As a programmer you should clearly state what assumptions and dependencies your code has. If you can't then you are a crappy programmer. If you are assuming that file abc.123 is going to be already on a computer then state so in your documentation.
My first vista machine was using a nvidia agp 128mb 5200FX. An old card. It worked never had crashes or stability issues. Also never gamed in vista on it. This was at work so no gaming. Alli was trying to do was to see what all the fuss was about. Shiny stuff in windows, and you got a second way to switch between running apps. Oh, and a few new screen savers. Vista is still XP with a face left to me. The only other thing is old apps do not run. Newer things work, jus the old stuff (pre year 2000 for us anyway) has issues.
You have never lived or dealt with a flood (from a river not a leaking house water pipe). You can pump all the water out possible but if you do not fix where the water is getting in, you will be pumping that water out for ever. In this case the levees were broken and needed to be fixed before the water could be pumped out. Getting in there and fixing the pumps only to have them run 24/7 making no headway until the levees were fixed is a bad idea. Remember that NO is below sea level. One must fix the levees/dikes to keep the water back before you can pump out the water.
Most cities below sea level are supposed to have a plan in place for disasters. Do you think that Holland ha no plan in case a disk starts to leak or it breaks? The biggest mistake the federal government made was not inspecting things on its own. Then informing NO (or any other city or state) that it has to fix/repair/upgrade the levee/bridge/dam/etc. Or no federal money for you until you do. That would actually give those states incentive to keep it's infer structure in good working order.
If you spend the money you can also make your servers have a 100% uptime guarantee as well. Hardware wise anyway. The OS/applications are a different story. Most *nix based should be doable. windows based, different story. I am hoping to actually to be able to a full windows update without a reboot someday. Unless the kernel changed, there should be no reason to reboot the machine. Take down an app, sure if there was an update to that app. But not the whole machine.
The wrong network card driver WHQL approved or not is still the wrong network card driver. Also did you check to see if the speed was correct for your network? I have been at places where either the computers nics were set to auto detect or the switches were set to auto detect but not both. If both were set on auto detect speed issues happened all day long. I didn't control the switches and hubs but that is the way it was. So finally got the network guys to set the speed on the switches and hubs and let the PCs use auto detect. Worked out better that way. They couldn't complain that we were using too much bandwidth that way.
In short check your drivers then check what your network thinks the speed is. maybe manually setting the speed on the PCs or hubs/switches would help. They make a 2GB network? I have seen 1GB never 2GB. Or is 1GB full duplex == 2GB?
Just remember to unplug the hard drive first. Just in case you click the install icon. Had this happen when I was letting a friend try out a distro. They called me after they had accepted,committed, and formatted the hard drive.

Here is another article: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980CE7DA153EF93BA15757C0A9649C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all Where they actually say what they do to the cars.

... There are many copies. And they have a plan.
If we do find a planet there that is earth like. If we could get there. Should we go there and take it over?

If their are slugs, just use salt. It is cheaper, easier, and safer then bullets....

And as of yet no comment from Twitter. I was hoping for some comment from him (or her?) in this thread.
As for the tech though, is this any more/less useful then the other ones out there? Or like most, it is better for some while not for others?
Send them the money in loose pennies.

I think chastity belts are still being made. Need to make sure you have the only key and you can't go to jail for putting one on her.
But you have a point. She may marry you for the child raising part but your DNA might not be in the child.

China then. Unless you have the kids elsewhere then move to China.

I hope you mean 15 Gig of RAM. Since even most video cards sold today have over 15 MB of RAM on them.

So now we can say: That's no moon... It a moon with a space station...
