"...and that the nation that no longer produces ANYTHING will start losing high-paying manufacturing jobs (gee, kind of like what we've been doing for 40 years now?)."
5-10 years if talking about computing 15-25 years if talking about cars But 40 years? Lets see 2007-40 1967. The 1960s was a very busy time for the US on all fronts.
I think someone posted enough to outlast the daily mod points.
You don't think that NASA had hundreds (if not thousands) of test flights? Go back to the late '40s and '50s NASA, well the air force back then, did a lot of test flights both manned and unmanned.
You do realize that those tiles are put under a lot more fore then a tap during lift off and re-entry. A simple tap will not break them. Have ever actually seen these tiles? They are like 6 inches by 6 inches and vary in thickness from 1 to 5 inches thick (depending on location). The exact shape differs to contour to the shape of the shuttle and if that area has a door/hatch. Even the 1 inch thick tiles will not break from a simple tap. Hitting it with a hammer, yea they will break. A tap of the finger no way.
You can see one that is in a museum. There is a space shuttle in the air and space museum. Enterprise(?) it never was in space though.
Itanium was too early. People were running what 8 bit and 16 bit programs at that time. Then intel rolls out a 64 bit processor. If Intel had released the Itanium when 64 bit was becoming more main steam it would have done better. Itanium is big in the data center. HP has a whole line of Itanium based server.
BTW, most allergens collect on surfaces, they don't float around in the air. Pet dander is most notorious for this, but other allergens behave the same way.
Tell that to all the people who are allergic to what the trees and flowers drop/spit out every year. The stuff will drop out of the air at some point. I'd say that this stuff stays in the air for a while. The air isn't pollen free till about 5-6 miles out on the ocean from what I can tell. I say this cause that is the area that I can finally take a full breath and not sneeze/cough and my sinuses clear out around that area too.
Certain car companies do seem to have better AC then others. But it been proven over and over again that the R12 based AC was colder faster then the newer types. Also do the newer ones ever get the so cold they actually freeze and your AC air flow suffers? I have yet to hear of this happening. It is a bad thing. Real easy to fix. Turn off the AC for 5-10 minutes and it is all fixed. The older AC in cars were a lot colder then todays models. If your old enough to even remember the old cars AC you would know this. Anyone know if you can change the AC compressor to a bigger one in todays cars and get better AC? Back in '79 we had a mustang 4 banger with a town car AC compressor in it. Your soda never got warm with the AC running.
Also anyone notice that cars that are black in stock color seem to have better AC even in todays cars? I have owned/ridden in the same make model and year of 5 different types of cars and the b lack cars all had better AC. I wonder if they are set that way by design since black cars will heat up faster.
I hope your trying to be funny. Since I have seen sharks in the wild, at the water's surface upside down sunning themselves. Why they did this, I have no clue. But it was very hot, no wind, very calm no waves to speak of. They were belly up wiggling around. I was thinking of going in for a swim until I saw the sharks. 10 feet of water is over one's head so how different is 500 feet of water. Seeing those sharks cured me of wanting to jump in.
Try getting on a highway/freeway where everyone else is going 65+ MPH (don't have the KPH conversions right now) and you will care about how much acceleration the car you are in has. Unless you like causing accidents. You are (well should be) responsible for getting your car up to the speed limit as quickly and safely as possible.
There are speed up lanes most people I see go slow in the speed up lane, then stop at the end of it. Then they try to merge. This is not in rush hour!
I do see you point though. I have no need to have a car that does 120+ MPH. If the max speed of a car is 80 MPH, it is fast enough to get on the highway without me losing a few years on my life, and get good mileage (over 40 MPG would be great), and I can load my stuff when I travel I am fine with it.
Then explain why I just upgraded 25 macbook pros to 2GB ram. The upgrade stopped all the complaints about the laptop being slow. These were the 2.1 gig core 2 duo machines. 1 gig of RAM should be enough, but people like having 2 GB.
This article looks like it was written by a perl programmer. What to 'work' from home... check flexible working hour... check make sure perl is mentioned often... check higher better people for more money and you save money... check
I like the last one but it has to be justified. The programmer better be worth the 90, 100, 120K a year to be paid it.
How is a bridge collapse which was built long before microsoft even existed microsoft's fault? The other infrastructure computer systems are big iron based. Main frame, other big old Unix systems. Maybe some smaller *nix systems for non critical (email, file server) parts. I have never heard of windows server **** being installed in the power company's systems. Same with the phone systems. The main back end important systems are not windows based. The front end desktop and laptops may be windows but not the main servers. Microsoft would love to get their server stuff into the power companies and phone companies. It will not happen any time soon. A complete rewrite and total replacement would have to happen. It is cheaper to replace the old Unix server with a newer, smaller, faster Unix server then to replace the old Unix server and all the software with a windows server(s).
.."The last time I ever had Windows crash on me was back with 95! I felt that even 98 felt pretty sturdy installed over an NTFS partition (the fat32 was something else, and I'll admit that). Overall, though, I've never really had any issue at all with MS OSs and I've definitely been running my systems through their paces..."
Since when could one install win98 on an NTFS partition? Win98 didn't know what NTFS was. XP, Win2k, win NT 4, NT 3.5 (I forget about before that) knew what NTFS was. The View.. er Vista also knows but I thought that vista NTFS was slightly different from the other NTFS's out there.
I have some people (home computers not work) backing up to CD-RW and now DVD-RW. I had to switch only because they have more data then a single CD can hold. The backup works great. I have recovered their file without any issue. I am using the CD/DVD as a big floppy drive. The same can be done with an external USB/Firewire hard drive. Other then filling the CD this has worked without an error for the last 5 years. Other then breaking the disk once (the disk was stepped on while it (the disk) was on over a pen) No failures. Either very good luck or the 1000 writes is short? I don't care I always have them do the backup twice on two different dicks.
You didn't skip across the top for a bit then sink (or get sucked down) even though you were wearing a life jacket? That is what happens to me at 50+ MPH with water skiing, tubing (towed behind a boat) or the jet ski. You are not supposed to go that fast but it sure is fun, until you fall off and hit the water.
"...The difficulty would be proving intent. Selling a worm might not be illegal, but selling it knowing that it will be used for criminal actions almost certainly is...."
The same reasoning can be used on cars, guns, baseball (cricket(sp?) for you) bats. Is anyone 100% certain that someone will buy something and only use it for legal purposes? Not everyone is going to buy a baseball bat and use it to beat up/kill people with. Everyone should sign forms stating the uses of before they buy?
There are a lot of things that can be used for legal and illegal things. It all depends on the person using it. Can you tell who is and who is not a criminal by looking at them?
Point 1 is a total lie. Can't turn the car off? Then the GM fuel cell cars that were given out to people for real world tests were complete made up. The Harvard Business School articles written about these fuel cell cars were also made up.
As for the costs, those are right on. The infrastructure not being able to support it without a total overhaul also right on.
But can't turn the car off, just quit making stuff up.
not built in but the ipod does have an add on that records voice. Italk(?) if I remember right. I lot of people got it for recording meetings. The ipod's (30 gig or bigger) drive records all of the meeting in a single file. As for the the FM receiver, I don't know about that, if yo really wanted FM there are a lot of other brands that already do that. But those are add ons, I have yet to see any of this built in. Apple even made the AC charger an add on now. Which it should come with.
Now if only Itunes would do a search without wanting my cc number.
I recovered music files off of an ipod (the computer's hard drive crashed) I got all the songs off. They are playable, but all the tag into (artist,title,album) is blank or wrong. Itunes wants me to sign in to their music store which I need to give them my cc number in order to do. Then I may be able to fill in the missing track info. These songs were ripped off of CDs not bought off of Itunes.
I used mucic match jukebox to recover all the missing info. Granted on the multi artist CDs it didn't get all the info correct but fixing 1-2% of the tracks is a lot better then re-ripping all the CDs.
IT was only 3200 songs.
It does have a service, stop and disable the service. Microsoft says it cannot be turned off. If the service is off, then it can't run. That looks like off to me.
The service is called Windows Search. Stop it, disable it. Windows indexer no longer runs. As for uninstalling it, I am still looking for the 'correct' way to do that. Deleting the reg key would remove it, but I am not sure that is the correct way. But you can stop the windows search from running. There is nothing microsoft can do to stop people from doing that. Maybe google's install should stop and disable that one service?
