Seriously. AT&T store? What a fucking waste. Bump up the resolution and partner with PTC, AutoDesk, and SolidWorks. It would be the best thing for drafting/design since the electric eraser.
What? Most PvPers I have run into do not bother with some mamzie pamzie Turing test. They just kill you. If you complain about it, you were probably not a bot.
* I can send a letter to anyone in the world, instantaneously, for free. If you are looking for revolution in the past 50 years (hell, the last 10), this is it. This alone has fundamentally changed the way I do business. Heck, look at what we are doing now. I don't know where a single one of the people posting on this thread is physically located. And it doesn't matter where y'all are physically located. Yet we can have this conversation. That's pretty neat, IMHO.
I don't know for sure, but I think it has to do with the uplink costs. Plus, as the rovers age, they develop more and more faults that require more and more staff to work around. I would rather see them switch off and on each rover. Spirit for a year, Opportunity the next Martian year. Etc.
Or, conversely, don't have anything worth stealing. Seriously. Buy a briefcase (or backpack if you cannot stand the stigma) and put anything you own (and think might walk off) in it. Take it all home with you.
Though your point is good, #2 is worded a bit pretentiously.
#6 is even worse, and IMHO wrong. Use the tools you have. In my experience the RPN snobs are just that, snobs. They rarely experience the increased speed, accuracy, and utility that they claim.
For the record, I used my TI-36 till the battery died and my employer would not buy new batteries. Then I switched to a HP-48G I had rattling around (and runs on AAA batteries). After 6 months I did not notice enough of a difference to stick with it. Now, I hardly use calculators at all. I have a MathCad window open at all times, and it does more than any calculator ever could. In short, no one in the Real World(tm) gives a damn what kind of calculator you use.
I have my doubts about that 50mpg figure. The last 1L production vehicle I can recall was the '00 Chevy Metro. It got a combined 41mpg. Figuring that diesels tend to be more efficient than gas engines and hybrids further improve the efficiency, I find the 60mpg number a little more believable. However, since not even prototypes exist (to my knowledge) we are relying on what some PR flack may or may not remember during the briefing with the engineers.
OTOH, given all of the above I don't see where they are going to find another 40mpg of improved efficiency.

Of course it runs netBSD.
I'm not using mine. You want it?
No, but it will keep me from upgrading to FF3. The same way it prevented me from sticking with Safari and sticking with Opera when I tried them out.
I have been browsing with fewer and fewer ads since back in the late 90's with a crude HOSTS file. I really do not want to move backwards.
Go to about:config
Insert the name extensions.checkCompatibility
Set it to false

How dare you compare the present administration to a bunch of carrots. Carrots are far to intelligent to warrant such a comparison.
Parallelism is actually pretty easy. You just have to completely change the way you think about programing.

That is just what the mind altering frequencies have PROGRAMED you to think!

I agree 83%.

I thought libertarians didn't believe in passports....
It's not the Ballmer Peek that worries me, it's the Ballmer Poke.
Hunt for Red October, I think. It has been a while since I read it.

Viruses. Malware. Botnets. Whathaveyou.
Enough of this gold standard crap. That bridge has been crossed (and burned) and none of your Econ. 101 blathering is going to bring it back.
I'd rather screw the hookers... but that's just me, I guess.
For a moment, I thought they were talking about some sort of anti-anti-malware system found in botnets.
That's only 368 bits of information, and I'm sure there are more compact encodings of the value.
Here's one: pi I tried to use πEveryday is approximately pi day. Just some approximations are better than others.
