Yeah, well tell that to my B&W with an unaccelerated ATI Rage 128. It would be nice if there was a way to just turn off all eye candy on this thing. I don't need transparency on the dock, drop shadows, genie minimize, etc...
Well, RCA owned NBC up until GE bought RCA and then divested RCA to Bertelsman while keeping NBC for itself. Confused? Tune in next time for the next episode of...
True, now that the hardware is the same, true speed tests of each operating system can begin. And as we've already seen, and as mentioned several posts up, OS X is slower than Linux and FreeBSD.
The P/E and forward P/E of the S&P has been getting higher and higher every decade. This won't help. Sure they have to replace Burlington resources with something, but Google? Well, I guess they offset GM for the short term at least.
But it sure does help with the overall experience. For example, in what little amount of spare time I have I like making images with Povray. Whenever I want to try out something new it sure helps to have the code open in a mozilla browser window underneath the terminal window that I'm typing into. Also, I don't have much screen real estate.
I've yet to meet anyone important enough they must be connected and engaged every waking moment. The world worked well before all of this, it would be a better place if we turned down the volume on the gadgetry (not that Verizon, SONY, Apple, et. al., will ever allow that to happen on their watch (literally)).
Santa Claus. Alright, I guess you haven't met him either.
Is it like getting an account on someone's server and then being able to do whatever the hell compute-intensive work you want? I can't seem to find the relavent details, or my Parkinson disease is kicking in.
On the contrary having too many options can be bad by causing confusion. Take, for example, the plethora of Linux distributions. A seasoned user knows what he wants. But for a newbie, so many options can be bewildering and frustrating.
Any point in me upgrading the kernel from 2.6.14? My suspicion is for myself is "no" since everything still works as usual. Alright, maybe I'll just go download and compile it.
I'm so fucking sick of these stupid patents that I think the grandparent and the parent posts are right. We should patent everything and let other countries who don't have such stupid laws out-do us in the technology field. We reap what we sow, and maybe if/when China does get ahead, that will be the impetus for the USA to change these stupid laws.
Unfortunately, most people are generally too apathetic to care about such things as "fair use." It's really a shame. If you film something incidentally for a documentary, why must you clear the rights? How about the buildings that said documentary takes place?
Well, it's interesting that native South Americans living in the rural Andes mountains are thinner than their westernized North American counterparts. This is mostly attributed to genetics where they have genes that allow them to store more energy in a low food environment. Place them in a high-food environment, and they become overweight.
Some geneticists believe the variations they are seeing in the human genome are so recent that they may help explain historical processes. "Since it looks like there has been significant evolutionary change over historical time, we're going to have to rewrite every history book ever written," said Gregory Cochran, a population geneticist at the University of Utah. "The distribution of genes influencing relevant psychological traits must have been different in Rome than it is today," he added. "The past is not just another country but an entirely different kind of people."
Surely if you were able to take a baby from ancient times and transplant him to the present, he'd grow up to really be no different than the rest of us.
The most recent example of a society's possible genetic response to its circumstances is one advanced by Dr. Cochran and Henry Harpending, an anthropologist at the University of Utah. In an article last year they argued that the unusual pattern of genetic diseases found among Ashkenazi Jews (those of Central and Eastern Europe) was a response to the demands for increased intelligence imposed when Jews were largely confined to the intellectually demanding professions of money lending and tax farming. Though this period lasted only from 900 A.D. to about 1700, it was long enough, the two scientists argue, for natural selection to favor any variant gene that enhanced cognitive ability.
This part I really don't buy. More like they weren't having children outside of their group, and so are more prone to genetic diseases.
You neglect to mention that we're stuck with the x86 instruction set. Yet again, 99% of people using computers don't care about bios, x86 instructions, etc...
I have to agree with the grandparent post: the boot process doesn't matter to more than 99% of the computing populace. Although I find open firmware and openboot interesting, sometimes they feel rather bothersome.

It could probably work in an environment where your hands are continually contaminated, whatever that means.

Eventually it will have to. A 40-50% growth is not sustainable unless we actually have a huge population boom.
You could say the same thing about television and radio.

I'm getting a sense of deja vu...
Because Apple still decides to call their machines "Macintosh"? They could call it "Red Delicious", but it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Alienware sells computers with AMD processors. By extension, Dell is selling AMD-based machines!
OK, answered my own question after random clicking. According to this your app needs to be able to run on solaris 10. Then just upload it and it runs.

I wonder how and when they'll spin a core version.

That's because they used aluminum foil instead of tin foil!
That's not a bug, it's a feature!
