The problem with the popular prognosis (which you are expressing here) is that the popular view of how quickly influenza spreads in humans is extremely skewed. Our view is almost entirely shaped by the evidence provided by the 1918 pandemic. Left out of the popular description of the 1918 pandmic is the putrid conditions of World War I victims living in close quarters, in warm weather, with multiple open wounds. Influenza was more of the lucky disease that found ripe pasteurs than a blood-thirsy, human-killing super-virus. H5N1 has similar pasteurs in the over-crowded, under-tended chicken coups in southeast asia.
If you like Coca-Cola, their C2 product isn't a bad compromise between Diet Coke and regular Coca-Cola. It has 70 calories per can. In a taste test, the difference is clear. If you're passively drinking it while working, you probably won't notice the difference unless you look at the can.
I consider myself a fairly advanced Linux user. I've used it exclusively as a desktop and as a programming workstation since 2000. Even I have difficulty finding answers to simple questions. The most difficult obstacle I face is that my Google searches are polluted by web sites with identical copies of man pages and even more so by forums filled with the blind leading the blind, often resulting in more questions than answers for the inexperienced. If these sites simply disallowed search engine spiders from indexing the worthless threads (e.g. when a solution is found, move it to a "Working Solutions" forum and only index that), the simple solutions to simple questions could be found much more easily. This would result in fewer duplicate posts to mailing lists and an all around better experience for the newbies and the pros.
An electrician and a professor were interviewed for a show on Wisconsin Public Radio a few months ago (sorry, RM only). Apparently the filters are named after the electrician (David Stetzer, Graham-Stetzer filters). Their only evidence was a handful of case studies. After the show I found one company that sells these filters. I emailed them suggesting that, if their products are so effective and the problem is so widespread and serious, they should loan out their testing instruments and/or give a 90 day trial. I'm still waiting to hear back (since December).
You can be sure that the code on the machine is the same as the source by compiling the source code yourself, building the data image, then comparing that to the flash memory. You could even overwrite what's on the flash memory.
A CPU that mangles code, in any vote-altering way, without a consistent pattern of irregularities would cost more money than would be financially viable to produce and sell.
A co-worker of mine runs a photography business on the side. One of the photos he put on his website (of cinnamon sticks) was lifted by some cooking magazine to use as the centerpiece of their website. He emailed them, notifying them that the image was under copyright. They took the image down and replied that "It was on Google's image search", implying that they thought everything on Google's image search is free for the taking. Instead of bringing suit against Google or the magazine, my co-worker simply added a robots.txt to prevent the images from being indexed. End of problem.
Which is exactly why in 10 years we will be running most of our software off of USB-key mini servers that serve as local web servers hosting a web service version of our favorite apps. They would auto-upgrade from a central server and offload some of the processing work where it makes sense. In a general sense, business PCs will become essentially a backplane for interconnecting these mini servers, with a ton of memory and a web browser.
The post above is spot on. In addition to his (her?) reasons, we have too many database benchmarks already. The problem isn't finding them, it's reading through the horrible writing. You should seriously consider changing your goals.
Rather than benchmarking the two different databases, measure how the settings for each database changes. e.g. Plot the performance of some staple queries with different memory pool sizes.
Right. The post I replied to was concerned with being able to control access to your config files. If you modify the code, you can surely prevent this from happening;]
My local paper interviewed the theater owners and managers about this very topic. The theme that ran through all of their responses was that this year is only very slightly below average. The numbers are only "down" in comparison to last year, which, thanks to "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Passion of the Christ," was a record-setting year.
The way I understand it is that if the PHP authors create the feature to automatically create a mechanism for users of your web server to download the PHP source code, you must leave this in place. It is not referring to your source code.
If you are using a CMS, like SlashCode, and if the CMS authors create the feature to allow users of your server to download the SlashCode source code, you must leave this in place. I doubt that any CMS author would design this feature to download the files that are actually in use on your webserver. They would most likely turn your web server into a cacheing proxy for the main distribution web site.
The porn industry has served as a sort of technological subsidy, which has exerted a huge downward force on the price of distribution. Your list of video devices is missing VCD. No one can blame you for leaving it out; it is forgetten by most people. Had non-US markets ignored the VCD, we likely would just be beginning to develop the DVD which is now ubiquitous.
Similarly, when the rest of the world was comfortable paying the costs of distributing MPEG2 files, the porn industry put up plenty of cash for new codecs -- remember Vivo? -- that spurred the creation of competing codecs like DivX, WMV, etc.
Amen. I tried for three months to check out Calculus Made Easy. In the entire library system (22 libraries, which includes the University of Wisconsin) there wasn't an available copy of a book that is over a century old and still in print for $30.
58% don't prefer Blu-ray. They prefer the appearance of Blu-ray images. The next question is the more important one: How much more money would you be willing to pay over the HD DVD to get the Blu-ray image. My guess is that ~85% would say less than 20% more money.
Personally, I only buy DVDs on sale, at $10 or less.
A syllabus would be a good start. Throughout all of my primary education, the only way I knew what I would be learning the next day was to look a few pages ahead in my text books. That didn't communicate to me what I was expected to come away with though. Give the students a syllabus that explains what they should take away from each quarter's worth of teachings in each subject.
"...completely reversing the anti-online mentality they've held in years past."
Since when did Nintendo have an anti-online mentality? All I have ever read Nintendo executives say is that the market was not ready and would only be ready at the tail end of the GameCube's lifecycle, so it didn't make financial sense for them to go out of their way to support it on the GC.
So far I'd say they were pretty accurate. The XBox Live subscription level is about 2.5% of the worldwide sales; 350,000 subscribers out of 13.7 mil sales. Those numbers are from 2003 and late 2004 respectively. The fact that Microsoft hasn't published their subscription level for XBox Live since 2003 is pretty telling that they are in the very situation that Nintendo did not want to be in. They brought a product to market before the market was ready. It was just successful enough that it is going to be a pain to support, yet it isn't successful enough to be cost effective.
I'm still waiting for someone to package PC virtualization software preconfigured to boot a linux distro. Then there is _really_ no way your PC can be harmed.
You (or, rather, your card) should build credit with the library for each item returned in the same condition as when you borrowed it, not to surpass, say 100%, maybe 200%.

14 months ago was May of 2005 and "a few years" ago was about 2003. Using Linux as your desktop OS since some time between 1993 and 1995? Doubt it.

They usually put you on hold while they trace the call. They are understaffed to handle the number of illegitimate calls they receive.

Moving air brings dust. The obvious solution is to eliminate fans. Perhaps a move to water cooling is in order for you.

7.2% is not very good market penetration when you are the only competitor on your level.
I'm pretty sure the PS broadband adapter anomoly was an attempt to convince Sega to develop exclusively for Nintendo.

I wouldn't call it cheap, but I doubt you will find much cheaper than 10 gb for $5/mo.
