I do not see why the government would be necessary to get a golden egg laying duck to market. Those who wish to get rich will research this issue and if its viable I am certain they would want a return on their investment ASAP.
If this works as hyped then this would make electric cars alot more viable as well as changes to many other markets.
My main problem with the Windows 7 beta so far hasn't been the operating system. Nvidia has no Windows 7 drivers for my motherboard, which is a fairly recent motherboard.
Without adequate driver support I can't gauge Windows 7 performance. With the default drivers it takes longer to move files onto a thumb drive than it does to download data off the net*.
Hopefully Nvidia will release drivers before Windows 7 goes on sale.
*Downloading off cable modem, my download cap is 880kbps
After all, there is a car, its flying, why is it not a flying car? Is it because it doesn't use jet engines or something? If one tossed wings on the car would you say, oh hey that's not a flying car, why its a plane just look at those wings.
Flying campers would be kinda nice, keeps them off the roads, and hey there's even a car that you can tow behind your flying home.
I read the article, and indeed something was done. It allowed research on contaminated lines. You might have also noticed how few lines are available for federal dollars.
I was actually thinking something more along the lines of an orbiting squirt gun.
Direct the jets in the optimal direction so that when the ice/water hits the object it removes momentum. I'm not up on how h2o behaves in a vacuum when it hits a piece of space junk. I'd hope the collision would melt the ice momentarily from the impact then refreeze around said object to add mass, along with the loss of momentum from the impact it would be a one two punch...if things work the way I think they would, but I'm not well read on the subject.
Time Warner has been able to provide me with consistent bandwidth that is not infringed upon by my neighbors downloading large files ( ok, so its usually me downloading large files not infringing on my neighbors bandwidth ).
So if Cox's competition can do it, why can't they?
If Cox cannot deliver what they advertise why can't they be sued for false advertising?
If Cox would just upgrade their infrastructure they wouldn't have this problem, not only that but they would have happier customers and less upset former customers.
So the basic idea of business that Cox seems to be unable to comprehend is that if they invested in their business then they would actually get more customers.
Instead Cox is going the MBA route of if they f*ck the customers then the customers will bend over and take it or leave.
Although many pot smokers are out of shape, I personally do not know any obese pot heads. The pot heads I know who are out of shape tend to be skinny with low muscle mass.
For obese people Food is their drug of choice, and food addiction is a very very devastating addiction.
Feedback has been sent, I just found it interesting since this IS an issue people have had with Vista.
And again though, I don't know a whole lot of the nitty gritty, but from what your saying it almost sounds like Vista/7 is checking for information and circumstances I would relate more to installing a program rather than just copying over a folder. The only thing that was on the destination drive was Windows 7, since this was an 80 gig hard drive there was plenty of room.
I'll see what I can find regarding I/O since Windows 7 did rate my hard drive a lowly 2.9 for an 80gig Seagate Barracuda. Unsure if that is an accurate rating for it, sounds low.
other stats for reference, AMD 6400 black edition, 2x 2gig(4gig total) of dual channel ram, nforce 630/7025 motherboard by Abit, and nvidia 9800gt.
Oh, and thanks for explaining the issue in depth, I appreciate it.
I downloaded the beta, 64 bit version and installed it on a new hard drive for testing.
One of the games that I play doesn't need a true install to work, one can just copy of the game folders and be good to go.
The file is around 6 gigs, I went to copy it from my old hard drive to the new hard drive that the OS is on. It just sat there, preparing to copy.
Its like its Col. Sanders from Spaceballs, always preparing but not doing squat. I ended up canceling the copy after a couple minutes of it not copying and I am instead just running the game from the folder on the old hard drive.
So my question is, why is it that copying, which in my un-educated opinion should be a very very basic and simple process of well copying, why is it no longer a simple and basic process anymore?
Besides, you sound a little paranoid. Oh No!! Someone may............ ok, I can't even figure out what kind of prank a medical student may play with my old organs. Seriously, you may just be abit paranoid, relax a little.
All these people talking about Windows having issues with 64 bit OS. Have none of them used XP-64? OR did they only install it the first week out then gave up?
The drivers for XP-64 are plentiful and stable. Only thing I have found doesn't install are a number of older TV Tuner cards.
XP-64 is based on Windows 2003 with an XP window treatment. Probably one of their best OS's and least used.
Check out the number and quality of drivers for XP-64. I have been running it for over a year and have installed it on friends and families computers and it has worked great.
My theory is that the driver programmers have been testing out the 64 bit programming on XP first before they dive into 64 bit for Vista. The only device I have had any problem at all with on XP-64 is the lack of drivers for TV-Tuner cards. Printers, motherboards, graphics and audio have had no problems at all.
I have had to run only one program in emulation mode, the back-up program for my network drive from Maxtor.
The drivers come from the company that makes the chip sets, not the company that makes the motherboard.
The motherboard company might repackage the drivers, or deem a certain revision of drivers as the one most applicable, but they are not the ones that create the drivers and the drivers will still be available from the chip set manufacturer.
After all, isn't that one of the big things regarding the Vista Ready debacle?
When on board graphics cannot even display desktop eye candy I think it needs to be admitted that there is no trickle down for low end or on board graphic cards.
The low end and on board graphics cards are just as weak now as they were 5 years ago, I'm not positive, but I think they might even be worse than the old intel 810's.
In his comment he states that he does not know if one exists, therefore one could assume that he did not check for a demo first. If one does not know if a demo exists how would one download it?
I'm rather surprised you were modded up for missing that.
If it is not a significant change from Vista why not just patch Vista?
Oh right, cause this is all about marketing.
I'd swear that the Microsoft marketing department really took their Mojave experiment too seriously.
Was the difference between Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition as major of a change as the difference between Vista and W7?
Why give a service pack for free when your customers will pay for it?
I find this highly relevant.

Without knowing what equipment you were loading it on its hard to say whether it was the software or the hardware.
Often times the bottom of the barrel manufactures do not follow standards to shave some bucks off the price, when they do that they only test on windows. Also, was the network card enabled in the BIOS?
Now though, if you were installing windows on the computer you would not have the network drivers at all which would leave you in the same boat. Ubuntu will at least provide drivers that work on almost all network adapters, windows not so much.

I want to spend mod points on you, but there is no category for WRONG.
Pffft. There are already synthetic boobies.
Aim lower.
Why would you not call it a flying home?
No seriously.
After all, there is a car, its flying, why is it not a flying car? Is it because it doesn't use jet engines or something? If one tossed wings on the car would you say, oh hey that's not a flying car, why its a plane just look at those wings.

My analogy of the poisoned well stands.
Citing Bush's funding of embryonic stem cells is like being happy you have a poisoned well.
Yea, you can get water out of the well, but you can't do anything with it.
I was actually thinking something more along the lines of an orbiting squirt gun.
Direct the jets in the optimal direction so that when the ice/water hits the object it removes momentum. I'm not up on how h2o behaves in a vacuum when it hits a piece of space junk.

You are Very Incorrect.
People have been fired for smoking tobacco on their own time at their own home.
The primary reason for drug testing is not about the legality of what an employee does on their own time, its insurance.
Time Warner has been able to provide me with consistent bandwidth that is not infringed upon by my neighbors downloading large files ( ok, so its usually me downloading large files not infringing on my neighbors bandwidth ).
So if Cox's competition can do it, why can't they?
If Cox cannot deliver what they advertise why can't they be sued for false advertising?
If Cox would just upgrade their infrastructure they wouldn't have this problem, not only that but they would have happier customers and less upset former customers.

For obese people Food is their drug of choice, and food addiction is a very very devastating addiction.
If the experiment gets approval from the FDA and the FDA will only approve experiments that reinforce their current views of the drug.
I'm very surprised that this study was done in the US, perhaps if I RTFA I might be able to better point out why this experiment was allowed.
Just because its legal doesn't mean that companies would no longer drug test.
Drug testing has NOTHING to do with its legality. After all, they also check to see if you have alcohol in your system.
Hell, just think back to all those stories about companies firing people over smoking tobacco.
Just to re-iterate for the stupid.
IF drugs are legal it will not change the legality of checking for substances that your employer does not approve of.
So if you are a crane operator and its found that you have THC in your system then it does not matter if its legal, your still fired.

Great, so um whats up with copying?

Bah!!!
Play is one of the best ways to learn.
Besides, you sound a little paranoid. Oh No!! Someone may ............ ok, I can't even figure out what kind of prank a medical student may play with my old organs. Seriously, you may just be abit paranoid, relax a little.
Make it as easy as donating organs to help people and they wouldn't have a problem.
Its not like most people care one bit about what happens to them once the doctors give up on resuscitation, I know I don't.
As others have said, if they lobbied to have research included in the general organ donation then there wouldn't be any problem at all.

Low end graphics have not advanced much at all.
