This may be a little off topic, however I am always confused by the age of the universe being around 13.75 billion years, however the furthest observed object was GRB 090423 is 260 billion light years away.
So, with nothing traveling faster than light, how the hell is this thing 260 billion light years away, shouldn't the max be 13.75 billion light years away, cause nothing travels faster than light?
My problem with process has always been budget. Folks higher up budget on the basis of minimal process and expect full process. If you want 70% unit-test coverage, that is twice the time the code would have taken if you did not write unit test. Add 3 times the time if you want good integration tests to go with it.
Unfortunately, this makes a project costly. The problem occurs if the PM then demands full process when the time is not accordingly budgeted for it.
For argument sake, when it comes to battery, a single core may be better, if something is perfectly multi-threaded, there is still overhead of managing the threads, this overhead will translate directly to more power being sucked from the battery. So a single core may take longer, but the overall energy will be lower as there won't be any overhead to manage the threads.
I realize this was not a chemical reaction, however, I still can't figure out that reaction was stopped at the time of earthquake according to various sources. Graphite rods were inserted into the core to stop the reaction.
So where is this heat coming from. Is the fission on going, wouldn't that mean the reaction wasn't stopped, it is still on going!
I agree with what MS is doing. If you are dealing with a foreign company, you have to do your due diligence that people or minors weren't exploited. Same way you have to make sure all was legit on the IT front.
You can give the same excuse for possession of stolen goods, "how was I to know", but that doesn't make it right for you to possess stolen goods and you are still liable for persecution.
There are tons on DealExtreme. There is no way they are legal, I doubt they are FCC certified to "not interfere with other radio signals".
To be honest a lot of things can cause chaos, IMO this isn't news, just someone realizing that something illegal can cause chaos, so can guns and a drunk behind a wheel. Just because this is powered by electricity doesn't make it news for nerds.
Well I still don't have it on my Nexus One, so its not an OEM issue. Of what I have heard, they are doing some changes so Gingerbread 2.3, will release 2.4 so Honeycomb dual core applications run on Gingerbread single core phones. Which is why most OEM are waiting for 2.4 as it takes effort to do their thing before they can release it. They don't want to release 2.3 and then 2.4 just to support apps from honeycomb.
ah, come on, "free" really. Isn't freedom what you want to do. How come you imposing your culture's point of view on another culture freedom. No wonder middle east is pissed with west, this exact problem. Stop the higher than thou attitude. Talk about true freedom.
Today's fashion industry has to certain extent objectified women, women are demoralized if they don't look pretty, billions spent on fashion. I can definitely imagine a society not wanting this.
Please unplug the fox news feed from your cerebral cortex, often its the women that want segregation. I know, I know, you can't fathom why the women would ever want to have a social life of their own without god's gift to women, i.e. men.
I think these two statements clearly show that you are not qualified for making such claims.
Can you do blackberry messaging on iPhone (since you don't use a BB, think of it as encrypted/free worldwide SMS to any other BB device). i.e. its secure.
Can you do secure email on your iPhone?
Can you make iPhone part of your corporate network, encrypted all the way from your corporate network to the device over the wireless carrier's network?
I for one would love a BB that can handle Android apps and support all these features.
On a side note, one of my friends asked what kind of a bird iPhone is, (someone from google made a comment on Nokia/MS collaboration (two turkey don't make an eagle)). Anyhow, someone from the group rightly said, they don't know, but apple fanboys are crows, they make way too much noise for what they are. Your comment just reminded me of that.
I got netflix in January. My December usage was 40GB, my January usage is 149GB. I also cut my cable as my kids are the only ones who watch movies, and about 1 a day, fortunately my kids don't care that Netflix content is crap, they can get all the sponge bob and diego they want.
So 25GB cap is a tad bit too little if you ask me.
perspective perspective perspective... I don't believe Yassir Araffat was the head of terrorist organization no more than G. W. Bush was.
I was bought up in India, and countless times in my history books I read how those who bombed the british rule and parliament were heroes, they still are today with countless statues all over the city. Today you call Arafat a terrorist, if Palestine is liberated he will go down as a hero.

Ever since after the procedure, he eats a lot.
Some say he eats like a pig.

Can someone explain?
Wait a sec, Google made Chrome OS. Are they trying to hijack the name or what? LOL!
Sir, I think you are lost, keep going that way, when you hit digg.com, you have reached your destination.
Forgot the disclaimer, Do not turn on the microwave while the phone is in.
put the cell phone in the microwave, close the door, if you call and it rings, u have a leak
another trick on smartphone is to install some kind of wifi analyzer and put it in microwave, close the door and watch signal strength
a group of terrorist are a bunch of assholes too. Different scale and values but same mentality.
I am surprised skeptics still refute global warning, if we keep burning fossil fuel, next we will see gamma ray bursts from Andromeda

Release cycles also become long.
What about Efficiency? I did RTFA, couldn't find it, or it could be its time to go home and I missed it.
I guess the only thing new here is that the camera is used for tracking. This was done with a Wii remtote year+ ago.

And like I said, for argument sake.
It's just nice to hear it confirmed by somebody with first-hand experience.
You mean like the rest of us Windows users.

Absolutely nothing he's doing is secret or hard and is extremely unlikely to be illegal in any free country.
I guess he better not visit US then.
Ok ok, I know flaimbait, but I just couldn't resist.

....oh sorry wrong thread
Maybe a bit off topic, but still related to wikileaks,
Notice how there is nothing incriminating about Israel in these leaks...
Turns out Israel struck a deal with Wikileaks.. brilliant. Wonder if US could have done the same.
