So how long will it take to clean up the entire population of Windows PCs? This kind of propaganda is counterproductive. First of all, this is a negligible effect, secondly it pretends that MS takes care of Windows users, and thirdly it doesn't emphasize that safe computing is far more important than all security software in the world.
There's a house on a hill overlooking the highway, visible from miles around, with blue "icicle" lights outlining it all around. Irritating as hell if you're driving in the dark.
I guess it's not the LEDs themselves, but you need electronics to down transform and rectify the AC. Now if that's left to the lowest bidder you can expect high failure rates. It's probably the same with the CFLs. Everybody is used to incandescents to fail all the time so it doesn't make a difference if they're crap.
Why is it that all the "hip" conservative movements are based on nothing but opposition to liberal movements? The liberal causes aren't always right, but at least they take a stand *for* something, not just against.
Because they don't have anything left that they stand for except worn out things like the Bible, guns and outdated libertarian memes.
Amen to #5. Call to Support, severity 1, customer is dead, escalated to 2nd, then 3rd level support, we call the customer on the provided number (within about an hour) and get a voice mail announcement that they're closed for the holidays. No alternate numbers are available and we resolve the issue quickly about a week later when the customer is open again. Sigh. I'm so happy that I'm back in Engineering.
Yeah. Anybody who ever used one of those round DEC mice from hell would know that mouse orientation is kind of important. I loved my VAXstation, but I loved it even more after I got a replacement mouse.
There is no such thing as macroevolution. What we perceive as macroevolution is the result of millions of steps of microevolution plus the fact that paleontology only provides a few snapshots of a continuous process. As soon as you have a detailed set of data the issue goes away. It has recently been shown that the human skeleton has evolved quite a bit over the last few thousand years but hardly anyone noticed.
Ewww. And you admit that openly? Both of them are a huge PITA if you try to do more than superficial things with them, and they have no interoperability with other SW whatsoever. I was reminded of the day when I had to search through a huge email archive in the shape of a dozen PST files and ended up writing Perl to talk to MAPI. Teh Suck. What would have been trivial with mbox files turned into a 3 day project.
That's correct, but only if you have an existing dam. Building one just for storage is only viable if you have a huge height difference, i.e. a mountain.
We have 16 cores and 32GB in our product and still need to optimize the code very carefully. Right now we're looking at Assembler for some of the inner loops. Can't find better algorithms any more and Moore doesn't help enough.

Who gives a damn about the constitution as long as IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!
Get out while you can.
In Georgia, it also means 16 or 17 year olds who were caught having oral sex with their 15 year old girlfriend.

You got my attention up to the "watts per hour."

Yeah, many of them blue of course. Yuck.
"Analyst"=="clueless". It's kinda like "associate."

Something makes me feel that we won't have a problem burning all those cycles with several layers of VMs and emulation.
Which emBEDded OS would it run!?
Not one that has anything to do with "micro" or "soft."
Gah! I can't take another second of this!
Yeah. Can we please call the leap second 2009-01-01-00:00:-1?
Christians do not deny MICRO-evolution.

I'm sure they do run AV software, but they probably downloaded if from piratez-R-us.ru.

LOL. 1 MWh = 3.6 GJ. An ultracapacitor stores a few J max so you'll need about a billion of them.
That's being done... with millions of tons of water.
Millions of tons of concrete would be slightly more difficult to handle.

sounds like a cool potential battery technology too. The battery element determines the power, and the amount of energy storage is only limited by the size of the tanks.

Religions more than carry their weight in society.
Yeah, like pushing Prop 8...

...the whole sharing brains thing was just too messy. Everyone always went home all sticky.
Hannibal, is that you?
