No they don't. Or maybe you didn't read the two words that follow "used" (you know, the "and new" part). If you click that, you'll see that both listings are for new copies (one is Amazon themselves) and specifically state that they won't be available until September 9.
Mod parent up.. The earth's climate is a control system. As it becomes unstable, you will start seeing more records: cold, hot, rain, drought, record single day temperature differentials, etc.
It's not going to just get warmer over short time periods.. It always amazes me that folks don't realize that.
I've been telling people this for a while. I liken it to a spinning top. When it begins to slow down it starts wobbling and becoming very erratic. The difference is that unlike a top, the climate will eventually begin to restabilize. It just might not stabilize in a way that humans are particularly comfortable with.
Interesting side note, 'high' is a synonym for 'stoned,' while 'end' is a synonym for 'asshole.' And 'thinker' just means 'someone who doesn't do shit, but talks a lot.' I definitely think Slashdot is a community of high end thinkers.
Well, when you put it like that, I don't think anyone can disagree....
I'd assume that they'd need a license to include any MMX/SSE/3DNow instructions. Unless they've found some workarounds for those, releasing a chip without them would have some serious disadvantages in the marketplace. That's not to say that it can't be done, though.
Pre- is for events... not verbs. A machine with no operating system installed at all would be "pre"-installed. A "pre"-heated oven would be room temperature.
Curious, but both Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary seem to disagree with you. Since you need to have a subscription to the OED, I'll quote what they say: pre-, prefix
With verbs, or participial adjectives and verbal nouns derived from them, in sense 'fore-, before, previously, in advance'.
Would you like to amend your statement to say that the OED is killing the English language? Because that would be a pretty silly argument to make.
However, I will make a small rebuttal. Vista is not always the right tool for the job. OS X is not always the right tool for the job. Linux is not always the right tool for the job.. but it is flexible enough to be.
Ummm, that's not a rebuttal. You're simply restating his point.
I know the feeling. I installed Vista on my desktop 3 or 4 months ago. And after going through and turning off a lot of the annoying crap (UAC especially) and getting used to how they rearranged things, I'm actually quite pleased with it. There are a number of things here that they did get right. And as far as any performance issues go, they're so minimal that I haven't noticed them in daily use (Athlon X2 3800+). And yes, it does feel dirty saying that.
Seriously! I could watch someone send out emails that should have attachments with them all day long and laugh at them but what I SHOULD do is show them how to add an attachment.
Exactly. The only way you'll get me to do the job of the cashier is to give me a small discount on my purchase. I'm saving the store money by using the self-service checkout (which hardly ever works properly), so there needs to be some benefit to me to use it. And also it's rarely quicker than the regular line (person in front of you wants to use a coupon, or the item doesn't ring up at the price marked on the shelf, etc).
Slashdot Mirror
So how exactly is this "open source"?
.riff files along with the patent-encumbered MPEG2 files on the copyrighted DVD. Duh!
Because it uses a closed source program to play the proprietary
Agreed. I loved the Baroque Cycle. I'm hoping that I'll find another 6 months to read through them all again someday.
They also claim to have used copies available!

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. See Wikipedia
Thanks! Do you happen to have an explanation for that IBM thing that's confounded me all these years?

Or Bana.
"How d'ya like that Vista, Jerry? It's the best. The BEST!"
Don't get mad, at least we will see Bill Gates playing the roll of Kramer. ;-)
I get the feeling he'll be playing more of a George character.
Ewe muss bee knew hear! ;)
Eye yam!

I just don't want Slashdot to turn into the "Fox News for Geeks, Stuffed into Your Gullet Our Way."
I think you're about 11 years too late for that.
Those lawyers who rely upon buggy infringement detection programs to do their thinking for them...might want to think again...
But you've just shown that they don't even think the first time around...
I can't wait to see where the countersuit goes from here.
Mod parent up. MS can have "cleartracks" and "inprivate" as trademarks if they want....

Because they found the Olympic training to be very damaging to younger girls.
It's not like any of the girls competing in gymnastics haven't been training since they were very young anyways....
Haven't these guys ever seen Heckyll and Jekyll?
Is that supposed to be "supposed"?
I suppose so....
And yet none of them will be compatible with my Samba Di Amigo maracas.... *sniff*

Dammit! I want all 101 keys on my subnotebook! And I don't care if that means that they're all 3mm x 3mm!

Wow! Thanks CmdrTaco. I'd never heard of this "Photoshop" thing before. Who knew that you could alter photographs?!?
Since this story is still accepting replies, I just thought I'd chime back in and mention that there's a fairly extensive article about this discovery in the September issue of National Geographic (also available online).
