How long have the spans lasted pre new series: 3, 3, 4, 7, 2, 2, 1 new series: 1, 4, ?
I wouldn't exactly call that "burning through" the previous average was around 3 2/3 years. We have a smaller data set in the new series, but depending on how long #11 lasts, there is no reason to think they're being "burned through".
This appears to be a common tactic for television producers. Around pre-season times there is an inevitable leak of almost all new shows that would appeal to the demographic that would know how to download them. This is in fact quite smart because they probably realize: 1)If these people will download a pre-air, they're probably going to download the regular show too, so downloading now or later has the same effect 2)People are going to talk about the show and give feedback 3)Leak it early enough and you might have a chance to tweak some things
now a TV show and operating system are in different places all together..but the concept is the same..
Now arguably 8800GTS doesn't cost 500$ now, but it did when it first came out.
and if you had a time machine and traveled back to 1988 given its relative performance it would probably sell for $10,000 or more. You're playing on a $10,000 gaming machine how does it feel?
You bought it now, it doesn't cost $500 now... some random past price is pointless.
Even without removing the touchpad, the keyboard could still be moved over and a keypad added, however I don't pack my laptop without my mouse, and empty space on this thing is more than enough room to use as a flat surface for my wireless mouse. I've had to do that a time or two because the touchpad just drives me nuts.
Not that this laptop would last long enough to watch a movie (if you have a power port that is a different story) most gaming laptops really don't get 2 hours battery life regardless of what they tell you.
The W700ds is so wide that it boasts a separate numeric keypad, a rarity on laptop keyboards.
They don't really have to be. I'm sitting here looking at my Dell M1710 and there is so much wasted space on this keyboard.
1)It's a gaming laptop, and what gamer doesn't have their own mouse? the touchpad could have been tossed.
2)there is a good 1 3/4 - 2 inches worth of space on both sides of the keyboard. Its flanked by 2 tiny air vents, but those could easily be repositioned/reshaped, and if the keyboard was moved to the left, you could make a pretty convincing case to fit a keypad in there.
each user works about 20 days a month, 240 days a year minus 3 weeks vacation, so around 225 days. Rough guess. say 5 minutes start up and shut down about 10 minutes =~$1.67/day * 225 ~= $375.75 per person. I hope you don't have a big company...
Yes, and while this might appear normal to an English speaker, it appears obviously and stunningly wrong to speakers of some other languages.
and doesn't appear remotely wrong to some speakers of other languages.
There is little point in that sentence unless you can make the case that those languages make up the majority of the languages in the world and that english is somehow an anomaly. Wikipedia references "most" western european languages as having this problem, and I've pointed out Korean as an asian language which also does this there are probably plenty of others. While the anecdotal evidence of how quickly your children learned is nice, its hardly evidence of anything. A rather extensive study taking in to account other learning factors would have to be done to show any evidence that these languages are much easier, but even still many other languages also suffer this problem, and this is hardly a cross english should bear on its own.

wow..letters have different pronunciations depending on where they are in a word and the letters around them? stop the presses! one summer I studied gaelic same headache. I've been studying korean for over a year, same headache there. This isn't anything special.
You also can't take those pronunciations out of context and use them somewhere else and expect them to be right. The writer is a hack.
you know people always want to go back to when hitler was an adult. Right before the war. Here is an idea... try going back to when he was a 5 year old kid playing alone in the woods not surrounded by soldiers, etc
everyone thought dht was great too, but I found every time I used it it caused massive headaches. I would jump on a popular torrent and for days afterward I would be having poor performance, checking logs etc would show several dozen connection attempts per second on the utorrent port, even 2-3 days after I was done with the torrent because the DHT tracker was still advertising my IP address. I'd have to release renew to bring my performance back up. This was with a fairly standard Linksys router. Any situation where the other party might not just get the message that I'm not there anymore is bound to lead to headaches on popular torrents.
Global political simulator? I think it does all right. There were also some rts games made by a german company that involved environmental cleanup. I'm not sure how those did but they looked interesting.
He couldn't answer simple questions regarding SQL without referencing a manual.
my father always said the engineer didn't know everything, but he usually knew where to find everything.
I took a 2 year diploma that was basically the cisco academy plus 4-5 other classes per semester all centered around sysadmin, networks, and a little business communication. 6 months after I graduated I probably couldn't repeat half of it to you. Why? because most of the interesting things we looked in class never came up in the real world. Something you do only a couple times a year just doesn't stick. Now I'm across the world doing something unrelated and outside of bring up the ports and setting up basic routing I doubt I could do it without checking a book or the internet first to refresh myself.
There are better ways to demonstrate ability than simple memorization. In the real world if you have a problem is the internet suddenly unavailable? Are books suddenly unavailable? A lot of lab "tests" don't really show how someone would function in a real situation because they often deny outside assistance. employees don't work in a bubble (unless they actually do and that is kind of cool).
You got your feet in to it 10 years ago. 1998. The IT world was very different in 1998. No one had a lot of experience or education in a lot of things, especially web design. Of course after 10 years experience is more valuable. Its the same for any professional job. The university marks and school get you the first job, assuming you keep it for any real length of time (5+ years) it is no longer relevant. Any tech knowledge you acquired is mostly outdated, except for fundamentals, all it does is show you're willing to study. Later certifications and demonstrations of keeping up with current knowledge also demonstrate that. That might technically still be possible, start as a junior tech position and work your way up (very long term planning), but he may run in to corporate policies which dictate people of certain positions must possess degrees.
The easy way to test this is like this: If the game is cracked and released, no they haven't. since its inevitable that it will be cracked and released we can already answer the question.
The gloves are a first step. Later we could implant something blue-tooth like into the hands or find another method of reading the hands. Remember technology evolves..the solution we present today isn't the solution we're going to be using for 1000 years.

The list is extremely phrase heavy and not so much on the individual words.
are we talking about that rewind feature..you know..the one that was introduced in Prince of Persia sands of time in 2003...?
apparently a terrorist used that stove to make a meal to give him strength to launch another rocket.

Which isn't proof...proof is something which is 100% irrefutable.
But how can we be sure of that until someone goes there to check that it returned the correct results?
Proof would be when someone goes there and verifies the findings..

why don't you quote the most relevant part?

When is gh ever pronounced F at the beginning of a word?

my guess is they'll try to get an injunction against her paying her medical bills so the money can be made available to settle with them.
This goes hand in hand with the new sign they've got out front of the local ebgames which says "No Galleon Parking"
