I went through two rounds of cataract correction surgery, so my medical plan allowed me to experiment a bit with replacement lenses. In the end, I found that a larger spread of focal range (top to bottom) suited me better (I think my original corrections were -4 to -3, and settled on -4 to -2). A also found I liked the "digital" layout (small infinity at the top, wide screen-distance, small near distance) over the standard layout (wide infinity, narrow mid, narrow near).
I run a Linux kernel on 4 out of the 5 PC/laptops I own, and spend 90% of my time screen-time on them. I organize my photos in <shameface>Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer 8</shameface> on Windows. Elements can be made to tag the metadata into the JPEGs so that its database can be reconstructed just from the files, and it has a reasonable tagging interface. However, my photos probably only amount to 500GiB or so, going back to the 1990s, and I don't bother with raw, so my load isn't high.
..."people hate change but they'll learn to love it"
It's mostly true. The early Gnome 3 annoyed me so much ("I want my clock on the bottom of the screen, dammit!") that I changed to KDE4 and XFCE (on low memory systems). KDE was infuriating, but once I'd figured out how to disable, e.g., Akonadai and Konqueror, I learned to like it. (Dolphin is good! Window title bars on the left edge is a godsend for widescreen use.) XFCE was similar enough to Gnome 2 for me not to notice it much.
Institutional ownership of Apple shares has declined as funds question the company’s ability to increase revenue long term, Morgan Stanley said in a report this week. Apple’s 30 largest shareholders own a record low 30 percent of shares outstanding, down from a peak of 40 percent in 2009, according to the report.
Every digital format is lossy compared with the analog source material. As long as you only lose the noise part, you can reasonably call it lossless. I think the analogy is more like:
"Where can I find a good semi-freestone peach pie?"
"The place over there does a great clingstone peach pie."
I did some quick calculations, and (1e20)eV is a 145g baseball at 54km/h. Not nearly so painful as 100kph. Now, in terms of a hyperdermic needle (1g) it's about 400mph. That'll hurt!
Maybe the hurried journalists quietly noted that there are now 66% fewer Mythbusters and thought, "Let's run with it—what's the chance of being caught now, eh?" B-(

The value you stated is complicated. Either
Tough call, depending on his business.
an external HDD plugged into a raspberry pi costs almost nothing, and is pretty easy to set up for anyone with even moderate scripting skills
The sentiment is sound, but in many cases, the RPi+storage+time costs more than the $500 ransom.

Anything other than "scary computers" being the cause would be nice.
Skynet?

I suspect FTDI's counter-argument would be:
"Our driver detected an anomoly with the 232 chip, and reassigned its PID to prevent possible future serious damage."

...and software updates are usually distributed by bank internal networks
I'm not sure I like the idea of rogue ATMs on the internal bank network.
So figure this thing can be built for 20k. And you manage to save $1k a year. It will take 20 years to pay off...
That's at $0.05/kWh. In California the CPUC demands $0.34/kWh if you run more than 4 light bulbs.
The package man2html (installed by default on my server) had a cgi script starting #!/bin/sh. Urk.
Apple is somewhat special. See, for example:
Institutional ownership of Apple shares has declined as funds question the company’s ability to increase revenue long term, Morgan Stanley said in a report this week. Apple’s 30 largest shareholders own a record low 30 percent of shares outstanding, down from a peak of 40 percent in 2009, according to the report.
Boards are typically appointed by the shareholders. A large proportion of shares (majority?) are held by "Wall Street" as part of mutual funds, etc.
Using wikinumbers, here are some relevent energy densities.
Here's a press release from some company that claims 60Wh/l (~200J/cm3) from their research supercaps.
How can we mandate that AT&T executives must not drive faster than 45mph, which is as fast as you need to go to get basic transportation?
Sorry: this chart is clearer. (Didn't really want the 10-yr bonds in there too!)
Here's a chart of 25 years of natual gas prices. See if you can work out why NG is not a panacea.
You need to feed your horses better. It's closer to 750W. ;-)
(33,000 ft-lbf per minute -> 745.7W.)

Maybe the engineer was anxiously looking around for flying chairs coming from Balmer's office?
... always shut down your computer by selecting Shut Down from the Start menu.
You've got to admit, the advice is sound. "I see you tried to run a program. Sheesh. Remember ALWAYS shut down your computer...".
So can I get a laser mosquito blaster in time for my next party?
I thought, "I'll run with it...".

Do you mean the JEDEC standard for semiconductor memories ? The first hard drive shipped was 5,000,000 characters. (At 7 bits/character.)
