Unless you have 64 bit or 66mhz pci, the pci bus is limited to 133 megabytes/sec. I don't know of any motherboard manufacturers plugging sata directly into the south bridge yet, althought there are a whole bunch doing it with firewire. Of course firewire right now is limited to 50 megabytes/sec so that's not really going to work either. PCIX here we come.
I assume that you did because you bought it at a kiosk. You tried to address the situation with the theater, they didn't make it right, so the next step is to call up your credit card company. Tell them the story, and have them give you the procedure for disputing a charge. You'll probably have to write them a letter, but it should be pretty easy and painless.
There's a significant difference between having a police force that enforces laws and having a police state. From Dictionary.com:
Police State: A state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the people, especially by means of a secret police
Police Force: The governmental department charged with the regulation and control of the affairs of a community, now chiefly the department established to maintain order, enforce the law, and prevent and detect crime.
Notice how police state uses a police force to exercise repression- a non-police state will use a police force to maintain its citizen's freedom.
None of your points follow from each other. Godel's incompleteness theorem only applies to systems of logic which include arithmetic. Going on that basis, since the brain is so poor at arithmetic it seems likely that Godel's theorem does not encompass the workings of the human brain.
In actuality, Godel's Theorem deals with the limits of our ability to describe formal systems of logic. That discussion, while interesting in and of itself, is completely tangential to discussions about simulating intelligence.
Actually harvard probably has a significant amount more money than monsanto does. Harvard's endowment is around $18 billion- I don't know how much cash monsanto has on hand but I know it's not anywhere close to that.
For most applications RAID-5 is a better choice, but you pay a lot if you have a disk failure. RAID-3 is a much better choice for situations where you need guaranteed performance in the event of a disk failure.
One film that you should see before you make any judgements about Will Smith's range: Six Degrees of Seperation. He was absolutely amazing in it, and definitely not comic relief.
I love foundation too but I don't think it would be a very successful movie, at least if they did the original trilogy. In the first three books all of the action happens behind the scenes so to speak- you hear characters talk about it after the fact and plan it, but you never actually see anything happen. Sure, you could add it in, but then it really wouldn't be the same at all- you might as well remake dune. (I always sort of though of Paul Atreides as a really violent pissed off Hari Seldon)
Yes, you were mistaken. ATI's drivers are not open source. The GATOS project is open source and provides drivers for ATI's cards, but is not affiliated with ATI.
Test results and labs come back on computer these days. More and more hospitals are moving to filmless radiology, where all images are delivered over the network. I don't know that much about this particular hospital, but I do know that hospitals en masse are rapidly aproaching the point where a network outage is life threatening. This is not because the machine that goes ping is going to go off line, but because doctors won't have access to the diagnostic tools that they have now.
It's still prefectly normal xml- we're not redefining syntax here. We're deciding on the semantic meaning of the data stored in the file. In most cases it's going to be very clear what is intended. We can do whatever we want with the values after our program parses them. The only time XML requires that we preserve whitespace is if we write the xml out again. For example:
<configuration> <!-- connection timeout value. strips leading and trailing whitespace --> <Timeout> 45 </Timeout> <!-- Provide the username used to connect. Strips leading and trailing whitespace --> <UserName> User </UserName> <!-- Displayed when user logs in--> <Comment>This is a comment. All white space is preserved. </Comment>
Now to someone filling that out, it's pretty obvious what's going on. It's easy for programs to parse and manipulate, and if the typical unix practice of commenting your config files is followed, users know exactly what's going on without reading any manuals carefully.
That is overly complicated. I find this much more readable:
<configuration> <key>
value </key> </configuration>
Namespaces aren't really necessary unless your trying to stuff multiple configuration files into a single container. The xml declaration is optional as long as the file is utf-8, which is a pretty reasonable assumption. And while the xml spec requires white space to be preserved, there's nothing that prevents programs from discarding it after it's been parsed.
I'm using a usb type 6 on my pc right now. It's definitely my favorite keyboard.The only downside was having to patch XFree86 for it to understand the extra keys.
Really? Because their web site still says that recording "should be coming shortly." If they can get it recording it might be worth trying out, but I have a feeling I'll be sticking with mythtv anyway.
You can also grab a stage 3 tarball for gentoo- basically it's everything precompiled. You lose the benefits of targeting your specific architecture, but gentoo has a lot of nice other stuff going for it too.
Except for the guy that thinks the core is a giant nuclear reactor. Most geophysicists tend to ignore him, but they're not really sure he's wrong. See a writeup in Discover here.
Yes, but that by that logic everything but one time pad encryption is already broken, since you can brute force anything else. The act of breaking an encryption scheme is the creation of an algorithm that can go from cypher to plain text without knowledge of a shared secret.
As someone who lives in manhattan, I can tell you that if they're arresting all the guys putting up stickers/posters illegally it's not deterring anyone at all. Maybe they need to move to caning.

Britain does, but I think it's the only one.

Really usable and worthwhile, but I wouldn't buy one for myself.

I was thinking most atm machines probably run some sort of proprietary RT OS, but boy was I wrong. According to the NY Times most ATM's run OS/2.

No, no, no, that's alpha. When a product hits beta Microsoft stops supporting it.
