I believe the charger is unable to provide the total power required at max cpu speed, so they require the battery to give the rest of the power needed.
Make a gigant gluster? Then at least you will ony have to worry about it not catching fire (and not about how many duplicates and where do you store them)
I'm wondering why nobody has asked yet how does this work on a non-horizontal CPU. And what would happen if the surface is slanted? Will it spin and go loose?
Digital cable normally works unidirectionally, think multicast. The header sends information for all the receivers, is not point to point like the internet. So, it doesn't matter that you don't want to see the channel, they still have to send it because somebody else *might* want to see it. And, yes, the channel guide travels in the "background".
That's due to how digital cable works. I'll speak of DVB since that's what I know (I don't know what USA is using, but surely it will be similar). DVB sends a big stream composed of several smaller streams, some of those are video/audio streams, some are channel information (the guide, the streams IDs (audio/video/cc) of the channel, etc), others are info on the stream itself (carrier frequencies) or general information (time).
For the video stream, as the parent poster said, you'll have to wait to get a keyframe to start to view it (sending more keyframes means less efficient coding, means more bandwith per channel).
For some of the channel information, like the guide, you have a tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Sure, you can stream the guide with almost 0 latency, but that means using a lot of BW to be able to send all the channel guides all the time. You have less available BW for channels, which means having to use more carrier freqs which means more money on hardware to send those signals (and possibly repeaters...). So, cable operators send the guide with a "reasonable" BW. The problem gets worse the more channels you have, since the channel guide has to be sent on all carriers.
It's worse than that: People run their industrial controllers on Windows.
To be fair, the industrial processes run on PLCs (which have a propietary, more foolproof OS) and the "let's see if anything is out of the ordinary" systems run on Windows PCs. So it's not as likely that a Windows failure will bring down the industry. A hacked controller could do fancy damage, though.
I guess I'm alone on this, but I totally hated the changes they made for Civ3 and 4. Resources? Cultural influence? No sir, I'll keep my AC, tyvm! And I couldn't even LOOK at Civ4, that 3d world and no way to zoom out was horrible, I never could get the whole picture
AC seems superior in many ways... The government options were great, the unit design was cool. And I guess we all agree that gravships with frinking lasers and planetbusters were too cool to say goodbye to:)
Most modern calculators let you do something like this: 2 (ENTER) 2+1/ANS (ENTER as many times you want, and you get your result) You require a calculator that lets you edit the expression for this to work.
My Asus Travelmate has an key and a $ key. I'm still wondering what to do with them. I really don't know what went through their minds when they decided "HEY! Let's put a $ key!", like shift-4 wasn't enough.
Yes there are Uruguayans. But sorry to tell you, that movie actually says "Paraguayans" (or at least, that's what I hear:P ). Thanks to the other poster for the youtube link!
I find Netbeans VERY superior to Eclipse/PyDev for python development. Netbeans at least tries to help you, PyDev just stares at you... Also, considering that Python support on Netbeans is very new and already has loads of features... I find it very promising in the future.
When I was taking Linear Algebra I used to dream (more like nightmares, really) of linear systems. I don't remember the specifics, but it seemed like I spent hours trying to solve the system, multiplying and adding rows, over and over again. It didn't seem like a good night of sleep after those dreams.
I completly agree with you. I play Urban Terror ( http://www.urbanterror.net/ ) which is a Q3 mod. It's graphics aren't super but it's FUN to play.
Also, I *hated* (and never finished) Crysis. I didn't enjoy it at all, the AI was sniping me with pistols miles away while I couldn't even see them, and if I did, I'd always miss my shots. Totally frustrating.
The original (the old old) logo was way better. And the favicon they did is worse than the one they got the inspiration from.
I don't get it, why do they keep changing it? I thought forming a brand meant keeping the same recognizable logo as long as you could, not arbitrarly changing it every 6 months!

Ah! So the weather app is REALLY important then?

What? A decade? Why are you in such a rush?

Wifi-g actually doesn't provide 54Mb/s of effective BW, more like around 27Mb/s. Just FYI.
Indeed. It seems the people that write the software haven't caught up with this "caching" technology you speak of.
Cheap people don't put enough RAM on their decoders :)

The Amazon cloud not working? Already has happened at least once: http://blog.reddit.com/2011/03/why-reddit-was-down-for-6-of-last-24.html
If you have to ask how much of it there is in the Universe, I suspect you're trying to build something far too big for this Universe :P
CTRL+SHIFT+Click.
It's probably configurable in the menu too.
Just like you don't have a couple of wars going on right now, right?
Love how your comment is modded funny

What's the deal with those screens? I can't see a thing! I don't understand how somebody would *like* that

> sweet jebus, is there *anything* technically correct in that article?
Yes, of course, the title. The "On Linux" part.
