>>>To be fair, they don't actually say that being 24K gold-plated actually helps anything; if read carefully, it actually just says that the connectors that protect the lens (said lens being required for signal transfer) are 24K gold-plated.
I know. It's nice they chose one of the softest metals to use as protection.:-)
Yeah, Opera can't win that one. Opera has been around longer than FF and Chrome combined, so when you start changing "Shortcuts" to be more like FF/Chrome the people that have used Opera forever complain.
I think he was refering to devices that only accept xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as well has how it is sort of harder to remember/use/write down on a piece of paper an IPv6 compared to IPv4.
An IPv6 looks like:
3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf
What wants to write that down or try to "use" it.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx could posibly still be utilized of you didn't use base16.
Allowing 0123456789abcdefghijklmnop..... then you could still use the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I don't want to do the math, but what base would you need to be in to fit 2^128 into the space xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ??
Well, of course, their requests for subsidies was not Uraguayan in and of it is as it were the United States government would never have if the president, our president, had not and as far as I know that's the way it will always be. Is that clear?
>>but they are mostly let out after a decade or so.
I have 5 neighbors I hate. So you're saying it would take me 50 years to kill them all one at a time, but then I'd be a free man?
Computers in hospitals have never been about saving money. Of course they cost more than writing stuff down on paper and shoving it in a folder.
Computers are about 'patient safety' and are a tool to help elminate errors. Test results came back from the lab? Computer system gives messages/popup reminders to actually CALL the patient and let them know the results are in. Non computer system, a piece of paper comes back saying you have cancer and the nurse files it and thinks "I'll call when I get back from lunch" and then forgets to every call you and let you know the bad news.
So, yeah of course a computer system cost more, but computers 'can' do some neat things.
What benefits do these air powered cars have that aren't significantly exceeded by electric vehicles?
The range of these cars is 1/5 of electric cars *and* is less efficient.
You don't have to strip mine for Lithium. After a few years there are no dead batteries left over to throw away/try to recycle.
and despite appearing green the vehicles are worse for the environment
Compressed air is just a medium in which to store energy. The energy could come from solar panels on your garage. It compresses the air. The air powers you car. Zero emitions.
This is opposed to batteries which really aren't good for the environment, but all those Prius owners don't really seem to care about Lithum strip mines while patting themselves on their backs.
Hydrogen is yet another method of storing energy.
Just compressing air from solar, wind power, etc gives Zero emissions no matter if the efficiency is only 1% or 100%

Is this suppose to be like http://arstechnica.com/software/news/2009/04/google-releases-3d-graphics-plugin-for-browsers.ars

I'm sure this thing is really secure. Sends data back to N. Korea in real time.
//this is a joke chrome fans
Only thing worse would be running Chrome on it!
...until this is available in Theora!

I suppose they could have used Cesium.
Yeah, I know there are a ton...

Cable Towers

And hundreds more.
These other ones you have to be a special kind of stupid to buy those.
The BestBuy ones though, well, BestBuy should know better. The brand "RocketFish" is their own store brand too! SHAME!
If you really want a laugh, read the customer reviews of that cable. :-)
Though not exactly on topic, I feel like I should post this like I always do...
"24K gold-plated connectors help protect the cable's optical lens to ensure consistent signal transfer"

So if I only want to pay for the 700MB quality KEY, I still have to download the whole 4GB torrent?
..
Where can I download this awesome torrents? Oh I think I found the link:

There's like a 100 posts and not single mention of 3D porn and not a single 3D porn joke.
>>There are patents on reading a text already.
This sounds so odd. A patent for reading text on a COMPUTER of all things.
Odd but surely true.
HUSBAND: Shall we try a different position tonight?
WIFE: That's a good idea.... you stand by the ironing board while I sit at the computer and fart all night.
Q: How do you spell clitoris?"
A: I don't know, but I had it on the tip of my tongue just a moment ago.
Your math looks good.
;-)
But yeah, there are over 80,000 chinese characters so they should be good to go.
http://chineseculture.about.com/library/symbol/blccbasics.htm
So in base 80,000 they should just need xxxx.xxxx
Well, if it was possible I don't think there would be any more mistakes than trying to enter 3ffe:1900:4545:3abc:2defa:f8ff:fe21:67cf ;-)

Just replace SCSI & IDE with SSD & Platter and pretend we already did this fight 15 years ago.

Trolling doesn't get more obvious than this.
Pretty pathetic.
I can't help but notice that Opera 10.10 with the long awaited (by some) Opera Unite was released TODAY and there is no mention on Slashdot.
"Carbon offsets" is a joke, wake up people! Any emission is an emission.
I hold all my farts in sir!
