I waited for the Radeon 9800 to come out before buying my 9700 pro. There's a premium for the "latest" that juse doesn't make any sense cost wise. 33% cost increase for 3% performance.
Same goes for CPUs I find. I liek to get the second best stuff, because it will last a long time but doesn't have as much of a price gouge on it.
I, personally, see the benefit in projects like Folding@Home, where we haved increased our understanding of proteins in demonstrable ways, and could lead to antiviral agents analagous to pencillin in the bacteria world. I would like to know those numbers as well, tho. It would be nice to write it off on a taxes.
That's because the programmers don't know how to program.
I was making systems that output efficient usable applets in 96. I've taken serverside systems that could barely handle a single user to handling 1300 simulataneous users. My experience has been very few people know how to code usable Java, and when their Java is unusable, they give up and say "it's because Java is slow." Of course, I never really believed that since I played a Quake map via an applet on a 200MHz Pentium Pro. I figured if whoever did that could get 30fps, I could have my lists drop down in a timely fashion.
Typically, the massages are encrypted with a symmetrical key, maybe on the order of 112 bits. The symmetrical key is then encrypted with a high bit assymetrical key and sent with the message.
Are you sure your messages are using 2048 bits? What cypher are you using?
Some people have said that that is cheap, but you can get 6000 people companies for $150Mil. A company I worked for bought a home nursing company with 9000 employees for $90 million. These aren't slaves you're buying, you have to pay their salaries and whatnot. The fact is that it's profit, not body count, that tends to determine company price.
That's not actually true, normal distribution is only one kind of statistical pattern. Poker hands follow a hypergeometric, just drawning cards and taking their face value is a uniform ditribution. Many things follow poisson (people arriving in a queue at a bank is an example). In fact, any nondecreasing function on the range of 0 to 1, inclusive, can be a random distribution based on the integral of 0 to x over the whole function.
But the probability of n sucesses from N Bernoulli trials approches a normal distribution as N approaches infinity. So, given a Bernoulli trial over an element of an element of any set of sample sets, it will fall into a bell curve.
Around here Blockbuster does the same thing for $20/month. No waiting times either, you just have to go down to the store and swap the games out. The selection isn't always the best though (especially for older games)
The day it is instated, you could have a amount of unprotected assests drawn up, and a voucher given for a refund in that amount (say the 12K in the case of having 100K). Then, you can turn in receipts and your voucher, and you'll get the amount of tax paid and the balance plus tax paid on a new voucher.
In addition, you should still have protected retirement accounts, like now. You get a similar voucher when you withdraw from an IRA or 401K. This way, you aren't taxed on your retirement savings.
My understanding from my lender is that they don't care about my employment status as long as my loan:home value is under 80% (may vary by state). So, I'd report the change in status. HELOC are designed for disaster situations, so lenders are sympathetic to job loss. But you should ask your lender these questions up front and get it in writing (just a faxed memo will do) to put you mind at ease. If they don't say that job loss is fine (that would vary by company and by state), then you are right, it's not a good proposition.
I wasn't really telling you that's what you should do, just that you should consider it. There are other risks, like you may borrow on your HELOC and then have rates go up before it's paid off. This is weighed against the interest savings both in the amount of your savings, but in the increased principle you'd be paying off. Ultimately, you have to accept whatever risk you're comfortable with.
Finally, I might suggest purchasing and investment property and renting it, but it is a lot of work.
I was referring specifically to the plot. I couldn't tell you the difference between the plots. Does he go to Mars again? Don't recall and couldn't tell you.
I played them both a lot, but I did play Doom 1 a lot more.
GTA isn't a good example, because it is a very plot based game. Even if GTA:VC had the same engine as GTA3, I would have liked it because it was a much different story in a very different setting (the 80s). There are also the extras like the talk radio.
Likewise, if GTA:SA uses the same engine as VC, I will buy it. Zelda is another such series.
I could barely tell you the plot of Doom, and couldn't even begin to say what the differences between it and Doom 2 is.
They didn't drop the over head perspective. It was one of the perspectives you could choose. It wasn't very good, though, since you can see more when looking forward.
Does that surprise you? Treaties aren't written such that you can't get out of them and must abide until antiquity.
the point is that by withdrawing from the treaty, the U.S. has decided to up the arms race. Once we have an abm sheild, we can launch our missles without fear of (immediate) retaliation (postnuclear terrorism will surely occur). I really do not like the idea of us losing the threat of nuclear retribution.
There are laws that apply when citizens are abroad (specifically, ones that deal with trading in the child sex market). A state may be able to pass a law that says they cannot gamble even outside of their boarders. It wouldn't be well met, however. People like to go to Vegas, and others like the freedom to.
I fully agree with this. I think a killing could be made in the console arena by having the right stick be a trackball instead. Trackballs are even better than mice for FPSs (once you are used to them), because you move your finger less distance and quicker than your hand, and you can spin-n-stop them for some really interesting maneuvers.

Same deal, but with ZolaOnAOL.
Fjord: Please do not eat my leg
ZolaOnAOL: Thank you for your request. Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
Fjord: I don't want you to do it at all
ZolaOnAOL: What does Fjord want?
Fjord: I want you to not eat my leg
ZolaOnAOL: Oh I get it. Why do you want me to eat his or her leg?
Fjord: No, I don't want you to eat my leg
ZolaOnAOL: What does Fjord want?
Fjord: I don't want you to eat my leg
ZolaOnAOL: What does Fjord want?
Fjord: I just told you
ZolaOnAOL: I was just checking to see if you were paying attention.
Small nit. That should have been
"If your deductions outnumber your revenue"
Your deductions can be larger than your profit, while still making money. Otherwise, you're right. People don't really understand deductions.

I've been sayign the same thing since 1996:

They aren't exactly a monopoly. There are other airlines that service within Canada, it's just that Air Canada is the only Canadian owned one.

A bell curve is a pattern, but is formed by random data.

Well, duh.
But also, add on the fact that PETA endorses it. PETA doesn't even endorse having pets.
If that happened and they reported it today, would you believe it?
I also think we can wait a day to find out that SCO dropped the suits. It's not life or death.
Maybe his cracking of the dBase file is illegal and he doesn't want to have the paper trail of purchasing the product.

The rest get buried in a poor neighborhood in Detroit.
That would explain Eminem.

does make me wonder what they were doing when they came up with that concept
Not for nothing, but it was only recently that Japan outlawed psychedelic mushrooms.
