Um, he was wondering what markets this targeted, not complaining that something less powerful and less expensive wasn't available. Such a response is rather nasty and uncalled for given it isn't even relevant to the gp.
It is a reasonable question. The general answer is a lot of niche markets, but not many general markets. - Video/multimedia editing at real time or faster than real time - Raytracing/3D image generation - High-end data analysis (quite good for most sciences) - Financial/Business data analysis
It's a pretty standard business model, that Version is better at than most, usually it's self destructive though, as it hinders repeat business.
Basically, get as much money from the customer while providing the minimum possible, often less than you lead the customer to expect. As long as you can hold it up in the court of law.
The email trick will hold up because it's being deleted by date, not size. The "unlimited bandwidth"... I don't think that could hold up.
I appologize, but your post contained (a) valid logic, (b) politeness and a lack of name calling/insults and (c) a, which not compleately mild tone, one that was at least non-offensive
Suggestion: Add more "you suck!", "hey moron!", and "idiot!"s into your post. In it's current state it is unacceptable as a flame post.
That being said, I've never really looked at the II with expansion modules in it, I just had a plain II, to compare. Also the memory on a C64 could be upgraded, but I don't know how difficult/trivial the task was.

- Certain organizations claiming this as further evidence of global warming, spreading to the point of not only altering earths weather patterns, but altering other planets as well, changing precipitation patterns, and causing more erosion leading to the formation of these caves...
The Commodore 64 was a toy in comparison to the Apple II they said?
What kind of drug-cocktail overdose were they on when writing/that/? Maybe the C64 was less powerful (I don't know for sure), but I can tell you, I had a lot more useful things on my C64 than my Apple II, and a lot more fun games too. It may have been better as a toy, but it was better at productivity also.
Of all the web browsers, they put Netscape? That's about the only one I abjectly refused to used unless there were no other options (sadly, there were times when that was the case). If they wanted "original", then they should have used Mosaic, if they wanted good implementation of concept, then Firefox should go there.
Windows 95: Ok, these people must be into masochism. Most items on this list, I can at least find a skewed logic to put them on there, this one? 9X windows? Again, nothing really *new* here. Sure it's the first Windows that looked better than the 1980s MacOSes, but it's not a very good OS, if they wanted "first", give it to MacOS, or DOS, if they wanted good & functional in the mass-market end-user departement, go for 98, 2000 or XP.
Plenty of others I can complain about, but there's at least some good logic, and as much as I hate the applications/services myself, there are people who like them.
But, my thoughts: For computer specific (which this seems to be): --No WinAmp or XMMS? --Where's a good code development tool? GCC seriously deserves a place or two on this list. Vi and Emacs deserve a shared spot as well, both making the lives of various programmers easier (well, I would argue against one of them making lives easier, but apparantly some people feel that way, and it's not my place to make their decisions for them). All time technology? I think the light bulb, automotive vehicle and rope seriusly need space on that list.
Actually, only red blood cells lack a nucleus, the rest of the blood cells have them. Also there are three locations of blood cell development - marrow, liver, and I think spleen or pancreas (may be wrong on both counts in the last one). But I don't remember which cells have which parts of the development where. It's been a while since I've studied that.
In labs, there are several growth mediums made from cow blood (remove the red blood cells as well as several other factors). They can't be properly synthesized because of how complex it is, and that's even after the most complex stuff is removed.
It's not suprising at all that we can't synthesize it, but it's nice that we can "produce" type O from other types.
I read "Windows Vulnerability in Antimatter Containment Field" when I first saw that... I must be too tired. Regardless, that's more interesting than the actual article, so maybe being to tired isn't a bad thing.
Those releasing it would want to be able to get past the filters. The new TLD could be filtered, but if they still have access to the.coms as well, they only need to register an additional DNS entry, not expensive.
So, in the end, there no/down/ side for anyone, but the only ones with an up side are the adult industries.
Actually, that is/not/ a typo. Easier to find = easier to get customers. That's an industry where they could care less about the people who don't like them, therefore they could care less if those people know where they are online. And if such sites aren't required to have the TLD, then they could also have a.con address as well.
So, really it is to no disadvantage to them for this to be available if it is not required.
Is that classification does not equal regulation. It can be used to assist regulation, but usually classification serves a lot of good purposes outside of regulation. That being said, I don't know that.xxx would be the only place the target material could be put (if it were, then it would be regulation), but honestly, unlike a '.adv' (advertisement), I would think they would like the TLD themselves (the content providers) because it would make them just that little bit easier to pick out.
%$@# typo, it's not the temperature, it's the pressure that's not as high. The temperature not being as high would increase the likelyhood of it solidifying.
I'm not sure where you went to school, or if you just slept through class, but it is *NOT* uranium, though it probably contains some. Even if it were, it's, as far as we are concerned, less accessible and mine-able than uranium would be on other planets. The core is nickel/iron mostly, and solid due to pressure. The layer above that is nickel-iron also (pretty sure, may have forgotten), but less pure, and liquid, as the temperature isn't as high.
Also, the problem the article mentions is not that the uranium is running out, it's that we aren't refining enough.
Although I would like to see some of the missing numbers from the article: - How much uranium is refined per day (or year) - What percent of uranium ore, by weight, is needed to produce fuel grade uranium - What is the estimate of the available raw uranium in the areas we can reach
When it comes to things I can't undo, I've learned to ask what I can/can't do when dealing with pre-builts. I usually don't ask with the OS, and simply keep a disk image on a usb hard drive for the day I need to put the old image back (dd + bzip2 + split is a nice set of tools), but when it comes to opening the case and/or replacing hardware, I'll often ask to be safe.

Didn't know it was discontinued. Still, discontinued thigns often last quite a while after the fact.
I thought TV/Video production was still in the hands of IRIX and Linux?
Never really understood the latter being there.
No, a true geek would set up something involving standard tag lines, so that people could have the email auto-shunted to certain folders.
/forced/ into providing their promised deal.
It would then allow sign up, and send 1.8GB-1.9GB of email per month distributed evenly over each day.

You were right to stop reading at that point.

No, but I didn't say the marrow wan't necessary.
What I said is that you may not get new blood cells if you use JUST marrow either.
Try reading comprehension, it helps a lot.
Also, while red blood cells are the most important in most transfusions, they are not the only relevant factor.
Actually, only red blood cells lack a nucleus, the rest of the blood cells have them. Also there are three locations of blood cell development - marrow, liver, and I think spleen or pancreas (may be wrong on both counts in the last one).

blood is a horribly complex substance.
In labs, there are several growth mediums made from cow blood (remove the red blood cells as well as several other factors). They can't be properly synthesized because of how complex it is, and that's even after the most complex stuff is removed.
It's not suprising at all that we can't synthesize it, but it's nice that we can "produce" type O from other types.
Since there is no such mod, I'll just pretend that I gave you this one:

If I remember correctly, watts are jouls*seconds, so if something releases 40Tj over 1 second, it's 40TW
No, Taco, that's women and english professors...
