Except at some point enough people will watch on comedy central's site that cable companies will stop carrying comedy central - and stop paying them. At that point the site has to make enough from advertising to cover…
Japans new supercomputer cost $100M to build and takes $10M/year in electricity plus all the staff - so $1200/hour sounds pretty good. Of course the problem is that the Amazon machine isn't a supercomputer any more than…
That's why I always put African on the ethnic origin forms - I understand my ancestors came from Olduvai Gorge
A lot of which are already shot on things like the Canon 5d - but yes it's good news
Except that Lucent have no real reason to put firmware in a fiber switch to read your email as it goes down the tubes. A company that makes all it's money from targetted ads - might
It's also part of crazy Hollywood acounting. The more you can charge against the film the better, that's why flops like Titanic and Empire strikes back still haven't made a profit You don't want the film company to…
so we are shooting a $500M movie, $star$ is costing us $250M of that and the advertising budget is another $300M Can we see if we can get a deal on the camera rental?
We will end up with a whole bunch of pyramid schemes advertised on lamp posts that use this as a way of separating idiots from their money
Where does it say on harvard.edu that they wont kill students and harvest their organs? Edit: Oh sorry forgot that people in the land of the free don't have a human rights act preventing Google reading their email (not…
It does however tend to color your judgement about how professional and reliable this service is. If they risked their future on the stability of the Somalia domain registry - just so they could have a quirky domain…

It fails when a certain proportion of the filament has evaporated. The evaporation rate is pretty constant, assuming either a getter or large enough bulb that the evaporated tungsten doesn't change the environment. So…
So on one side you run a T-test to see if the correlation is significant. On the other side you have the ability to phrase it as a question in the same language as Aristotle.
Yes it was different in the middle ages, it has changed now. Only 10% of UK government ministers went to Eton and only 70% to Oxford and Cambridge so the power of the old-boys network is disappearing.
Presumably the greatest minds in computer science sat down and decided that silverlight was the optimum technology Or perhaps they were suspended over a tank of piranha by an evil laughing Bill Gates somewhere in the…
Yep - you know it's the "end of days" when you look back on Microsoft as the hey-day of freedom in computers! See the shiny aluminium laptop - don't worry about not being allowed to own the stuff on it - look shiny. We…
competitiveness only matters when you have competitors. So if you are an engineering company and you work like this you will be destroyed by countries with more meritocratic hiring systems. If you don't have any…
Successful go to elite college, successful only hire from elite college, therefore to be successful you go to elite college. Of course this system eventually breaksdown. But for Eton school it's worked since 1440, for…
>Half a mil to learn about Poetry Writing. Sorry, but that's just silly. Half a mil so that when you apply for a job at $MEGA-CORP or in government the hirer says "Oh you went to %SCHOOL%, same as me" welcome to our…
ICBM's use inertial and (in the case of Trident) star mappers. The reason they don't use GPS is that you would (hopefully) only start throwing ICBMs around if you are in "nucular combat toe to toe with the Rooskies" -…
Depends on the desired outcome. For self destruct systems you probably want all three to agree before going bang - while for an emergency escape system you probably want any one of three to be sufficent to deplay.
Money back if not entirely satisfied!
But you don't need all that stuff any more - you have garbage collection !
Nice that the prospect of some competition is stirring things up! The Beagleboard was nice but at $150 - unless you REALLY needed the small size you could buy an old laptop for less and get a…
Same reason you can't be a mechanical engineer without having taken a shop class. You can sit in front a CAD and FEM package all day - but if you don't appreciate how the things will actually be built you aren't going…
