They're not overpriced: TI knows students are forced to use them so they feel no need to lower their price. 150$ is within reach of many families and should they cost more that would force the issue. It's called free market: demand sets the price. Suck it up.
Except tablets are in that price range now and there are TI emulators in the Play Store.
$7.4M divided by "around two million customers", minus costs, they'll be lucky to get $3.50, better watch out for that godamn Lock Ness Monsta!!!
Well, actually they will increase each customers bill by that amount because they didn't make as much money this year.
Russia and America aren't the only ones with nuclear generating stations. In fact they can't even claim to have the world's largest nuclear generating station.
And a CANDU reactor like this can already use waste from other reactors.
on many sites you'll be met with messages such as: We've noticed that you have an Ad Blocker, as we're depending on advertisement revenue to provide you with free services - we will kindly ask you to turn your Ad Blocker off and reload the page to see your content.
If they don't want me to see their content, I'm happy to oblige. On the other hand, if I know the site's content is worth it and the ads aren't too obtrusive, I might turn it off.
audible chirps, clicks, etc to scare the birds away?
You would think catching them on fire would be a good enough deterrent.
Meanwhile, where are the list of 'problems' ? Can't find any ?
From an ARS article:
"The first is the issue of compatibility; users in the rest of Germany that use other (Microsoft) software have had trouble with the files generated by Munich's open source applications. The second is price, with Schmid saying that the city now has the impression that "Linux is very expensive" due to custom programming."
At least Amazon has a track record of making decent hardware. The existing Kindle products are pretty nice.
OCZ has a track record of making terrible SSDs.
AMD are giving these a 4 yr warranty, which means they must have some faith in them.
420*500*16 bit pixel depth*4.4 trillion frames per second = 1,800 TB/sec. raw, obvously, because i don't know if anything can compress that fast. my ssd can do 500 MB / sec. Is that close?
So, how much storage are we going to need for the next Hobbit movie?
Due the fact that the panama canal is now too small for modern tankers, something like this needs to be done. If only the US would step up and do things like this.. it's in our best interest! Monroe Doctrine!
The Panamanians are well underway to expanding and widening the current canal.
they already bought the Music CD so the owner of these CD ripping automobiles are not stealing the music, and they are not capable of sharing those ripped CDs on the internet, it is just making it easier and safer for the driver because they can pay more attention to driving and not fumbling around with a CD collection while driving
No, you're not thinking about this the right way! Clearly people are buying these cars and then selling them pre-loaded with the music on them. The music is clearly worth more than the cars, so it's all a clever infringement scheme.
That is what happens when you suck too much water out of an aquifer. When the underground maze of tunnels is filled with water the land above is stable
No, aquifers are not holes in the ground. They are simply layers of porous rock/sand/gravel that allow water to flow through them.
It says it supports 3d blu-ray and menus... though I don't see where you would insert the discs (hopefully it's not just for rips)
On the site it says:
The box plays Blu-ray and DVD content as ISO files and movie folders, and also plays nearly all standard format videos.
So it looks like it's rips only.
I'm bandwidth-constrained. I'd prefer Windows didn't suck up bytes when I didn't ask it to. Is that so hard?
It's pretty easy to turn it off.
Again, why does this matter?
Because, technically correct is the best kind of correct!
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
