   This is a good idea - and what they already do in the auto industry for parts that can be re-machined and sold again.

   There are a couple of things that I would like to point out about digital sampling. Early on in digital audio, anti-aliasing filters were awful. The ADCs weren't very good either, but the AA filters were bad. Using a higher sampling

   Definitely, though wasn't the A15 designed for more of a compact server role? IIRC the A15 had different design goals.

   This. There may be some correlation between AGW and this drought, but this map is not doing a good job of illustrating that.

   Swisher may be a powerful snoop. She may even be the "best" tech journalist out there. I still think that tech journalism by and large is either a PR machine or an Entertainment Tonight for Silicon Valley. Serious tech journalis

   This. Especially when some economists recommend recession spending as a way to fight it. We've already spent the money, maxed out the "credit cards" and currently interest rates are poised to go up. If another recession doe

    We're saying the same thing. I understand that children need to understand the underlying concepts. I'm saying there are already well established methods for teaching those. Waving a hand and saying the "old way" is si

    Bah... I can tell you why the first algorithm/example works because of the commutative and associative properties of math. Learning "why" a solution works, doesn't require learning some arcane algorithm. If kids don&#x2

    Looks promising. I'll give it a chance, though regardless of the genre, I think this might be one of the more difficult times in television history to breakout with a new hit.

    We live in a country that per capita incarcerates more of its citizens than any other in the world. Our society is by and large very safe. Yet there is still a drive to lock up even more people, for longer terms, for silly offences, and fur

    This x1000. Accept that the planet's climate is changing. Accept that it's partly our fault. Accept that it's all our fault. Accept that the changes have a possibility of being catastrophic. Accept that they definitely a

    I disagree. The measurement of time is based on our planet's rotation and its revolution around the Sun. Which are both ideally represented as circles that wrap around. I absolutely think that the Android Calendar app does a great j

    I think Android's (4.2 and up I think) date and time pickers set the bar personally. I love how you can tap or tap and drag around the circle.

    I can't argue with your conclusion... But that misses the point that their (Mossberg and Swisher) brand is called "All Things Digital". It's trying to be tech press, when it's really just journalism for non-techie

    I've never been a fan of Mossberg or Swisher. I think their interviews of tech icons, lack insight into the fundamentals of technology, which is evident in their questions and followups. I actually think there is still a pretty big h

    He's actually wrong. If you read the executive orders that set up the legal basis for the classification system, it says to err on the side of lowering classification. I.e. not everything should be classified.

    Anything you or your wife buy for you wedding is not tax deductable. Anything a corporation, LLC, or company buys can be treated as an expense as a consumable. I'm not sure what revenue the LLC would have, so it would probably take a loss,

    It's bulky and awful and became a monster of an application that would eat itself. But there were (are) some things that Clearcase does that other version control systems don't do.
