QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 09:14 AM) Cloud computing is another word for dumb terminal computing...a concept that's been around from the start of the Internet. It's not new. The implementation is not new, either... It's just re-branded and called 'cloud' now. Just because people have "finally caught on" to storing video/pictures remotely doesn't make it new. I've been doing it for over a decade now. Eh, it's a little bit more than that. What they'd like to do now (and I'm not talking about the OMG! Remote Desktop! Windows crap) wasn't possible without modern bandwidth. But the idea of distributed computing certainly isn't new. Hell, I remember the folding@home project from 10 years ago.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Which is the same as remote access to said storage. It's one of the base concepts of the Internet and has been from the start, they're just kept on re-branding it rather annoyingly. As Microsoft is advertising it, yeah, that's all it is. But the move towards "cloud computing" is starting, at least in some places. Even CAD companies like Dassault (CATIA, Solidworks) are investing in developing cloud-based CAD system.

I'm still waiting for all of my tax information. I'll have my IRS agent father do it for me.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) Intel makes CPUs, SSDs, and integrated video cards, what can will.i.am possibly come up with to improve those things? After reading Intel's press statements, it does sound like it's just a marketing thing. Which is probably better than actually having him with any sort of creative control.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) It's just very typical Bear fan, that's all. Why do you suppose he is doing it? I'm not criticizing him, I'm just finding it ironic that this is the guy I am supposed to be impressed by after being called a meatball by a lot of people on your side of the fence in this debate. Analysis and thought is the opposite of a meatball. Drinking presumably good beer out of a fancy glass doesn't make you a meatball. You're just mad because your argument is about as good as someone saying the earth is 6000 years old.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) They both passed this plan, therefore they're both retarded. Which side wanted which concessions? Anyway, my paychecks were slightly higher for the last month. They'll probably be slightly less than they were a year ago with the IL tax increase.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) wtf D Rose diagnosed with stomach ulcers? http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20110127/sports/110129546 Rose was diagnosed with two stomach ulcers. He's hoping to be able to play Friday against Orlando, but that could be challenging. Why is Rose quitting on the Bulls?!?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) SWEET. I just received my smaller paycheck taking into account the new income tax. Thanks Gov. Quinn and democratic leaders of Illinois, you corrupt assholes! Where is your post thanking Obama and the Congressional Democrats for the slightly larger paychecks you received in January?

Those forms are basically so people can't skip out on paying taxes on large winnings. The IRS wouldn't really have any other way of documenting or knowing that you won $200k at the tables but didn't report it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) Intel makes CPUs, SSDs, and integrated video cards, what can will.i.am possibly come up with to improve those things? "put more transistors and s*** on there, yo" I think Intel is trying to branch out some with integrated products. I dunno, I don't think it's the greatest idea, I just wanted to point out it isn't an advertising/endorsement deal.

I believe you're supposed to claim those winnings, it's just that most people don't.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Just a waste of money. No computer geek is gonna buy an Intel chip because of will.i.am. Wrong demographics. They're giving him creative input into new designs and concepts. It's not just an endorsement deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) fraternity brothers always said that drinking whiskey helps fixed

Will.i.am named Intel's director of creative innovation

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) I was, too. I like that Darrell is getting more involved with the storyline. My guess is he takes over. But I guess I missed an episode because I have no idea wtf you guys are talking about.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) For real? "Jay Cutler is a p****/quitter/weak/baby" meme is now fully entrenched. Way to go, Bears, this is squarely on you.

Ron Paul hates science, based on that budget.

LOL, Sputnik led to the collapse of the USSR! I guess it wasn't Reagan's massive balls that brought them down after all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) Eh, I don't see why you would waste your time on thread policing what exactly has to go into the MLB thread. Talk about a waste of time. Why was the separate MLB subforum dumped?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Actually you know, I got it wrong. It's one year plus under the statute, which was his problem. He moved back before the election, but not a year before. So that's your baseline. Minimum of one year of physical presence with a permanent abode is your definition under this statute. But still, "residence" still requires your physical presence. The question is just how long does it require a physical presence, and in this case it's a year, whereas in other statutes it might be shorter or longer. So, in other words, anyone who lives anywhere else for even a day or a week within the year before the election is ineligible?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) You're still physically present in Chicago for "most of the year." Again, i'm talking about this particular statute, which requires being a "resident in" the state of Illinois one year prior to the election. If Rahm worked in DC for 8 months and lived in chicago for 4 months, he should still be considered a resident for candidacy purposes If I take an overseas contract position, let's say private contractor in Iraq working for the US government, and keep my home in Chicago but I'm not there for 18 months, am I still a resident of Chicago? If not, what's my residence? The hotel in Iraq?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) All of these examples support my argument. Your use of "resides" is where you are physically in a given year, which is what the appellate court ruled. Ok, he left out one example: "I'm currently living in Florida for the winter, but I reside in Chicago most of the year"

What if he was a snowbird with a home in Florida/Arizona that he was at for 4 or 5 months a year, but was in Chicago for 7 or 8? Does that not count as a resident?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) He missed on that huge play to Hester. With Packers marching down the field so much, I don't remember him doing anything else to be considered playing decent. Yeah, he was playing poorly and only got worse with the injury.
