Open Source sometimes makes money... Sometimes it doesn't Having an Open Source model reduces your sources you can make money from the product. In the case of what makerbot sure you may buy his thing now... But because the source is open, a Chinese firm takes the code and makes a perfectly compatible one at half the price? By making your stuff too open it allowed your competitors to get an advantage over you.
Sorry real life isn't like Barney. You need to get the balance of what is good for you and what is good for others.
Those greedy bastards they should have created a company that will go out of business, and when their Family asks them if they can buy food this week, they should sigh and say no, not this week. But I am making tech people with extra income happy by keeping my source open.
No matter how good or poor you do the movie, you will get a slew of people who just hate it and said you have ruin the story for them. Why do you think there is such a large group of these people?
What this debates says to me. We do not have the skills to make our programs look like that, So we will come up with reasons on why it is bad.
Me I actually prefer Windows 8 UI, it actually is simple but nice at the same time. However Apple does seem to be able to keep skeuomorphism at the correct level for the most part. When you try to copy Apples design you will tend to fail because there is so much skill and attention to detail that you will undoubtedly while close still just get it not quite right.
I did this a while back with Virtual Desktop and my Mac, I am sure other VM can do the same thing. I took the VM and I Mapped the USP Device to that virtual machine, then I repeated the process with an other virtual machine. Then I used the laptop keyboard for the primary OS. I in essence had one computer with keyboards(and mice) that controlled 3 OS's at the same time.
I normally only did this with 2. OS X and Virtualized Windows XP. And a seporate monitor plugged in it was like having two computers.
Well the difference is the type of network traffic you will do on your phone vs. traffic you will do on your PC.
On your phone you are more or less just going to check your email, and browse a few pages. On your PC or Laptop, you will be doing hours of browsing and watching movies, and other activities.
I would actually prefer to have G4 and a tethering as my primary internet connection. Because I can take my phone and laptop anywhere and browse. But the current restrictions are too expensive.
Why would it. It is one of the few places where the most private people post honest points of view. (I said honest not correct) the Data you can extract out of slashdot is gold. Especially for dice. Who want to figure out how to get tech people jobs, and want companies to use dice to request for jobs.
I am sorry moderators if you find this fact unpopular but that is the point of Google development problems. Google has a problem of pushing out new and innovative development stuff then a year or so, if it hasn't skyrocketed they will just kill the project.
As a developer you need to choose tools that you know will last, not something that will be here today and gone next week.
While Solid states have some performance increase. Their biggest push is that they are better with battery life, and can handle physical bumps. better. If you are getting a desktop, then you are either in it for raw power. In that case you get a system with a lot more memory, and faster physical drives, if you are not in it for raw power then you are in it for budget reasons. But for the most part on the desktop Solid State doesn't make too much sense.
There is also the factor we don't know how many earth like planets with life exist in our 250 million light year rage. You are assuming that there is only 1.
We are now in a culture where in order to seem smart we feel the need to be negative all the time. All this negativity is counter productive. We need human space flights, to give us some optimism, of yes we can go further, faster, go somewhere where it was considered impossible. The mind set of if we Can Put a Man on the Moon they we can do other things, is a powerful force. Today however we are stuck in a cultural depression where whenever someone says lets try this, we get a slew of people claiming to be experts saying, no you shouldn't it is bad and a waste.
On Slashdot I see a lot of posts, I want to make and sell software but I am afraid I will get sued for patents. Why should you be so afraid of that, do some research to see if there is a patent close to what you are doing, if not go ahead. If you get your product successful and you get sued. You have already got successful, and you and deal with the problem when it arises.
I think they are people with iPhone 3 something and less with the iPhone 4. those with the 4S probably are not rushing to upgrade, except for the must have everything new crowd.
the United States Unions have huge problems and are corrupt. Are Other countries unions better... Well they probably operate differently. However Europe right now is in worse then the US is.
American unions need reform however no one is willing to admit this, they are either Pro Union in all its stupidity or against all unions.
Part of the problem is the fact the Unions hate discussing the issues against them, that means when we are taught by Unioned teachers in school most of the teachers will give a Pro-Union spin to the topic. How Unions gave us the weekend, Ended Child Labor, Made sure we were compensated due to injuries... But not about its historical ties with Organized Crime, or its cases where it worked for its own benefits over the workers.
Unions are funded by each employee paying dues. This means their power = money so the more people they have unioned the more power they have. So they have intensive to get more lower waged employees into the union. This will make deals that will hurt the middle class worker, because they will make more money hiring more under employed people.
I have seen cases where 15 professional were allowed to be canned in order to get 40 new unioned members in. This isn't protecting their workforce, this is strategic planning to maximize revenue. They are doing the same thing the companies are doing just as greedy too.
Ok get a job at a really good company to work for, then lets choose to give a portion of your salary to someone else. Who will need to try to show that your money is useful and put a bunch of new rules that are not needed on a company that already cares for its employees.
Turnover is expensive to a company it costs an average 150% of your salary to replace you. Now if enough people start doing this many of them will realize there is a problem, and try to fix it to keep retention. Others will make it worse, and thus get more turn over finally they cannot be competitive any more.

Open Source sometimes makes money... Sometimes it doesn't
Having an Open Source model reduces your sources you can make money from the product.
In the case of what makerbot sure you may buy his thing now... But because the source is open, a Chinese firm takes the code and makes a perfectly compatible one at half the price? By making your stuff too open it allowed your competitors to get an advantage over you.

Lets show the evil or blundering ways of our opposing political party.
No matter how good or poor you do the movie, you will get a slew of people who just hate it and said you have ruin the story for them.
Why do you think there is such a large group of these people?
I remember back in 2001 and 2002, Slashdot was Hoping for XP to die. Now we Love it?
I come from the Old Sierra Games. If you had a gun you had 1 gun at a time. If you shot someone with that gun chances you will loose the game.

I think the key here will be virtualizing.
I did this a while back with Virtual Desktop and my Mac, I am sure other VM can do the same thing.
I took the VM and I Mapped the USP Device to that virtual machine, then I repeated the process with an other virtual machine. Then I used the laptop keyboard for the primary OS. I in essence had one computer with keyboards(and mice) that controlled 3 OS's at the same time.

Yes, Lets go to the extremism. If some of it is good and a little bit more is better, then all of it must be best.
The trick is to find the right balance that our culture can tolerate.
Well the difference is the type of network traffic you will do on your phone vs. traffic you will do on your PC.
On your phone you are more or less just going to check your email, and browse a few pages. On your PC or Laptop, you will be doing hours of browsing and watching movies, and other activities.

They do it with the Bible, The Torah, and Qur'an. Heck they are willing to make war over an out of context quote.

Yes, I have on in my laptop. It is faster, but... Compared to a desktop with good drives installed there isn't that much of a speed.
For laptops with slower drives Solid Space rocks. For a desktop that already has high speed drives it is less of an issue.
Only on Slashdot a positive email is flagged as a troll.
While Solid states have some performance increase. Their biggest push is that they are better with battery life, and can handle physical bumps. better.

More to the point would we recognize intelligent life even if it was in front of our face.

Exactly, Protection plans are not worth it.
Most of them do not cover your most normal causes of damage. So why pay the money for the random fluke.

Perhaps US unions are broken.

You can always look for an other job, then quit.
