Remember that if you are a programmer and your program goes into production and it fails within the first 5 minutes when you import the data because you code fails on O'Connor. Sure any programmer with his salt knows how to fix it and should have though about it before hand... However things slip threw the cracks, as you are focusing on proof of concepts, then by the time you got the proof of concept working you were behind schedule and never really went back and looked at your data inputs (for that one routine). Then it goes out and you end up looking like an idiot. Mistakes happen, most mistakes that cause the biggest problems are the ones that are easiest to solve, and are often just overlooked mistakes. Because Oxygen system wasn't cutting edge, I am willing to bet no one stressed out too much over it, as it was a piece of cake issue. Well it got overlooked and it cost peoples lives (which is much worse then looking like an idiot). But where was the mistake.... Lets go back to the code example. Sure you are to blame because you coded it, but QA should have tested common names with special characters, management should have adjusted their project plan because you were having issues getting some proof of concepts working... Mistakes even big ones really isn't any ones problem but usually due to a full breakdown in the organization.
So far Apple isn't doing much to stop Google from doing this. But Apple got the first mover advantage. So Google has some serious catching up. Google is no wimp too.
The biggest company that has the most money can do more then then smaller company with less money. I am sorry that is the fact of life. It isn't evil or unfair. Apple earned their money by selling products people wanted to buy. People who didn't want their products didn't buy them.
We will be able to access health care remotely, from just about anywhere in the world.
Not even close</i> We can do it. It is just that health care organizations are so pressured to cut costs that they do won't implement unless the government is going to fund them or there is a direct effect to the bottom line. We have technologies and standards to do this ICD-10, SNOMED-CT, CDA/CCD, HL7. Already Radiology results are being shipped across the world to be analysed by radiologist during off hours. We even have vendors trying to push technology for virtual Dr. visits. But right now Insurance companies are not paying for them. We have the technology, the standards. We also have a bunch of political finger pointing at everyone blaming each other why heal care is so expensive.
<i>Real-time speech translation—once a vision only in science fiction—will become the norm.

Some really good advancements. It isn't a Star Trek Universal translator but we are getting there. Once mobile processors get to the right speed it will be more useful.
<i>There will be a 3D Internet.
Nope</i>
What z-index css still doesn't work?
<i>Technologies the size of a few atoms will address areas of environmental importance.
Wow, not even sure what the fuck that was SUPPOSED to be about. Nanotech maybe??</i>
Yea Nanotech why not.
<i>Our mobile phones will start to read our minds.
God help us.</i>
There are some kids toys that are doing this right now. I think the smart phone actually doing it is an issue of fashion then technical ability.
As someone who grew up in the farm... I don't have issues with that. We have gotten so squeamish about food, we should know where you food comes from. Edible Mushrooms you get at the store are grown in manure. Our Tomato Sauce from a jar or a can come from storage containers that have stored the tomatoes for up to 3 years. The FDA allows a particular percentage that is greater then 0% of bugs dead bugs to be found and processed in food...
If you get grossed out because of your food, then most likely you don't know much about it. If you grow up on a farm and see how your food is produces and made from what and how... You have respect for it, you know to clean it before hand, and how to properly prepare it.
I eat meat, I know it comes from animals, and most of these animals have a distinct personality and if they weren't going to be food I could be friends with it, and have it as a loving pet. When I eat meat I don't joy over the fact that I am eating a dead animal, I take into consideration that this animal has died for my sustenance (and hence why I don't often wast meet).
You are working under the impression that evolution works optimally. It doesn't evolution usually reaches a good enough state. It may be the case the reason why mice are not stronger is that the ones who were stronger didn't have any better chances then the ones who weren't or their extra bulk end up either being unattractive to the opposite sex or they were too strong and created damage to their mate. Or just just because the extra strength didn't help much more overall so his genes kinda just got washed out over time.
A company like BT has some R&D going and and they create patents. Now BT needs to defend it IP rights. So it will. Now if they win or lose isn't as much the issue (they would prefer if they win) but the fact they are defining their IP rights means other companies won't just go and blindly use their other patents without giving them any credit.
The way this stuff usually turns out is the companies agree to trade patents or something else and everyone for the most part is happy.
If you don't ask then you probably shouldn't be moving up.
The Stereotypical PHB are usually from people who just talk their way up, without proving themselves and do political tricks to get themselves up, they don't care what it takes to be a good manager, they just want the power to control people.
Most of the people who really fit the in PHB category are not MBA's or executives but Middle managers who act like they are.
What is wrong with dashboards? They are fun to program (Compared to the other CRUD that you normally need to do), Management are human too and do not have the time to analyse all the data so dashboards give them a quick view on what is going on. Now the smart managers will realize that these dashboards are mathematical models and you will still need to manage beyond that, some of those red spots are not so bad they are red for a reason, as well some of those in green may actually be more of an issue then the dashboard show. The stupid manager will live on the dashboard and see it as the truth and manage strictly off of it. That is where problems occurred.
Why do you say that. Normally the problem with executives is they do not know what is going on in modern technology. Getting some one who has been working with tech into this position is usually good news. Because they may be able to bring some of the changes the department was looking for.
However you can't expect too much. As a tech goes into leadership he has to look at the organization differently. it is no Longer IT and your project is the only concern, there is a whole slew of concerns and actually most IT staff for the most part is self managing, and you need to make sure IT is playing the same game as everyone else.
In it when we say a technology is dead, it doesn't mean there isn't anyone selling new products. But more to the fact that public interest is rapidly declining.
The mainframe is dead but IBM is still making them and selling them too
That is why GPL is declining. The point of TFA is the decline in open source. The GPL is too strict, so people don't use it so it is declining. Back in the 90s and early 2000's GPL was growing and there were a lot of big names giving it credit and using it. A good set of major GPL projects came out.
Then the dredded TiVo came out. Actually a lot of people and hackers liked it, but it found a loophole in the GPL. So GPL 3 came to fix that. The part that was worse was they made they closed the loophole on consumer apps but not on enterprise apps. (so IBM can still give their software upgrades to improve their mainframes) that put a bad taiste in my mouth and smelt like corruption. And now when I am at work I make sure none of our software uses GPL in the case we want to do something with it later on.
Because it runs fast and seems to install on PC with strict security settings. That and the people who promote it probably doesn't give the free software virtue speach.
Let's not let logic get in the way of "mathitized" activism. We no longer see it important to teach people real math so the group who can come up with MaGiCaL numbers must be right.
We have a bitterly divided congress. There was two issues that both sides wanted (avoid government shutdown and keep payroll tax decrease) but they need to show their constituents that they are going to stand firm and not let the other side gets its way. SOPA isn't really a big name law outside the geek, so they just wanted to get the laws passed that will imeadeatly help their representive people.
We still want to kill the bad guys. Better tech helps us reduce the good guys we need to kill to get to the bad guys.
Fist to Fist Fighting. Ill punch you, if I am lucky I will do more damage to you then you will do to me. Using the club, sward, pull-arm. I can hit you without injuring myself. The Arrow and Guns. I will be able to hit you without being in range of you hitting me back.... The Bomb I can hit you and all your allies without me being near you.
now that we mastered killing your enemy we are now focusing on tools were we can save our friends and civilians who are not a threat.
Yes, but digital manipulation ban isn't really an answer. I mean the cosmetics companies can make adds and show these people without using any of their stuff. Also it is applied by professional makeup attest. Using the correct lighting and angles to hide imperfections. Find a skinny girl (one with anorexia will work best because they are already a skeleton, you can always build up not down) Pad up the right places and put layers of makeup and there you have an unrealistic image of the cultures version of a beautiful woman used to sell a product.
Most religions are not bad. Christianity is a good religion too. The problem is bad people. Whatever their religion will do bad things and will use whatever is in their bag to justify doing bad things.
It isn't that Western religions are worse, it is the way that Western People tend to think about the world. Americans and Western Europeans tend to view the world with more absolutes. There are good people they are bad people. The rule says this then that is they way it should be followed, western rules are considered more of a restriction. Other areas of the world even if they follow Western Religions tend to take a look at these rules differently. For example... Lets take the concept "Premarital Sex". Now western cultures see this as an edict saying Premarital Sex is Bad and should be abstained from breaking of the rule WILL cause you to be in trouble with God and your community. Now non-western ideas will see this as Premarital Sex can cause problems and could lead you from a path of goodness, but if it happens it doesn't mean you need to be punished but you should keep careful as it could distract you from living a life a good person.
A lot of stuff in Christianity if people actually read the bible for enlightenment and not hunt and peck to prove their own view on why they are justified to be a jerk, will see a lot of Jesus teaching was about not letting organized religious rules to be used as an excuse to be bad to people. Where he was blessing and working with what the established religion of the time considered people who were hated by God. Bill Collectors, Prostitutes, Common Labors, Gentiles, Samaritans... and he had sharp words for those who the community considered Holy (Priests, Wealthy Land owners...)
Us westerners are a violent culture and have been before we got these religions.
Now we have Political Extremists who are willing to kill because others don't agree with their political ideology. We even have some people in the Open Source movement who disagree with having data closed and will illegally break in and take source code and post it because their ideology is that all code should be free and open, granted this isn't as bad as war and violence but it is taking a step where you break the law and sometimes cause harm just to expand your idology, and punish those who do not follow your view.
If we got rid of belief in religion, say some amazing proof that god cannot exist that is obvious to everyone, that their beliefs was wrong. After a slew of people killing themselves of disillusionment and knowing there will not be a heaven or hell to take judgement for their actions. Wars and battles will still go on, like they did in the past, because people are jerks and will use whatever excuse they can think of to prove their point.
Freeway speed limit is 65 MHP Minimum Speed Limit is 45 MPH. Go to the next lane, pass then get back in your lane... It really isn't that big of a deal. People will tend to drive at speeds that they feel is safe. Some times I am over the speed limit, other times I am under, because the posted speed limit doesn't feel safe for me to drive. The good driver will do what they feel is safe.
The speed limit is a posting of the Maximum speed you should go, not the minimum. Depending on area enforcement tends to give some leeway (5-15 mph above the limit, to account for inaccuracy in the cars speedometers) But that is just to not overflow the courts with such excuses. And there is enough people going well above them for the courts to make their money.
I would consider myself an average driver. There are times even when not distracted with a phone or other device I do something stupid that I realize I shouldn't have. But knowing that I am fallible I try to give myself a good distance away from other cars. Which gives me time to stop if something happens and my mind isn't as connected to driving as it should.
But I have rid with people who call themselves good drivers, they are tailgating and swerving around people trying to drive safely and complain about them all the way.
In other words if you have the brain power to be good at it, you are smart enough to know that you shouldn't do it. As you can feel your normal attention drain while trying to multi-task.
Being that a single aircraft carrier is more powerful then most countries militarilies. It is a huge status symbol in your region that you have one, and countries will think twice before going directly with a country with an aircraft carrier. The world know that China isn't as offensive like the U.S. is however China is big and a lot of people and they need to show the world that.
If that was the Case what about... Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda Argentina and Armenia Then after Australia we have... Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana.
I think it is about greatest area with lower population.
