That and your power usage statistics for other then billing isn't really that good of an indicator.
Wow at 10:00 on a saturday you are using a lot of energy... You could be... Running the dryer for laundry, Cooking a large meal for lunch for a party. Exercising on your treadmill. Arch-welding some metal together... or there is low power usage. You could be Gone for the day, Just siting down and reading a book that you haven't been able to do in a while. Sick with a headache, Just have everything turned off, for the sake you trying to save money. Over slept...
Power usage data is very aggregate information. Very difficult to make any good assumptions about it. As for privacy we never really had good privacy any ways. Back in them old days when you went to the country store the manager knew everything you purchased, and why you purchased it. It was considered friendly service. Heck when communities were tight everyone knows what everyone else is doing. Today we have more aggregate information about our lives which actually allows us to be more private, the downside is that the aggregate is stored for a long time allowing it to come back and haunt us.
Well you take the wall paper down before you begin demolition. Very rairly do they just go and knock down a house without making sure it will go down easy and safely. Things like Disconnecting electricity, Fuel lines, turn off the plumbing.... Remove any thing that could be harmful to people or equipment. So I figure they will just take down the wallpaper.
I think the real issue of the lawsuit as it parodies the iPhones "There is an App for that" commercials. But they can't do anything legally about parodies, but the fact that Verizon directly attacked AT&T and used still misleading truth, as it only showed 3G coverage which Verizon does have better service area. But it is different then from voice service or even other formats for digital transmission such as EDGE. Does mislead the customer to think if they go with AT&T that they will have a lot more places where their iPhone just won't work. So that is where AT&T had its chance. But I think for the most part they just hated Verizon parody of the iPhone adds as Apple and AT&T probably spent a lot of money for creating there is an App for that commericals and Verizon just stole their catch phrase and made it for their company.
Posting vulgarities really isn't a big no-no but it is considered unprofessional. Especially that it was an anonymous post. He was doing it when no kids were watching him do it. If left quite no one would have gotten hurt. A most he should have a warning/stern talking to. I am sorry but the children hear much worse with their own communication with each other even back in them good old days before internet.
1920's Sound has Ruined movies, they are so in your face you can't enjoy the movie. 1940's Color has Ruined Movies, they are so in you face you can't enjoy the movie. 1960's Elaborate Costumes have Ruined moves.... 1980's Animtronics... 2000 CGI...
It is just a new toy that its use hasn't been fully realized yet. And excuse to hate something new. They made bad movies in the past and they will do so in the future. It is not CGI but bad use of it. Jar-Jar was a stupid character who wasn't needed especially as they kept the droids. Having him as not a CGI character wouldn't make him any better.
Because we like a villain who we can complain about all of our problems. Companies when they are in a crunch they are in a position to reorganize or die. The Government doesn't ever reorganize, if they do there is so many people who get pissed off they they don't get elected so they are punished for doing the right thing.
But I want to be frozen and for some odd reason put in a space craft and set adrift for centuries. Then finally picked up by a passing earth space craft and unfrozen by a well meaning android and a meddling doctor. Just in time to act like a complete jerk while they are in the middle of sensitive negations with a violent species of aliens who have a major military power.
Actually a lot of software written back then was designed for crap TVs. You run these programs say a PC program now you see that it is in 640x200 b&w images. While at the time it had a bunch of colors, at a lower resolution. They took into account that the old TVs couldn't handle 640 width however it will still send the signal so only a few phosphors will get hit in a pixel thus creating color. Or even when we get further along where we got actual computer monitors the old systems had such a low DPI that made EGA look like really good graphics, as the Low DPI rounded the pixels slightly and if you dithered the pixels they will actually blend and create new colors to the eye... Then when people got the newer higher DPI monitors those EGA games began to look very blocky, thus needing VGA with more colors to make the games have better graphics. A normal 320x200 pixel (normal resolution) today on an average monitor will take 6x6 pixels or more on the screen to preserve the same size.
Actually the character Sulu wasn't gay (he had a wife and kids, in the animated series when he was in "hell" he got magical powers and could make anything he want appear, so he made a hot babe appear". the actor who portrayed Sulu was, You know there is a difference between the two.
For one there are more women then men. And the idea that is because of chances men will get killed in war is really simple. It would seem to be that more women die from giving birth then men died from war. As well naturally men can keep the population going with a smaller ratio as 1 man can in theory impregnate many women.
Kids playing with dolls and cross dressing a cultural and when the kids are very young these cultural differences are well established in them. Especially with modern culture. Were say 50 years ago a father may legally spank or punish his boy for dressing up for as a girl or at least discourage the activity. Today we more or less let it pass as it is just considered the kid playing and we know it will not effect the overall development of the child as he learn the cultural norms.
This seems more like the Psutoscience to make people panic about the environment because they think the only way we can save the environment is to spread a lot of lies and make people even more irrational then they all ready are.
Well lets think for a 2D black hole. As 3d Ones are hard to picture in your head. So Imagine a plane of streachy rubber. That will represent normal space time. Then you take 2 objects say a bowling ball and a pin needle. You put the bowling ball down its massive weight has distored space time and made a large hole where an object say Rowling a marble across the plain when approaching the bowling ball would fall in the well. Next you take a pin needle you create a very small hole with the same angles as the bowling ball but much smaller you take that marble and role it its gravity force will either roll right over it and not causing a major problem or attract the smaller pins gravitational force and just make the marble just a little bit more massive but it wouldn't create a black hole.
Island maps. Against a Protost with cannons bordering the island 3 rows deep. Most human players can get past that. For the computer it always kept me safe. Of course there was one time I played stricly defensive and have the entire island filled with cannons. It took a good player 45 minutes to get to me. (and killed a medium level player) who was helping.
An other blood bath was a map No Gas. Where there was a river and a small bridge to cross. All with a bunch of cannons around them. I have seen only one person to get past that and it was bloody very bloody.
Even if all the digital data is encrypted. The hardware/software will unencrypted the data right before it goes to the components that displays the information. A little tap from the chip and you have a TV that will make digital copies of your movies. Once one person has the digital copy within 24 hours anyone who wants it can get it.
I remember right before the Core Duels came out AMD was the Big Name as it made chips that performed better then Intel. So many companies were switching to AMD. Then... the Core Duo and the Core 2 Duo came out which were better chips and companies switched back. If AMD had better chips then Intel couldn't bully the Dells as a good replacement is available and then Intel would be back to begging for business.
But... If you disagree with the experts it means the experts are part of the conspiracy. Or they their bias is politically motivated. Because everyone has to be a Democrat or a Republican. There is no way some one can be both Pro-Life and Support tighter regulations on financial companies.
About 1/2 of the Population has below average intelligence. This half has a hard time realizing that people are not always pigeon hole into a group, there are only 2 sides to a problem. Meaning if they disagree with you then you must be their opponent.
I remember my Dad Yelling at the TV for whenever those Darn Democrats did A n y t h i n g . And if the news covered too much positive that those darn Democrats did he would change the channel. Hence why like only watches Fox news now... However with CNN just posting the comments from other people it allows think their views have meaning and they may get 2 seconds of fame if they actually read them on the air. They will probably still stick to the station and watch it.
Just like in the old Roman Days right before the collapse lets hide all the problems of the world and give them a good show. As long as they are kept entertained they wont revolt.
I would hate to have you as a boss. Oh you had a bug in you code... YOUR FIRRREED! Oh you tried to come up with a creative name that was taken by some obscure language... YOUR FIRRREED! When brain storming for ideas in the meeting you idea that we all liked had a problem... YOUR FIRREED!
I bet you work for the government or something. People make mistakes. Googling for GO will lead to a lot of results and people know that and Go is used for a lot of help support too. So they probably realized it is such a common word finding a language like it will be like a needle in a haystack. Sure google searches now will probably bring you better results however now that it is news it would effect the Google search criteria.
Unless there was something about the Atom support that was just naturally broken with the update. Oh this will break Atom support however it will boost performance 10%. Well we don't sell any systems with the Atom processors so lets do it.
So you are saying Open Source developers have no respect for the law they disagree with. Because they don't like the rules they can break them. However if someone doesn't like your rules there will be hell to pay.
Patents on software isn't immoral. However I feel the policy is way to open allowing many stupid obvious patents that any developer will come up with when faced with that problem. But there are some Technology that can be done with software that really is truly ingenious and took the designers many years and a lot of money. After spending all that time and money do you really want someone to just take their ideas and push it out without compensating them for their hard work. This isn't about greed, this is about getting your reward for your risk. If it is only risk and the only reward is perhaps a tiny footnote in an academic journal. Will you really work hard for these new ideas? You need to remember a lot of this work is a lot of work that is no fun boring and a lot of frustration, they should be allowed to have a good first mover advantage with their ideas they worked so hard to create.
Locking up your source code isn't immoral. For one it is just freaking computer instructions, which will probably won't work at all in 20 years, in the grand scheme of things open source code isn't really that big of a deal, with the exceptions of some of the big projects Apache and Linux come to mind. However for the most part the fact that it is open or closed source is no real big deal, because the reason people get software is to solve a problem they have, if there is none available to solve their problem then they make it themselves. For most companies if they will have to do major changes to an Open Source project to make it work they might as well make it from scratch sure it may cost a little more but they have the rights to their effort and investment. Secondly life is a competition (a sad but true face of life) there is a balance on what you should share and what you should keep private. If you make you code closed you can always open it later, if you make your code open you can never close it, so logically you should keep you code closed unless you have a compelling reason to open it.
open source project have violations too. Using someones patented ideas, calling a library that isn't GNU compatible. The program is performing a function that is illegal such as DRM disabling. That is why you need to be civil with dealing with people for violations. As chances are you have made a mistake and created a violation yourself.
Oddly enough most companies even the Evil Microsoft will much rather fix the problem without having to fight it legally, and resolve the problem civilly. When you pre-poster aggressive towards your opponent they will do the same. And if you are Not for Profit organization and you opponent is a big multi-national company, you are going to be in for a big fight where if you were just to be polite and civil about it chances are you will get your objectives, they will quietly fix their problems and save face. Most of the time these GPL violations are not done deliberately but the GPL is a strict license and for a big company you will have people putting in things that they didn't even realize was wrong. Or worse say some GPL Code was cut as a segment for a help forum and was used from that. So yes they violated the code, they probably didn't mean too, if you are nice to them they will probably fix it. If you go all out and make yourself aggressive they will be aggressive too, and put you in a case even if you win you loose.
