Musk is no fool. The dates matter far less than not delivering an electric Edsel. Musk may be betting that a big auto manufacturer (not necessarily Toyota) buys Tesla before the end of 2012. Once he has a mainstream luxury vehicle, Tesla will suddenly need a luxury dealer network to support it. That means everything from showrooms to parts warehouses. He doesn't have the capital for that, and there is no reason to build out when others have so much capacity (e.g., Chrysler). If oil stays above $100/barrel for very long, then Tesla's sale may be a much better bet than the 2012 delivery of that car.
"There was no cover-up." "There is definitive proof that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction." "We do not torture." "They started it." Bald-faced lies, the lingua franca of government.
You're right. Right now, Huawei and HP (a.k.a. H3C) are kicking Cisco's butt in China. Cisco is not about to make things worse by pissing the government off.
A Silicon Valley saying. We deal with failure better than success because we see more of it. The trick has always been to move on quickly and try again.

A few days ago it was Colorado, now Virginia. Even the earthquakes are leaving California for more fertile ground. Pretty soon there will be nothing but terremotos and tsunamis out here.
More for integrity, but the service layer architecture is purely based on trust. It turns out, that you can more readily do the most when you have trust, which partly explains the rapid growth of the Internet. However, a bunch of trusting souls make an irresistible target for those who are willing to exploit their trust. I believe the only way to deal with them is to move faster than they can. FTP should have been enhanced to the point that few would use the older version, hence a smaller target. I don't mean secure FTP. I refer to features and functionality. There should be no reason to use HTTP for file transfers, but that is now more common than FTP. Perhaps it has evolved after all, into HTTP.
This solution clearly was impossible in the "good old days." First of all, programmers once had offices with four walls and a real door. Back then, the favorite correctional action was a skunk in the desk's file drawer (yes, they had real desks, too!). Even during the era of cubicles, it would have been impractical to fire over the partitions blindly. Lastly, robotic armaments have come along way toward making corrective actions more selectively punitive.
However, this seems like a Disney version of management. Instead of foam missiles, wiring their chairs with remote controlled tasers would be far more effective. It might even become the basis for a new form of Agile programming. You will laugh at the suggestion until you read that it has been standard practice in China and India.
That's the goal. The whole purported reason for putting traffic cameras at intersections with lots of crashes is to make people more cautious to reduce the crashes..
Accidents increased. When they put up cameras to stop red light runners, people began to suddenly stop as the light turned yellow, only to get rear-ended in the process. That wasn't the goal.
I don't mean to go quantum physics on police work, but this is slashdot. As soon as the police insert themselves into the equation, the social dynamics will change and eventually invalidate their predictions. It will take a while, especially when compared to the orbit of an electron, but it will happen. If they are good, their model will adapt, but it may not work as well in such a dynamic feedback loop.
We create a great country that many cherish, and a few are surprised that it is able to protect itself. We build armies, too, and people are shocked when they go to war. People produce children and much later have difficulty understanding that they have grown up. How strange! Then again, I have trouble understanding these people who have trouble understanding. LOL!

. . . and then divorced you after having the kids.
Enough said.

Better to live large and die young that to live small and suffer long.

Hard to image? Yes. But forty years ago, the largest computing center on earth had 57GB of disc storage.

Apple's stock lost half its value within a year.
. . . that all of us live to see this. We will celebrate /. being 100, too.

They could eliminate a connector and sell REALLY expensive and proprietary headsets, too. Win! Win! for Apple.
The reason our law enforcement is as good as it is, the ones who can't get into the police academy become criminals.

This needs one of these -- http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/08/16/1853241/Floating-Nuclear-Power-Plant-Seized-By-Court -- and a good exit strategy in the event of a tsunami. Black humor aside, these already exist in a much more substantial way -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailiwick_of_Guernsey and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailiwick_of_Jersey. For a while they operated independently of European laws and were havens like Switzerland or the Cayman Islands during their hey days.
Then you will not be able to say the same about this one -- Microsoft will buy RIM in Q4 for $39B (outrageous amount). I've said this before -- http://slashdot.org/submission/1533832/Microsoft-Buys-RIM-in-Q4-for-39B .

Now a personal area network, Ethernet has come a long way. I remember when the cables and transceivers would have weighed as much as the suit.
Wrong tense.
What else has driven technology so hard? Pun intended.
