Again, i wonder what their definition of 'application' is? I would think one could create an 'application' that is able to spawn threads running any other application the users chooses. Just create a 'jump panel' listing all the program you'd like to run and just spawn the processes to start those applications from within one process. The netbooks are only single core so performance will take a hit, but at the same time it's a netbook. It's not meant to do anything incredibly useful other than read PDF books, check the internet, or whatever have you. Considering IE8 spawns off a new thread for each tab open as does Chrome and others i'd assume my suggestion would be possible.
Fantastic, so the family a little down on money can get discount sperm to have a family. No doubt it's clearly cheaper to start a family when you're strapped with cash.
I mean the guy did survive not one, but two atomic attacks. So that makes him either the unluckiest guy for being at the most unfortunate places at the most unfortunate time, or the luckiest to have survived both.
At work one day, the day before the release of a product, my hard-drive went out. I kept it on my desk for a few months to serve as a warning to others. It was at this time I discovered that hard driver platters also make great coasters with the often flat rounded top. If you open them up you can also find a great mirror that also doubles as a novelty to look at. Just put the cover back on, just use one screw, and you can keep dust from dirtying your mirror up. Don't get me started on just how hard it is to clean the thing if you get fingerprints on it.
Besides the novelties of the hard-drives a friend of mine made a few trinkets from USB drives. Between the necklace, don't ask, they were used to store games for different consoles in emulator (SNES, Sega, Nintendo) form. A good spray job (red, yellow, green) to distinguish the consoles they were great for short term fun. Since they held enough to be useful might as well make them handy. Along with that if you setup a little net at the desk they double as mini basketballs. I've accidentally run over mine with a car, washed it twice, and they keep trucking. You could even get a USB hub, plug them all in, and use them as tiny hard-drives. Anyway, back to work I go.
I'd probably notice a difference too if I switched from my 1TB drive to a 64gig SSD drive when it comes to IO response. Just like I'd save more money riding a bike compared to driving. Neat tech, but i'll wait till the size/price catches up with conventional drives.
What they could do is create a new beverage company like what is starting in India. An upstart beverage company in India is using cow urine as the key ingredient in their new beverage said to be in direct competition with foreign cola companies like Coke and etc. Ideally we could see a new market spring up with 'organic' label for human pee power drinks. People would buy it because it's organic, and if i've learned anything from the "everybody poops" books it's that everyone also pees. I can see limitless potential. We could get astronaut endorsements because they'd be our 'celebrity' mascots, and of course a target customer since they drink pee in space.
I can see the logo being a recycle sign with a person shadowed in the background. So it's making the direction from the top to bottom, and back up again! It would be glorious, and there are more of us than cows so i can see a unlimited resource with a vast marketability.... I've had too many Bawls drinks today, back to the cube.
It puts the lotion on its skin..... Anyway, couldn't they just have the user stick out their tongue, or make a funny face they don't normally make when creating the biometric comparison data. I'd think it'd be hard to get me to do my fish impression for a photo whereas i'd be more inclined if my funny face was a password. I even think that would liven up the office environment seeing everyone make silly faces in the morning to log into their systems. I guess we can always go back to the finger readers with their play-dough flaw and masking tape hack.
At work we've been calling it Windows Mojave 2.0. I can't imagine that this really isn't just Vista with a fancy new service pack with some desktop UI changes, some additional tools, and multi-touch enabled.
Had the same problem at my university for my senior design project. I worked for just under a year on the project, and according to the university to get credit I had to submit the full source of the project upon turning it in. I didn't like this since I planned to use it to start a business, and by policy of the university they would own full control.
So what i did was simply ask for the professors to give me rights to my project. They signed a waiver, and so long as i outlined the project in detail with providing a compiled working version were ok with that. In the end i turned in a 76 page project report, my compiled code, and some powerpoints.
That was it, they published the report in the library, filed with a CD of my project, and I own complete control of the source. Win win just by asking. Always be paranoid that no matter what you build at the college on their computers is owned by them unless you ask for it. Most are completely willing to give you the credit and sign away the rights if you just bring it to them first.
We're still teaching kids with the same books as those engineers and scientists who took us to the moon. Unfortunately the textbooks are in such disrepair they look as if they were taken to the moon and brought back tucked nicely in a bag full of moon rocks.
At least with computers, with books loaded on them hopefully (not kindle sorry), they'd be able to do work in other classes. That way kids can share text, and be able to not have to haul seriously outdated heavy books room to room. My back is still hunched from doing that for all of high school.
All the CS guys I know have wives who stay at home because they donâ(TM)t need to work due to their husbandâ(TM)s good financial income. Maybe less women are getting these types of degrees because theyâ(TM)re preferring to stay at home, have kids, and donâ(TM)t want to pursue this type of career choice. At least thatâ(TM)s what I see from my side of the cube. I canâ(TM)t blame people for avoiding our career out of fear of having to spend the rest of ones life studying to stay remotely competent, but the money is pretty sweet. Oh well, just one geeks thoughts. My wife is a biology major so go figure.
Hey now. I'm not a racist, and my post was a joke. I personally choose to hate people for who they are, not what color they are. Also someone should have told the black hole guy about super-massive black holes. That'd have been pretty funny, and we did learn a great lesson from that whole ordeal is that there is in fact a white-hole. Anyway, step back, I voted republican. We cool now?
If you're having doubts about whether you should do it then clearly they're not offering you enough money to go through with it. So the real choice is either you don't want to do it, or you need to come back with a dollar amount for your existing work with options to lease/license. In addition to that make sure you get it in contract that you'll be working long term, ie not 'at will' employment, so that once you're done with the neat little addition they don't cut you lose. There is a lot of risk so make sure you come up with your 'price' for the risk, and then negotiate from there. Remember nobody is making you do anything, unless you're in Russia, where contract signs you!
So, um, how is that different than it's always been? I am an IT manager by day and small business CEO by night. I can tell you I haven't run into a company yet that doesn't complain about spending money. It's the nature of business not so much economics. A manager who brings in money looks better than a manager who spends it regardless of the ROI time frame.

Considering that most keyboards are dirtier than toilets it's more like sharing the same toilet without flushing but letting them go first.
Unfortunately when human hair is combined with the penis the effect is a 30% reduction in visible growth.

I hope not. I already hear people saying they 'baracked it' when hacking something together, and I have an overwhelming suspicion they're racists.

No wonder the code quality is so terrible, and they say outsourcing doesn't harm anyone.
That statistic is just ridiculous and I feel that it's . . . hold on my boss is coming
