I read this book, and after was astounded with how true it rings, not because of the money I earned (I don't even invest), but because of the insights it provides into the greediness and irrational nature of the market.
To summarize the book, buys stocks based on what you think their value is, which actually requires doing a value analysis on the stock and buying when it is undervalued, and selling when it is overvalued, as to just getting sucked into the latest get rich quick stock or bond at the height of its balloon, only to have it pop.
Equal amounts of X and anti-X were created in the Big Bang, and then decayed to lighter particles. Each X decayed into either a neutron or two dark-matter particles, called Y and . Every anti-X converted to an anti-neutron or some anti-dark matter.
But the hypothetical X particle would rather decay into ordinary matter than dark matter, so it produced more neutrons than dark matter. Anti-X preferred decaying into anti-dark matter, and so produced more of it.
Bold emphasis added is mine. Does this theory explain why "particle X" would rather decay into ordinary matter? Isn't that begging the question? How is that any different than moving to the larger set of all mass, and just saying "Hypothetical universe X would rather form more ordinary matter than dark matter". I understand they may be foregoing the DiffyQ's that perhaps stand behind their assertions for the word "rather" to provide for the layman, but this premise kills the theory for me unless there exist math/science/evidence/a reason besides the word "rather for this article.
Isn't not allowing them to bill via pay-as-you-go regulation as well? I am not a free-market idealist, I understand that it is not a perfect laissez faire system, but if ISPs started switching to this model, what is to stop an ISP from just doing things as SOP (flat-rate) and making hand over fist when all the streamers, gamers, downloaders jump ship of the ISPs bilking them from the new model?
Unless they all collude and the FTC (with the actual teeth) doesn't step in, or if it is decided that it isn't colluding by the govt. if they all go to this model, well, either way its pretty gay. I think the fact of the matter is big-business (telcos,media) has the politicians too in-debted via contributions for any argument to matter. It will just be a continual decline in the quality of service we as consumers receive, as the rest of the world surpasses us here in the US. Their might be another veil on it, but we can never divorce the pig as long as corporations can donate money to politicos like they currently do.
I have a 1090T in my main home/dev machine. It is excellent. Gaming, video encoding, whatever. Combined with a boot SSD and 6GB of DDR3, couldn't be happier with the system. Beats the hell out of a standard consumer box, and for the $300 I paid for the 1090, it spanks Intel's offerings (at least did at the time, probably still does). I will say though that consumer boxes are catching up pretty quickly, and their price/performance seems to have plummeted enough to compete with independent system builders (still don't get the feel good feeling).
If your building a new box with an X6, make sure the BIOS supports 'em. When I bought mine along with a new motherboard, I didn't check, turned out it only supported quads out of the box. I was in such a rush to see the CPU in action, I went to best-buy, bought a machine that had an X4, put the X4 in my new board so I could flash the board to support X6, and then swapped the CPUs back out. Desperate geek times call for desperate geek measures.
Note: I didn't return the X4 Best Buy machine, but was seriously tempted to:)
On what charge can they seize his bank account? On what charge can they seize any money? This is it people. This is how the globalist react to a threat. I am here in America. It is disgusting me, watching the news each day, radio-talk show host, they all condemn Assuage, sucked into the ad hominem attack that was crafted by the power that be. Check Google Trends, look at 'WikiLeaks', then look at 'Assuage'. The powers that be know how to coddle the masses, give them a drama piece, mention some sex, and they will go wild. The character assassination has worked, not because they took down Assuage with repeated 'turrorist', 'think of da children', 'hes a spy' ramblings, but because to people, Assuage is WikiLeaks. Listen to Eric Holder. Listen to Hillary. Their fucking power struggle for the spread of the plutocracy is threatened by freedom of information, see how violently they are reacting. In my experience, those who are guilty and have something to hide will act the most defensive and get extremely belligerent when somebody tries to expose and correct said bad behavior. Enter the US Government.
Do you fear your government? You should, but it didn't always have to be this way. It used to be that you were the government. There was at least some voice. Now, nameless and faceless pockets full of international money control the puppet. We've seen it in the elections. We go from extreme conservative to extreme democrat president, and its more or less the same. Less freedom. Hell, the latest white-house has honored FOIA request about as 'great' as his predecessor. Oldboss, newboss, that gig.
This is just a rant. But I am sure all of you that come here for the insightful comments (this is not one) are tired of listening to the fucking talking heads in the mainstream media reiterate the same points. 'He's a terrorist', 'He should be charged', 'He this' 'He that'. How about the talk about the fucking cables themselves, how about they talk about how this is similar to the pentagon papers, how about they talk about why the government is reacting so violently to this in light of the fact that these cables are mostly common knowledge amongst the powers that be and anybody that knows anything. I know why they don't talk about it. Because they drink the fucking coolaid. Or maybe they're co-conspirators. Or both. Fuck it. Check off this citizen on another bullshit watch list. Wouldn't surprise me.
This move makes them look like a lapdog shill. The bigger they get, the more they are learning they have to play ball with the politicians and mafiaa in order to please the other plutocratic overlords. Moves like this help them stay out of the legal crosshairs and keep friends in high-places (back scratching deal making kind of places).
Seriously, since when is linking to data crime! It seems like we are seeing more and more stories with asshats lawyers and lobbyist and congressfucks who think this way. God forbid hosting it, but linking to it? Get real. Idiots.
I can't imagine human cloning being that much more difficult biologically speaking than sheep. IANAB, but my guess is that geo-political and fundy-religio restrictions are the only things stopping this sort of activity from greater proliferation. How long until we see countries cloning mass eugenicized armies of the perfect race for warfare, class-control, workforce supply, and nationalistic tendencies? 50 years anybody?
In under-fire situations, I understand the need to reduce casualties. Can this thing move fast enough to really get the job done? I mean, its not like our guys are fighting in speed-ball arenas, with nice and neat little pathways to the downed. Much of the time the terrain is shelled, broken remnants of buildings, cars, misc. crap is scattered everywhere, and tracked-robot friendly areas seem sparse. What about mountain fighting? If I were the Taliban (there I said it, fuck you Medal of Honor), I would target these things, they would stick out like a sore thumb. Its not like 'not shooting medics' has ever really been respected lately (by both sides).
Genitalia Biometrics. TSA would be hitting two birds with one stone. Once they make sure there are no bombs around your pecker (or peckette), they match your pecker against a database of peckerheads. Genitalia are not known to change over time (except my wife's), so they would probably need an If IsWife() { RaiseToleranceThreshold(); }; to prevent false positives (but not HIV positives, still need condoms for that).
I actually owned one of these. It worked really well, but as another poster mentioned the text messaging was its only weak point. Otherwise, your are definitely correct that for one seeking the simplest of the simplistic, it is one that was a sure winner for me.
The menu was tolerable, but navigation is pretty rough at times, and during high-glare or low-light situations it can be rough to read if the incident angle isn't perfect.
I sometimes miss the days by I had a phone that simply made phone calls. Although you can still get simpler phones, it seems like the industry is pushing me to larger, more complicated devices. I enjoy evolving technology, but I just a want a simple phone. The old rubber hardened nextels that you could punt across a football field and then subsequently use without any damage to the phone whatsoever were absolutely awesome.
I am not pining for the days of yore, but some of us want a simple, quality phone. It seems these are the current options:
1 - Smartphone X, slam packed with features, takes awhile to boot, too many menus to do anything
2 - Crappily manufactured with terrible interface cheap-phone Y
3 - There is no option 3.
Does anybody know of any phones that are simple, elegantly designed, work-as-advertised, and constructed with quality, and they aren't made for Barbie or Ken? RAZRs? Mattels?
Will Ellison's douchemonkeyness detriment the people? The community? If his fights are just and his gains are pure and the losses he causes others to incur do not get passed onto the populace, cool. Otherwise, I don't think they're going to have too many friends after the dust settles.
"A computer security researcher says he plans to release code Thursday that could be used to attack some versions of Google's Android phones over the Internet. The attack targets the browser in older, Android 2.1-and-earlier versions of the phones.
How can he be permitted to release something, which when used as intended, does harm to others? This is insane...and he does it "in the light of day!"
Other tools that folks have used to harm others have dual use...but for this code, I do not see any use save for harm. What am I missing?
Either your just whooshing, or you just got whooshed by the submitter and the rest of this community.

Very true. The concept of value investing has been long lost to the market. If any of you are traders, or if you are looking at getting into trading, I recommend checking out the book Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor by Seth A. Klarman.

Good luck finding a copy under $500 dollars. This is a rarity. It was once deemed the most stolen book from libraries in the world by the NYT.
But I may have seen it available on torrents before

It's called dry (probably whoosh) meme humor.
You must be emo.

But how did it make him feel? Stop anthropomorphizing penises, they hate it when you do that!
Whats the difference between could storage and traditional storage? Buzzwords, and possibly their synergy.
You just wrote "Nothing would be more satisfying than a remake of Jedi Knight that let is gamers slice Jar Jar to bits in multiplayer."
Or perhaps 'let' just happens to be the possessor of the gamers.
Oh wait.
The martial arts crowd would be pretty immune to unique profiles, their ears develop pretty homogeneously with their career.

That is classified.
