How about them being yet another one issue party? Other than free schooling and healthcare (at least the Swedish one) their only issue is: free media, no copyright, no patents. How about national defense, financial regulations, taxation, public services etc? Just like the cannabis party or the green party who essentially believe all problems can be solved by a bong or an organic compost heap respectively.;
rectify the testbed lack, like Yoda is it. I agree you need a testbed. Heck run a few vm's on a workstation. If you can't build a vm to test something it shouldn't be deployed IMHO.
It isn't the "symbol of power" IMO it is true projection of power. There is a lot, probably majority, of the world where just having a fighter plane built in the last 50 years will give you air dominance. You can't be sure of having a friendly nation near by that will allow you to base planes out of their runways. An aircraft carrier gives you the few hundred meters of land you need in order to have an operating air force. Sure ship killers can reck your day but at least for now ship killers imply you aren't fighting a war against an enemy that is throwing rocks at each other as their primary weapon. So as long as it isn't China, US, EU, Russia, Aussies etc developed countries you have pretty free rain (think crap holes in africa, middle east, etc).
Why would they say this? Why not just say we are only supporting this chip for windows? As meaned x86 means linux either will or it will be trivial to port. This is almost as good as "why would anyone need more than 64k of ram?" Heck if you said you had an electric razor that wouldn't run linux that would just be a challenge to the community not a statement of "perfect tense" fact.
A corporation can continue to exist after you die. A sole proprietorship ends when you die. If you are only ever going to do consulting work by yourself it might not matter much to you but if you are going to have partners etc it is worth looking into.
Not sure how it would work but I suspect a corporation would also protect your assets should you go through a divorce. If you don't own the business directly you can play some games I think where your salary gets paid after money gets retained by the business. You'd have to split your stake in the business if ordered but at least the business operating costs would get paid before distribution to the two of you, vs wife getting her half of the revenue regardless of the business investments that are needed to grow the company.
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station, how many launches to ISS from NASA rockets? 0. How many (at least of the 9 that have links explaining what they have) are US? 1 spaceX resupply and 1 US astronaut (launched of course by someone else's rocket). Payloads were all from other countries as far as I noticed.
I seem to recall from a physics experiment I did in university that the angular resolution of the eye is roughly translated at 1mm per meter distance. 10ft = ~3m. So you'd have at 1080 (assuming the 10ft is the height that you are projecting to) about 3mm per pixel. Visible at about 3m depending how good your eyes are. Of course this is "moving pictures" too not a static text/desktop display like typical computer use so will you notice the pixels quick enough before they become something else? Not sure how quickly our eyes can switch colors and still tell that it is in the same physical location down to the limit of resolution. Anyways 6" sounds about right for a clear 1080p not being good enough at a 10' projection.
PRL is also used for smaller sort of interim reports. I have a PRL article as an undergrad, might have a high impact factor but I don't think I'm that good (wouldn't have landed a Nature for example). The impact factor might be more a factor of it being shorter articles so something you are moderately interested in you'll read where as you wouldn't dust off a Phys. Rev. B article unless you are interested in the area it focuses on (condensed matter). I'm just speculating but I'd imagine there will be enough spin off articles, and even just "we found God now what?" opinion pieces to land the cover of Nature, Science, etc.
My thinking though is the call centre operators should be shamed right out of business. Like the handymen that you hear of using window calking instead of taping and mudding drywall and such. If you can't do the job you shouldn't be in business. (either the company or the individual either way). I particularly love it when the $1000 option is being very polite but not listening/understanding you or understanding you but playing dumb so they can try to push a sale. "Would you like a new cellphone kind sir?", "No thanks", "Oh, I see yes sir. That is great what color would you like?"
I'm saying it isn't a choice between feeding your people or doing scientific research, in the case of Iran, India etc it is the choice between feeding your people or spending the next 30 years getting caught up before you can do anything note worthy. It isn't a matter of this years foodbank budget going to this years attempt at discovery, it is this years and the next 30 going to maybe one day doing something useful... maybe.
I don't think it matters how much space we have it is just a matter of time. As long as people think it is their god given right to have greater than replacement level children we'll gradually fill any space we have. That isn't even accounting for the fact that there is probably a billion+ people stuck living in apartments because that is all they can afford near a city where they can find work. If we have more land everything might just become the suburbs and people will use a huge amount more space and resources.
Am I the only one that finds it funny that in a country with a bunch of cows people are afraid to eat them? I suspect is was originally just a matter of not having enough pasture land back in the day the made someone say they are holy so you can't raise and kill them. But if they are there... mmm steak.
Maybe now that the US is largely out of the space business India has a chance but did anyone in India really think they had a chance of doing ground breaking space work? Most of these "me too" countries just repeat the space race from 50 years ago: hey look we got a guy in space, we've orbited, we've shot something at the moon etc. A country that can't figure out that a call centre needs to be staffed by people that speak english well enough to be understood can't really expect much for cutting edge space work IMHO. (only somewhat joking)
say they will sue? The article says "Some developers". While Apple is notorious for being pretty closed lets not accuse them of something until they do it THEN we can have the burn a turtleneck day party.
Apple likely made more on OS X than Vista (say 10.4->10.6 or so being the era in question) since people that wanted OS X had to buy hardware from Apple too which they make buckets of money on. Different business model entirely is it shocking that a mid to high end hardware manufacturer sells fewer units than the company that gets their software pre-bundled with everything from low end to top end systems?
Apple has a good model for a hardware company they get profit margin based on exclusivity, MS gets it because of the huge markups of software industry in general. Dell, HP and the like: "we'll make oddles of money buy selling 10's of B of stuff at 5-10% margins" yeah that sounds like a winner.
You'd only want parts of windows I'd think since a large part of the OS is helper apps and dialogs and such that most people don't ever use (but people use a different subset so they still are in the box because a large group really really wants it). Better core OS + frequent apps IMHO.
Beat me to it. Yeah don't get what windows has to do with this. If anything its very aggressive memory management (Ie cache everything just in case) is a drawback because you'd need more of this stuff to keep your whole resident memory footprint.
Proof is in the code: if the code is flawless and reads like a great programming book (Ie grab a random function and it would be the how to example) you got a rock star. If it takes three guys on your team standing around drawing flow diagrams to figure out what happens when a single button is pressed and you find your self with lots of boxes that say "magic happens" you got a cowboy. Both got the job done which is fine if you never need to change, find bugs etc in the code. But other than an app at a 5 person company (ie. few well known users) used to order the Friday pizza (ie. an unimportant solution) when does that ever happen?
Perhaps you are more worried about defending against ginger stereotypes to worry about the canuck ones, and too busy running to have time to make fun of the frenchies:) Funny how us canucks come out of the wood work whenever/. mentions canuckistan, dodododo (horn, yeah I failed music class):)
Argh, the bloody hoosers took our sticky. Gord what are you going to do aboot this? I think we need to get the RCMP and launch our non-nuclear option. Perhaps a sternly written letter from the gov general will do it.
P.S. I find it funny that the stereotype of us canadians is non-angry. We don't get angry about a lot of stupid things and can take jokes even about different sub-groups in our country (at least most people). But still we are the country that beats the shit out of each other on ice from the age of 5 on for sport. So it isn't exactly like everything is dealt with with a nice calm chat.
This is a much better way for them to do it I think. They don't want people to by a crappy device compared to what they can get at the same price point a couple weeks later. They are already not making a lot (or any depending on which tech news site you believe) on the device so dropping the thing to a budget model doesn't make sense. If the body or screen or something is in short supply why use it to make the old device when you need to ramp up for the new one? I think it is perfectly fine for a company to say "we aren't going to screw you over so sorry you can't buy this device this week. See you in a couple weeks with a more awesome device".
