A problem is that in Marin County there just are not many spaces for low to moderate income families. It causes a lot of issues, and people have tried to solve it but there's just too much NIMBY going on.
I don't think it's only because he wants to annoy his neighbors that he is doing this.
The problem is basically one of not accepting proper editing. Editors exist for a reason. Director's cuts are almost always bad because it cuts out the reality filter that editors provide.
I say start with a big dose of nitrous oxide, you can get that without going through a pharmaceutical company. After that does use the nitrogen, CO2, etc.
The other alternative is just to stop executions. It's not like everyone in the state will turn into hippies over night if this happens. Also highly unlikely for the crime rate to rise, as the death penalty does not seem to be working at all as a deterrent, so it's only being kept around as a political tool.
Has Microsoft ever offered any apologies for its past evils? If not, then why should anyone trust them now? If someone goes and trusts a company that has been well proven to be untrustworthy in the past, and another person avoids them awaiting evidence of remorse and reform, then which one is the idiot?
Being a brain in a jar is so much more convenient though. No more itchy spots between the shoulder blades that you can't reach, no need to interrupt your MMO raid to go poop, no more getting kicked in the nads, no need to worry about bad hair days. Just relax in the soothing warm gel.
I did a free weekend on it, but ultimately it did seem to get a bit old. It's designed for a cooperative team but I don't have many friends who play games (and even I'm not a big fan of shooters) and I definitely won't get a randomly picked team from online strangers who like to trash talk and teabag everything. On the other hand it didn't seem as lame as most generic shooters.
The game industry as a whole has more hype than reality. Being a game dev is usually a pretty crappy job as there is always at least one unreasonable deadline coming up soon. The profits are hit or miss, and there are many more misses than hits, so job security is extremely low. The big well known names in game design are very often changing companies. Investments in games companies are very risky. Game companies rise and fall and are generally short lived, you often have several game related companies partnering together (studio A outsources some parts to studio B and then uses publisher C to provide support and polishing, then you sell your soul to distributor D and its online DRM scheme, and somewhere there's megacorp E that controls your IP and console maker F who wants a cut of your profits).
And yet you still see people fresh out of school who think this is going to be their dream job.
It's more of a concept than an actual hard and fast definition. A company with a solid reputation, whether or not that reputation is earned, plus high production values, plus the ability to take on new projects. In practice it means that company had enough marketing or visibility that people outside of the small niche have heard of them. Ie, Borderlands is a huge franchise thus 2K as the producer becomes AAA since their logo is prominently visible.
Just like "Indie" it is a vague term that's hard to pin down and unrelated to the origins of the term. If an indie game is independent, that what is it independent from, the AAA studios? Meaning every game is either AAA or indie?
Game companies have been shrinking too. Eidos Montreal shut down by the mother ship, too expensive to make expensive games. And when they complain about not getting tax breaks then it's clear that the market is a bit screwed up, an industry should not have to rely upon special concessions that no one else gets in order to survive.
Much of the game industry has become like Hollywood. So expensive that they must guarantee a blockbuster or else. Investors place demands that neither the developers nor the consumers want. So you end up with remakes of the same gameplay over and over. The stupid shooter on rails, extended cut scenes, money spent on voice acting for lame plots, exclusivity deals for consoles, etc.
Meanwhile, some interesting stuff comes out of kickstarted games. Those seem to be designed to please the fans rather than the corporate suits, and because that's where much of the money is coming from it tends to please the older fans rather than kids so you see remakes of older styles to appeal to nostalgia. Ie, Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, Tides of Numera, all much more interesting than yet another kiddie shooter or a jrpg soap opera.
People like to hire others like them, it's sort of a natural occurence. However it's illegal in many places.
I remember one multinational company where we had offices in California, and one Indian woman applied for an internal job and was rejected because she did not speak Vietnamese and thus wouldn't fit in with the small QA group. I told her to take the case straight to HR because that was blatantly against all company policies, and our official language for communications had always been English and all of the rest of the buildings all spoke English. But she did not want to cause a scene and just accepted it. I know that if management had heard of this case that they would have been shown the door before the day was out. The ultimate reason for this was certainly that the group was all Vietnamese, they were very comfortable never talking to anyone outside of the insular clique, and did not want anyone coming in that make them uncomfortable. But it ignored the fact that any one of them could be transfered at any time or that they were deliberately ignoring company rules and the law.
Things like this just open the door for more discrimination, as in we won't hire old people because they just don't understand modern memes, black people will stand out too much in the company photos, women are going to be taking off time to get married or have babies, etc. So you sort of need to have laws to enforce non discrimination or it takes over due to human nature and the built in us-versus-them instinct.
What do they imply by "even unskilled people" can hack them. Do they think it's ok for skilled professionals to be able to hack these machines? Those are the ones to worry about.
These need power though. Sure, a small as a mote of sand, but the battery will be relatively very large. Watch battery sized or larger most likely. And absolutely not a consumer toy that you plug in to recharge every night.
Microsoft only bought one portion, the mobile phones division.
However I am a bit confused as the original Nokia Networks was merged with a Siemen's division to become Nokia Siemens Networks, an independent company (though certainly with a lot of shared board members).
I do the same. Turns out they only require 18 in a row to be unique:-) Though the rest of the requirements aren't so rigid, though needing to pick a new one every two to three months is ridiculous. That sort of guarantees that someone writes it down or uses a pattern.
I always find it a bit amusing that when the war of ideas starts going badly for one side that the hackers rise up to to fight, as if attacks on the other side's computers will actually do anything useful except make you look even worse.
And so that forgives the crimes of the occupiers? Stealing isn't suddenly made all right and good just because you steal from someone who isn't a saint. With logic like that you could use it to justify invading anyone as long as you get cheaper pineapples/bananas/oil/diamonds/beaver skins/medical schools/maple syrup.
Sometimes I worry in the US that the level of jingoist patriotism may rise up to that level again so that citizens feel compelled to deny the sins of the past.
"No, we didn't kill of the native Americans, it was the Spaniards! The civil war was about issues of limited and local government, and had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery. We shipped people to internment camps for their own protection. We never make a mistake with the death penalty."
It's much simpler just to admit to mistakes and give out apologies earlier than later. Look at the difference today between Germany and Japan. Germany was open and honest about war crimes and today it is trusted by its neighbors. Whereas Japan still has not come out with unambiguous apologies about Nanking, comfort women, Yasukuni shrine, etc, those are very sensitive political issues that politicians shy away from, and so Japan's neighbors continue to distrust it.
Turkey is basically taking the national pride stance. Their national hero is Ataturk, and he did no wrong.
Well yes, normally you'd keep related functionality in the same task. In many RTOS environments everything's in a task anyway, it's the normal way to do things. There's isn't necessarily much synchronization of state, as each task maintains its own state (you don't need the file system's latest state in order to interact with it).
The distinction between kernel and application is blurred in many embedded systems. Similarly, the difference between a microkernel and a monolithic kernel can get blurred as a mono kernel may have kernel threads, or a micro kernel may still have a core kernel that controls access to basic hardware functions. Though you rarely see people use monolithic kernels in smaller embedded systems, there's significant overhead there, but monolithic starts being used when the system gets larger or there's less need for real time.
I wouldn't say minix is a good example here, performance wise, as it's intended primarily to be an educational tool.

That cost isn't just per home, but also for the infrastructure needed to create a neighborhood: roads, water, electricity, etc.

And in the future we may be able to reverse this decomposition and use all these corpsicles are slave labor for the rich and powerful.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
