I am shocked no one has made an open competitor.
I do have trouble understanding who the market is? It is other public school teachers or homeschoolers?
If it is other public school teachers, than it is money out situation for them. Probably their own money too. It makes much more sense for the homeschooled. However, a la carte lesson plans would add up fast!
This will turn out to be that 95% of music files downloaded were not downloaded legally from RIAA artists. There is a huge world world out there they are not looking at, both geographically and musically. There are massive amounts of unpaid but legal downloads from artists that allow D/Ls, international artists, and D/L services for pay or not that do not sell songs from RIAA artists, etc.
They have the mobile google-boxes all over the place, but there are still a number of purposes for a static, secure, and reliable data center. I think a combination of the two makes the most effective system. High speed coupled with high reliability, with everything able to reroute in real time.
I just wish they would all stop misusing "theory".
"Climate change" is a little rough, but I do think that the impact should be brought up. Maybe talk about energy efficiency, and spend a day going over the low-hanging fruit of improvements.
The kids forget the entire lesson anyway as soon as they are picked up in their parent's Yukons...
They are not the most efficient things in the world, but when is the last time we got this much extra out of a government program!
I think the NASA projects, when looked at as having long tails, are probably some of the best ways we spend our tax dollars.
I think it is fantastic that we are able to explore the planet at all, and the data gathered will turn out to be valuable somehow. As far as life there or anywhere else, I think we should look, no matter how remote the probability. Cheers to NASA for getting so much life out of a great design, and for getting another generation of kids interested in Science!
I am sure this is all part of planned obsolescence. The companies making those products will be happy to sell you a pricey upgrade.
I doubt all of the smaller carriers are going abandon analog service, since it is the only thing out there in some of rural America.
The big players probably did this because the bandwidth was mostly wasted, and I am sure because a lot of the people with REALLY inexpensive plans were in the analog world. There were some insane deals to be had out there for analog service a few years ago.
Thankfully, all of the multi-function print centers I have at my job are never working long enough at one time to get hijacked. Maybe the horrible up-times were a gift from the manufacturers to prevent these attacks!
There are a lot of sources and schools doing this already, and I hope more and more continue to join! I have used some the available MIT lectures to learn about topics I was interested in, and I greatly appreciated these materials being available.
More and more, the tools needed to learn about something are out there and cheap or free, so it kind of the eliminates the "I cannot get access to an education" argument. I think it is fantastic!
Maybe they can amend to: "Cyber: As in Computers". Probably double their funding...
At least they are seeing this as an issue. Shocking that the most desirable candidates do not fancy running 3 miles with packs. That does not seem as entertaining with a wealth of other job prospects.
None of the other candidates are willing to admit that they read books for fear of alienating voting based on who they would like to have a beer with...
That first recording sounded pretty jacked up. I think a lot of the progress and reason for this article is not the amount of cleanup, but the fact that it was done with mathematics. It could probably get cleaned up a little more with a person smoothing it out, but the problem with this is that it is so time-intensive. You could work all day on a couple of seconds...
"Please note this environment may not be completely safe, so we are going to prevent you from entering. We have also initiated so many system processes that it will simulate a virus on this system."
The links in that article are neat. I am looking forward to watching the maturity of this!
Maybe it could be used to build muscle too. Go for a jog down a hill and you will feel your legs braking quite a bit. Hopefully they are able to make it a little less intrusive, and very inexpensive.
I wonder if they will find Chuck Norris... Hopefully they find something beneficial, but not immediately promising enough that they tear up the environment and species of whatever the paydirt turns up to be.
I more or less agree, but I am disappointed that Paul will not be out there embarrassing his competition by forcing them into awkward corners. This will not do well for our debate drinking games...
I would be much more impressed with some method of administration that would be able to overcome purposefully missed doses in certain patients. I think a lot of the problems with missed dosages are people thinking that they are feeling better, and therefore do not need the medicines they are taking. That said, I think a huge proportion of prescribed drugs are unnecessary, and that practice should be looked into more...
No one will remember if it does not work, and if it is some kind of new high efficiency motor, then you got the news here first. I think throwing out a few false positives makes this place "normal".
Data for financial transactions on most sites is processed separately from the rest of the data provided. I think it would be feasible to make a system beneficial and transparent to both sides. I would like to think that an online merchant does not have any additional utility from having my CC#, as long as they know I paid, and know it was me.
I agree that a quick mass adaptation of a system like this would not be the best, and I would absolutely not feel comfortable with a single company running it all, but someone needs to start doing something to protect the average consumer. It will be a cat and mouse game forever, but it does not mean the merchant/consumer/bank side should stop moving.
Tools like these will do more do help consumers. People that really have things to hide are doing just fine with things like PGP and other encryption standards. I hope that products like this, implemented and used well, would go a long way to help the kinds of people that have no idea online-privacy is an issue...
The E.U. needs to figure out how much money it takes to make a fine that the company cannot easily choose to pay after a 5 second profit/loss analysis to get them in line. The investigations and fine outcomes seem laughable half the time.
I got permission in 2007 to install some open source software at work after using it head to head with some of the programs from big players that I found absolutely intolerable. Hopefully initiatives like this one help whoever makes those decisions come around! Here's to another 10 years of increased adoption and collaboration (at work and then at home)!
I wish the list would include political candidates. There should also be a far easier way to turn people in who are violating. I would be happy to turn in specific parts of my logs to get the calls to stop for good. The mail is annoying too, and I hate the wasted paper,but at least it all comes at once. Plus, whenever I have people over and just completely ignore the phone, it usually inspires at least one, "well, aren't you going to answer it?". The "no" reply is usually taken with offense, even if I mention that I always take calls on the numbers they use to get to me...
Sony already gave it their best effort... I assume the chip companies will tell them to piss off. They cannot possibly make an argument that a microprocessor encourages piracy.
...just as long as it is not an online D/L! The next version will be out before you can grab the update off of the network. After a year, I am still not feeling any remorse for skipping out of Vista. XP under virtualization is more than enough for me outside of work...

I would like to see a list of some of the names there were looked at by multiple parties at the same time...
I hope they will work on their excuses a little harder next time. They should know who their audience is!

Maybe we can start feeding them metal or carbon pellets?
It will be neat to see the future of this. Hopefully they can scale everything for more production, and get some alternate materials in there.
