and you forget those of us in the middle. we buy the 6 month old gear for $0.10 o nthe dollar off of ebay and get to use higher end gear from the used market for lower price.
No company needs 1000bt for the accounting and sales department. But there is always some moron IT guy out there that thinks they do so they scrap all their perfect 100bt gear. and I snap it up for nothign and sell it to small businesses for a profit.
"Then you have to encode to video packets, and put it on the network. That too can take a little computing power."
You dont know how ATSC video is transmitted.
ATSC is a MPEG2 Transport stream. there is no "encode to video packets" as it's already video packets. there is ZERO computing power to take a OTA TV station and stream it onto the internet. IT's simply changing from wireless to wire the file stream stays the same.
It's why I can record 20 ATSC or QAM channels at the same time using a old Pentium III to a U SCSI hard drive. all I am doing is moving bits.
Cable companies also lobbied hard to get the rebroadcast fees into law. That way it made all community TV antenna systems that were their biggest competition illegal.
IT was common for a city block or subdivision to have one large tower and several antennas picking up the TV stations and then running coax to all the homes rolled int othe association fees. Apartment complexes also used to do this before it was railroaded into being illegal by the cable tv industry.
If you are measuring a distance in 3D space and the time it takes? yes.
If quantum entanglement exists in 5,6 or even 7D space, the entanglement distance may not be anywhere as far as the 3D space distance.
Therefore it IS possible in relation to the observer and based on 3D space constraints to transmit information faster than the speed of light without violating Causality.
Every cop in america thinks that way, including black cops. I know several and talk to them regularly. One is a detroit police officer and is black. He will tell you to your face that a black kid walking in a neighborhood in the middle of the night is up to no good.
All the cops already feel that way, It is not right, but it is what they see day in and day out.
Why? Because blacks have a higher level of poverty than the whites do. Much higher. Couple that with living in shithole neighborhoods where landlords do not take care of the property and you get a higher proportion of blacks suspected of crime. and guess what, Poverty breeds crime. Your $900 iPad will get them $150 at a pawn shop, and that is a buttload of money to a poor person.
Blacks are also more susceptible to Gangs because it's a form of community that they just dont have. Eeeew poor people! make hem go away! Plus, I dont see police outreach to the poor communities. Cops should be forced to walk their beat, talk to he people in their patrolled neighborhoods. Instead of sitting in the car with the windows up staring and eating doughnuts, or harassing the kids playing in the street.
They have to prove that he did not shoot in self defense. So unless he get's a complete tool for a lawyer they will not convict him.
Please cue all the "ZOMG RACIST!" comments directed toward me for daring to suggest that he actually fired in self defense and did not hunt and gun down the black kid in a hoodie because he was on a racial murder hunt like the radicalized minority groups want everyone to believe.
Patent infringement lawsuits because the patent system is so out of control and most new items "invented" will violate 1 or more patents that should have never been issued.
Nice cherry pick. Let me point out the part you wanted.
"Luckily I live in a state where it's legal to open carry. so I do that as well.
Cops hate it, but the whiny bitches can stuff it."
I wear a pistol on my belt in public every place it is legal to do so, and in some private businesses when I have permission from them. A lot of places allow it, like starbucks. the Government (the police in this instance) do not like it at all. I get harassed by the cops all the time about having my pistol. They don't like it when another person encroaches on their turf. They act just like gang members. I do it to exercise my rights (as a lot of others do as well) and to point out to the police that they do not intimidate me.
Note: when in a group of 5 or more are out and all open carrying, the cops don't have the balls to try and harass us. They only like acting like whiny punks when they outnumber a single person.
This is how I "act the "responsible adult" with respect to the government?" by forcing the local government enforcers to respect my rights. Buy buying guns I exercise my 2nd amendment right as well. Getting a Concealed carry ALSO will do this.
When you hide at home cowering that you might upset a cop, that is when you don't "act the responsible adult with respect to the government" You have to fight for your rights, exercise your rights and make a clear statement to the people that want to take away your rights (the police for example) by using your rights on a regular basis and letting them know you are not going to go away.
IF you think the GP is thinking that shooting someone is a "act the "responsible adult" with respect to the government" then you are completely nutty.
Plus you ignore that many people have Shit insurance because their greedy employers will not pay for anything decent. The number of people filing for bankruptcy because of medical bills is staggering. And these were people with "insurance" that did not cover most of their bills.
IF you really want to screw over your boss or ex boss, call in a suspected violation to the Business Software alliance. They are giving people "rewards" for turning in their employers or ex employers.
I agree, but they wont let me kick my bosses ass for firing me. I cant even start a legal fistfight if you want to be gentlemanly, although fighting in courts is far less honorable than knuckles on the jaw.
There is no repercussions for firing an employee without a real cause in many states. This is the direct fault of rich assholes lobbying to get rid of the pesky rights of the proletariat.
Make it an even playing field. you as a boss get the right to fire me for any silly reason, but I get the right to kick your ass and bloody your face for doing so if it's not a legitimate reason.
You cant have it both ways. Want to be treated like an adult, you get the consequences of being an adult.
You can mitigate and manage risk though. by funding projects that are backed by people that actually have a proven track record of completing a job or task. for example the Double Fine kickstarter or the Shadowrun kickstarter. Both are from people that actually make a finished product and have examples of finished products.
The glasses example was a bunch of kids that never had anything to show that they ever finished, and the transition from concept to product is a hard one. It also had a lot of other red flags that made me back away.
It's why I funded the two games from people with a reputation of success and ignored completely the full of red flags it will fail video glasses project ran by unknowns that did not even have a business plan.
you can blacklist IMEI numbers and have been able to cince the Cellular ONE days of 1989. And honestly I have no idea why the iphone, ipad and ipod could not be blacklisted as well. this would make the street value of the stolen i devices to go ZERO.
connect stolen ipad to itunes, screen change to black with red "STOLEN PROPERTY, call 1-800-555-1212 for more information" and it's game over for thieves.
For some reason none of these companies want to do this.
Sorry but that says,"Macs dont get PC viruses" which is 100% correct. It's just like Microsoft saying "everyone loves windows" IT's true just out of context and misleading.
Everyone, dave here is one of my slashdot stalkers. He has a couple of logins here, but he mostly trolls as AC.

Any Car that had the 4T60E transmission from GM that was made in 1995-2005 is computer controlled, that covers almost ALL of their cars that were front wheel drive. 4T65HD was used in the better cars and was also electronic.
I had a 1997 Geo metro that had a computer controlled transmission.
So your point was again?
Hell my 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT had computer control of the TCC lockup solenoid. I'm thinking you know nothing at all about cars.
she also probably did not know that cars are available without automatic transmissions, although you can engine brake with an auto tranny, just not as effective.
Yes I have, maybe if you read the first words in my post. and if you think you will stop the same as mashing a hydralic brake, you are nuts. IT will stop you in a significantly less distance than no brake at all.
Granted It was a car that was designed right. the cable pulls on two levers that engage the rear disc brakes. so I have the rear two brakes. There are crap cars that have a small spot brake pad for the E-brake. But most pull the rear brakes either both rear discs or both rear drums.

Define speed of light.

I fixed that for you. Please at least be HONEST when you try and bullshit other people.

Sorry, I hate to burst your bubble with reality.

" If I hire a programmer at 60K per year, you can be certain that he's worth 75K to me, and I get to keep the 15K per year per programmer -"
you suck at business.
$60K a year programmer had better be making you $180K a year. and at least billing $260K a year to clients for that programmers time.
If you are paying $60K and making $15K you need to quit now as you are doing it wrong. I charge $125 an hour for my programmers.
You get fired for pointing out the emperor has no clothes on?
This is the standard operating procedure for all businesses and government agencies in the USA. It's been this way for decades.

Yup that is why Linux is an utter failure and not used anywhere.
Oh wait, Linux is used in more places than Windows and OSX combined.... Wait, a slashdot AC has no clue as to how these things really work? OMG!
