I have 24 gig in my Old G5 quad core Apple desktop and I used every drop of it. I also know a lot of other people that use 16 GB or more ram in their desktops daily.
I am guess you dont know that they edit TV shows and movies as well as render CG on computers. All on desktops. AVID on it's own will suck up every drop of ram you hand it.
Sounds like your IT department is staffed with people that know nothing about IT. IF you have to travel with your dev boxes, then a Lunchbox PC would be a perfect choice for a very high end setup that is easily portable.
The companies start whining for daddy gubment to fix the game for them.
The biggest problem is that a LOT of china solar panels are the thin film crap that will not last more than 5 years and loses 1/2 it's output within 2 years. But there are killer prices for monocrystaline panels that will last you 50 years that makes the greedy US companies whine.
The repubs who CLAIM they are for Capitolisim and small government will back a bill to stop affordable solar from flowing in from china.
General motors, Ford, Chrysler, and Tesla all will gladly do a short run custom cars in the 1000 car range. In fact it's done all the time for commercial vehicles.
There are several closed car assembly plants that can easily be restarted for minimal capitol and used for short runs of 1000-2000 cars. It's just that most Executives cant think like that so they fail to see the ability to leverage existing abandoned low cost assets that can be purchased for very little and used.
1000-2000 cars can be HAND BUILT by skilled workers. and an assembly line that was state of the art in 1980 can easily be used by those skilled workers to do the job. There are several mothballed pontiac plants in Pontiac and Flint that will work just fine.
Which leads me to the whole loan program and how it's set up badly. First the loan should be attached to a free factory like we have all over this country left over from the Automotive boom. You want 298mill to build solar panels? you are going to do it in flint, detroit, pontiac, or other location that industry left a community and there is already assets in place that you can use. If the executives dont like the idea of living near detroit or Gary, Indiana then they can get their money elsewhere.
Yet again politicians doing things they should not because they trust corporations and people to be honest and "do the right thing". They dont, they never have.
From those of us that have used touchscreens for 20 years. Yes tapping an icon is the same as clickong on an icon. It's not revolutionary in any way.
I had the first Tablet PC, a Dauphin DTR-1 it ran windows 3.11 and acted just like a iPhone except for swipes and gestures. Honestly, you think tapping an icon is revolutionary?
Honestly, they should be over 1,000,000 already if they were to be as successful as they claimed to be. and how much you want to bet they are counting the paper subscribers that logged in to set up their online account, so the real number is far lower.
"I knew Americans are generally quite stupid and don't know anything about the world outside North America, "
Most Americans don't know anything about north America, the United states, or even their own state. There is a large percentage of our population that has no idea how many states there are or even the number of stars or stripes on our flag. Education here is exceedingly bad because it's high priced.
In fact Student DEBT is higher than credit card DEBT nationally. Yes, our education system is that tilted so that only the rich get education.
Close ties? the Dems are dry humping the MPAA and RIAA. The republicans are just standing in line to Dry hump them as well right after they are done Dry humping all the billionaires and Big Corporations.
Every one of the scum-bags on both sides are against the American people. The assholes passed the bill for helping the 911 first responders 10 years late AND put in a slap in the face provision that you have to pass a background check to make sure you were not a terrorist. The people in the house and senate are all major assholes.
There have always been a lot of fools that are attracted to shiny. rare shiny is desireable. so you will be able to trade it. It's why gold started out as a trade item, people distracted by shiny like it.
Slashdot Mirror
But we changed it so that those with only a large passive income can get elected.
But it's been this way for a while, no common man has been elected to the senate or house in over a century.
Want a change back? change campaign laws that nobody can spend more than $10,000 in advertising and campaigning for office.
Actually you are correct. Because Land is actually not owned by you but by your government. your DEED is not to the land but a use of that land.
Your local city/county/state/country holds true ownership of your land.
A telephone, cellphone, smoke signals, there are a lot more communication modes other than skype.

Hi foaming at the mouth democrat.
You need to clear the anger foam from your face, as you are foaming at another democrat, the dirty stinking republicans are further to your right.
my point is that the Company owners are too stupid to know how to run a business.
News flash, there is no law in the USA that says if you make cars you must have the UAW.
Learn about unions instead of assuming that it's a part of the constitution.
General motors, Ford, Chrysler, and Tesla all will gladly do a short run custom cars in the 1000 car range. In fact it's done all the time for commercial vehicles.
Bet you a cool million they did not even ask.
Not an excellent point, a straw man.

"It's unlikely the re-sellers in brick-and-mortar stores can take less of a cut; they have really high overhead."
Like executives that must make 7 figures and stockholders that demand dividend payments.
Eliminate the greed and you eliminate the really high overhead.

Compared to even obscure little slashdot.

Pretty darn good. Still no viruses and trojans that take over the computer without the user having the user to run it.
Hows that weed filled outlot you called Windows working for you?
Yet as adults we tell the youth to "get your degree" or do stupid things like requiring a degree for a job position.
I saw yesterday a Job posting for a receptionist that had in it's requirements a Bachelors or higher degree. Incredulous!
And the Korean war. Vietnam also slowed it down a bit, all those dirty hippies protesting against freedom for the Vietnam people...

GW bush and the Republicans AND Democrats destroyed it. But the destruction started back in the 50's it's just the last 10 years that sealed the deal.
"The core problem is they are too many people, doing illegal and harmful stuff."
Yet people keep electing those criminals.
Honestly if you want to stop this, start electing people that are not rich and have real scruples.

not ammunition... brass shells, primers and loading bench tools. making lead is easy. (get those molds too while you are at it)
Being the guy that can reload shells will give you an instant business, and never ending flow of food and supplies.
Bet you $10,000 that RIAA and MPAA have their fingers in it as well and it will trigger on "stolen digital media"
