Not much substance in the Savage article. So why exactly did the effects work where no computer effect since then has? Was it the film stock? Was it the lens type? Was it the project planning?
You think real estate prices, gas prices, health insurance prices, beef prices, college tuition, and toothbrush prices can quadruple while music royalties stay the same? This isn't Japan. It's U. Know. Where.. Inflation is a fact of life.
People don't make more money over time. Money becomes worthless. $200,000 will be worth $10,000 in 2020, but anything which retains the same value will be $4,000,000. If anyone still values the $200,000 flight in 2020, it'll have the same value when dollars are 1/20th as valuable, and cost 20x more.
Since Google is run by the entrepreneurs that left VA Research, it's hard to believe they won't leave again and start the next IT company.
This is inside knowledge that The Cring probably already knew.
Getting into The Goog is difficult because they have 10,000 resumes for every opening. They get so much noise and have such an inefficient screening practice, only 1% of the employees who get through actually contribute anything.
Google is probably going to follow VA Research. VA Research once had the largest IPO in history. They were the IT company, mentioned every 2 seconds on CNN. Put VA Research on your resume and you had unlimited job offers. Celebrity programmers could drive to Calif* cold and be guaranteed a job at VA Research. They were reinventing the software world.
VA Research was going to make all the world's software released under GPL licenses and be financed by selling web servers, just as Google is going to make all the world's software web based and financed by financed search results.
Nowadays no-one even knows what VA Research was or what their business model was. Hard to believe one day, they'll probably not know what The Goog was and neither what Google's business model was.
We figured out that Mars was wetter in the past than it is now, 3 years ago. Every discovery since then has just been gravy. Are they going to do anything about it?
Steve is a master at playing up new discoveries, but we already got the message 3 years ago.
Hard to believe, of all the things that cause broadband subscriptions, it was telecommuting and nothing else. I think it's more a matter of low interest rates finally putting enough money in circulation to catch up with rising broadband prices.
7 years ago the posts on these stories were 100% in favor of telecommuting. Now they're probably 50% against it. What happened? It seems the jobs which allowed telecommuting went to Mongolia and the remaining jobs involve a capability that is only available in the office. Maybe it's some kind of network, test environment, or prototype hardware that only exists in the office.
As predicted, the jobs which don't require being in the location are gone and the posts confirm the truth.
Sounds like electronic valve timing being resold as an energy saving technology. I could have gotten a VTEC car 7 years ago but got the old fashioned kind because the cost of VTEC was more than the savings in energy.
Wonder if amazon charges a higher price on your first click, then if you don't buy and return several months later, they lower the price based on your contemplation time.
Stories like this now instantly get accepted as fact as soon as they're released. It's a long way from the old days when these stories got bashed and tested over and over. Unless you accept everything the moment it's announced, you can't be in today's science.
Bumping the speed from 2.5Ghz to 3Ghz is hardly a return to the Ghz race. This stuff is still based on cold war technology and the limit of cold war technology has been reached. They need a serious breakthrough in interconnect speeds now.
At least when NASA has a problem, they photograph it and show it to the readers. The lack of pictures, interviews, and names in the CERN press release is incredible. It is quite a different culture than we're used to.
When you see how hard it is for the private companies to do anything, it's hard to believe NASA actually launched the first space shuttle with humans in one attempt. Maybe it's a statement of how devestating government pension plans and entitlement programs have been, since private individuals are now taxed so severely that they can't achieve anything close to what their government can.
There is great interest in raising taxes right away, taxing CO2 production, taxing energy usage, diverting highway transportation budgets to this and that startup to cool down the planet. The level of interest in the solution is vastly greater than the level of interest in the problem. No-one is trying to define the percentage of heating that humans create. No-one is trying to show how much their proposed tax increases would cool down the planet. No-one has shown that X% more government funding will produce Y% of temperature reduction.
OpenWRT wasn't very practical. It only worked on really old hardware that wasn't in stores anymore. Even then, you needed exactly the right serial number revision. The serial numbers that worked were made in small quantities and virtually impossible to find. Flashed a Linksys access point and bricked it. There was no JTAG or bootloader on the router to recover it.
What's really needed is wireless router for desktop computers instead of attempts to reverse engineer Linksys routers just for the sake of being embedded.
The BD developers order a ton of each disk the moment it comes out, for testing. Suspect Casino Royale had a problem with BD-J so they wanted to throw as much manpower at it as possible. There are also a lot of copies of Speed being bought, as you can see. The main thing they're working on is BD+. If you see a BD disk spike on your hot list, it's probably a BD+ being bought up for testing.

US's policy is to maintain a legion of obsolete workers by never winning wars and using obsolete equipment. They're not building any new planes.

Are they going to build the Clipper before or after the space plane?

This is Comca$t. What do you think is going to happen to the price?

Glitches are the reality of Web 2.0. It's really complicated, annoying, and bug ridden, but that's what companies are paying for.

Imagine the dialog with Bill on board. "Why aren't you running Windows?" "Let's upgrade to .net 2008." "Why are we crashing?"

Forget about terrahertz carriers. I want communication at the frequency of gravity.
Didn't realize they had enough time to run 26 miles on station. Suppose they could learn about metabolism that way.
Kind of sad how memory speed has gone nowhere while CPU speed has raced ahead. The latency on memory is still 1990's numbers.
