These turkeys should get out of space and leave it to the pros. We would say they should outsource it to China, but given the standard of living ratings, Norway should be the one. Norways has oil, money, and brain power, things neither u.s. or China has.
This concept of "cross country moves" is stupid. A lot more people move across bigger countries with a lot more people, and most of the world has to move over 8000 miles to find employment, yet you've been brainwashed into thinking moving over 3000 miles and 290 million people is considered a big deal.
Living in Silicon Valley to work in software is the reality of the business. Luxury living in exotic locations like Arizona and North Carolina was a 90's excess. If you don't need to be in the location, your function can be bought from India.
China has a moon program and they don't have as many missions as NASA. Russia has a moon program and they don't have as many missions as NASA. India has a moon program and they don't have as many missions as NASA. These are the largest countries in the world and they've made sacrifices to have moon programs.
Unlike the big 3, your united government can't force a moon program on you if you don't want it. It introduced this idea to make the deaths of your astonauts seem like a stepping stone to something important, but if the cost to basic science is too high, you can defeat it and go back to low earth orbit missions.
As the budget reallocations multiply and the pressure mounts against a moon program, it's undoubtedly going to force your government to think more in terms of low earth orbit and basic science.
The voices of millions of complaints may be all the evidence we need that small science missions and low earth orbit are more practical than what China's doing.
The problem isn't that the importing and exporting of technology is global, it's that everything else still isn't global.
You can buy technology from anywhere but you can't easily go there to work. You can buy military technology from India but you can't go to India and work for their military. You can buy spaceships from Russia but you can't go to Russia to work on their spaceships. You can buy oil from terrorists but you can't work as a terrorist.
The other inequality is the environmental laws. You can buy nickel from Russia because Russia doesn't limit pollution but you can't go into the business of selling nickel because y.o.u. have pollution limits. You can buy chemicals from India because India doesn't have health laws but you can't sell them chemicals because y.o.u. have health laws.
Having globalization in only selected areas but restricting everything else is causing a lot of pain. If you really want globalization, you can't have inequality of environmental laws or national security interests.
Japanese companies always produced the best consumer electronics. In Japan, everyone had a wide range of responsibilies. The same people worked on software, hardware, design and experience on previous products was applied to new products. If programmers couldn't design useful interfaces, they didn't survive.
The problem seems to be their attempts to apply American specialization to consumer electronics. Now the programmers are supposed to just program, the EE's just design hardware, interface design is strictly management, and needs are filled by hiring and firing instead of reusing people.
Consumer electronics aren't the kinds of things you can apply American specialization to. Those who think they can are being eaten up by the LG's and Samsungs. Apple has Slashdot on its side, and that helps a lot.
Funny how no-one ever did a pole for what users think the actual launch rate is going to be. Personally predict there will be no more than 1 launch every year for the next 20 years. There are going to be too many minor glitches to fix in time with NASA's kind of pyramid organisation.
There are a lot of people in this world who think the 10x housing to income multiple of Silicon Valley is cheap. By world standards, housing should be 40x your income. $1,000,000 housing is cheap.
Rent is going up and people who said $1,000,000 was too much for a house are thinking differently. Silicon valley isn't like Detroit or Minnesota. When the wind changes from one industry to another, the population changes. The QA engineers and programmers have moved out. The managers and venture capitalists have moved in. In 2015 they're going to be saying $7,000,000 is cheap for a house.
Despite having higher capacity, better players, convergence support, and more consumer enthusiasm, like right now, Blu-Ray could be killed off because it has stronger encryption.
Based on previous articles on gizmodo, Blu-Ray users are going to have to register their player in order to receive private key updates. They'll receive Blu-Ray disks for the life of the player which reprogram their player with the latest private keys. At least one private key update is planned for the final AACS revision.
HD-DVD could just not bother updating the consumer's players if they wanted to win and they felt encryption was deterring consumers.
The fact that they're crippling HD-DVD isn't as much of a problem as the fact that they're doing the same thing with Blu-Ray. The concept of banning screenshots and artificially degrading the playback quality of physical media you paid for is going too far.
The marketing for Blu-Ray is excellent. Consumers are going to love Blu-Ray movies, clean them off the shelves, and it's going to be the product of the year, but consumers are going to be more limited in what they can do with their purchases than they ever have before.
As you know from previous slashdot articles, the increase was only in project management and above. The demographics of Silicon Valley have definitely shifted from technical positions to high level marketing and coordinating positions. There are more high level positions than the total positions in 2000, but these positions are much harder to get.
The more you play with the Orbiter simulation of the space elevator, the more you realize how impossible it is. Like an asteroid is just going to park itself in exactly the right position for capture by the space elevator or something that percarius is going to survive wars.
The current Windows interface is something all users demand, no matter what they say about Microsoft or what they say about the pricetag, and Linux programmers have tried to meet that requirement by transforming the spartan UNIX environment into the closest possible emulation of Windows.
With the number of free software projects which strive to immitate Windows in every way except the price, it's a wonder more kids don't just run Windows.
Pioneer, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Kyocera, LG/Phillips, Samsung. Management jobs are very hard to get at these places unless your resume says MIT or you're a famous entrepreneur, but it's the most prestigious, challenging, and technical work you'll find. You probably aren't hearing about the good jobs because your resume doesn't say MIT.
Seems lots of places do quite well with egalitarian structures. No-one complains about India, Japan, China putting out shiny geek toys or wandering into lotus land even though they don't have American "org charts".
The issue is more to do with programmers who can't stay on track rather than programmers who ignore the "org chart".
5 job changes and layoffs later you'll find not working to your ability is the way it's done in that country. American job titles are not egalitarian like Hong Kong or Japan. The software engineering level is pretty much the same no matter where you go or what you do. Only if you network your way into management does the work get creative or challenging.
Hard to believe with all the information available from generation after generation of celebrity Linux programmer doing the same thing, they still have this attitude of quitting day job after day job thinking the next one is going to be better but never really getting anywhere.
It looks more like a thing with 4 wheels that transforms into a thing with 4 wheels on the end of sticks. The idea with the original transformers was the car was indestinguishable from a normal car and transformed into something that was indisputably a humanoid, but this is only a car because we're told it's a car and a humanoid because we're told it's a humanoid.
With the number of transformer toys successfully designed and sold, it's hard to believe no-one has ever made one work under its own power.
Before we get to the near lightspeed antigravity technology, lets do the warping of spacetime with the magnets that was in the previous article, or better yet, the mars base Russia keeps saying they're going to build over and over and over.
30 years ago US was investing billions of dollars in this network while Europeans were content to invest in the minitel. Now they're protesting their lack of ownership of the internet.
Currently US is moving to HDTV and Europe is investing in expanding its low definition channels instead. Predict in 30 years Europeans will protest the ownership of high definition channels by US, there will be panic in the streets, slashdot will hype the controversy, and heads will roll.
Bangalore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Toronto, Aukland are places you start businesses. Ohio is in the middle of a united poverty disaster. Gateway was another rediculous 90's contraption to let people work wherever they wanted for no reason.
Removing Salami Insane from power: good. Trying to convert "militant" Islam into a peaceful value system: bad.
CNN, ABC, CBS, and PBS are forever going to say the "weapons of mass destruction" were a hoax. The fact is, if you didn't go to war, no-one would have investigated the claims and they would have said you should have gone to war.
If you went to war, they would have investigated the claims and said you shouldn't have gone to war. The weapons of mass destruction claims are irrelevant now of course.
The current situation is being ignored by all the networks. Trying to reform Islam isn't an issue of hoaxes or weapons of mass destruction or Haliburton. It's simply stupid. The middle east isn't free because a value system which teaches people to blow themselves up doesn't allow it. They shouldn't be trying to install total freedoms in Iraq. They should install partial freedoms like Quatar and China, just enough to keep people's heads from being chopped off for eating the wrong food, and get out.
When this came out a month ago, it was clear that NASA had embarked on the path you already know. Time to start cutting back. Due to the lack of thrust from the J-2 engine, they had to reduce the size of the spaceship. Due to lack of money, they had to abandon the methane engine and abandon a docking system. Due to the lack of a methane engine, they had to abandon synthesizing fuel on other planets.
As said before, there is no moon program. If they ever get anything, it's going to be a low earth orbit capsule with moon landings bought from China. More likely, it's going to be low earth orbit bought from China.
If they can't build a single SSME system, there's no way they're going to build a 5 SSME system to launch a lunar lander.
Lose the game and buy the trophy seems to be the pledge of allegience in that country. They should stick to advertizing and keynote speeches and leave space travel to the pros.
He doesn't reveal a single thing about what he's working on. Anyone who leaks information gets killed. When the new gadget is revealed, the audience cheers because it's nothing like anyone expected. Every living thing on Earth loves Steve Jobless.
Then of course, there are the other visionaries. When the other guys design products in secrecy they're the devil for not involving anyone else. They're selfish bastards for not allowing anyone else to copy their idea.
There's a guy who is required to do whatever the president wants, no matter how rediculous, and given no money to do it. Not suprising those NASA representatives turn over almost as fast as software managers.
