I fire clients who mess with anything without my permission. I train them to do the simple stuff I want them to do. Beyond that they touch anything they get fired. There is nothing worse than trying to fix an issue with someone else mucking it up changing things. A lot of other consultants do the same. It sounds like a nightmare client.
Improved alternators(they are not generators!) and reducing bearing friction will will bring a bigger gain. As far as that goes better bearings would improve energy use in many areas!
Even with the fcc rules fast lanes existed. Google paid for fiber directly into the larger isps backbones. The bought dark fiber than pay to have it terminated at the isps major and some not so major pops. Netflix paid to have cache boxes installed and fiber directly to comcast. Many of the acceleration and distribution networks pay for cache boxes and have direct fiber connections to all the large pops of even the midsize isp networks. The FCC ruling did not change that at all.
Almost if not every major airport in the US uses remote ATC. Ground control is a mix of local and remote. Even when it is local it is done almost always done by cameras with the controllers sitting in a below ground level room.
She went in with heart issues but it was the "superbug" that killed her. I was so pissed that it was not mentioned on the death certificate, just the heart issues. It is debatable if the heart issues would not have killed her anyway, but it was the infection that killed her.
Windows 8 shows MS has not changed one bit. They still try and stuff crap down the throats of consumers and break stuff for developers and call it great. Hmm wonder is any ex-Microsoft execs work for Dice.
It died when it became bloatware just like the rest of the browsers. Who remembers when it was lean mean small and fast? I remember a time when surfing with Opera was 3x as fast as ie. IE got better and Opera got worse and firefox stole the thunder.
To much politics in science today to trust them with decisions. There is a lot of junk out there being passed off as science. Many scientists are available for sale to the highest bidder.
This has caused a loss of trust in the scientific community by the general public and the leadership.
I am involved as a consultant to several practices and frankly the software stinks. Buggy, incomplete, error prone, and over priced. If I had a nickel for every time I have been told it will be fixed in the next release I would be a millionaire. I feel sorry for the medical professionals who have to deal with the garbage software on a day to day basis and the consumers who get sub-par service both medical and billing because of it.
One example is: If one thing is billed another is automatically added to the bill because they were often used together. The problem: They are no longer recommended to be used together as a better and cheaper test has replaced one of them. A year and a half later the problem is still in the software and if someone forgets to manually remove it the insurance rejects payment and the patient gets a bogus bill for several hundred dollars.
It really depends on the load. I don't see them taking over totally anytime soon but for some tasks they will be good enough.
sql back end of any kind forget about it, not even worth discussing anytime some. They could need hardware accelerators to even be really useful on anything but the lightest loads.
Even middle-ware processing, not soon. This is an area where accelerators could shine.
Front end web servers, This is the place they will show up and shine. A lot of power is wasted waiting to serve a heavy load that only comes a few hours a day. The small standby power of ARM is a good start. Get the i/o up and add some accelerators. Hook them up to a fast fabric and go.
File servers are a real possibility many NAS already are running them, but they don't scale yet. They do have the potential to do so however if the r&d is spent on them. Many raid controllers are nothing but lower end arm cores running firmware, put 5 or 6 of these on a single chip with some fast 64 bit cores to run the OS and a 10GB network controller on a fast fabric and you would have the basis of a killer server. Routers, many already are ARM and they will scale farther up the food chain in the future.

All the phones are made in China anyway so what is the difference whose name is on it?
How much did Intel pay M$ to brick AMD systems?

It never went away at smart companies and those in regulated industries.

Not until they totally remove the spyware they infested it with.
It never was that great.

Skynet was born.
Too early.
Right now it is all talk and a start, if the actions live up to the talk long term then I would consider it.
Who didn't see not having their own fabs was going to bite them in the rear?
Only a bunch of bean counters would not have seen this coming.
Leaving out Boeing would be budget suicide for NASA.
Not!
Which one is next?

If skype works then both showmypc and gotomypc will work.

Who cares...
It is all bread and circus anyway.
That programs running on the same hardware could see what another program was doing.
This one is a great big DUH!
