Always learn new things in life since technology evolves so fast. I feel sorry for my co-workers to refuse to learn on their own because it would cost them some time or money.
Just getting out of your hometown, seeing different part of the world, learning what college is like is a great experience. And you may meet nice people too. I did this a couple of summers and found it very rewarding.
Although you have to learn a lot aspects of computer science to get proficient in that. Also you need the learn a fair amount of humanties like how to tell a story, invent a character, myths, etc.
They usually record less data for maintenance purposes than the kind the insurance companies are clamoring for.
These limited datasets have been subpoenaed for auto accidents.
Some people are making smart phones do basic medical sensing. The cameras an see patients parts and colors; the accelerometers can measure vibrations. Some devices can plug in for chemical analysis.
They plan to add their own float at the unofficial end of the Rose Bowl parade. They have the grudging accommodation of the police and parade officials for this protest event.
Before 1940s most US scientists would do grad school or postdoc in Europe. There was a language requirement in many US grad schools well into the 1970s.
After WWII the US got many immigrant scientists and permanent government S&E funding. They started winning the bulk of Nobel prizes then. And led way in major engineering projects like the space programme.
China may be the dominant S&E country by 2030, if not earlier.
I last passed by them two days ago. They've slept through seven snowstorms up to ten inches and minus two degrees weather. The cops have taken down their structures about once a month. They are allowed to protest from 5Am to 11PM (park hours) but up to 30 still sleep on the sidewalk. The big weekly event is the Saturday march to the Capitol, Bank HQs and Fed Reserve.
My teenage niece got one for Christmas and her hands have been glued to it since. Although it lacks the GPS, GS and numerous Apps of the #1 tablet, it does most of what she wants: mail, browse, internet radio, video...
Kepler turned out to be a roaring success with 2000 planet candidates so far and potential for 10,000 if the tea-party doesnt terminate it. You'd think that that two follow-ups to Kepler like the inferometric planet finder would be a sure bet. But both of these were shelved last year.
Ditto the Hubble telescope. It had a rocky start with the Challenger accident and mis-ground lens. But with a lot of jury-rigging t has been more successful, and costly, than most had anticipated. But its successor the Webb telescope is already triple budget and five years delayed. It came within a hairbreadth of being cancelled twice this year.
Ten years ago few people predicted the huge variety of applications one would be able to do on a pocket-size computer. It was consider dicey at the time for Apple to get into the phone busy at all, even though this seemed be the logical progression of ever smarter iPods. The real innovation came when Apple opened these devices to devices after an initial year of resistance. Something perhaps not even Steve anticipated.
This is just one of several under-expected forecasts in the industry- the surprise racehorse. I've seen many of these in my career.
The December 2010 tax changes meant several official IRS forms were not available until February or even March. A lot of this had to do with basis information now mandated on brokerage 1099s. So the old habit of filing in early February for anticipated refund becomes less possible. Even April filing is threatened by lack of forms and data. More people get the automatic October extension tax-preparers tell me.
One of the Denver TV stations (FOX) collected these statistics. The city council has commissioned a study. the increased rear ends are from more sudden-braking.
We had ice-packed roads in Denver last night again. It is not possible to break in three seconds without skidding, especially in a vehicle without fancy electronic brakes. You either have to drive rather slowly- 25 mph or less. Or go through the red light. I do some of both.
What helps a lot is 80% of the light have pedestrian countdowns, which at zero go to yellow. (some states go to red at zero) I can decide to start braking if the countdown is in single digits.
I know plenty of schoolboys who claim to be internet wizards. Yet they just know a little more than the average user, often a crucial difference in solving problems.
The internet has so many holes that it doesnt really take much expertise to compromise it. Some of these holes are due to its open architecture. And others due to sloppy security engineering.
I doubt most bill authors on technical subjects write much of the copy themselves. The congressman sets forth the general policy and lets a specialist flesh it out. I heard something on NPR about lobbyist firms that specialize in writing bills for a fee. So when an omnibus bill opportunity comes up they spam the bill with tons of earmarks on short notice.
That is the SlashDot angle. Previously you'd have to organize people by word-of-mouth, which has range issues. Or through conventional media, which is easier to control by governments.
I venture the answer is both yeas and no. In liberal democracies protests have always existed. In more autocratic countries, less so. Social media helped get around their restrictions.

The Chinese spacecraft is spying on the US spacecraft? China would never spy on us!

From Redbox, and Dollar theater to Film Festival and 3D prices.

So convenient and easy to copy someone else's work. I never needed to because I was smart.

(I assume their spy software is reading what I am typing now!)
And live life amply without regrets.

The annoying thing is they also have in-person fees of usually the same amount. So you pay an extra fee no matter how you buy the ticket.
Back to the 1830s when news took weeks to cross the globe. Most food and products were local. A man with a horse was rich.

All imposiible wishes!
Possiibly because they use MicroSoft phone OS now.
