Sounds like YouTube is doubling down on letting the folks in charge of "report abuse" triage bring their biases when choosing which videos make money and which ones don't.
Hopefully Vimeo is taking notes...
Billionaires/Millionaires invests in start-up that could improve their profit margins by a non-trivial amount. Who cares? Show me the article when the technology is working and proven beneficial or otherwise.
Appreciate the nuance, perhaps I was a bit terse to get a reaction:)
This was addressed by AC below but it is my subjective view that CEOs should be held accountable. It's hard for me to buy the argument that perception (and intrinsic value) of the Yahoo brand is better off after Mayer's reign. Thanks for pointing out the stock value; you are right that that is the best way to estimate the value of a company at a discrete moment in time. That says nothing about the future value; if I were a stock holder, I would SHORT. Market value changes lags real value changes.
It's a bit disturbing to me to or so see the rise of CEO types that take on ZERO risk and end up coming out ahead when their companies ultimately fail. It can be framed as more of a gradual cash out process than outright bankruptcy, where shareholders can more easily recover any losses before the inevitable, but the ones delivering the cyanide to any residual value are the ones in control and ultimately do profit. Weird process.
I agree Russia is positioning itself, yet I still believe at some level this is a genuine effort at global cooperation *ducks*. And there is already defense against cruise missiles (Patriot missiles, etc.), so is it not plausible that cooperation can protect the involved nations from cruise missiles as well? It would be trickier because of range issues, but still plausible.
And yes, one of the motivations is definitely the lucrative contracts. However, Russia would not agree to this unless some political gain is won. A couple multimillion dollar contracts are not enough to sway the foreign policy of such a large nation.
It is good to see such international cooperation on a global issue. Russia's foreign policy positions seem to contrast with what was accomplished at the summit; I wonder what the sentiment about this settlement is in Russia. The next question is if this network can be expanded beyond NATO. Imagine a network which protected Asia, Oceania, and Africa as well. Whether that is politically possible or not is in question, but I believe with enough time we could see the day. Or everyone could nuke each other with their counter-counter-nuke tech.
Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant in small milligram quantities, however, ingestion of only slightly larger amounts can be fatal. This material is for experimental purposes only and not to be added to food or drink products.
Caution: Caffeine is toxic. Use normal safety precautions (wear a filter mask/respirator and gloves) when working with Caffeine. Accidental inhalation of fine particles can be dangerous.
Note: adult signature required upon delivery.
Disregarding the FUD, I still would think twice about ingesting pure caffeine.
As a current resident of NH, I can say that many people have access to an alternate ISP. In my area Fairpoint will take over Verizon's DSL and land-based telephone service, and the limited FiOS connections that exist. But on top of that Comcast (which isn't so benevolent either) and in some places Time Warner Cable offers internet. Of course in some of the rural areas the cable alternative might not be there, but in general there are options in NH.
JAP is a free java based anonymizer. It runs as a sort of "proxy" as in you route your internet traffic through a localhost port, but it sends out your data through two or more "mixes" which anonymize your connection. It successfully masks your IP, your location, and most importantly your identity. Its relatively fast for the obvious latency problems that are bound to happen.

OpenOffice Impress is not powerpoint. It just isnt. It doesnt have some of the cool templating/artsy fartsy stuff powerpoint has. However, it is usable. And for something that costs nothing it does its job. At least the presentations can be saved as ppt files for interoperability, and recently I did a presentation and everything transferred correctly. And I had pictures, animations, sounds, etc.
gotta love javascript. It automatically brings up a print dialog. Here is the more cumbersome original. Impressive pictures and a very interesting way to capsize a boat.

That's pretty dope. I'd ride the crap out of a skateboard made from rockets ðY

What? The company lost 95% of value in the last ten years, five of those under Mayer.

It has existed! Slax has had an online customized ISO builder for a few months now.
