..and have a licensing deal with Microsoft specifically for Android products with the Google brand.
I am wondering why it is that in every single story about Microsoft's "Android Tax" there is about a thousand slashdotters that don't fucking know that Google pays Microsoft a licensing fee.
Google is not giving out Android and saying its free of patent issues.. Google is in fact saying that if you implement an Android device will all the features that Googles Nexus line has then you are most certainly going to have patent issues, because even Google pays such licensing fees.
Did you know that you can build a trans-dimensional teleportation device out of nothing but aluminum? Large corporations of preventing you from knowing of this remarkable technology.
See, if you form a bowl-shaped structure from a thin sheet of aluminum and place it on your head then you will be instantly transported into a universe where corporations are organized enough to cooperate to prevent you from having free energy.
I wouldnt say that text captcha's are "too easy" for computers to solve.. its just that it costs almost nothing for a machine to fail and try again. Even with a dismal success rate like 10% you can easily see how futile the captcha's are when being attacked by computers that will never get tired or frustrated about failing 9 out of 10 times.
The problem, as pointed out by others, is that the department heads tend to cut the wrong things, deliberately.
There is a difference between conjecture and "pointing out." Most of these departments have never seen a budget cut through their entire history, where the oft-used term "cut" has historically meant a reduction in the rate of increase of their budgets rather than any actual budget cut.
So as far as I can tell, you are just conjecturing that these departments will "cut the wrong things", that they have never actually been forced to cut before.
But do you really want congress to micromanage cuts? Think about that for a bit.
The way this is working out, the secretaries and/or chiefs of each major department are going to make the choice of what is going to get cut within their department and thats surely better than having congress micromanage the cuts. The only time this isnt the case is with earmarked spending, and fuck most of that spending anyways.
This is the only way cuts should be done, and cuts are much needed pretty much everywhere. Every department aside from NASA has ballooned out of control, and even in NASA's case some of the spending is highly dubious ($8 billion on the Webb telescope? Some serious, possibly criminal, inefficiency is happening here.)
I think we would all like to see the DoD budget cut a lot more, but than in no way means that the DoE, DoA, DHS, FDA,.. and so forth should not also see major cuts.
The problem is that what they were failing at was funding health care benefits for retired workers. Thats right, the USPS pension included health care benefits and it was completely unfunded using pay-as-you-go financing.
Its not a problem until a hundred thousand people retire at about the same time.
The only choice on the table was deciding when to fund it.
The requirement isnt for 75 years of prepayment. The requirement is only that they pre-fund the promised retirement health benefits of all existing workers.
And when all is said and done, the postal workers will be in the best shape in the country as public pension after public pension dries up due to the rampant over-promising and under-funding of retirement benefits for public workers.
If you think its nonsense, then you either havent been paying any attention or you have been writing off the endless stream of evidence as "propaganda."
Maybe sad people seek greater attention through tweeting such that P(tweet | happy) is significantly less than P(tweet | sad)
In such a case the ratio between happy and sad tweets would not contain much information about a geographical area. A better measure would be happy tweets per capita, and sad tweets per capita, both being distinct measures such that the happiest place could also be the saddest place.
There are plenty of enterprise SSD's that use SLC, both FusionIO and STEC offer SLC options
Yeah but who is using them?
These arent used for massive server farms because regular drive failures are inevitable regardless of what you use. SLC flash mainly sees industrial and embedded use where small amounts of space actually gets used. If you have enormous amounts of storage then it would be very foolish to use expensive SLC's.
Exactly, I was going to talk about how the 10K number was from years ago at a much larger process size.
The thing to keep in mind is that as write endurance decreases due to process shrinks, the capacity for the given area of chip increases so the overall write endurance (as measured in block erases per squared area) remains about the same.
An average capacity SSD can be written to at maximum erase rates for weeks without wearing them out.
Slashdot Mirror
Pixel Picture Clearer?
Still to cloudy to see.
Simultaneously in Topeka Kansas a 41 year old woman bludgeons her husband to death with a frozen honey ham. Coincidence? You decide.
...yet here is a story about contributions back to Linux being intentionally blocked...
..and cant pay their taxes with it..
Because Windows doesn't support anything else besides FAT and NTFS out of the box.
They also make the Nexus line.

Except we do in the case of Apple *endlessly*
Because unlike Microsoft that happily sells licenses for its IP, Apple steadfastly refuses to sell licenses for its IP and files lawsuits instead.
Google hasn't challenged this as they haven't directly been sued, for good reason I would guess.
Yes, the good reason that Google doesnt get sued by Microsoft is that Google pays Microsoft a licensing fee.
One of the fallacies you have is that if (A) cannot do (C) and (C) is desirable, then (B) must be better than (A)
Notice how there isnt any evidence about (B) at all.
So there you sit, trying to vilify the free market, without actually having anything of value to say.
You know who else acts like this? Religious people.

The ridiculous retirement obligation was decided upon well before there was legislation demanding that they own up and fund it.
The ones you didnt bother to search google for.

The tenure problem is not nonsense.

This is what I came here to say. Get this guys facebook/twitter/email credentials and have some serious serious fun.
Its called selection bias.

Remind me never to hire you as a programmer.
The web is all about bad practices.

Each time I've tried an SSD it's failed after a year.
Stop buying shitty ones.
