My brother runs the recycling facility for Waste Management out of Port of Tacoma. It serves most of the northwest area. They are making money hand over fist. He says that WM is expanding it's recycling business, not shrinking it.
I replaced my 17" MBPR hard drive with a 480GB SSD made by Corsair (Force GT model.) Man, it just screams. It's the standard 2.5" form factor that most laptops use.
OK, so our company's software IS what you define as COTS. It's in production use by a number of commercial entities such as BP, Deuchebank, General Motors, Wells Fargo, etc. By your definition we shouldn't have any trouble with the feds about offshore development.
That being said, the vast majority of accounts require some customization to fit the customers' needs (similar to the way most databases require customization for customers' use: creating tables, developing procedure code, etc.) This is all done within the product's development environment (none of the core source code is touched) and all customization work is done by cleared personel.
Our software does data integration. While the software itself manages sensitive information, there's no sensitive information in the source code. I fail to see how letting foreign nationals develop open source software is somehow more secure than letting them develop ours.
I don't believe the concern is letting DoD employees contribute to open source. I believe the concern is allowing foreign nationals to insert malicious code into software that is used at the DoD.
So if the DoD is the leading user of open source software by the feds, how come, as a supplier of software to the DoD none of my company's development can be done overseas?
Actually, a LOT of people I know who have iPhones have this same complaint.
Don't get me wrong, I love the iPhone and the lack of these features was not enough to prevent me from getting one. It's just that it would have made the product that much better to have it.
Oh, I beg to differ on this one. I would KILL to be able to replace my battery in my iPhone or plug in a memory stick (and save email attachments to it.)

Does this mean that Schrodinger's cat will be involved in the testing somehow?
Well, you could reduce the buttwidth to increase the utilization. I think you'll find, though, that simultaneous pot sharing is going to be a non-starter for your user community. To say nothing of dealing with backup issues.
OK,
First off... How could you NOT NOTICE an octopus, no matter how small, on your SCUBA tank after taking all your gear apart?
Second... What the heck were you doing with your tank at a gas stop?
Except that it's not the death of Usenet. Merely the death of Comcast's newsfeed to its customers. There are plenty of other ISP's who still provide Usenet feeds and also plenty of news provider companies.
"Push or pull" them? I love how the site talks about realigning the spin of a mountain-sized object "to a preferred direction" as if it were as easy as hitting a tennis ball a certain way.
A for effort, but F for ignoring physics.
Ah, thanks. I had thought with the current theory of the Moon having been spun off the Earth after a major collision, it would have an Earth equatorial orbit rather than a solar ecliptic one. Interesting.
Umm, is it just me or does the orbit of the Moon (the path it takes across the screen) not really match the rotation of the Earth? There seems to be a good 30 degrees of offset between the axis of rotation of the Earth and the axis of the orbit of the Moon. Shouldn't those two be fairly close?

It's probably the closest and most easily understood real-world analogy you're going to get.

So easy, a CAVE man could do it. Oh, wait, what?
Surprised they didn't call it "kewler".

And yet some of the world's worst atrocities were committed (and are still being committed) in the name of those very same religions. Hmmm ...

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!
Ah, but if you plugged the keyboards into two different USB ports, they would look like different devices to the host.
