You're missing the point. It would cost $10,000 there, and you would _not_ be able to ship it because the damn thing will be stolen... I'm sure its hurting their imports considerable too... otherwise there wouldn't be such a deman.
This is because there's an extremely large black market in Russia. They won't accept anything above $100 because it'll get stolen, and then UPS has to pay for the insurance.
No offense, but I believe that the majority of the Linux market is due solely to "momentum" and people who are investing in "cool shit" rather than profit margins.
"My IP agreement with the company forces me to sign over any inventions"
Its not the people applying for the patents that is the problem, its the Patent office. Besides, you are legally obligated to anyways... unless it is so broad that you believe it not to be you "invention".
Looks like they were just going after companies... I highly doubt any emulators would be targeted, since they're not ripping off someone elses games... they're just allowing it to be executed on a different platform.
I see this as excellent recognition that ET mostlikely exists. SETI is being looked at as less of a "neat toy" and more as a vital tool in discovering that maybe we're not alone.
Wrong, we paid them last year. Plus, its great knowing that all 5 soldiers of Canada's army is at the disposal of the UN. By the way, did you guys get your military back yet? Last I heard it was on a cargo ship that refused to give it back to you guys because you wouldn't pay the bill....
Please, bring up some more irrelevent arguments for this article. Here's a thought: I'm going to make this super strong material that'll let me build a space elevator that'll let people get there on $222 each way! Oh well I have no clue what the hell I'd make it out of, and I have no clue how much it'd truely cost, but if it cost X, and you split it up by Y, etc. etc.
Give me some facts. Research it. Show the material. Do some tests. Put up some data. None of this assumption crap. The Scientific Method is what defines science and helps us describe our environment. I see no evidence of that here. Just a bunch of assumptions and "cool shit". What I'd love to know the most is: How the hell do they go about constructing this? Obviously from the top down. How many rockets does it take to put this amount of crap in space? How the hell do they expect to get an asteroid... thats a big deal... How do they expect to build it? People, machines? etc. etc. etc.
Its a long into space; not nearly as far as your brain however... its out there somewhere.
You completely missed the point. Its a natural selection type process. The only techies that don't go to college are the techies that are still techies, and not working in McDonalds. They're the ones who are smart enough to skip school and still make it by with good impressions on people.
I think that the vast majority of techies you see in the industry without a degree are because they are genuinely smart people. You never hear about the stupid tech who dropped out of college and is now working at McDonalds, because the fact that he's working at McDonalds removes him from the tech industry.
What I find interesting is how they say its a "small" black hole thats gobbling up "lots of stuff". Yet the only way we have of detecting black holes is through the amount of x-ray radiation that escapes at the poles, and heating of dust as it rotates and falls inward.
A black hole that has contradictory data about its size would obviously point to the existence of a seperate unidentified object.
Verizon == Bell Atlantic == The sorriest excuse for a competitive company in existence. I've completely boycotted them. I no longer have phone line and just use my cell. I highly suggest others do the same.
What a crock. The problem isn't that old coders aren't worth anything, its that any old people who were/are coders have either JUST entered the field, or left the field for upper-management jobs. Thats leaves an 50 y/o coder still in the job with shit pay because he's probably not worth shit. Thats how I see it, in a nutshell.

Well you're completely wrong. 10% unemployment rate doesn't mean that it'd be higher with a capitalist system.

With a 4% unemployment rate, I'd say the US does a damn fine job feeding its people. I should say the people do a damn fine job feeding themselves. This is in contrast to the unemployment rate of a country like France or Germany which is around 10%.
I agree with you though, its the economic structure of the US that allows it to be dominant. Socialism in Europe is the only reason why they can't become a competitive entity.

When it ostensibly succeeded in leveling standards of living throughout a society -- as one socialist once commented with enthusiasm -- it came with 'all people being equally shabby.'" -Alan Greenspan

I've got 256MB ram on my work PC (Win2K, 650) and 128 on my home pc (Win98/RH, Dual 300).
There are two things to point out about my 650 mhz Win2K Professional system:
;)
- Its mostly stable, good enough to be given the name as a decent OS.
- Its about as slow as my 300mhz Win98 machine at home.
I see it that we've sacrificed speed for stability. Of course I hardly boot to windows anyways, so none of this really matters to me
or just create a cgi script that does an http forward to the document.
I guess so, since its been pulled.

This is an interesting examples of one of the pitfalls of being a market driven company instead of an engineering driven one.
Can you give me an example of a company that is not market driven?
The scaling problem will never be fixed in Gnutella without having some sort of central server. Its just how the numbers work out.

Its true, he had twice as many glial cells, and at the time of his death, nobody knew why or if it had an impact on his intelligence.
Correction, Fusion works, we just can't produce it without destroying everything on the block.
