ISS wasn't about international cooperation. It was a jobs program to keep Russian engineers from offering their services to various middle east states awash in oil money.
Once again Oracle proves that it is incapable of delivering functional products on time and within budget. Why PHBs still get wood for them is a wonder.
Most people who need to use computers don't need to know how they work inside or how to program them. There is no "undeniable" need to boost CS anymore than there is a need to teach the masses about the details of running a farm.
Yep. They also have POSfor.NET library for interfacing with barcode scanners, scales, and receipt printers. Suffice to say it is also a huge, unreliable Piece Of Shit.
The problem wasn't on the voting machines with the "paltry" amount of memory:
After the elections are over the results are loaded on a 3.5-inch floppy disk and shipped to the canton headquarters where the disks are fed into another computer that adds up the votes before sending the results to the ministry. It was there that the problem occurred, the spokesman said, adding that the votes that ended up on the disks were correct.
There is nothing wrong with a simple dedicated system that is based on proven hardware. Most of the computers in use today have even less than 1MiB at their disposal. It is a fallacy of thought that you have to have an extensive operating system with virtual memory and other elaborate support systems to accomplish a simple task.
The GP is talking about Wacom's support for detecting the tilt angle (and other parameters) of the pen on their more sophisticated tablets. This isn't done with accelerometers but through extra signal processing in the sensor array which permits a battery-less pen. Wacom has all the relevant patents on this. They just don't want competition for Cintiq.
No longer Agilent anymore since the life sciences division is the big money maker and they spun out the true HP T&M group with the stupid name of Keysight. I dream of HP going bankrupt soon and Keysight buying back their rightful name at auction for a pittance.
This is pointless since patents are administered by federal law. Any troll wanting to extort money is going to sue in an out of state venue (preferably Texas), immediately stepping up to the federal courts.
That doesn't apply to bicycles and motorcycles because they lean and the center of mass is moved so that you don't depend on the width of the contact patch to provide added traction to prevent sliding.
Previous versions of Intel Anti-Theft Technology enabled authorized IT or service personnel to send a coded "poison pill" over the Internet to completely disable a lost or stolen computer and help prevent access to its encrypted data and deter theft. New Intel AT 3.0 enables the poison pill to be sent as an encrypted, authenticated SMS message by an authorized administrator over a 3G cellular network as well within moments after a missing laptop is turned on. When recovered, the PC can be similarly re-activated with another message. Its new Locator Beacon capability gives authorities the ability to pinpoint a missing laptop using GPS technology on select 3G modems.
Presumably this 3G radio can transmit as well as receive. I tried to find more informative datasheets but Intel's website sucks and I couldn't find more on it.
What's the point in having a "secure" HIPAA compliant network that anyone can connect any old computer to? If the admins had just locked out unauthorized MAC addresses this wouldn't have happened. It would have cost them less than 4.8 million to implement even at healthcare contractor rates.
BMI isn't supposed to be used for measuring this stuff. It was developed to be an expedient way to gather data on large populations of people. Its inaccuracies become smoothed out with a large enough sample size. It is always wrong to apply it to an individual and make decisions based on it.
The better way exists in the form of the US Navy body composition assessment which includes the circumference of the neck and waist. Nobody wants to take the time to do that in a clinical setting so it isn't used in the civilian world.
It's simple. Many cheap hosting providers only permit LAMP stacks and won't have anything to do with a long running Python process associated with their web server. That creates an ecosystem where better solutions can't compete against the PHP masses.
I don't have a sugar free diet by any stretch. I do have an innate loathing of excessive amounts of sugar and eat candy sparingly but it isn't by conscious choice.

and you don't have to have dark skin for it to apply these days.
In many H1B shops, particularly those with *ahem* immigrant managers it's usually the white workers who aren't a good culture fit.
Or...

I think GP was referring to gutless European econoboxes.
It also causes plastic fuel tanks to expand causing all sorts of issues remounting them after tinkering inside.
NASA should automate their operations so that it requires less manpower to manage these instruments.

H1B jobs are all publicly disclosed. You can search for them and see what areas of expertise "can't" be fulfilled by domestic workers.
and costs more (here)
Memorial day pricing, but gas here is $3.80 to $3.90 and diesel is $3.70. Sometimes it is cheaper.
That's pretty hypocritical considering how much hardcore porn is indexed by Google image search.
DDT isn't banned around the world and it is still widely used to fumigate villages on a limited scale.
Who the hell writes up slides with Comic Sans as the font.
They don't always go away. One troll amazingly sat on the rec.bicycles.* groups for years and hastened their decline with his ceaseless vitriol.

How else are people going to listen to his remote satellite uplink?
