i actually don't like to take management positions because, even though they pay better, the lack of hands on work is extremely frustrating. here let me put it in technobabble for you: PUBLIC NETWORK or how about INTERNET FACING SYSTEMS or maybe you like EXTERNAL
What about the taxes we already pay to the state for DOT maintenance? What about the income taxes we already pay? What about the vehicle taxes we already pay for 'regular yearly use' (at least in NC we do).
different taxes. if you are complaining about this, may i suggest you petition your elected officials to adopt a flat rate tax. until then, all of this has zero to do with the gas tax they are looking to replace.
What about the inspection fees we have to pay? What about tax-title-tag fees when we buy a vehicle?
you are complaining about state issues. my state doesn't have the same inspection fees as you, nor does my state have the same tax-title-tag fees when we buy a vehicle (and if you are an out of state buyer, there are no tax title tag fees). so something tells me this is going to remain the same because *gasp* it's not related to the gas tax.
What about the taxes added to gasoline and diesel prices?
whew, finally got threw the the ridiculous questions and found something related to this article. we will not ween America off of oil. period. oil is used in EVERYTHING today. that plastic keyboard you're banging on? yea. so your idea of taxing vehicles to ween the US off oil is a misguided fallacy. this policy is to REPLACE the gasoline tax which will see it's revenue stream decrease as hybrid and full-on electric engines become the norm (gas may hit $10/gal but that is moot when you only need one gallon to move 600 miles as opposed to $4/gal @ 25 gallons). so you may very well see gas taxes lifted (or more probable, lowered) as a mileage tax takes off.
Would this policy exempt electronic vehicles? Ethanol/Corn Derivatives? Motorcycles? Scooters?
you tell me. seriously, you tell me. this isn't something some overpowering dictator is pushing onto it's people, it is what your elected officials are doing in the interest of their people. you can easily write your congressman and senator and demand certain vehicles to be exempt. your voice isn't being heard? hire lobbyists to make your voice louder.
How about cutting the defense budget
as for your pedestal about the defense budget... just remember this. DoD creates a LOT of jobs. slashing the defense budget is akin to putting people on the street. i can tell you the IT industry alone would suffer from the amount of contractors that would flood to the streets. think dot-comdays multiplied across every industry DoD contracts to. maybe later, maybe gradually, but definitely not now.
but even if you taxed 100% of every single person's income
also, if you taxed 100% of everyone's income you have what is called socialism. you are correct if you are saying socialism does not create a balanced budget. you are incorrect if you are saying raising taxes does not reduce the deficit.
i run a popular site. the question is why should i enable ssl and thus need to expand my server farm to expend resources that you should spend for your own daily browsing?
don't connect to the playstation network and you won't get the firmware upgrades. they patch a flaw for security reasons and they tell you this if you connect to psn. keep a standalone ps3 and you can mod to your hearts content. this is why i owned 2 xbox 360s
anybody trying to find the rally with an iPhone will get the wrong directions if this is allowed to stand
uh no. dc resident here. you can see the lincoln memorial from the FDR memorial. while this google thing is odd, yes, if you can't find the lincoln memorial while you are standing around confused at the FDR memorial.. you have bigger problems to worry about.
Yes. In fact, if you watched the worldcup on ESPN online you were watching the stream coming from a local server hosted by your ISP.
Although, to be pedantic, not all CDNs host in every ISP's datacenter... only the really rich ones do. Everyone else just uses anycast to reduce latency. A good write up about anycast is here
There was nothing compelling Apple to remove DRM from the iTunes store, they did it because they didn't want DRM. Apple had pretty much cornered the portable mp3/AAC player market, so it's not as if they were pressured into removing DRM. Without the pressure from Apple, there's a good chance we would still be waiting for legal, cheap, DRM-free music downloads.
"Hi I represent Universal, Sony, Virgin, and EMI. We would like all content pulled from iTunes. Thanks"
Don't forget Apple corned the PLAYER market but not the DISTRIBUTION market. Amazon et. al could easily have offerend larger returns compared to Apple for going with MP3 only downloads. Apple decided to get rid of DRM and thus look like a good guy to the rest of the world. Don't get it twisted, Apple did not want to get rid of DRM but they had no choice.
uh the rootkit also enables you to break out of the vm. but the problem here is the application inside the vm didn't break out. it has no way of interfacing with the system until the vm creates an interface. so again, you cannot break out of the vm as a developer. there are no magic holes in davlikvm. if you re-read the thread it all started with people saying "omg can we just click and exploit?!" and the answer is no you cannot. you may be able to attack specific devices (again, see sdx-developers).
i do want to thank you for reaffirming my statement. we need to provide the security ourselves and protect our phones.
Ok as an android developer, you can't break out of the VM. period. that's the whole point of it. this exploit they are talking about is a kernel driver which you would include in a custom rom that you download from, say, sdx-developers (shoutout!). Now once you have a kernel rootkit, well you know the hell that can cause. But let's face it folks, mobile computing is here to stay. This is no different than having a rootkit on your windows box and tethering it through your phone. All the phone company sees are packets. It's also time to realize that our phones are full fledged computers. You gotta protect them.
you're missing the point. i'm saying we're willing to go to cheap labor to make an extra $1.20 per ipad. to answer the OP's question, we're obviously after profit otherwise we'd make electronics here in the states to boost our economy without needing to resort to ACTA
Considering it took deaths at Apple's iPhone manufacturing plant to get a 20% pay raise that caused a 0.7% increase in cost of making the iPad, I would have to answer your question: profits.
son, I was in university 10 years ago using my laptop in class. it's great for taking notes, though i am more jealous of kids nowadays because they have tablets and ipads. how i would have killed for that instead of using a wacom tablet and a laptop....
it was also to disguise the fact that i was writing video games in my intro to computer architecture classes
I imagine what they did was "record everything to a file", and then, later, "scan that file for beacons". In reality, they should have been doing "record beacons to a file", and then "read that file", but I can certainly see how the mistake was made.
You're ignoring the good things President Obama has done:
* Gitmo closed
* Iraq War ended
* Afghan War ended
* Patriot Act is gone
* Full employment
* Deficit reduced
* End of partisan politics
* No lobbyists in his administration
* Fast action on Oil Spill
you know, back in 94 you could have said "there are no other phone companies you can switch to?" and the answer to that would have been yes. and yes, while there were others, they cost 200x more because of ma bell's monopoly. ma bell said we know it costs $X to do this, so we'll just price it at $X-[minimal loss to ma bell]. no other company could compete, ma bell gets more customers.
just because there is a sliver of competition doesn't mean you can't monopolize an industry. see microsoft. see intel. see every fucking broadband company that's not cable. now, see apple. i don't understand how you people fail to miss the problem here. when you can use your market size to control the competition, you have a monopoly. period. apple has a huge chunk and they are dictating the control over the competition.
not to mention, who the fuck cares what platform i'm developing for, the fact of the matter is now I know I cannot create my own python-to-iphoneapp compiler because apple won't allow it. read that again, i cannot compete with apple's development products because their market size allows them to dictate what happens to their competitors. this has antitrust written all over it
ps ipad and ipod touch are not smartphones. you shouldn't lump them together only when it suits you. if you want to consider them smartphones, then apple has a sizable advantage over the smartphone market. if you don't consider them smartphones, then just the ipad and ipod touch ALONE crush the pda/tablet market. how is this not a monopoly again?

XBox 360's are cheaper and more compact than any computer that would fit the bill, and they have a nice remote
You're welcome.

TIL, don't sign non-competes. Did that once, never again...
They get indicted.
and now you understand why the government bailed out GM.
Could this have anything to do with it?
