Just a aside here. It's just an excuse to "use a expert in Europe" and "a consultant in India" to save a few pounds in the latter and not train and invest at home in anyone long term in the former. No one has a sense of community. And is adding to the pollution with all the air travel. Not just the business flights but the people who move about chasing jobs then have to fly all over to visit family "back home". I am not even for long commutes. People should train or bike to work. The Boeing 707 really wreaked havoc with England's districts. I know it seems silly to be against technology on a technology web site but there you go.
I totally agree, your servants at the shops should work silly hours to please master. No sense in letting them go home to their families at the same time, or enjoy culture. Thoughts like yours is why the US has such a fractured broken culture. It sounds great to me the shops are closed Sundays, and everyone is off at the same time.
I find it a little sort sighted we are just dumping our trash about. Here me out before you say, "well it is just one advanced probe." They used to say that about satellites.
More than 95% of stuff in orbit now is junk and huge resources at NASA and DoD are used just to track it
More than 500,000 pieces of debris, or “space junk,” are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft.

it will be much harder to remove later. By the time we are building moon telescopes and research bases, we will be using half the payload for tools to sweep the junk up http://science.nasa.gov/scienc...
Anyone who can get a computer and internet can learn coding. There are already tons of help forums and e-books, compilers, etc. How did anyone learn coding before this day?
The whole premise of the question is silly. Any corp could change to any other type of corp with enough work over time. This isn't hard physics. It's human fictional law creations. Easy way is to sell/spin of the ello part to a normal for profit keeping a foundation. Or as the post said, vote to change charters
Anyways I think their business modal is sound. I would gladly give facebook 20 dollars a year for some extra features. This whole "everything should be free even if it takes servers and people to run" is silly.
20 years is a lifetime in software. Windows 3.11 was current then. Based on your post either the project is replaceable or already replaced.
an open source project for over 20 years under a corporate aegis.
There is your mistake. The corp will do what it likes.
we have a sizable user community and the software is considered one of the de facto standards for what it does.
Both of those need qualifications. For example 20,000 people might sound like a lot but it is not a sizable user base. One of the defacto.... one of out of how many? If there are 2 or more standards that work nearly as well.... Well there you go.
If there are other projects that are viable with these problems just open a website, decouple from the corp and be active. Open source projects are very tough and not always a good idea. The corp you were under most likely made things 10 times as easy for you. Now you are going into the wild. There isn't any magic formula for recruiting volunteers unless you can con a few local schools into using the project as a internship/homework for degree students.
Digital Divide was always largely myth. No one ever got a basic education from technology. The powers that be lied to you. Digital divide was just good copy to write about. The Real divide was class and wealth, always was. Still is. Private school or a public school in rich area, educated parents that help with vocab and homework, safe environment, tutors, etc.
If anything tech heavy schools hurt more because of a magic blend of
A. the tech funds rush to the worse schools where it is the last thing they need
B. It likely caused more ADD like behavior
C Computers don't actually help you learn how to write or math or think better
Going into a job not knowing how to use MSword was not the problem. "Poor" people were not being left behind any faster then before. The debacle in some schools (for example see https://www.google.com/search?...) over reaching for tech instead of more teachers is a direct result of newspapers writing about the "Digital Divide" for over 16 years till the point the copy came to be believed.
The city just wants their cut of the commerce. No doubt they will frame it in the "for the safety and regulation of the city" terms.
The vested interests will also complain about fair competition. The problem with that is you can't stop more efficient businesses forever. Holding them back too long creates more problems when the crash finally comes
In the end the laws are just behind. There are all this under used goods and services in the cities. (Cars idle all day at work, rooms empty while people are out of town). Before the internet it was too inefficient to match a user with the seller. This is no longer true. Fix the laws and productivity of resources will increase. Heck even the city government needs to change and allow filing of business sales taxes online for small scale stuff.
Remember, this is inevitable anyways over the long term.
sooner or later gas will be $12 a gallon in the US. sooner or later hybrids will be cheaper, last longer and get even better mileage. They aren't going away.
it's not just the sentencing guidelines, it's the absurd laws. Every single person is guilty of at least 20-50 different federal laws at any one time. Before you know what happened, they have you stacked up threatening you with 20 to life. The jury trial is not supposed to protect just the innocent, but the guilty, and the guilty that did no harm to society, By making the process open.
The DA is a political office, and some DA's once elected, want high conviction rates. How do you do that? By going after the poor that can't defend themselves. A lot of these people might not have been living upstanding uplifting lives. Might of had some gray areas, doesn't mean they did what they were accused of. ".I could get a jury trial for a speeding ticket if I wanted" Maybe you could, but I was refused one. And in some states they are defacto not done anymore. Why don't you lie some more you whitebred elitist?
It's got to be more then $5000 for a federal case. Cases involve much more then the jury trial hours. There is the pretrial, with evidence hearings, etc. this stuff drags on for months or years before you get a jury. Unless you are rich, you are hiring a hourly rate lawyer, and it's going to be $150 an hour at least. including office hours billed. If you are lucky you might get legal aid or a firm to take the case pro bono, but those are super rare. And most legal aid, or student lawyers are just not very good.
Just make the DoJ pay the innocents FULL costs in any jury case that does not result in a guilty conviction. This would A:make them focus on real cases that matter. B:give everyone that is innocent incentive to go to trial.
Except facts don't lie and facts show christian parents that use abstinence only education have higher abortion rates and higher pregnancy rates. Stick your head in the sand if you want, but the facts are sex education decreases abortion and pregnancy rates in teens.
I note most of the historic references from the link were from the middle ages-pre Renaissance mostly. I wonder if in roman times if people got along better, and were apparently more productive for it, due to sleeping once? I for one, don't wish to replicate much of the post roman pre-enlightenment days in any respects. I mean if it was so natural, couldn't they find a a reference for it beyond homer in antiquity or biblical texts?
centre schemes we have in the UK - they do actually provide a reasonable benefit in my opinion - especially late night at the weekends where police resources can be concentrated where they're most needed (ie around the bars and clubs) whilst keeping an overview of the surrounding area.
You are a tool. How can you support such a system which such great abuse of power possible?
Fact is, even thou netflix only thinks it is only going to lose1 million of it's 25 million subscribers with the price increases last 12 months, meaning it actually is, or would have been INCREASING profits, sense the stock price took a 50% dive, the CEO is under huge need to make a change.
Does everyone see how retarded this is?
I know it's never going to happen, but we need to move back to a very long term only stock market investment rules view
note the article was about real names, logging in you still had a pseudonym before. Which it least protects you from random backlash, if not from a determined corrupt government, which could likely track you down with your logged AC IP anyway if they really really wanted to
Steam is Digital distribution, so of course it's up to you to make copies of your hard drive for back up's like any DD system. 'Activate a product' What are you talking about? You have to log in to Purchase and download a product, so of course it's already activated at that point. But once it's on your harddrive you don't need steam to play any non-Valve game that you bought through steam, just launch the *.exe.

Space junk in Earth orbit is completely incomparable to a crashed satellite on the Moon's surface.
Space junk in Earth orbit is completely comparable to a crashed satellite on the Moon's surface. I can do that too.
Your argument/analogy is for crashing it into the moon, rather than leaving it as orbit of the moon as space junk.
Not really. You could land it in a desert and collect it or put it on a course with the sun, burning it up into it's base elements

Because then you could spot the random alien ship parts that the grays also crashed there duh :)

The real problem is Marketing creep. "1000 gigs of data over here". Yeah well, "2000 over here". "Oh yeah??? We sell unlimited".
Anyways I think their business modal is sound. I would gladly give facebook 20 dollars a year for some extra features. This whole "everything should be free even if it takes servers and people to run" is silly.
The AI event horizon is legitimate fear. Once it passes that point it could quickly become smarter and smart well beyond our understanding
