I have seen more of this country then most. Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado is one of the most god forsaken places I have ever been to. Flat, ugly, brown, and no trees. In all directions as far as the eye can see, It gets, maybe in a good year, 15 inches of rain.
Chinese engineers working for American companies in their China office have been stealing trade secrets for years. There was a famous case about 10 years ago where a large network equipment manufacturer based in the Silicon Valley had their entire CVS and Subversion repository stolen. How they found out was the American company had put an Easter Egg in the code and when they poked the software running the network switched made by a Chinese company the software printed out "Copyright " Which was the name of the American company.
This shit has been going on for years and no one seems to want to do anything about it. The top management only see the size of the Chinese market and, really, the management is only there to collect their stock grants and then they are off to the next sucker^h^h^h^h^h company.
Yeah, what do you do when everyone who wants a smartphone has one ? Unless you are one of the Apple fanboi who HAVE to have the latest, the phone you have is just fine. I've got a Galaxy S7 that I got for free for renewing my phone contract. Everytime a new phone comes out my attitude is "I'm not going to get a new phone unless either this one dies or I get it for free." I mean, do you really have to have the latest?
Not as easy as your think. The startup cost would be enormous. Very few engineers know, in detail, about thin film technology, it's kinda a lost art. just ask Kodak . The equipment would have to be custom made, no one has manufactured them in decades and the old one have long since been hauled off to the scrap yard.
Because the GOP's basic position is "We are pro-business and the rest of you guys can go fuck yourselves." It's business can do no wrong even if they are caught on video anally raping nuns and drop kicking puppies & kittens.
Nice try, skippy. As a shill do you get paid in dollars, rubles or bottles of cheap vodka ?
I despise Hillary as well as the criminal Trump. The DNC rigged the primary against Sanders who was getting a majority of the votes because a) Wall st. wanted Hillary and b) it was her "turn". The so-called russian bullshit has been proven, the russian did hack into various systems to try and influence the election and they are at it now as we speak.
Christ on a pogo stick, are we really back to this bullshit? Nixon trotted this out , his "Silent Majority". He had a secret plan to end an undeclared war backed by a silent majority. No one does bullshit better than republicans and the criminal Trump is following Nixon's playbook except the criminal Trump does not read and he damn sure can't retain anything he has been told. The guy is stupid, senial Nixon.
Don't hold your breath. I'm not sure it is possible to say the words Microsoft and security in the same sentence. Actually that sounds like a punch line to a geek joke.
The place to look for civilizations that pre-date us is, of course, Antarctica. We really have not done much exploring of the Transantarctic Mountains. Who knows what might be found there.
I, for one, welcome these bidding wars. This kinda of madness has caused the value of my house, which was really screwed up when I bought it 20 years ago, to quadruple. Best investment I have ever made, it's gonna fund my retirement. Of course I'll have to leave town when I sell but I'm done with cities. Time to find a deep northern wood to disappear into and fuck the world.
The wife and I have done Berkeley to Portland, about 600 miles, in 7.5 hours several times. Just pack sandwiches and a thermos of coffee and combine gas stops with bathroom breaks. Yeah, it's a long day but it can be done
You have a poor understanding of what a robot looks like. Robots don't sleep so no need to wake. They don't drink coffee, take bathroom or lunch breaks. They don't go home. They don't get tired and aside from occasional downtime for maintenance they out perform humans in almost every manual task. Because of capitalism, maximize profits and minimize costs, most manual processes will be done by robots in the near future. It's inevitable.
This and the fact that wages, adjusted for inflation, have remained flat for almost 40 years and the cost of housing has been rising much faster than inflation means that we are creating a generation that most will never own a house. A significant percentage will not start families. You might not care about this but keep in mind that since the end of the Second World War the American economy is dependant on young people getting married, buying houses and starting families. Consumer spending represents 70% of GDP. Buying a house and starting a family causes a good amount of spending on various goods and services. Without that economic activity its going to knock a hole in the American economy.

$10.00 says she is gone before New Years. Dad is a billionaire, $10 million CAD is chump change to him.

Steve Jobs dies and everyone in Apple forgets how to think.
Unfortunately Ian Murdock has departed this life.

I, for one, welcome our new fascist overlord, Donald Trump.
