This, I've been turned down by a number of jobs for not having enough experience. The one that hired me on had me working at the level of experienced developers within a month of figuring out the new system...
I wouldn't compare facebook and similar to TV with advertisements. In TV the content providers get paid for good content (from someone's point of view anyway), in facebook the content providers just loose time...
I've heard it suggested that anything that makes laws harder to pass (ex balanced parties) is a good thing as only the laws everyone can agree on will ever be passed. Not sure if that encompasses all laws these days though...
If an employer cannot fire you just because they want to then conversely it would seem you would not be able to leave a job just because you want to. Freedom doesn't work too well when it isn't bidirectional...
My input to that is just personal non researched experience as a SW Engineer. My first answer is always for the best solution for the long run (from my perspective) but often get shown why that will cost too much in the short run to make good business sense. Sometimes for reasons I can understand and other times making me want to hit the business type person, similar to the recent Dilbert http://www.dilbert.com/2011-02-03/...
Well school is supposed to be about teachers measuring students ability to learn. Jobs are about people being able to accomplish something. A job may not care as much how you got it done but if you finish one program by copying from the internet but can't innovate something new for your next program, your value is limited...
The problem is while engineers look for the right way to do things, business people look for the low cost way of doing things. Engineer led companies go broke but people love their products while business led companies make money but are roundly hated. (ok, over simplification but still).
If each unit could cut power to the level required to reach a nearby unit, the power requirement would be a fair bit lower. Probably not enough though...
You know that is a rather interesting idea. Remove cell towers in areas where there are plenty of cell phones and use peer to peer networks. Though that idea has probably already been blown away for reasons I haven't read yet...
Depends on the application, for viewing of large, complex circuit diagrams or UML diagrams the tables look very promising. Not sure that is worth $500+ but if someone can produce a tablet with excellent display capability at very low cost, I'd like one for hardware/software development...
Considering the higher percentage of malware to result in piracy compared to most everything else, perhaps they are just trying to avoid the malware sites...
Still it seems like kinetic energy recovery system KERS like used by some Formula 1 cars would be more effective and this technology is getting pretty well tested in the race cars (though not 100% reliable...). Perhaps part of the issue is having enough mass to be effective without adding weight to the vehicle.
I lean towards nanobots that gave Neo wireless access into the machines and allowed Smith to take over a person's brain but yea, it kind of requires reality stretching...
I'm not an expert in astronomy by any stretch (engineering is my area of expertise) but my understanding of a lot of astronomy is a lot of what we observe is interpretation.
Most of physics was determined by watching something move and producing a model. In astronomy we can't actually watch things move (much beyond our solar system anyway), instead we look at light and try to translate this into the motion that we can't see (primarily using red shift).
What if red shift or our other ways of interpreting this light is wrong? Not so much about the whole theory (though has red shift ever been detected in an object we can also measure the actual velocity of?) but even if red shift is not linear or off by a certain factor, how much would that mess up the existing theories?
At my college, Linux was a Junior level class after OS, Networking and Data Algorithims. The focus however was on use of Linux command line tools, kind of like learning how to use SQL...
Check out pandorapress.net. The device is out of its latest crysis and if nothing else happen mass production is a go.
The slightly longer story is they finished the cases last spring with production beginning in the summer but the nubs were found to be defective. After a few months of nub redesign production has started back up. ~1500 have been shipped and they are completing and shipping about 300-500 a week now.
If you are concerned I would probably monitor for a week or two and if nothing happens then it could be smooth sailing from here.
Note, I'm just a customer for open pandora, not part of production so some statements may not be fully correct...
Yeah, the open pandora gaming system http://www.openpandora.org/ got blocked on e-bay for a while as a pirate system that could play imports. After some discussion the pandora people were able to get e-bay to understand it is simply a tiny linux laptop and has little more/less capability than any other computer being sold on e-bay...

So since my netbook wont play BLOPs it is bricked and I will ask for a manufacturer replacement of a device capable of what I think it should do.

I'd like to see a comparison of this poll vs the number of people who admit to cursing. Wonder how it would match up?
Agreed. As I said, my comment was an oversimplification and you've captured it more completely.

Erm, the latest Archos products have capacitive screens or are the too new since they were released in the past few months? http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_101it/index.html?country=us&lang=en

Not saying big companies aren't performing CYA.

Um, only 1 exists? Though I know the original series and the Raven (do I really want to watch it?), what is the third one on tv?

The TV series was good but otherwise...
