Google pays the patents. It also has a lot more to lose. If an individual handset manufacturer loses in a MS battle, that handset suffers. If Google loses *all* handsets, 'cept MS and Apple, lose. Best to keep it out of court.
or otherwise avoid risk that might, might arrive in 100 years.
100 years? Good luck with that shit. Theres not a legitimate scientist working in the field who thinks theres 100 years left to worry about it, particularly when we are observing the effects right now.
The only time I ever noticed resolution as a factor was back in the old days when I'd take my PC around to a mates house for lan games and he had this ridiculously high res (Like, oh probably 1024, it was the old days) to my shitty 800 , and seemed to be able to get headshots sniping from a distance when I couldn't bloody see him as more than a pixel or two.
Ubuntu's phone OS has one extremely attractive feature that if adopted by microsoft and working with intel could make for an absolute winner of a phone. What I want is to be able to get a functional and attractive smart phone, plug it into a dock and have a fully fledged computer, with a desktop keyboard and mouse that I can installl intel standard windows software on. It would require intel to pick up their game, but it would be awesome. Not a cut down RT nonsense windows that forces me to use a reduced catalogue of windows app, but a full blown windows OS with all the bells and whistles. Note, Apple could do this too, as I'm probably more comfortable on a mac than windows these days.
If you're a climate scientist who says there's no Anthropogenic Climate Change, there are lots of Fossil Fuel groups that will shower you with money - much like Tobacco companies would to any Scientists that said Smoking doesn't cause Cancer.
And predictably its often the very same "scientists" who where tobacco "experts" in the 80s saying that tobacco is harmless who now are "atmospheric scientists" claiming that CO2 violates physics and doesn't heat up when exposed to infrared light.
Agree 100%. Cheer-leading for SJWs makes me sick. But, it makes sense. Many people have trouble seeing consequences past the next 30 seconds. Pretty scary, isn't it?
Is this ever expanding definition of "SJW" now including protective fathers pissed off that creeps are harassing their daughters?
Well I guess I'm an SJW then, because anyone hurts my little girl and I'll put a bullet in their head.
C++ can be clean. The problem is really Macro metaprogramming madness tends to lead to some really strange code and sometimes straight up gibberish. I much prefer Objective C as well, I think its terse, readable and *usually* fairly resistant to a lot of the gunk C++ has accumulated. HOWEVER with that said C++ *can* be well written and clear. Hell even PERL can be. Its just that often it isn't.
Does it really matter how he got popular? Would you be so wary if it was the undead ghost of Charls Schultz instead of Mathew Imman? The guys a great cartoonist. People respond to his work. Its been like that since people started drawing funny men with giant tophats on pennyfarthings shortly after the invention of the printing press.
Why? People love the dudes art, he has a reputation for being reliable with this sort of thing, and people feel they are going to get good value for money.
Personally I'm more a poker kind of guy. Traditional cards. But hey, if someone else has a deck I'm sure it'd be fun to have a go. Especially with the kids.
Yep.The funny thing about reality TV shows is they don't really rate that well in the scheme of things. They don't rate poorly either, but not great. But they are *dirt cheap* to make, so TV companies just bulk order them because its low investment for medium returns. Star trek shows consistently topped ratings charts, but they where ridiculously expensive to make. So they stopped making them. "Duck tamers vs Nazi skinheads season 19" on the other hand won't get barely half that rating, but because it costs next to nothing, its the safer bet.
The end result however is that TV is dying. People are increasingly just reading the net, and at most maybe keeping up with a few well made cable series. The short term pursuit of profits have killed TV in the long term.
And this is the environment Mars One wants to base the future of space travel. I don't think so somehow.
I hear that it frees up people to do more creative things though.;)
Reminds me of a thing I read by an anarchist writer on how he propsed city tasks like garbage collection would happen. He said the city would ask children to do it, because children "like rubbish" so they didnt have to get paid.
$60,000 is $28 US an hour salary. Here in Australia thats what we pay kids shifting boxes in supermarkets. As a programmer I wouldn't get out of bed for a wage that low.
Trust me, if your country is uncompetitive, its not wages.
I'm not even sure if it needs to be about liberties. Just common sense. I can't *force* someone to get vaccinated, but I sure as hell can mock them as harmful teeth grinding retards and lobby my childrens school to exclude their virii infested spawn until their parents wake the fuck up.
I'm actually astounded by how often computer guys can be so bad at the science they claim to be upholders of. In no other industry have I come across so many guys with actual degrees who are convinced climate change is some sort of vast left wing conspiracy, that vaccines are some sort of evil big-pharma plot, and so on.
I mean fine, believe what you want, but don't call yourself an engineer when you hold so much science in contempt guys.
How many failed socialist experiments do we need to see before it's written off as a failure?
As opposed to the trail of wreckage from freemarket austerity?
But for that matter, why are you talking about socialism? Free power isn't socialism (Unless the power generators are owned and ran by the workers themselves) its just free power.
Similarly, there are university labs out there using rickety old 486s etc to run their test rigs. This because a vital sensor driver can't work on newer hardware, and the supplier has long since caved in or discontinued the product. And if they want to replace the sensor they will have to run a long list of basic experiments to make sure the old and new results line up. And that will set the lab back perhaps a year.
Up till a couple of years ago at my fathers workplace they still had a rickety old PDP11 running some software that relayed code to a communication satelite because they couldn't get the govt to approve $80K to port it to a newer machine.
That is until it finally died a couple of years back and it was either pay the $80K or replace a multi million dollar satelite. Of course you can add a half million dollars worth of downtime in to this too, because there was no way of talking to the satelite during development because the replacement was written AFTER the PDP shat itself not before.
The IPCC based on atmospheric and ocean science gives its best guess as 13 inches over the next 30 years assuming climate change isn't gotten under control. Worst case estimate goes as high as 6 foot by 2100, although thats probably unlikely and based on catastrophic run-away.
They might be trying to track down the alleged victims. If any of them do turn up, and turn up dead, I suspect this turns from an attempted murder life sentence to an actual murder capital trial.
No you CAN assert improper search whilst claiming a frame up. If a cop busts into your house without a warrant, pulls a bag of coke out of his pocket and says "This is yours", you can both claim the cop had no right to be in there AND that the drugs where not yours anyway. The same applies with the server. He can claim that access was gained improperly AND it wasn't his anyway. Then they have to prove both that it was proper AND that it was his.
And in fact I suspect thats exactly what they did. And the defence failed to prove those defences, or even prove reasonable doubt about search validity or identity.
You ask me, kids guilty as sin. I'd even feel sorry for him if he hadn't been busy trying to whack his oponents like some mafiosa wannabe.
Thats actually an interesting point. Its entirely possible that there are even better states available, however to reach from their local optimum to the even better optimum they need to cross a large enough number of mutations with poor or poorer optimization that it simply isn't going to happen. Unfortuantely evolution does not necessarily have the sort of "hill climbing" patterns for finding better optimizations a mathematician might employ, so its stuck there. The danger of course is if the trough becomes a rut the species might be poorly adapted to change.

Since we all got mothers, I'd argue misogyny IS misanthropic.

Somehow i don't think the guy had kids.
The Amiga also had a dedicated GPU and hardware audio acceleration a decade before the PC "invented" it, so its probably an unfair comparison.

Yep, and $90K for an experienced programmer is a steal. Back in my consulting days i could easily clock $200K a year.
For some reason I stopped. No idea why,
Thats not the projected rate.

At that point, he's *fucked*.

Yeah but thats true for every conviction ever. Despite that, the evidence seems pretty damning with this case.
