It feels like every couple months someone at Epic is all "X is killing us!" Maybe they'd make more money selling games if they sold more than mediocre shooter games.
It's like if Ford only made cars and complained that the car *AND* truck makers are selling more product.
Not having to worry about the basic shit would afford me more time to focus on education that can be applied towards advancing our society as a whole.
If you're lazy and don't want to work, fine. I still have no problem putting into a system (since my individual contribution is rather minimal) that let's you be that way. That way you're out of others way and not out looting.
We should be focusing not on how each person can get away with contributing a bare minimum because that's all they feel like doing, but how society as a whole can advance. If that means giving token handouts to people that don't care, or worse, steal from others to provide for themselves, to keep things docile, fine.
The advancement of humanity and survival of the species going forward is more important than you, a blip on the universes radar.
I signed up for a Comcast for Business plan. I pay about what you'd pay for residential internet+TV (minus HBO and the like) with them for just internet. I get 22/5 speed + $10 for 5 static IPs for no reason really. I do host stuff so "set & forget" is nice.
I could do residential for less at similar speeds, but the extra money has been worth it. No caps, no throttling, local number I call for tech support (with scheduled service appts, not "between 12 & 5", and they'll send a tech @ 3am if necessary. I had one show up at my house while I was still on the phone with the support guy).
Sure it's pricey compared to Finland or something, but I use the hell out of it, so it's been worth it to me. You can get a slower biz package for around 60. I went higher because I share it out with the neighbors in my building over wifi (though I limit their max up/down:P).
Rather how I look at it. Let's see, you save X amount by not having to provide me a workspace, office supplies, the electric bill. How's about rather than an payCUT you give me a little bump to offset my extra expenses?
Wow I really f'd up the beginning of that sentence. That's what I get for breaking my own rule: always hit preview, no matter how short n sweet you think you're being.
Despite being costing less to see the same movie, this is another reason I only goto the cheap theaters. The ones near me have not done any upgrades to show 3D flicks and only show the 2D versions.
They are a hardware/telecom company, not a software company.
Indeed. They can't even make a skin for Android that isn't a piece of shit. They expect they'll be able to make an entire OS that doesn't suck? It's their money, I guess.
University of Utah conducted a study funded by NEC in 2003 and a follow up in 2008.
According to their test subjects higher resolution, more pixels, was the sweet spot.
I think this is where the "Multiple monitors make drones work better!" mantra came from. Most monitors were in the 17" to 19" - to get the pixel sweet spot you needed more of them. This was great selling point for monitor makers.
In the 2008 follow-up, they found productivity benefits begin to taper if you get above 26"-30" and resolutions higher than 2560x1440.
I can't find a link for the 2003 study. Here is NECs propaganda for the 2008 one.
And we build more things here rather than ship from overseas.
Then food cost goes up.
People grow more of their own food.
Both things we did more of 30+ years ago, but we don't anymore because "the economy couldn't handle it."
The economy that disproportionately enriches the top 1%, btw.
Also, look at 9/11, Katrina, Japan... Major disasters these days are met with extreme outpourings of support and help. Food riots would likely happen, but I believe humanity would deal with it in stead and not devolve into cavemen.
Flash seems to be busted for me on Chrome 10. The controls will not work always on youtube. also most of the time if I click a different tab then go back, Flash is replaced with the content of the other tab (it shows what would be in the same location if I was on the other tab). This is happening on my work machine, work laptop and home PC.::sadface::

I look at it from a different perspective.

"we leapt into action"
In other words, some of you collaborated to solve complex problems the idiots couldn't figure out?

MS's BPOS were not FISMA certified back when they were awarded the contract (they still aren't).
If that was really a requirement by DOI, neither should have gotten the nod.

Now that they bought Nokia, the worlds largest handset maker, I'm sure they will.
(this is a sardonic comment. i realize they did not actually *buy* the company.)
The pirated Windows 98 key I used back then in the second pic.
Someone is feeling mediocre.
It sounds like they were adding some campus specific default messages into the system to use in a hurry.

The way I took this, they have a bastard mobile OS that is feature complete for tablets but not for smartphones.
It sounds like they're waiting to tighten those features up. I, personally, prefer that to them released something they feel is incomplete.
"Google doesn't 'get' open source!"
"Google is being disrespectful of the community!"
"Google is just a big corporation looking out for its bottom line!"
"Google spends millions developing and marketing a mobile OS and releases it for free!"

Really it does. It's just you're so full of it, it fills the bowl. It only looks like it's on top of the water.

Isn't Android the market leader right now? With Apple pretty much splitting 2nd place with RIM?
It would seem to me that having this roll out in devices belonging to #1 would only strengthen their position.
Or does the RDF extend to markets everywhere? Will businesses avoid implementing it due to the runner up not having it?
I'm genuinely curious. Not trying to troll.
Good luck getting one of those in your hands. My coworker right across the aisle ordered one in January. Still not sure when it will ship.

I have been ejoying the FF RC though.
They've used the premise of killing jobs to their benefit before, RE: Boehner and his flaming the budget crisis flames.
Republicans de facto platform is whichever one will get them elected.
Seriously, Taco, just turn the site into an RSS portal with a comments section. The horrid summaries, old news and dupes are not helping.
Slashdot was ahead of the game 12 years ago, but now it's a dying horse. Time to try something new.
Wait. These pictures indicate it it is. Sorry, everyone! False alarm.
I'm so embarrassed.
your method (which requires a lot of typing) doesn't work.
Not a Linux user, I assume?
