This "psychologist" can't see that people at these companies are more liberal than average simply because they're smart. Not just any kind of smart, but the kind of smart that knows how to communicate with lots of other people, even if just in the abstract, technologically, not just with their hillbilly brother-cousins. Which is why they leave those hillbilly hollows to go places where companies like Apple and Microsoft can function. Back in hillbillyland they'd be burned as witches, or worse as homosexuals.

In credit cards, charges over $50 are in a different category. Typically the cardholder is responsible for $50 and less, so those charges aren't screened by the credit corp as much since the credit corp isn't liable. This is why frauds usually charge under $50, even if just testing for a larger hit or assembling small (under $50) charges into a big charge.
So charging over $50, like TRAVEL and.jp do, would screen out some fraudulent charges on stolen card numbers.
We need onetime passwords instead of sharing plaintext credit card numbers.
Could this be the tech for sending messages to nearby phones without knowing in advance their specific network address (eg. phone# or IP#)? Phones could accept connections over Wi-Fi Direct from other nearby phones, locate them physically and show the message recipient just where the message is coming from. It would let us use our phones to say "hey, you!" or "psst" to people without everyone around knowing we did. People could shut off the messaging or screen it, or just see every message cast at them. But a way to do this would let us use our phones to augment behavior that we've appreciated for thousands of years, if not forever.
Can existing Wi-Fi devices, like notebook PCs, just upgrade software (downloaded from the Internet) to get the Wi-Fi Direct function? Or does it require new hardware?
When I was premed we experimented on fish with several neurotransmitters. Since I was in a frat, I eventually found myself doing shots of them (about 0.1cc each). They all tasted bitter.
They also gave me some stomach upset and one or two caused a little abdominal cramping. And I have become steadily more weird. Though since I started out weird enough to do neurotransmitter shots, so maybe I was headed here anyway.
I'd love to be able to use existing class libraries (like JDK), because I know them and there's lots of existing software dependent on them, but add features like these in Fabric to that class hierarchy. By making the existing Class Object inherit from something with those new features, like Class SecureObject. Then satisfy all the requirements of the newly featured objects in all the source code that calls the class library. But I don't see any way to insert other classes deeper towards the root of a class tree for universal changes across all that inherit from it.
How awesome would "the" bible become if it were rewritten by 3D graphics geeks? Every time it's been rewritten over the thousands of years it's been more a story of what the contemporary rewriters believed god told them. And the OpenGL people think god tells them to make computer graphics more open and faster, with superstition and tribal supremacy not really in the script. Lord save me!
Where are the Java classes for each of the formats OpenOffice reads/writes/renders, including the Microsoft formats?
With those classes I could easily embed all kinds of docs as executables that run anywhere a PDF runs. That scenario would really compete with Microsoft.
The entire point of Java on devices like Android ones is to "write once, run everywhere". It's impressive that Java works like that at all on even 100+ versions of the same basic Android OS, and presumably even more different kinds of HW. Does it work well?
It should. The best way to debug this would be for apps to develop to a reference Android simulator, then the open source Android OS gets patched to make the "golden master" run it properly. That would make a constant process of making Android support all the apps while it runs on all the different HW. Which is the OS' only job.
If we could get polling in targeted populations more accurate, we could use them as metrics for sunsetting legislation. If below 1/3 of the people directly served by a programme are not measured satisfied by the sunset review deadline (eg. 2 years, or 4 years, or the last day of a fiscal year 3 years from passage, etc), the law rescinds itself. Require 1 hour of debate at the review deadline, no matter how many people are satisfied. Really popular programmes won't be sunsetted.
A case like cell phone dissatisfaction is a good law to sunset like this. Just asking the same question: "Are you satisfied with your mobile phone service?" every year in a poll, and making the poll at the deadline count, would force mobile phone corps to satsify the market, or rules designed to do so would go into effect, setting ahead the sunset deadline. When it comes, if the programme isn't seeing even 1/3 of its people satisfied, it would end.
I thought UMA was supposed to give mobile devices a Generic Access Network that would switch them seamlessly among GSM, WiFi and CDMA networks. We're already getting phones calling themselves "4G" - don't we have working UMA/GAN devices by now.
Somehow Bush managed to completely create the "Homeland Security Department" with all of the biggest and most legally/physically powerful agencies restructured inside it. With new layers on top that put him in direct control, both as executive and as political "Unitary Executive".
Democrats have had bigger majorities in each chamber of Congress, and Obama has a bigger election mandate, than Bush had to work with.
Remaking the government is entirely possible. The problem is the Congress that likes it just as wasteful as it is.
Now we can see what remote operation of industrial machines can do with a 3 second roundtrip delay.
Then we can put people on the Moon from where they can teleoperate stuff they put in Lunar, then Solar orbit from the Moon. Launch starting with a solar-powered railgun into Lunar orbit, then a Lunar ground laser (solar powered) fires at the orbiting package carrying a ballast load, that the laser pushes away from the device, shoving it into Solar orbit, shooting out through the Asteroid Belt examining composition out there and hustling metals back to the Moon for manufacturing. If we can wrangle in a 10 minute roundtrip feedback delay, we've mastered a beachhead to the inner Solar System.
But Android could have added its own GUI toolkit, as it did. The Dalvik JVM is not party of any reason Java sucks for creating GUIs. So the question still remains: why Dalvik, when it just ghettoizes your platform.
It's really Google that undermines Android by using the Dalvik VM, with its (even if slightly) incompatible bytecode instead of actual 100% Java that can run on any properly compatible JVM. That move just opens the platform to this kind of disruption. Why did Google do it, anyway?
If Google had made Android simply a (perhaps heavily) patched Linux kernel distro, with its own variation on the GNU tools and userland, with a standard JVM, it would have tapped the entire large and dynamic Linux developer community, and all the apps that already run directly on Linux, as well as all the Java apps that already run on other devices, mobile/embedded/desktop/etc. Why fragment the Linux/Java platform that way, and depend on defending the isolated fragment?

Except when Republicans controlled the Congress and the White House, these donations also strongly favored the Democrats, if not by as much.

When incompetence favors one party, and isn't fixed, then there's usually more than just the initial incompetence at work.
"Let it happen on purpose" is an excellent way to get what you want without collecting the blame for it.

0.1cc of fish isn't enough to get you off.
It's not odd at all. An advanced version of these experiments also run on goldfish tests a biochemical basis for memory.
Zigbee lets devices locate themselves by radio triangulation. Can't Wi-Fi do the same for other devices in the network?
Or to myself. Neurotransmitters weren't the edgiest substance I soaked up in college, and I've lived to tell the tale.
Did you read the part where I was in a frat? What is "accomplish" supposed to mean? Shots gratia shots.
The neurotransmitters were ones like GABA and acetylcholine - both humans and fish produce and use them in our nerves.
In other words, I was already part fish. Thanks for explaining my longtime attraction to plastic castles.

But the JVM can do all that, and doing it with the same bytecode as Java means getting all the Java scale economies.
So the question still remains: why Dalvik, when it just ghettoizes your platform.
