That's what we do. For 20% of full cost per year we're on hand to provide support for our product. Often you don't have to do much more than hand hold, but clients love the security of knowing they have the expertise of the developer at their disposal.
That's ancient history; back in the PalmOS4 days. Palm's were great then, but they were engineered for 90s hardware and didn't scale well to leverage naughts technology. That's how Windows CE caught up. Not by being a better OS, but being a slow, crummy OS that was properly positioned when hardware caught up with its requirements.
Yuppie Enticement is actually a strategy used by city planners to develop blighted communities. Heard a great story on this on NPR a year or so ago. Basically, you encourage all the artists, musicians, and gays to move into an area and make it hip and interesting. Then, the white bread yuppies who want to be hip and interesting after working their 8-5, 5-6 figure, suit-and-tie jobs move in. That drives up prices on rent, encourages development and businesses to move there to exploit all that yuppie entertainment budget capital. Ba-da-bing, you've got a nice clean area. The gays, artists, and musicians get priced out and go look for a new blighted community where they can afford to live. Rinse, lather, repeat.
I believe the idea originated with Greenwich Village in NYC.
The downward pressure on nationalizing education at is core is about an attempt to reduce taxes. Look at the percentage of your local taxes going to education. I was surprised by how huge it was which suddenly made all of the anti-DoE, anti-teacher rhetoric more understandable. The proponents think that removing federal constraints will allow local governments to reduce education commitments, pursue more "profitable" solutions, then reduce the local tax rate. If schools suffer, who gives a fuck because your kid is in private school.
"Without a doubt, this post will get modded -1 disagree"
Followed by a hyperbolic attack on US researchers. Yes, Sir, you deserve to get modded down. Kind of like saying pretentiously, "I know you'll object because you can't handle the truth, but your mother is a dirty slut."
Seriously, not to knock the pursuit of knowledge, but what is your goal? Are you looking for a layman's understanding? There are tons of great lectures on YouTube giving you the basics. If you want any more than that, animated graphics won't do it. You're going to have to crack open a book.
And, I say this 140 pages into my old Calculus textbook in an effort to relearn for a math class I'm taking in the Fall after a 15 year absence.
There are a lot of really good sci-fi films that have come out in the last 10 years or so. Peculiarly, rarely do they do well in the theater. So, if the community isn't willing to back the product why cater to it? Hell, a cheesy-looking Snow White/Conan mashup just dominated last weekend because the target audience supports their genre.
Perhaps you just don't hear about their childhoods after they've found success, but I always hear stories about these geniuses graduated X years early, but rarely about their professional accomplishments.
It sounds like they were surviving fairly well which would indicate they weren't so injured that they couldn't keep themselves going on the island. And, if they were fishing (and not relying on birds/eggs) they could probably survive indefinitely. So, what did them in?
You look for anything that might be a product and you're going to be wading through pages of vendor sites. They should drop the shopping app altogether as it's already integrated with basic search.
Shameless articles about torturing animals (even insects are beneath this) and astroturfing posts cheering them on. Wag of the finger, site I used to love...
It's cooperative effort to confront a huge, insidious problem on the internet. I'm as paranoid about government control, but this is hardly a blip flashing on my radar. My only problem is that by giving Homeland Security a vital role, it's that much more unlikely that it'll ever go away.
I think I know what you're implying. It's a very common refrain to claim that the US doesn't really have much poverty based on metrics like TV ownership. But, the cost of luxury tech items in relation to salaries is far different today. Fifty years ago, owning a TV was like buying a used car. Hell, I can get the big screen I bought 5 years ago at 1/4 the price and much higher quality (damn it!). Never mind the depreciation of buying these items used. Same with a PC.
No, you can't compare poverty in sub-Saharan Africa to poverty in the worst of Detroit's slums, but it's poverty nonetheless.
Yes, it's a waste apparently when poor people do it, because they're poor. For the rest of us, it's good old fashioned American technology-based entertainment.
Pretty weak excuse that is. Practically every forum has some sort of rating or "flag this" system. Plus, a heuristics system can flag content that needs to be screened. No one needs to slog through 8 hours/day of "my baby is so smart" videos.
That theoretical figure might be an excuse not to hire screeners for 100% coverage, but not an excuse to do nothing.

You're not thinking like an editor. Bullshit headlines generate clicks. Huzzah Slashdot! Huzzah authors!
You left out that we have huge peckers!

WebOS was a different beast.
Go write those algorithms that figure out the stock price of chicken wings blips $0.02/share whenever it rains +2 inches in Nebraska.
Assuming you're not from a country where security issues might be a concern.

It didn't arrive back on Earth the day before it left. Pwned again by relativity, USAF!

"More human than human." It just means the Tyrell Corporation was working on it.
Wow -1 Flamebait? I guess all you song and movie torrenters have taken over Slashdot.

That's ridiculous analogy. You want to treat cancer by incinerating victims, too? But, since there's a slam on MS, I see you're getting modded up.
