"I use nothing from it in my day-to-day work as a Ruby developer".
You're a Ruby developer today. You may not be in 5 or 10 years from now. Then, your educational background will serve you flex into a different position. Ruby developers who know just that will only be Ruby developers forever, because they are one-trick ponies.
And yet it was created by Bush, the biggest funder of overpaid do-nothings this generation. Nothing gets the GOP going more than overpaying for an unaccountable paramilitary.
If you thought that was a lot, wait until you see what Google will have to pay for primary placement in Safari. I don't recall when that deal is up, but you can bet that Apple is going to be all too happy to stick it to Google for pilfering the iphone design for use in Android hardware.
Apple has a tremendous thing going with iPhone and IPad sales. They're none to happy that Google is trying to rock that boat. I expect Apple to force Google to pay dearly for placement, Apple will be just as happy to switch to Bing.
btw, if you thought Bing's existence was a waste of energy, it was built for exactly this kind of forcing costs up on competitors. It doesn't have to be widely used, it just has to be a credible threat so Google is forced to pay more than it otherwise would have.
Does a surprise increase of 300% to Mozilla mean that they are going to be able to hire more developers, and build/iterate faster?
This topic has made me wish that I was 15 years younger more than I have for awhile. Not only my age, but I would hate leaving my family at this point.
One thing that I haven't seen any single post mention is the (sexual) social life. I assume there is none, and that's partly how money is saved. Or is there a satisfactory amount of females to make it not totally a sausage party? Spending the best years of my life surrounded by dudes could leave one rich, but lonely. True?
You can't feasibly track every citizen all of the time with human officers.
You could very feasibly install a GPS tracker on every car everywhere, all of the time. Without a warrant required, there is no legal reason not to. The only things preventing it would be the cost of the GPS hardware and the cost of the data collection. Both costs will likely go down over time, the latter moreso.
I guarantee that if this is found to be constitutional, 25% of the vehicles on the road will have a GPS tracker within 10 years. For no better reason than "just because they can."
I manage 50K+ servers. I want to do some things with some of them, some things with others. My selection criteria is varied and boolean. It would be very difficult to select non-contiguous sets of 500 servers from those 50K without grep and awk.
I pipe them to tools. Those tools often require inputs in different syntax, so I use sed to transform the syntax as necessary.
Please don't let them take this management tool away. I couldn't do it with a GUI selector.
Neither. We have limited resources to defend our interests. If we overspend on an exaggerated cyber threat from China, we must needs reduce the resources allocated to something else. If we short a program that defends us from a threat that was actually understated vs. China's ability, we have made ourselves susceptible.
What about some kind of dead man switch? Like it emails you once a week, and if you fail to respond to the email within (24 hrs) it will send a password file to a designate.
It would really screw up inheritances, too. No joke. If you don't die until you have great-great-grandchildren, your own children would have had to do without your accumulation of wealth.
It used to be that the children could expect to use their parent's capital when they were of an age that they could put it to use. Now, children can maybe use it for their own retirement. Shifting that by a few more generations would alter familial ability to accumulate and transfer wealth.
It's not that complex a question at all. Why should I be responsible for financing the cost of bringing phone service to individuals who have chosen to live so far out that they can't get it at a price that they're willing to pay?
Raley is "director of healthcare solutions at IT integration and security company Axway" and the quote "very hard to encrypt tape" is attributed to him, not SAIC.
SAIC has not said if the data was encrypted on the tapes or not.
If you use Axway as a vendor, you should fire them.
The problem is that drives that you usually want to dispose of can't be mounted to write zeroes. That doesn't mean that the platters still don't hold data.
If i had an electric car, I wouldn't want the battery to be any less than 100% full at any time. Who knows, maybe I want to take it out on a max range trip. Therefore, there is no "spare capacity" on active car batteries that you can use.
However, in about 10 years tens of thousands of EV car batteries will be leaving warranty. They may not have the storage density necessary for vehicles, but they will still have functional storage capacity.
I can very easily see that those batteries then will be used to capture "green" energy, either at the industrial or the residential level. The consumer will already own the batteries, or recycle them and recapture some value. Base load problem solved. It'll just take 10 years until the warranties expire.
...cause they've reduced the chance to miss school by 20%. Hey, here's a thought! If we go down to one day a week of school, they won't be able to miss more than one day a week of school! Attendance will skyrocket!
In fact, of course, they are mandating missing school. They should factor the extra day at home into their attendance as a day being missed by every student every week.
This is why Google+ will fail. FB understands this, Google doesn't. And I don't think most folks on Slashdot, do, either.
Really, Facebook is a more of a female social vehicle. If you're not female, I think you'll have trouble getting it. Women, as a general rule, are a lot less private than men.
Frankly--I don't get it, mostly. I work at Facebook. I was leery of the job offer. Then I realized that my wife spends all damn day on Facebook. And that there are lot more women in the world like her than there are men in the world like me. I don't care for people to know things about me, and if someone knows my birthday I wonder why they care. However, my wife wants to share. The more people that know more about her, the better.
The fact that FB was created by a (male) borderline Aspie geek is ironic, but has probably led to the deconstruction of FB privacy barriers too--he just doesn't understand why people would feel like they need to be private. And in the internet age, he has a point--there isn't much privacy left anyways, like it or not. G+ knew things about me that I hadn't explicitly told it, like which cities I've lived in over the last 10 years. At least FB only knows things that you have chosen to share of your own will.
$86M seems like chump change. I'm surprised that MS hasn't bid up the value of that real estate, except that they would have to eat crow to support an OSS browser. But I'd think that they'd make that $86M pretty fast back if they could redirect firefox to bing. Or at least make Google pay more for the privilege;)
Maybe MS doesn't want Mozilla to have more financial resources, even if it would mean costing Google more money?
And btw, who accounts for the other $19M of royalty for that real estate?
I wish that Hollywood would understand that making money of movies is not a god-given right, that folks won't go to movies just cause they're there.
I saw an interview with Favreau, where he said something like this movie "gave him a chance to experiment blah blah". Tip: movies that want to be commercially successful should not be seen as a director's playground of "visuals" etc. They should tell a story that the audience will be interested in.
If Favreau wants to experiment, he should do it on the indie circuit with $5M budgets. Or accept that his $100M experiments only demonstrates that doing something for his own enjoyment are not what others will enjoy as well.

I've done some fencing, and what always bothered me about that scene was their failure to keep their points on their opponents.
You should keep the point stable and move the wrist/arm to create a cone of defense.
Perhaps when using the blade to attack instead of the point, as in sabre, the technique is closer to the PB fight?
No problem. Be prepared to pay for that luxury out of your own pocket. I don't want to pay for the unnatural extension of either your life or mine.
And yet it was created by Bush, the biggest funder of overpaid do-nothings this generation. Nothing gets the GOP going more than overpaying for an unaccountable paramilitary.
Take your fables elsewhere, troll.

If you can't spot the sucker at the table, it's you.
They'll just raise the volume of their newscasts to be above the normal level of the rest of the channel.
Who watches ads anymore anyways?

They wouldn't, unless you threatened violence against them. You could certainly insult them all you want.
Lord knows, we all do.

But your rant is not gonna sit well about a dead nearly centurian.
You don't have any idea if he ate his own product. He may have lived to 97 because he knew what was in Doritos, and so chose not to.
Try watching football on a DVR. Much more enjoyable.

GWB did. Did you raise a hue and cry then?
