Indeed, I'll bet it will. Competitive with AWS? They don't say that you won't need to have a site of your own, but if they're hosting you, why would you?
And it'll probably pay for itself, as the decrease in latency that you receive will improve your search ranking.
"Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people"
This section makes no sense whatsoever.
Which "American people"'s policy would they have to abide to, by law? In what world do you live that you think there is a common healthcare policy for all of the people across the land? If you want to be in the business of writing policy, learn how a basic contract works, first.
The 10th has been effectively trumped by the Interstate Commerce Clause. Which is probably the single largest reorienting of power in the country's history. If anyone realized what was happening at the time, it should have started a revolution.
I wonder if that was the intent of using the ICC, or if that's just how it has turned out; but the federal consolidation of power is absolutely been garnered by the expansion of that power beyond it's clear intent.
Or at least, they shouldn't be able to post questions on slashdot. God forbid they try to gain some understanding of things they don't know enough about.
I daresay that 10% of the population is young enough to firmly believe in Santa Claus. That does not translate into the majority of the society believing in him.
So if you don't use the GUI, why not simply buy Linux?
I think the biggest advantage OS X has over the Linux competition is the GUI. If you're ditching that, what advantage does CLI OS X retain over CLI Linux? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
I ask sincerely. I was a desktop Mac admin with an opportunity to go into Mac Server Admin. When intel Macs came out, I saw that there was no longer a competitive advantage of OS X/Xserve vs. RH on an HP, so got into cloud computing operational support.
While the survey shows infers that shift workers may be overweight, the issue extends far beyond this group, and into the general population of the United States, including children. Childhood obesity is at all all time high in America and that has nothing to do with the night shift.
So is this a problem particular to night shift workers, or is it a general problem of our society? The article says both. What a terrible article and study.
Can a true believer help me out here--why on earth would I, after performing a service for you, take payment in the form of bitcoins instead of the legal tender for the country in which the service was performed?
I mean, seriously. Until I can purchase groceries, or pay my mortgage or utility bill, with this stuff, it's about as useful to me as WoW gold.
I've heard a lot of stories about people hoarding and collecting bitcoins, but few about anyone selling something with bitcoins. And zero about people exclusively accepting bitcoins, meaning I can still choose instead to pay with the coin of the realm. You may as well try to pay me with fairie kisses for services rendered, I'm still going to call the cops.
Loyalty to whom? No one ever told them to stop. The provenance of Stuxnet can be reasonably inferred, but it's far from certain. For all they knew, they were characterizing a cyberweapon used by a (sometimes) ally that the US would want to know more about.
As I understand it, the issue in Japan was that, while the reactor scrammed automatically when the earthquake was detected, the rods still need time to cool down before they cool enough to no longer require power to cool.
How long does that cooldown process take? Or do even "cool" rods still require power to remain cool?
True. The Defense of Marriage Act should really make adultery illegal. That has had a much bigger impact on American Family Values than the so-called "homosexual agenda". Not only is adultery not illegal, I don't think it even helps that much with divorce settlements anymore.
If the plaintiff in a divorce can prove adultery, the defendant should, at the least, lose all of the joint marriage finances and child visitation.
Does this bill do anything about being able to patent "obvious" evolutionary changes to a product? That seems to be the issue that underlines most of the patent contentions--one company patents an idea, and another, seemingly independently, comes up with the same idea on it's own.
They should instead be negotiating with Google This is probably simply the first stages of exactly that. I fully expect a negotiated agreement in the end, that will mutually benefit both. And probably only wind up costing Google lawyer's fees, if anything. This is just Oracle reminding Google who was ultimate authority of Java, and to increase the negotiating position.
Both Apple and Google were able to solve this problem. Mostly, by not sucking. Also, acknowledging that they would have to compete.
MS is not used to having to compete (except perhaps in consoles), and there's no sense that they know how now. Ballmer was sent a message by the shareholders that he apparently didn't receive; he's either going to get scrappy, or get out. I'm betting on the latter.
They could reduce the size of the fuel tank by 2 gallons, and limit the speed. Smaller fuel tank would reduce weight too, right? Naturally it would also reduce range.
It'd a lot easier to reduce the capabilities to meet regulatory requirement than have to improve something to make it useful.
anyone with even the most remote fucking grasp of physics
You used 0 physics to rebuke his claim. You only supported your argument with non-analogous airframes.
I don't know if getting to 10K feet is possible with this thing, and I suspect it isn't--it wouldn't be matter of just air density, but also the rider would need protection, like air and temperature controls. Also the horizontal wind speeds would be a whole different factor, and it's not clear that he's taken those into account.
But shit, if it can fly stably at 30 feet at 50 mph that would be good enough for me. I could get off the roads, and therefore avoid traffic and use line of sight to travel.
Nonsense. Show me the ovens for the cremation of murdered humans and you might have a point. Indeed, I believe the Japanese detainees were regularly fed.
The Japanese internment camps were a gross abuse of power for suspect personal gain, a travesty of civil rights for US citizens, and of very questionable strategic gain. But to give them the moral equivalence of the Nazi-run concentration camps is historical revisionist bs.
First any engineer they try to hire may just balk at having to live in such a small town.
Data Center techs that want to work for companies with 100K+ sq foot footprints are getting used to living in remote areas. Especially in Oregon, which combines low power cost, large inexpensive acreage, temperate-to-cool dry climate (on the E side of the mountains), no sales tax(!), good network pipes, and low latency to California. Also Trans-Pacific network connections in Portland. cf Quincy, The Dalles. Those places don't hire folks that bang code and are used to living in the Valley.
And in most cases these people just got sold out to facebook in the form of massive Tax breaks for facebook
There are significant franchise fees paid by the power company to the local operator, even if there aren't a lot of wage tax income. That's basically free money to the community.
Bend falls into the "nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there" category.
I don't think that's really fair. Having just moved to Bend from The Dalles, the size of the town has been a real improvement in service/shops: Target, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, etc. Lots more stuff to do, and better for the kids. It's no Portland, but it's a pretty decent place to raise a family. And I'm happy to have more than 3 places to eat at.
I'm surprised you say that, actually, since you apparently live in the area yourself. If you've been here awhile, you've watched the phenomenal growth Bend has gone through in the last 20 years, and are probably horrified by it; but if Bend was still 10K I wouldn't have moved here at all. So for me the growth is a bonus, not a negative.
Not any more. When the old man died, the kids, who were commuting from Bend already, almost immediately moved the corporate HQ to Bend. Les Schwab manufacturing remains in Prineville, probably because the facilities would be too expensive to move.

Water breaking is not the same as home birth. Are you 15? Talk to a girl sometime.
Water will break at the start of labor, but does not imply that the labor will necessarily complete in the home.

What's the difference between "sunward acceleration" and deceleration?
I mean, isn't the probe generally traveling away from the sun?

Exactly. And you didn't mention from TFA:

the machine said to check some containers which we simply didn't check -- they were human torsos... no head, arms or legs
I think that would definitely warrant more investigation. What was the story?
Loyalty to whom? No one ever told them to stop. The provenance of Stuxnet can be reasonably inferred, but it's far from certain. For all they knew, they were characterizing a cyberweapon used by a (sometimes) ally that the US would want to know more about.

This is probably simply the first stages of exactly that. I fully expect a negotiated agreement in the end, that will mutually benefit both. And probably only wind up costing Google lawyer's fees, if anything. This is just Oracle reminding Google who was ultimate authority of Java, and to increase the negotiating position.
How does an air-breather possibly develop this mechanism to survive underwater?
I believe in evolution, but sometimes am simply astounded.
Both Apple and Google were able to solve this problem. Mostly, by not sucking. Also, acknowledging that they would have to compete.

too close a resemblance to concentration camps

Les Schwab is actuall HQed there
Not any more. When the old man died, the kids, who were commuting from Bend already, almost immediately moved the corporate HQ to Bend. Les Schwab manufacturing remains in Prineville, probably because the facilities would be too expensive to move.
