He does know what he's talking about. The telco's make anywhere from 5-20% margins on any of those phones. The iPhone I think is around 10% gross margins, which means by the time you deal with your own distribution channels and activating it etc you're just covering costs.
Its not in the article but it is in the linked-to conference that they held at CERN where they went "Look, we would like to publish this, and we're not saying its a discovery just yet, we think this needs more people to look at it."
Then they fielded about 4 hours of questions from some of the brightest minds available and shot them all down.
You were rated troll because they accounted for all of the time settings. Clocks that are accurate to within one nanosecond that sync every 1 microsecond.
The possibility for error from timing is less than 6 nanoseconds. Which is accounted for in the margin of error at 10 nanoseconds.
To be fair the most they could possibly say for a margin of error was around 20 nanoseconds and they would be making some large assumptions as to the inaccuracy of some of their most expensive equipment to do so. The neutrinos got there 60 nanoseconds earlier than expected. Therefore the results are STILL significant.
The ATA drive had 3. It was just with a removable jumper. Its unlikely any mobo manufacturer would do anything other than on/off jumper switches nowadays.
Agreed. There was filler battles with no need for them at all. I probably could have enjoyed it more if it was just cut scene to cut scene instead of actually giving me corridors with random enemies to run into. Throw in the occasional boss fight. Hey, it worked for Xenosaga.
This isn't bias, and it is completely justified. This isn't just a "This was not expected" This is a "Well lets just go burn about 3 forests worth of verified, published theories that rely on GR being correct.".
If it was *just* a "This was not expected, we can't possibly be right here". That would be bias.
This is a: Well this invalidates another theory that has spawned hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of other theories that have been proven true as much as is humanly possible at the moment. If we throw this out we have to redo almost all of them.
Setting a field of science back almost a hundred years damn well deserves a shitload of scrutiny and some form of disbelief on the part of the discoverers.
If it didn't it would be concrete proof that we have in fact not evolved even slightly from dick-waving neanderthals.
Also this is just normal rigor. For any theory to be a theory one of the requirements is that it be reproducible. If this is NOT reproducible, it is of such magnitude that they will probably repeat the experiment at CERN, try swapping out every single piece of equipment, until they find what the hell was causing it. Then if they come up empty and the results are consistently repeatable from CERN then they have to come up with a new theory explaining why the fuck GR doesn't work at CERN.
See, this is where I've never understood relativity when it comes to C.
I don't know WHY it has to break causality. As light does have SOME mass, however infinitesimal, but it doesn't interact well with other things, it would just continue at its initial ejection speed until it interacts with something. As it doesn't interact well with well... anything, it would be very close to a constant speed.
Maybe the event energy required to produce these types of neutrinos is just enough higher than is required to produce light that it travels faster? Maybe the Neutrino is the universal constant and we've been looking at this all a little bit wrong.
All of this stuff is fairly interesting to me but I've never had time to investigate it fully and I want to get a course of some kind done in it so that its more to me than a bunch of scientists going "NO IT WILL FSCK WITH THE MATHS TOO MUCH!!!!".
The scientists at CERN asked for peer review and checking of their methodology. This announcement means that at least on paper the method was near-perfect for Fermilab to be committing resources in the near future to prove/disprove it.
"HARPER--government will do very, very little proactively to improve the internet situation. Unless votes are threatened--ziltch."
Meanwhile Harper is spending all his time clamming up any source of information that could say anything coming out of government and busily toiling away in the background AGAINST the public good for his corporate buddies.
If you think some previous governments have had some bad scandals revealed in recent years, they're nothing to what Harper is going to do/doing with this government. You'll never even know 90% of it and the 10% that ever gets found out will make all previous look like childs play.
The man is a fucking slimeball and I really wish the Canadian population would wake up to it.
I do the same thing... on CDMA. I have no idea what the fuck you guys are talking about for this "no voice and data at the same time" garbage.
Its a technical limitation, sort of. All it actually requires is that the phone be set up to be able to handle two connections. Not a big deal on an Android device, or any current-gen smartphone for that matter.
I left out an almost in there somewhere. There are exceptions to every rule. That one ^^ works out nutritionally but of course doesn't take into consideration those that would likely have just died as children a mere 200 years ago.
"That is absolutely not true. All of the nutrients humans need can be found it plants. You just need to eat the right plants. You are correct that you cannot just take meat out of your diet, you need to replace it with other plant-based foods. "
It absolutely is true. The plants that contain the necessary nutrients are almost unversally semi-toxic to humans. There are a LOT of people out there who can`t tolerate the toxins. Veggies + eggs, dairy, and fish is the closest to pacifist that anyone can universally safely go. You need to at least eat eggs, dairy, and some fish to safely avoid the toxic elements that are abundant in the plants you are talking about.
Massive amounts of Soy are in almost every single product that claims to be a meat replacement, and a quick google search will find you dozens of papers published from many seperate sources. In some cases even pro-vegetarian sources that are trying to find ways to avoid the stuff.
I understand that some asian peoples have been much closer to herbivores than anyone of european descent for a long time and as such can nearly live on a vegan diet safely. The truth of the matter is that if you`re not descended from one of those peoples then you most likely don`t have the genetic gumption to digest some of the things that they do and you shouldn`t try.
Anticipate your usage patterns. If you think you're going to need the power in short bursts of "I need it NOW" rather than "I can let this run while I'm working on something else" then Amazon AWS is your best bet.
Otherwise a Supermicro Opteron based system will win, hands down.
As an aside I have an old 2nd gen opteron system with two dual core opterons at 2.2 ghz in it that still outpeforms my friends brand new i5 that he bought as a dual purpose cpu so as others have mentioned I`d stick to opterons for raw science if I was you:)
The MS move to the Ribbon was what got my business to switch to OO.o 100% about 3 years ago.
Everyone was much happier with the OO.o interface. Everything is in logical menus and they don't have to go searching through 7 different tabs of buttons to try to find the one pictured, not described, button that MIGHT do what they want it to do, only to realize that the default ribbon doesn't have the button they're looking for shown and they have to add it in manually.
Honestly, there is no worse user experience than the new MSO Ribbon interface. It assumes the user is a 3 year old. Which is great if you're so stupid you shouldn't be touching a computer to begin with, but for the rest of the real working world is a pain in the ass
I keep seeing people post this, or something close to this. You're not even close to correct.
I'd like to know how you consider 12 billion to be 2 years profits for a company that posted 9.08 billion in net income last year, and 12.78 billion @ EBITDA. It is at absolute worst 18 months. Given that they have over 30 billion dollars in cash on hand that is just earning them 6, maybe 8% at most, and Motorola's worst profit margins are higher than that by the way, they don't even have to talk to a bank to make it happen.
They get patent portfolios that they can use defensively and aggressively if necessary, and they get to put their money to work for them in a sector that they're breaking into in a big way already.
Stop being a retard.
I'm beginning to smell Apple/MSFT shills galore in here.
I was using the common understanding of it, and have been for years. That argument works under the common definition of it but doesn't under the full one.
Also, you should read the wikipedia article I linked. Large delusional crowd movements are one of the few things that can cross cultural, economic, and age boundaries. Very similarly, so can religion.
Given that Apple products have been found to spark a religious response in those that trumpet their benefits, I believe that Occam's Razor says that they're buying them due to a large delusional crowd movement.
Lets not forget that even with much proof to the opposite of what they claimed, snake oil salesmen could generally find someone local in a town to help them hawk their wares. These people often weren't in on the take. There is a reason selling odd concoctions was profitable.

Yes, that's technically two jumpers however.
The ATA drive had 3. It was just with a removable jumper. Its unlikely any mobo manufacturer would do anything other than on/off jumper switches nowadays.
To be fair this would be two jumpers, since you don't seem to understand how jumpers work.
Thats like.... DOUBLE the work load. The motherboard would cost an extra $200 for that feature instead of $100.
Agreed. There was filler battles with no need for them at all. I probably could have enjoyed it more if it was just cut scene to cut scene instead of actually giving me corridors with random enemies to run into. Throw in the occasional boss fight. Hey, it worked for Xenosaga.
Agreed for 10 and 12, but 13?
I could have taped the controller down and beaten 13. In fact I did at one point - IT ADVANCED ME THROUGH OVER 2 HOURS OF THAT THING.
FF10 and 12 were great.
FF13 was a movie, and a shitty one at that, in which I had to press "continue" every now and then.
That actually is it.
Everything apple sells is due to a good marketing department, not due to the product itself.
My old Galaxy S blew the iPhone 4 out of the water. My Galaxy S2 crushes my Galaxy S. In both features and usability.

The process is working.
The scientists at CERN asked for peer review and checking of their methodology. This announcement means that at least on paper the method was near-perfect for Fermilab to be committing resources in the near future to prove/disprove it.
In fact there is an entire market based around doing with infrared as a replacement for microwaves because they do it better.

Correcting someone who IS wrong is not being a jackass.
The original poster technically was wrong. While it is accepted in some circles to be wrong, that doesn't make it right.
See Example: Most of common American English. This bleeds over into American Culture. Being wrong is acceptable.
I have no idea if this man is American or not, but if he is then kudos for trying to raise the bar.
