Actually he is a professor of electrical engineering systems. http://poisson.usc.edu/Breuer.html But I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here about what is trying to be done. And it doesn't have to do with killing your RAM and your Counterstrike game.
There is another article here with some extra details. http://www.isa.org/PrinterTemplate.cfm?Template=/C ontentManagement/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=42102&F useFlag=1 I supposed what he is doing is trying to devise NEW methods to allow chips to work properly if they have errors. That is why he is getting the big grant money. For example in data transmission if you miss a bit it can be filled in with parity checking. I am of course guessing that it could be done this way. But the point is that it is not some conspiracy to trick you into buying crappy videocards. Firms know very well that the market will prevent that or they don't get to produce.
I can vouch that this fixes the problem. If you click the error report it reports the offending module is version 1.0.0. It seems the update isn't great, because I had to uninstall, then manually delete the directory.
I am curious who are operating these companies. We need to hold these people accountable. Certainly they don't want there information made public about their product or themselves so it is up to us.
I'm sure with more work we can find the information necessary to expose these people on public forums, more than just exposing the company. We should have names to point fingers at otherwise these people will disappear to reappear under another name. If these people have to face having their actions made public perhaps the second batch will think twice before acting negligent.
This article must be great for/.ers! You can't even read the article! I know this is Forbes so it has to be similar to some horrible PowerPoint presentation but that is just sad. I think I can hit the "next page" button on my own. Then again, no one goes to Forbes for anything worthwhile, just knee-jerks.
You associate insurgents with "a minority of violent jerks who want to destroy any chance the country has of developing democracy". While it is true insurgents are composed of terrorists, fundamentalists, and Saddam loyalists, they also include Iraqis not too happy with US soldiers on their land. Probably not their robots either.
I believe you are correct, sir. Don't we really have a good general idea of how economic agents behave, for example Maslow's Pyramid of Needs? I am skeptical of how fruitful this research will be. This problem of hyperrational agents goes back to 1900s when it became mainstream. I think Veblen described the limitations of mainstream theory best:
"The hedonistic conception of man is that of a lightning calculator of pleasures and pains, who oscillates like a homogeneous globule of desire... under the impulse of stimuli that shift him about the area but leave him intact... He is an isolated, definitive human datum, in stable equilibrium except for the buffets of the impinging forces that displace him in one direction or another... When the force of the impact is spent, he comes to rest, a self-contained globule of desire as before."
No one knows even what Gartner REALLY said! Yes, RTFA and get more mislead. After scouring Gartner.com, even finding the cited paper is impossible. What was Gartner's methodology? Who is doing the research?
HOW DID THEY GET TO THEIR CONCLUSION? "45.3434% of all statistics are made up."
It really doesn't matter what Gartner said, its how they got there is important.
But then again, Econ 101 textbooks never get anything quite right. Of course, socialism means different things to different people, and can vary substantially in the literature. I would argue that socialism requires capital profits to be equally distributed, something that does not exactly happen in GPL software projects.
When the developer contributes to the project, the user can do with how he likes, perhaps even charge the developer use for his project's implementation. We are specifically talking about Open Source, not Free Software as you mentioned, as BSD would hold to this argument even closer.
However, you're right on about socialism attitudes. If people would read material like Clark or Mill, they would see a convincing argument against the typical indoctrination.
These are functional, not really for style. Lance Armstrong has been seen using them (may have helped design them), as they are designed for sports where wires can get in the way.

My vacuum has HEPA filtration, bagless storage, and can suck a tennis ball through a garden hose which gives it the ability to really get dirt out of my carpet. I can FEEL a difference from old vacuums because less dust equals less sneezing.
I doubt these manufacturers accounted for this type of quality when designing this gadget. Maybe scooting around the carpet pushes the dirt around a bit but I'll bet you if I bought this flimsy frisbee looking toy I would take it back the next day.

Integration with powerpoint? Is it good for differentiation?

Searching google lead me to the license http://toolbar.isearch.com/terms.html which has a real address in nevada. It seems like it is some type of holding company http://www.nvcorpserv.com/ because there are other legit looking business with different owners. Some are overseas owners ex. http://www.xericdesign.com/cv.php probably incorporating in Nevada for tax purposes.
