It's not quite as simple as requiring you to leave the tag in place. The way the tag is supposed to work is that it tells you a date on which they had not recieved such requests, and if the date gets stale then you can reasonably suppose that they have since that time. The secret court would thus have to not just compel you to leave it, but to also continue updating. This is why Apple's approach is so interesting: it's going to precipitate a court case to determine whether they can be coerced into providing materially false information to the SEC.
NASA's using DMLS for part of their J2X engine (for the SLS vehicle, funnily enough), and interestingly it's for a very simple part that's just too small to make conventionally. So they're only about three years ahead of you.
There are technology issues to overcome – notably current limitations on the size of the parts to be made – but this process is potentially an order of magnitude improvement in terms of the costs for building complex, severe environment components out of that ubiquitous substance that we’ve got all over in a rocket engine, i.e., “shiny metal.”
I don't think that most organizations are more or less likely to have a SAP implementation come in under budget and within spec than doing it themselves. But when the in-house project fails, the project manager loses their job and the whole thing gets started over. When SAP fails, well, "they're the best in the industry... if they can't do it no one could..." So management sucks it up and commits the needed resources to finish. Sure, the end result isn't as good as if they had commited properly to doing it in house, but at least it got done in the end, and no one lost their job.
In general I'd agree, but RSS readers essentially don't work without the cloud. The only thing that is "my" data in Reader is a list of URLs. Without pulling down content from elsewhere, that's essentially useless to me. That's also why it's so easy to migrate: I can import that list into a number of other services and applications that will do the same thing.
That's not really the best advice, what you don't want to do is talk to the police without your attorney present. If your attorney thinks it's a good idea to answer a particular question, then you may want to do it.
You seem to be conflating presumption of innocence with the standard of proof, when they're only tangentially related. "Preponderance of evidence" has nothing to do with your point.
Hence the GP said, "though obviously there are exceptions." He wasn't claiming that these chips would be perfect for everyone, just that there are *some* areas where they would be.
3) high frame rates on high end hardware (and the listed testbed is bleeding edge) imply that it is possible to get reasonable framerates on lesser equipment..
But by your own argument, their opponent is someone who desires to enforce bad laws, therefore you cannot vote for them either. Are you suggesting simply abstaining?
To me, the game isn't worth its list price *plus the price of Windows* in order to play it. I can't see why a developer wouldn't understand that, even if they choose not to market it to me.
It's one of the few Federal programs I would actually like to see expanded.
They would have more to work with if they could do away with the bloated govt contractor process.
They could do away with the bloated govt contractor process if they weren't bound by congressional authorization acts.
There's a reason we like to refer to SLS as the Senate Launch System, and it's not because that's what we'd like to use it for. Sadly, it doesn't look like our politicians are going to pull their heads out about matters of general interest, so I see no hope for them viewing an (unfortunately) niche interest organization like NASA as anything other than a jobs program any time soon.
Kind of sad that the best hopes that I see comes from eccentric billionaires inspired by Apollo on the one hand, and from China on the other, but there you have it.
When I get onto a ramp, I'm usually going very close to 0 since I've just stopped at the traffic signal and made a turn. I'm not disagreeing with you about whether it's necessary to have high acceleration, only whether it's desirable. 0-60 is a useful proxy for acceleration overall when comparing vehicles, and there are a large number of people who are in the demographic these cars are aimed at who will make a decision in part based on it.
I do actually accelerate hard on a regular basis - highway entrance ramps are very similar to drag strips, except that you stop accelerating once you get to the speed of traffic (70-80 mph). One of the things to remember is that the current market for these cars is not people in rural areas; they simply don't have the range and charging speed yet. In town I'll get on the highway for my 6 mile trip to work, or if I want to go to a specialty store. And since they're targetting people in places like California especially, quick acceleration is a nice feature (though not essential, past a certain point).
Sidenote: the other place acceleration is useful is when passing on 2-lane roads, but as roads have gotten wider that's hardly a consideration anymore.
You may consider that formal notification of my viewpoint. Your corporate legal team can explain to you why the fact you are now aware of my view is important to them.
Translation: Go see your corp lawyers. FYI, you're about to get spanked.
That may not work out for him as well as he hopes. Their lawyers are certainly aware of the verdict in Oracle v. Google, and may reply that since APIs aren't copyrightable, they don't need permission anyway.
Kickstarter is not buying a finished product, it is donating to get something hopefully created.
Except when it is. I'm a somewhat suspicious type, so the only projects I've funded are ones where the work has already been done, and they have a quote from a manufacturer in hand, but they don't have the funds to get it done. (In my case, it's been for print runs of books.) In those cases, which admittedly may be a minority, Kickstarter has just replaced the preorder mechanism they had in place prior. It's great for that, because you don't have to trust some random artist with your money and hope that if they don't raise enough for the print run they'll process refunds efficiently.
Kickstarter is not the job market. It's a way for creative types to avoid the job market. You want a resume full of creative projects? Create things, and show them off. If they're good enough, people might just pay you for copies.

How, exactly, could one falsify the assertion that the only assertions which are valid are those which are falsifiable?

So you're saying the worst case scenario is... having to make a new vaccine every year?

And you think that the Linux Kernel people, standing up for their Legal RIGHTS ...
Except I'm not sure they have those rights. Copyright on the code, of course, but here we're talking about copyrighting the API. We've just seen a major case on the subject, and the preliminary results are that "This command structure is a system or method of operation under Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act and, therefore, cannot be copyrighted." Of course, that still needs to go through appeals, but it's about as solid a judgement as I've seen. It also matches the current state of the law in Europe.

It's admittedly unintuitive, but if you run chrome with the --incognito flag it does what you're looking for.
Here's an interesting fact related to that: the first person killed in an automobile accident in the United States, was struck by an electric car.
Imagine a beowolf cluster of us! Oh, wait, this is the internet, it's probably been done, with video.
