I wonder if he will take drastic measures to cut home and small box support like IBM did. Dell is going to a services only model and big enterprise stuff where the pretty margin lives. It's hard to cut half of your income and survive Wall Street but I'm guessing that's the idea.
I have a feeling there will be pretty huge internal changes.
I guess humans will be the voyeurs of the universe. Our telescopes will get better so we can watch those sexy aliens taking sonic showers or something.
No wonder everyone is avoiding our little space neighborhood.:)
I did as you instructed and felt pretty dumb because I realized the big ones were hard to figure out. Smaller ones were simple but I didn't even notice any movement on the first big one. Then I read the article and realized what it was testing. Those who read the study before taking it would definitely be biased I think.
haha it's all good. It's just fun talking with other language nerds. I speak a few of each type, latin/cyrillic/arabic, etc:P
I still don't have much confidence in AI getting the more subtle feelings of languages. Google translator is the best, granted. It fails horribly with german and swedish tho heh
with everyone else... Google isn't great at translating and sadly it's pretty much the best. I speak a myriad of languages and Google only does well with Latin based langs and only if they are grammatically perfect. You could always figure it out by context but when you get to German or Russian, then you're in trouble. Hell, imagine Mandarin/Cantonese? Pretty soon though, everyone will be able to understand everyone else and I won't be as cool anymore:)
Didn't they used to do this like 100 yrs ago? "See he looks like an animal, therefore he must be criminal" I vaguely remember seeing something along the lines of that being a prosecution's argument and it being accepted.
It's funny that they may have been onto something?:P
Right, I'm sure Mr Lawyer wouldn't mind being on retainer for free either. We'll call you when we need you and pay you on the go.
Firefighters get benefits though in that they are provided food and shelter at no cost and can practically live at the firehouse, albeit not something everyone would love to do:P
I think if you expect someone to be at your every beck-and-call, then you need to pay them. At least give them some reason to care.
Who needs a story? This is Sci-Fi, you can just make shit up as you please as long as it's cool. This does look very nice though, regardless of the plot.
Expect the cheesy videogame to release at the same time:P
Ultimately though, it's the one with the fatter wallet that wins.
I don't think anyone should be trying to sway the politicians in any direction. If they don't have all the facts, they shouldn't be making any decisions. THEY are hired to represent the people, when they fail to do their job, then it should be the end. The people shouldn't have to get all involved and become the right hand of the gov't.
I know public service pays horribly so when these folks start seeing some of that money, they fold to human nature.
What do I know, I'm just a Canadian living in Texas...I'm lost. haha
So is this proof that the Gov't is run by Corporations? Like we really didn't already know but come on...
If all lobbying was eliminated, we might have a semi-fair and equal system but that won't be happening while the politicos keep getting free vacations and money to line their bentleys.
Wow and I thought I was alone in my love of fruitcake. Christmas is a great time as it seems like people enjoy making it but not eating it. Strange, but who am I to argue with it:)
That's actually an interesting point. They need to look into the biological aspect of the issue. Guaranteed there is adrenaline pumping and various other primal things going on. Now if you're just sitting there, it's not being used as designed/adapted/evolved (whatever).
I've noticed the same thing in my daughter. She can be playing the most innocuous of games and still turn into a mean and evil child.
The answer is just parenting though and since no one wants to admit they're bad parents, they would just rather blame the world and infringe upon others.
I played violent games all my life, I haven't killed or hurt anyone. I will agree that sure if that's all kids see and they don't get any parental direction, then sure.
Kids do copy what they see, but a 6 year old kid shouldn't be playing GTA 3. Then again it depends on the kid.
It's just not something you can put to statistics.
I think "Common sense" is inherently wrong though. If it were so common, wouldn't we see it more? I think we need more "Uncommon sense", as the norm seems to be something I try to avoid.
I'm in Texas and apparently 23% of Texans believe Obama is a Muslim.
I still think it was a meteorite of some sort. The "trail" seems to get darker further towards the ground. The meteorite could have exploded before hitting the ground (which does happen). I think it's a mix of coincidence for sure. I don't see what else it can be, it's something fast, energetic, going up to down. Either a laser or a meteor... chance picture tho.
Slashdot Mirror
Let's just say I have a long personal history with said company. :P

Sounds, to me, like someone is looking for a promotion. :P
Probably why I don't go to church haha.
I prefer to be pedantic instead of condescending. hee hee :)
Doesn't Man = Nature? :P
Did they change the admin password on the NT boxes they use yet? Doesn't the gov't have an I/T czar or something now? Good job sir.

Check again mate, German is Germanic and not Romantic. Just like English :)

Wow I totally went Slashdot on that and didn't RTFA. -2 to INT.

Anyway, I thought your point was good.
I don't get why they keep beating this horse...

Common sense? Not likely...
I'm going to forward this article to my boss and go home early, awesome thanks!! Who says I can't be creative in the afternoon?
Sadly, that was my first thought as well. I could have done without Gau, but Cyan was essential!! ;)
I still think it was a meteorite of some sort. The "trail" seems to get darker further towards the ground. The meteorite could have exploded before hitting the ground (which does happen). I think it's a mix of coincidence for sure.
