Isn't this what Google wanted? I've always been under the impression that Google didn't necessarily want to become a large ISP, but instead wanted to spark competition.
I wonder how the Grizzly would work if the barrel had vacuum formed kevlar composite added to it. I would imagine that it would definitely help hold it together from cracking in the first place along with protecting the person holding the thing if it were to break.
I think the keyword you missed was "enterprise class", implying that its prints will be of higher quality. Or that it has a voice module and regular printer attached to spew our corporate bullshit and white papers.
Exactly. Maybe I'm just old, but to me electronics is closer to physics and hardware than what the poster listed. Microcontrollers and software are great fun and are electronic, but are not *electronics*. Building a machined brass test fixture to study the high speed switching of 20GHz-rated tunnel diodes and the hardline SMA fixtures to get that signal into a sampler is electronics. Downloading a library you didn't write and typing INCLUDE LIBRARY isn't electronics.
If he got an FPGA development board, he would be designing hardware then (assuming he doesn't just throw a softcore on it...). Definitely a large step closer to dealing with "electronics".
3k for a couple weeks of work? That sounds pretty fucking *horrible* to me, especially when you factor in the cost of development and test hardware, and ongoing support costs.
Assume it only took 2 weeks (it probably took much longer than this, as anybody who's ever done any significant commercial development is well aware) - that's $78,000 gross revenues for your *business* over the course of a year. Factor in dev/test hardware, dev time, ancillary operating costs (office, lights, electricity, business insurance, etc. etc.), and you're looking at significantly less than $78k per year as "actual" income. Then, whack off another 25-30% for taxes (remember, you'll owe SS, Medicare, and Federal/State Income Tax when DBA "you, inc." - not just your marginal rate you pay as a W2 employee of some other company.)
No, 3000 for "a couple weeks of work" sounds pretty much like a recipe for being (and staying) poor. It's a hobby, not a business.
Lots of people enjoy programming in their free time. Getting paid $3,000 for doing something I love doing sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
They have great battery life, are very hacker-friendly, and great audio.
Or he could even go with any Android tablet he wants. Don't like the music app available? Write your own. You could even get a Bluetooth remote for it.
A simpler solution is to verify if the image has slightly alterations over time, or to require that the person to blink or do any other thing.
If it is just looking for random variances in the face all you need to do now is video tape the person and play it back on your laptop or iPad in front of the camera.
I work at a college and we do no filtering of any kind due to academic freedom.
High school is not college. College students are adults fully responsible for their own behavior. High school students are legally children, and giving them access to things their parents don't approve of is not only going to cause administrative problems, but may even be illegal in some cases.
What if their parents don't approve of their child having access to a filtered internet?
Slashdot Mirror
Why not make the connector circular similar to a headphone jack? Then you won't be able to mess up insertion.

to be fair you're not running VMs on a phone/mobile unit.
Are you sure? Android phones will most likely be running a Dalvik Virtual Machine.

slashdot decided it would be really droll... err... funny, to ROT13 the articles, so users are ROT13'ing their posts.
Personally, I don't find ROT13 to be very secure. As a result, I *always* double ROT13 my posts, for maximum security.

Probably the five finger discount.
It seems to work pretty well for other companies.

Hey, 70TB write endurance ought to be enough for anyone!
Well, if it isn't then a TLC SSD isn't for you today. Fortunately for you, there are other involving HDDs and RAID setups.
Killing is a part of nature. Without it, animals would starve. Therefore, when people have a problem with murder, something is very wrong...
Worst. Argument. Ever.
While your argument there is bad, I'm not sure I would call it the worst one ever.
in the typing world, five characters defines a word in the typing world, in case you were wondering
Redundant much?
Why do you think he needs to type so fast?
The movie has hairy, disgusting trolls.
I think it's clear you went to the midnight showing...
Maybe they're measuring the acceleration of it's floating point operations!
Bro, do you even code.
The only thing you need is a butterfly, man.
You never know what you'll need. It pays to be prepared for all possible emergencies.
640cm is enough for anyone!
said perl, that's why I brainfuck around.
I C what you did there.
But there are still plenty of common applications that would be better of using 65w of electricity...
Such as heating water for coffee or cooking breakfast?

Why don't you use Pandoras?

Alright, you've got me. What's your site?

Really, and you seem to think privacy is not associated with life, liberty, happiness?
How about I release your credit card numbers? your SSN?
Make public personal information?
You think that does not affect your life, your freedom, nor your happiness?
I think your crazy if you think not.
to be fair your SSN is only 9 digits long, and only contains only numbers. overall, it's not very secure.
It's a linear scale, buddy. For that order of magnitude, the 273 degree offset is completely irrelephant.
To be fair, it is 273.15 degrees off.
