I was in a hail storm/tornado a few years back the tornado was an f4 and passed a little over a mile from my work. The baseball sized hail hit us though we had an open parking lot full of cars and I had to tackle a co-worker and hold her on the ground because she was determined to run outside and move her brand new mustang. Every car in the parking lot was totaled mine actually had upper parts of the frame that were bent and the roof was bent so far down that the metal split at the top where the front windshield had been. It looked more like the car had been hit with a sledge hammer than hail. Solar panels didn't survive that storm.
We have a storms like that probably once every ten years it's why I have a garage and don't have solar panels.
Most of the 100k+ employees where I work are able to use a thin client with a 1GHz AMD SOC 2GB RAM 8GB Flash these really don't sound like a pc but everything is a hosted web app now and the processing happens on the server. As for our small graphics design department you'll pry their overly expensive macbook pros w/retina displays from their cold dead hands before they will use a PC.
Sorry, the most successful is a contractor but doesn't own a PC except for what the business owns and he has secretary to use it for him. Good try, making it sound like everyone has to own a PC to have a real job. In my family it's only those over 35 that own PCs even if they use one at work.
Now you could say the gaming console and cell phone have replaced the PC but I have nieces that don't game and do everything they would normally do on a PC on their cellphone alone.
You will have to face it other than business, hardcore gamers, and a few other small niches the PC is dieing off.
I have 5 sons only one of them owns a PC and he is a software developer the other 4 don't work in any tech field and have game consoles xbox1, PS4, and android phones and aside from gaming their cell phones do everything they would do on a PC.
Replacing the PC for regular users is already happening.
On i70 it's really flat from Hayes all the way past the Colorado boarder and then you find yourself asking where are the mountains... That stretch always makes me extra sleepy and if I don't have the cruise control set I'll be doing 90-100mph with out realizing it.
After 40 splits off from i70 it's only about 70-80 miles to the border but yeah there are more things than the flint hills and rolling hills that people don't expect like a 33,000 acres of lake and damn on the republican river.
I am absolutely certain that if it happened to a guy that there would still be teasing. I just thought it was funny and so did she although she was probably teased more than any other woman in the program because of it and was still the only one to graduate.
My sister is a mechanical engineer... she works with a lot of H1Bs who are very respectful although they probably refer to her as the Mistress of Darkness behind her back.
There were other women in her class but she was the only women to graduate that year... while taking a welding class a piece of molten metal somehow manged to make it past her apron, her shirt, an under shirt, and into her bra... one of the guys pulled out his pocket knife and cut her shirt and bra off in front of a dozen guys she was both grateful and completely embarrassed. Afterwards I was out at one of the local bars with her and some guys from that class where offering to cut her bra off...
greater numbers of women entering computer science could boost women's cumulative earnings by $299 billion and help the U.S. fill the growing demand for computing talent
Wasn't there a recent article on these jobs going away along with a list of down sizing already this year? That doesn't sound like a growing demand.
I always find the Hollywood portrayal of Kansas funny because I live in the flint hills on the east side of the state which are not flat and also where the majority of the states population lives. It's only the western two thirds of the state that is actually flat with fields as far as you can see and no people or towns.
You must not have been on the internet lately... think about an AI learning from facebook, twitter, snapchat, etc... It'll end being an immature idiot and a stupid slut.
Not really... there are plenty of people that might know your unpublished cell number like ex wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend co-worker employee any of which might hold a large enough grudge to take the time to do something crazy.
We had disgruntled ex-employee call and make appointments for breast enlargement consultations at every place in the area for one of our managers. They also had a bunch of free brochures and news letters sent to her home address and email.
If exclusive rights went away and any streaming service could get the content then there would be competition and you wouldn't need hundreds of accounts. The funny thing is I think they could make more money if they licensed it to multiple services instead of just one but they don't want to do that.
How about no commercials on the channels that I pay for. I haven't had cable TV for a long time and you would think that I don't see commercials anymore but cbs, cw, nbc, etc... have a lot of their prime time shows available to stream for free with commercials... but if upgrade to something like cbs on demand and start paying I expect it to be commercial free.
The problem isn't that the media wants to report the out of the ordinary, the problem is that they are conveniently leaving out facts to make it appear worse than it really is.
It reminds me of the anti-cigarette commercials there are plenty of good reasons to not smoke but they are running commercials that say there is methane in cigarettes just like poop when in actuality you would have to smoke for multiple lifetimes just to get enough methane out of a cigarette to equal the amount of methane an average person pays to have pumped into their house each month to their furnace, water heater, and stove cook with.
I watch the free cbs stream it looks like when it finally airs it'll be available on the channel and the stream but not netflix at least until the second season starts and then if it is, it will only be the first season. I have no idea what is available on the paid cbs service but the free version has commercials and the current season of most of their prime time shows.
I've noticed that not all but some of the shows I like will have the previous season added on netflix just before the new season starts and I can watch the entire previous season and catch up on anything I missed.
I was about to say the same thing it appear that technical fields are more common... I've been solicited multiple times as well, I think they like that my work history is a short list of long term employment.
I have no problem multi-tasking so long as they are simple tasks and not problem solving... Some times I need to distract myself from a difficult problem making coffee, a snack, or whatever thoughtless diversion... email though is too much of a diversion since at least some of it actually important.
The makers of the camera also provide an Android/iOS app which can allow a remote viewer to connect to an officer's camera, effectively turning police operatives into walking CCTVs
is it just me or does this sound like a hack waiting to happen... if they take the time to change the default password and actually secure them.
A big war is most likely inevitable but with who knows and not for the reasons publicized in media... sure there will be some issues moral or otherwise, disagreements exaggerated and blown out of proportion and used as an excuse but in the end it will be entirely an economic motivation that really turns the screws.

Those thin clients aren't really a pc with out a hard drive they are closer to a beefed up TV streaming device with a couple extra ports.

Don't get me started on xna... they canceled it just when it was finally maturing.

That plus a constant wind chill in the plains... I live in Kansas.
I had to look them up to figure out what they are... nope never had an account for either of those.

I've never been there but I hear it's less than half the size of Texas and more than twice the number of people... it must be fairly crowded.
Which service DNS?
