CEO's gather around and laugh at the ones that have the most employees left. I think this is different. There is a specific drive aimed at reducing employees. That won't be done by spinning up jobs for new employees. Some work will be created for buffer companies that drive down the wages for the big guys but not to the extent that jobs are lost. Even burger flippers are targets now.
Try mid 60's like me. I've been offered indefinite contract jobs, but full time employment? I'm not working for less than people that know less than me. A security 'forensic specialist' that didn't have a clue as to what email headers were? REALLY?
There is a reason the original jet pack was on the back. He's put a lot of effort and probably money into a design that is questionable at best. The thrusters on the legs present a problem if they start to push him heels over head. Having human joints absorbing the brunt of the forces and relying on them to provide stability in flight is just plain stupid. If there is a problem, using your hands is out. Just so many things wrong.
My brother-in-law's brother was with the FBI and retired recently. There was a dragon fly surveillance bot on display. It was on display because it was declassified since it was already over 20 years old. The guy leading them into the building quipped, "If we had that 20 years ago can you imagine what we have today?" I actually thought of a rail gun. Some of the weapons they want us to believe are in development could already be deployed. Point I was really making, is how do we know that the failed launch wasn't brought down?
Really, three strikes and you are out is straight from a game someone sat down and created out of thin air one day. Now people are basing laws on the concept? WTF?
I would think a court would find this to be a deceptive practice at best. Charging for someone elses FREE software and not requiring payment up front so that it was clear, not just hiding the charge somewhere it may not be seen.
Or, just say you will look into it, but you have other customers as well and there are always 'unknown' security holes. You simply must do what is best for ALL of your customers. Now, if you want to pay for your own server.......... And stall, stall, stall....
It doesn't sound like they have any VALID reason given what you have stated above.
'"The congressional policy and agency practice of relying on the marketplace instead of regulation to maximize consumer welfare has been proven by experience (including the Comcast customer experience) to be enormously successful," concludes Comcast VP David L. Cohen's thinly-veiled warning to the FCC, filed on March 11.
I must be reading this wrong.;) Disrupting consumer's internet usage is the customer's welfare?
You get way more scope for the buck. Many commercial scopes aren't that high in quality. Even poorly made first mirrors can out perform commercial mirrors. Sad, but I can tell you that from personal experience.;)
And I'll say it again. But no one listens. The fact that there are so many incomplete projects says alot. With Sourceforge, it should be easy for people who want the same software to collaborate on a SINGLE project. Does every one want the privilege of being the head honcho like Linus? The main problem with this kind of software is the drudge work of keeping up the library of devices,not doing the interface. That is why there are lots of started projects and not to many that really get finished. Let's face it. It isn't just this project. Check out Sourceforge and see how many similar projects you can find. Diversity is good, but if it means nothing gets finished, then maybe not so much?
Also, don't question what the material is as long as he will read it. This one sank in as I stood aruguing with my three year old over wanting to buy a comic book. Has to have been on of the dumbest fights I ever picked. The point was, he was reading and I should be encouraging that. Yes. He was 3 and reading. Point is, censoring what he reads, with obvious exceptions, could be a mistake and an unnessecary road block to your over all goal.
I am an amature astronomer and attend lectures given by people involved in the space program. Machines are no where near being as capable as humans in many areas. This comes up in many of the lectures and discussions. Also remember, we are not privy to ALL of the research that is going on. NASA is under the same budget constraints as every one else. If they could save money and do the same job without humans, they would.
I am probably a little late on this thread. I build my own telescopes because good ones cost alot more than I can pay. The quality of most commerically produced telecopes is quite low. I know. I have looked through them. Their owners don't want to hear it.:) But this IS science. These things can be tested. There is an ATM list of over 1800 folks from around the world. I host the http://atmsite.org page. Take a look. The "quasi professional" does apply to many of us though. But that is what happens when hobby becomes passion.
Probably too late in the day to get an answer to this one, but, "The color images is a true color X-ray image"? The "" is a cut and paste from the refernce.

I was reading that a look at his history shows no belief in a flat earth until he found out he could get some funding out of it.
So his wife gets nothing because he was suicidal? I'm moving to Australia. My wife will have to treat me better.

If you are talking flight and rockets you need to think functional or die.

What I worked for at my last position has no bearing on what I'm willing to take this position for.
Color me skeptical.

Seriously, I wondered as soon as it was listed as failed if it had been taken down to test the US of A's latest technology.
I've read the same.

Seems like this would be a good community project? Have a GPL'd proposal set up for others to use and customize as needed?

Just return it. Let them cancel her license. They did NOTHING for the money.

OK. The interface isn't slick.
