That press release doesn't say anything except what is necessary to scare people. How does it kill Californian jobs? What TVs or TV components are still being made in California? I don't know if TVs can be made in the US anymore. They're being made in China, Taiwan and Mexico because US labor is just too expensive.
Two years is a very short period of time, and do they have any orbital launches to their credit yet at all? I see sounding rockets, that's a far cry from being able to achieve orbit. What is the timeline of an unmanned orbital test?
Is it in wide use already? Is it holding up? How does its infrastructure and maintenance cost compare to a wider range wireless? To me, it seemed that the biggest drawback to wide area WiFi is that each base station has a very limited range, cellular and WiMax has a range of miles between towers, for WiFi, you might be lucky to cover several houses with one base station. I tried working though all of what it takes, and it just seemed like too much work and too much money spent for too little in return.
I really wouldn't switch to IE 8 for this, or many other reasons that it might supposedly be better. It's 7 minutes longer than FF with adblock, or 4% longer. Not nearly enough difference to justify using a program that doesn't work the way that I like, not to mention one that presents such a major target for malware.
Something a scientist writes might also be so steeped in jargon that it's less intelligible to anyone not familiar with that particular research field. That's why we need more people like Niel deGrasse Tyson, who can live in the academic world but also communicate very well with non-academics.
I didn't do six displays, but the Matrox Millennium driver for Windows NT 4 had an option to set up all multiple monitors into one large virtual display. These were three separate cards, made before multiple outputs were put on a single card. It may not seem like much now, but a decade ago, it sure was something to see Windows report the screen resolution as 3840x960.
That's a problem with retail, US retailers don't seem to try to get many of them. They only get so many kits, and Lego offers a lot more than what any retailer tries to offer.
But they are available, I counted something like 24 kits currently available:
And I'm not even considering the marketing loss associated with filling an apple store with a bunch of ugly-ass Kensington locks.
With as many of them as Apple would need to lock a couple dozen computers for each of a few hundred stores, I'm sure they can commission a nice looking lock from someone. Their iPod nano displays look like custom pieces, and they usually have more notebooks than nanos on display. I recall they have nice looking locks for their iDevices, I see no reason why they don't have something like that for the notebooks.
That said, as you say, given the relative cost with outfitting all stores with this, and only a few of them get robbed in a year, maybe it's not worth it. This is the first large heist of an Apple Store I recall reading about. Until they happen more often, maybe things are fine the way they are.
I think the reason texting got popular was because you can do it silently in class.
I don't know about homework, it seems homework can be done while talking, texting would completely divert attention between two different things rather than doing both at the same time, people can talk and read/write at the same time, but I doubt people can read and write two totally different things in the same instant.
It's easier for the console manufacturers to eat a $100 price drop when they can force a large percentage of consumers to shell out another $50+ for a set of cables.
But Sony and Microsoft aren't the only ones that make HDMI cables. Companies like Best Buy are probably going to try pushing the Monster or their house brand cables instead of first party cables if the first party cables have a marked up wholesale price to cover some of the price drop.
I've wondered about this kind of an issue, it seems to be some kind of dilemma because the people funding it to save the earth would even helping those that aren't willing to help pay for it because those people assume that someone else will pay for it. If everyone assumes someone else will pay for it and as such, don't bother to pitch in, will the problem actually be solved? Assuming this is a problem that human civilization has to solve, this could be one of the biggest, most convoluted games of chicken one can conceive of.
Pretty interesting that they would try to push the longer, clumsier name, and also contradicts the naming of the system file that controls that very feature. I get the impression that they really don't think things through.
They probably meant uncontrolled flat spin being a bad thing. For some time, there usually wasn't much, if anything, that can be done. Sounds like some of the most recently developed fighters can get out of it. Whether controlled flat spin is of any value is a different question.
It is a tricky linguistic problem. This probably doesn't happen often, where the designer never gets to make one but someone makes long afterwards. It's not a replica in the conventional sense, but I don't know what other word would describe it better than that.
Is there any information on what this thing cost to make? Was it in the millions? several tens or hundreds of thousands?
I really don't know, but there are several monitors that can pivot. If you have a VESA monitor, you can remove the stand and put it on a VESA arm in a portrait manner.
I think I'd rather have more than one program side by side, monitors in portrait mode are a bit too narrow. I would like taller monitors though, 1.6:1 screens are a little too short for me in landscape. I dunno. Maybe some day I'll try two 24" screens in portrait mode, the screens are pretty cheap these days. That would be helpful since most web pages seem to require a lot of vertical scrolling, a taller screen should mean less scrolling.
You are right. As it is, not many shows earn much money back without some form of distribution and marketing. YouTube can be considered both, but even people that get millions of views on their videos don't make an independent living, even the million+ view videos only make tens of thousands of dollars if they are lucky. I don't think YouTube pays anyone outside of some specially arranged deals. Making money through these free distribution services rely on people buying products as a result, and it doesn't look like there is enough money in that.
I think the way to approach it is just to do it for fun, not expect any payback, and as a result, be very smart about your expenses and investments. If you do get some money out of it, good, if you don't, at least you had your fun.
If your objective is to get hired in other shows, then I'd say you have to be hired for other shows as a result of that work. I don't think Felicia Day was obscure before The Guild, maybe it helped some, but it doesn't seem like it helped a lot. Now if the other actors in the show get hired as a result of the show, then you might have something to call a success, but that depends on how far the career goes. Most actors are unemployed, even the successful actors seem to realize that, they probably had been unemployed more than they like to think about.

In all fairness, I think a single payer system will also have bad incentives in place.

I wonder if it meets the requirement for patents, it needs to be understandable by those in the fields that the patents impacts.
Lots of hard drives from the major brands seem to be made in China already.

I don't like HDMI.
Any particular reason? I haven't had any problems with it, and I'm pushing the limits on it too.

You don't have to make your whole post italicized. Really, you don't. There are good rules on when to use italics, this isn't it. It's slower reading.

This supposedly explains several "hot Jupiters" already, so it sounds like more contributing evidence for that idea.
It's not so simple. The negative views could be given by people trolling for competitors.
