And so much slower / more unstable than a physical connection.
And who thinks it's hard to find an Ethernet cable? You buy a box off them (20-25 ft.) off of NewEgg for $100, and grab one whenever you need one. It's like complaining that you have to open a refrigerator door to get at some food.
If he's somewhat intelligent, perhaps he will ask Gates to fix his advisory board for him. The man has surrounded himself with the wrong people -> they're using him like a puppet, and he can't see that, and probably won't see it until the company is being sized for a coffin. They aren't his friends, they don't really think he's a business genius or whatever smoke they're blowing up his ass, and he needs to ditch them NOW. While he's at it, promote some of the IT and some of the CS / SE people to fill their spots. Find the people that others hate, not because they're annoying, but because they will tell anyone when they're making a grave mistake, regardless of rank. The IT guys will tell him what works (from a corporate standpoint), and the CS / SE guys will tell him what can be done (programmatically speaking).
Frankly, it's surprising he didn't do this already. The original trio of Gates (half-lawyer, half-businessman, half-programmer), Paul Allen (all programmer), and Ballmer (all business) worked; things held one without Paul, but without Gates it has gone downhill. Make a new trio, and try for the same attributes. If that means offering them some stock, do it.
That's because mathematics education has improved. Cost of oil > cost of other energy sources, the market shifts to other energy sources; cost of oil cost of other energy sources, the market shifts back to oil. The fight for the status quo only maintains itself if you attempt to shift the market by other means; hence the inherent danger in attempting to use such methods, as they inevitably fail when the subsidies run out.
It's an election year, and everyone of any intelligence treats the "I was a libertarian, then I saw the light..." the same way they treat the "I was gay, but then I saw the light..."-style posts; as in, it's probably made up.
Why are libertarians being attacked? Same reason the greens got nuked. Most people can't see outside the one-dimensional axis that their political views occur on; trying to explain to them that there's a whole lot of other viewpoints out there is like telling them there's a gateway to Narnia in their armoire. And of those who can, a small number are active in one of the two major parties; they fill their friends with all sorts of "facts," such that they never get around to verifying many of them.
'Tis quite alright. I got the gospel of Romney talk last night, along with the 10 minutes of hate for Obama. I calmly explained that having reviewed both of their post-election economic plans, neither instills confidence in me; as such, I will abstain from voting for either, unless something unforeseen requires me to rethink my position. I see more government spending with corporate largess in the future, with defense / tax cuts on one hand, and welfare / insurance on the other. No matter which one is elected, I lose. I despise that; I hate slanted scales and mandatory non-choices. Call me after they begin selling people in the marketplace, as that's where we are headed.
Don't think anyone is really going Metro. Most of the people giving it a thumbs down are planning on sticking with 7 until MS realizes what a cluster-fuck 8 is, and decides to go back to the WIMP paradigm in 9.
Of course, if 8 somehow obtains a magical killer-app that the rest of the tech world can't live without, then they will switch to 8. Or they could pull a Wesley, and make 9 even more tablety to try and convince everyone that 8 was really the way to go, but who knows?
It's a large battery for unstable renewable energy sources. Got it.
Well, that solves the energy storage problem for renewables, at least for localities that have suitable geological structures. I'm also going to assume that the efficiency for these wind turbines is top notch, and losses due to transmission are minimal.
When I first read the article & summary, I thought I was going to have a stroke. For a brief moment, I pictured them burning natural gas to store compressed air in the cavern. I wondered how bad the efficiency of their gas turbines would have to be, at less than full tilt, for them to consider this a good idea.
To have the Defense industry bankroll a witch-hunt to find these individuals, so they can be forced to sign up for a cyber-tour of duty and bureaucratic nonsense which burns their skins, so various corporations / interested parties can hire them away with better offers to engage in industrial espionage? In the name of patriotism and the American way, I'm sure GM / GE is willing to crack into foreign firms and lift their intellectual property.
The bigger problem here, of course, is that these people are not going to be paid well at all, and the people who want to hire them are exactly the opposite whom they'd work for. Hence the "at gun point" conscription that is likely to occur.
Indeed. Any "hacker" worth his / her salt is already being actively scouted by various interested parties offering may more money and morally-casual environments than the Defense industry.
And so far as we are concerned, that is all a part of a group of "No-no's." As an investment bank, you're given access to privileged information, with the intent of not screwing your client.
I light a candle for them, that they might suddenly come to their senses and say "Look, we've all been accepting bribes for years, and at first, we didn't think it was hurting anyone; but now, now we can hear our friends screaming out in the streets, and while we cannot go back in time and undo our apathy, we can prevent things from getting worse."
Because it's extra creepy. If you found law enforcement looking through your trash cans, for possible crimes, just because they're trawling for something to do / justify their jobs, wouldn't you find it creepy? "Hello Officer Bob, just taking out the kitchen trash; we had lasagna tonight, so good luck with that."
Is this not a sign that we're employing way, way, way too many law enforcement officers?
Slashdot Mirror
Shhhhhhh! He doesn't know that. It's funny when they're bred to attack the very thing that might help them.
Probably thinks that NAFTA is about free trade too.
It does.
Precisely my point. A 1000 Mbps switched connection versus a 54 Mbps sometimes connection.
And yet I've been modded troll. So happy the /. mods know their technology.
And so much slower / more unstable than a physical connection.

Seconded.
See, there's your problem right there. That's two men holding each other's penises, not the developer version of Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
(If it were Mountain Lion, there would be an Apple logo in there somewhere.)

Give up while you're ahead. The Democrat's own this one.
Killing their dreams softly...
So the only way to change the world is to create someone who is unpredictable.
God, they're so creepy.
And C-SPAN, for those of us who like to watch the congress critters work.

I'm more interested at what efficiency the compressed air turbines will operate at.

It's power-grabbin' time!

Which, if true, makes his death a crime against humanity. A source of wine cheaper than water...;-)
