As the AC pointed out, a gram never weighs a gram, because a gram is not a unit of weight, it's a unit of mass. A gram will weigh about 0.0098 Newtons on earth, though it will vary slightly from place to place.
I like to point this out to illustrate that humans have fucked up the SI as well, and the it's hardly an advantage over the US Customary system when your answer is off by a factor of ten, you are less likely to know where you screwed up your units in the calculations.:-)
My problem is that I'll forget what the association was by the time I need that persons name again. Maybe I should associate the association with something?
I didn't know he created the deregulation of the derivatives market for mortgage securities (which is what cause the collapse - otherwise it was just an annoying bubble). Or are you simply trolling that he supported the gov't sponsorship of mortgages?
Unless it's your primary computer and you do your number crunching on it on a day to day basis. Why buy two computers when you can have one that can do both jobs? Most good chipsets throttle back power extremely well nowadays, so carrying the extra cores has a lower power penalty.
No, no, no. You connect your lightPeak to a hub, or to your monitor, and then run your USB/FW/DP cables from that hub to everything else. For a desktop, it's almost useless, as the octopus now originates from your monitor, or perhaps a hub near your monitor. You still need the regular ports on your PC so that you can have a small octopus from your external HD, camera, network, etc coming from the computer for things that run right off the main box.
The real (only?) advantage I see is that this could become a docking port connector to replace the (limited) port replicators and unique-by-laptop-series docking station connections.
I wish I had mod points. This is the kind of thing that gives engineers a bad name. Fix the damned thing and do your post mortem after the system is back up. It sounds like you all got shit done for two weeks because you had to be "right."
I nominate this AC for a position in Government, based on his keen grasp of the benefits of additional DST. Or, at the least, a position in a lobbying firm.
That's actually a good idea. They already have that "forgot the attachment" falcepalm popup. No reason not to make one for any email on which you'r bcc'd but you hit replay all.
I haven't looked, but it would be nice if Google incorporated this into their mail system as well.
Bcc: is usually used for juicy emails. It's used a lot for CYA, and to keep certain people in the loop on touchy subjects. Whenever I get interesting emails I always check the to/cc fields to see who the players are, and who is involved. And if I'm not on there, you can bet I'm going to keep my trap shut until I need to say something.
Bcc: is alive and well; it appears that the author of TFA got burned by bcc'ing a clueless sot. You've got be careful on both ends...
Just because you make a law does not make it right or in line with the rights in the constitution. Fair dealing, in my personal opinion, sides with geohot. And he's got another $50, from me, to help make his case. You have to be careful not to be blinded by the maze your lawyers and their corporate friends have set up to separate common decency and fairness from the world of big business.
I can see a tablet being a perfectly suitable work machine for a manager whose job consists of going to meetings, reading documents, making decisions, and sending and receiving emails.
I presume, as a manager, your emails consist of very short answers, as typing any significant amount is a PITA on a touch screen.
The GP point still stands. If you're doing real work, you need a computer. If you're just shuffling papers and making decisions (aka Managing, aka not producing anything), then you certainly can have just a tablet. Really, there's no reason for managers to have computers - they don't produce anything, so they don't need the tools to produce things. They only have computers because tablets didn't exist until now.
You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.
Wait. You can't change all of the gates to a random state (1 or 0) at one time, but you CAN change them all to a 0 simultaneously? That seems impossible without an alternate "self-destruct" write path to every cell.
If your phone can connect to your monitors, then your monitors aren't big enough (I'm on a three panel, 1600x4960 desktop as I type). It may happen someday, but computing is going to have to advance a couple of orders of magnitude and programmers are going to have to get more efficient so as not to take up all those new cycles with waste. The former I expect to occur, the latter I do not.
The internet must be open and fair to all American companies which have the money to fund our election campaigns, to spread the word of those companies wonderful products and good deeds, to keep the world safe from people we don't like, and to prevent all of those with ideas that differ from ours from speaking out. Can't we all just get behind my version of freedom?
That's not what he said. He didn't say that she should be signed, nor that she was good, or talented, or merketable. Merely that if you exclude the tens of thousands of artists that are signed to (presumably) record label contracts, mong the cruft that's left, she it the best.
If she's really good, and has really good songs, she hire a promoter and book venues, or find a studio gig for advertising. Just being talented - in the arts or anywhere else - doesn't mean shit if you're not willing to work your ass off to become successful. It doesn't come served up at your whim or request. If you think someone is going to "discover" your talent, you may as well go buy a lottery ticket. It's cheaper and your chances are better.
If I was a music producer, I would happily give baskets of cash to Pandora, out of sheer self interest.
That would make them just like all the radio stations. It's probably inevitable, but I like to think it might not happen. Then again, it'd be nice if their catalog was a bit larger.
Not likely. No usb, bleeding edge connector (=not universal), no GPS, no removable storage at all. This is a color Kindle with lousy battery life that can play video. This model isn't equipped for CDMA/LTE networks, but even if it was, Verizon would still rape you with monthly fees.

And, usually, the course tells you how to market and sell get-rich courses to people.

Thank you for bringing a smile to my morning.
An now you know how they can make the 3G whispernet free. They get somebody else to pay for the connection.

Did you go to sleep in 1996 and just wake up?

That's not a fair comparison. The 9 series won't be aout for another month or two.
When it is, it still won't be fair. It's lighter, thinner, faster, has a lighted keyboard, more memory, and a larger SSD drive.
