Seems to me that if Goglia can do major commercial harm to Seagate by not working there anymore, Seagate should have ample motivation to match and exceed any offers he might get.
I say the employer can go screw. If the guy's irreplaceable, or has valuable information they can't afford to lose control of, pay the man.
Typos are unacceptable in wire journalism. If they can't get the fucking words spelled right, how can they be scrutinizing facts to an appropriate degree?
Poor spelling is a symptom of bad journalism, not a cause.
The problem is, the poster wanted to appear smart by talking about a "Carnot cycle engine", which is the theoretical maximum of a heat engine, and looked like an idiot because the Carnot cycle is a theoretical construct that has nothing to do with automobile engines.
Thereby looking like an imbecile to anybody who knows thermodynamics.
You design a solar powered car that provides room for four, crash worthiness, and the ability to carry groceries, and I'll buy one.
You can't, so I won't.
Hybrids are a step in the right direction, assuming you have a large budget for maintaining the system as it ages. Me? I think TDI engines are the best short- to medium-term solution, except for the problems with stupid American diesel formulation with too much sulfur for reasonably clean burning.
No, I'm saying that there are about four people to whom the success of the IPO matters. Everybody else is just trying to make a quick buck.
You may have confused me with somebody who thinks the stock market is a good idea. I don't. It is designed by the insiders to fleece the ignorant, and to make sure that everybody stays ignorant.
Sure is irrelevant to me, as I have no interest in the company whatsoever. Sure, I use their search engine...I like it a lot! But I don't care at all if they make money from this ridiculous shell game.
What do you think the stock market is? If it were'nt a "fantasy capitalist league", companies would simply capitalize by taking out loans or selling bonds.
Unless you can test a hypothesis and come up with verifiable, repeatable results, you're not doing science.
Economics and social "sciences" cannot come up with verifiable, repeatable results, because any model of sufficient complexity to mimic the thing being studied is just as complex as the thing being studied.
You can't do controls. You can't isolate influences. You can't do the same experiment twice and get the same results.
Economics and sociology are important fields of study, but they are not sciences.
I don't agree. I'm thinking "Hey Marine, find yourself some damn duct tape! Or go X-Files style with the pistol and the flashlight!"
It's the same way I feel when I'm playing a game where my character can't get himself up on a hip-high wall. I'm always thinking of "Oh yeah, some bad-ass special forces operative you are. you go on with your six-inch vertical, scary man. Too bad there's a FOUR FOOT WALL between you and your objective...otherwise, it'd be Miller Time!"
Yeah, because it's a great idea to have a big ass flywheel on an aircraft, because it's not like a slight change in attitude would cause the gyroscope to precess and crash the whole works into the ground or anything.
Oh, I'm glad you like it. It's just the iSheep part of your sig that made me want to fix you a nice cool glass of gofuckyourself.
The Neuros has some great features. If it wasn't the size of a 1986 cell phone, I might have bought one. Me, I think the shirt-pocket size of my 40 gig iPod has a) the best form factor and b) the best UI that money can buy.
Because it's Ford, where innovation is something that they let other people do.
Note that the same is true for pretty well all of the American car companies.
Now, each of them has a skunk works group that turns out some bad ass hardware, but the run of the mill vehicles are all (repeat ALL) 1970's vintage crap.

Uh huh. They can also demand I give them a pony.
I'll be glad to give them the finger, but they can't coerce me to do anything when I'm leaving the firm.
News that is not bug free is useless. I do not want my news fast, I want it right.
And, smart guy, wire services don't just go to web sites. They also get printed on, like, dead trees. So, my original point stands.

Dude, I was playing with you. Lighten up. Need a hug there, big fella?
OK, if fucking United Press International can't keep "loose" and "lose" straight, I'm switching to Esperanto.
Fuck English. Nobody seems to be smart enough to use it.
OK, four people used Gopher (give or take an order of magnitude or three). How many people use WWW?
Can you say inertia? I knew you could.

Re: your first paragraph: Yes, you're right. That means you're not doing science.
Re: your second paragraph: Since you can't use the scientific method in quantum mechanics, it's not a science.
It is, again, an important field of endeavor, but not the same as "science".
It doesn't matter to anybody who's not a Google employee.
It doesn't even directly matter to the shareholders.

I'm surprised by how well it works. Not.
Of the 6000+ tracks on my iPod, zero of them hae Apple's DRM wrapper.

Shooting one-handed is inherently less accurate. Soldiers and Marines use both hands on their weapons.
Yeah, because it's a great idea to have a big ass flywheel on an aircraft, because it's not like a slight change in attitude would cause the gyroscope to precess and crash the whole works into the ground or anything.
That's a really bad idea.
Explain to me how they get compensated when they sell a shitload of albums.
Hint: They don't.
Making your system a human powered generator and an electric powered helicopter.
Not nearly as technically interesting as a human powered helicopter.
Oh, I'm glad you like it. It's just the iSheep part of your sig that made me want to fix you a nice cool glass of gofuckyourself.

So I bought it.
Uh, maybe they were more worried about making their helicopter work. Assclown.
Losing, what? 40% of the energy in the process?
My bad. When I looked last week, they were vaporware.
Did it come with a lunchbox to carry it in?
