Excel has support for some ridiculous functions including pulling data from lots of database servers and doing BI transformations on it. I've seen what our finance people do with Excel and its pretty cool. its a lot more than graph paper on a computer.
Executives don't get paid a straight salary. they will get a base salary and then bonuses and stock awards based on performance goals and you need a decent program to predict the total compensation based on different events
all those $300 million salaries you read about, those are 99% restricted stock that you can't sell for a decade or so and the $300 million is a maximum value based on the stock price. along with lots of other conditions
the Christian Dark Ages was a European event. China and the Middle East were the centers of science and learning at the time. China, The Eastern Roman Empire, Persia, the Arabs' conquered territories.
the reason for the dark ages was that hundreds of different tribes of "barbarians" conquered the western roman empire. once they settled down their traditions of dividing the lands among all the sons created a power vacuum as the kids would go to war with each other. mostly small minor wars that no one remembers anymore. add the vikings pillaging as well. it took a few hundred years for Charlemagne and other strong monarchs to emerge and even then the empire was divided into 3 parts which caused all the wars for the next thousand years
the Christian Church is kept some knowledge alive during these times. the kings and other nobles couldn't read and basic skills like reading, writing and making books was done by the Christian Church. these newly settled barbarians had no way to duplicate what the Romans had done. when the Turks had all but conquered the Eastern Roman Empire all the artists went to Europe to jump start the Renaissance
China was sailing most of the world by the late middle ages and it was a dumb chinese king that stopped it that allowed Europe to rise up.
lock all your computers down. physically check them before they connect to the network. install DLP and other software to disable all ports. kill any unused port on your switches. allow only approved TCP ports in and out of your network. scan everything with application layer appliances and switches
i haven't seen a movie in a few years and went to see The Hobbit in HFR 3D at a nice NYC theater. It was a lot better than a few years back. the 3d didn't hurt my eyes and it added a nice depth perception to the picture
Than the stupid MoTo ones where you rule all the machines or you're a secret agent if you buy their phone that will be outdated in a month by a newer model
WW2, The Firebombing of Dresden. need i say more? the US and British bombed Germany into defeat destroying cities and killing millions of civilians in the process
unlike plain USB the nice thing about it is that you can plug it into your idevice any way. you don't have to line it up correctly like you do with USB. the pins are interchangable so if you need to say charge your iphone at night and its dark and you just want to plug it in the dark, you just plug it in any way the connector is facing. no need to turn it the right way like with the old one or USB
use the swat team and take control of computers while they are still on. or turn them on at suspect's home. transport in hibernated state and then "crack"
as someone who has spent 8 years in the army, the military is fanatical about firearms safety
ammo is always kept separate from weapons. miles away in locked and guarded bunkers weapons are always locked in the arms room and inventoried any time the room is opened. by serial number heavy weapons like 50 caliber machine guns have their firing pins kept separate from the rest of the weapon
at the firing range you only get ammo when its time to fire all weapons, even unloaded ones are considered loaded past a certain point close to the firing line all weapons always face down range. you never point a weapon at a person
i read the article and 12 companies are fronting the money for this with the ownership split between 2 holding companies
apple, google, facebook, and others are the ones buying up the patents. IV and RPX are just the holding companies to avoid nasty lawsuits about licensing terms
IV is just taking money from someone to buy them up and license them out to the investors
i've read that apple and google were going to jointly buy these. chances are that they just gave money to IV just to have a neutral third party hold them

really? the dumb king stopped a pork project that's nothing but a jobs program for congressional districts
private space flight is here and the US is also quietly investing in it
you're an idiot

do they make any products? they should just give up their patents for the good of the geeks
Only because there is a demand for it
How many times do you see people buying the most worthless And cheapest food only to put it into their $40,000 SUV
Priorities
really?
the hobbit was a so so movie with some really crappy parts that Peter Jackson and company put in to make it 3 hours long. the book was so so as well.
critics gave it fair reviews based on the quality of the film. the herd loved it because of all the action
Do you want to be killed first?
For the good if the planet?

its probably your theater

Unlimited storage and CHEAP
ARM is cheaper and that's why intel is screwed
Few computing tasks need the power of an I core CPU

$20?
The batman movie with Heath ledger is less than $10 for the blu ray
I thought Microsoft had them in the 1990's

NO PERSONAL WEAPONS IN GOVERNMENT OWNED HOUSING
really?
isn't that a US flag at The Sea of Tranquility
really? in the 1970's IBM and 6 other huge companies owned the computing market with mainframes
Microsoft and Apple took it from them by selling toys compared to what IBM was selling at the time. same thing is happening with ARM taking on Intel

listen you greedy capitalist pig
you should be happy to live off the pennies you make on selling t-shirts and coffee cups
except on Nintendo hardware with mario games
the modern equivalent is tomb raider and splinter cell where you have to run and jump at the right time
