Actually you got burned by the other buyer/seller. I've used paypal for 3 years now to accept payment from clients for independent web programming. I only do business with people I trust and never had any clients attempt to charge back from me. So for me paypal has been fine, the have never been a problem at all.//I also use the paypal debit card, and not put the money into my bank so paypal can't hold payments from my bank, just from my attempted ATM withdrawls I guess, though they have never done so.
Thanks for the info. I wonder how difficult something like google chat would be to integrate such a system. As it keeps all IM messages in its system. I'm guessing these wouldn't be captured?
As Jabber wraps each message in a bunch of XML and for federated systems sends it to the other system much like one would send an email via SMTP, this would obviously wrap each letter typed in a bunch of XML, and send each letter as an individual message.
Think of it as a marketing tool. If it is good students who have used it for 4 years will go on to promote it in business, at which time they will be laughed at, (or not).
Unfortunately the writer seriously confused "Obscenity" with nudity. "Obscenity" by the Supreme Court decision is things that even adults can't buy. There is a restriction on Obscenity, but it is for everyone. The restrictions against children accessing nudity is a different matter.
My comcast DVR has an off. When I turn it off it leaves its scheduler running and wakes itself up a few minutes before any scheduled recordings, and periodically to get schedule updates. But it doesn't buffer live TV when "off". I generally turn it off when I go to bed, but it automatically turns itself off after some time of non use as well.
There is a significant argument to be made that basic programming abilities are the next form of literacy. As 150 years ago, much of the population was unable to read and write to any degree, much is the condition right now of programming. The average persons STILL can not be a professional writer, but there is a general understanding that we all need to be able to read/write in small amounts on a daily basis. Will it be true that in 50 years, you will be expected to be able to do basic level programming, but that won't necessary mean everyone is a professional.
On another part of that same token, while programmers currently make decent money, the people who are making the real killing are those with totally different trades, say doctors, who can also program, and use it to advance their specific job, you will see more of this pattern in the future.
I think its more an issue of finding your niche market. If only 10% car owners feel your car is suitable for them, you may have a problem. If that same 10% feel that your car is the absolute perfect fit and they wouldn't buy anything else, you've just got 1/10 cars on the road being yours. There is certainly a niche market for cars that won't take a long trip, but it doesn't mean its an impossible sale just because you "obarthelemy" don't want it. I could say the same thing about say "cargo vans" I don't need or would never buy one, but those who do need them, will buy them, so they sell very well.
Yes, but looking statistically at what a large segment of people actually drive may help them market vehicles more effectively. Lets say I can buy a car for 1/2 the price but it wouldn't work for long trips. For that kind of savings I could simply rent a longer haul vehicle for such trips. You may not want to buy such a car, but if there is demand for it, there is reason to produce it.
This is obviously the one court case dying to use the Chewbacka Defense.
"Alright, ChromiumPC and Chromebook were created to run the same operating system, Chrome OS, but ChromiumPC decided not to run Chrome OS, then sue the makers of Chrome OS for creating Chromebook. That does not make sense..."...
I think the best case for the first gen of self-driving cars is an enhanced zip-car or taxi service. Car could drive slowly and carefully to pick you up, you then could be required to drive the car (possibly allow autonomous mode on major highways which have the least edge cases). Eventually as the technology progresses the requirement to drive your own taxi could be removed.
You could possibly pull power from lines above it like some rail lines do. Of course then you are introducing an element of friction, but it should be small if done right.
Sadly most statistics show giving raises doesn't work either. I think this is mainly because it makes getting rid of the crappy workers even more difficult.
Look at the picture, see the wire leads on the top, that is the power. I assume this can be adjusted to a simple cable when it is finally out in production. Its still going to require a special wall wart.
Also consider that your Social Security Number is also a secret the government keeps, (and occasionally leaks) you wouldn't want them to keep your tax records, etc for the world to see would you?
On a side note, RedHat is changing its RHCT (Red Hat Certified Technician) to RHCSA (Red Hat Certified System Administrator). I just got an email this morning that they are retroactively giving me the RHCSA for my RHCT that I just received a few weeks ago.
If gravity and all forces were going in reverse you'd probably get younger/lose your memory as your travelled back in time, so that when you got there you would just be reliving the events you already lived..
Now to do it right you'd need some sort of bubble where inside the bubble time is travelling forwards, and outside the bubble its travelling backwards. In such a situation, I guess it depends, you may appear as just slight blips to the people traveling forward in time (like a car passing you on the street going the opposite direction) or yes, your bubble may be visible for the entire length of your trip.. I'd build some underground container in that case... OR like a casket, where you get in... oh nevermind.. Whats the name of that movie? it was awesome..

We still launch unmanned rocket on a pretty frequent basis. We are temporarily pausing a manned missions.

Taxi's or even Enterprise "we will pick you up" are almost always available. And with a bit of foresight you can preplan for them to meet you there.
Most of these got their start in the 70 and 80s. Google and Facebook are relatively recent (Google not so much) and occupied niches not before found.

Ignoring the failings of the submitter, I noticed this one line in the article.
Model S will be able to seat up seven people when equipped with an optional third row of rear-facing seats.
Lul wut? So you can put people in the trunk? The car in the video doesn't appear to have room for rear seats.
I think its an issue of covering your legal backside. When they go after you for having X,Y,Z songs you can prove, yes, I've owned this CD for years.
