And they're telling everyone! Everywhere! Just now, I checked in with them, you're in the bathroom slashdotting! They told me so, and G+ says you're low on toilet paper! OH NOES!!!
on a lighter note, only a silly person thinks they're getting location data for free from a service which isn't also recording that location data. How do you think they fund the service?
Manufacturing is not where the money is. It never has been and never will be.
Actually this is the misnomer of the modern generation, factory work was for a great length of time the work horse for the middle class. It was hard labor that allowed those willing to work hard but lacking any extremely valuable skills the ability to at least enter the middle class on work ethic alone. Now that's not the case anymore, our middle class is a fraction of what it used to be. Unfortunate but true, factory jobs still exist in this country, they just pay the same as a burger flipper but are much harder, so surprise surprise nobody takes them anymore (unless in the case of unionized shops where unions try and wrestle it too far the other way ensuring their members get paid far above a middle class wage for a far smaller expression of work ethic).
Seriously, what the eff do they do? It reads like they invented AI, but I think I would have heard about that. If HP is serious about this company, I think someone at the top is enforcing a new mass hysteria policy.. Either that, or I am just seriously too dumb for this Autonomy company who is clearly the "market leader" as their quote banner says (in what market again??)..
So does this mean that even though I have explicitly not given my yahoo account to my facebook account, they're about to sync with eachother anyway? Great.
And anyone who thought it was has not been programming for very long, or simply doesn't learn from history.
On the plus side, HTML5 should make some aspects of life a bit easier, and hopefully introduce only a small number of new challenges.
Cheers.
Chiefly among those new challenges is that annoying fanboy you work with who will zealously tout it as the cure for polio with such zest and excitement, management will believe him. Then when he implements something that only cures a working computer of it's health, you'll be the one expected to fix the anti-polio HTML5 web app (which will surely have many more buzzword terms attached to it by then increasing how much people expect you to do with it).
So you're saying that people who can't afford to lose time at work filing court papers nor afford legal counsel to do so for them, have a chance at justice when rich people defraud them?
Truth: Many people take advantage of others specifically in the situations where there is no chance at justice.
I guess we're all supposed to disable our radios and never drive with our kid in the car.. people think a cell phone is a distraction? Try driving with your kid screaming his brains out in the back seat. The whole anti-cell phone crusade is just a generational complaint from adults towards the younger folk who are on their cell phones 24/7. I'm not saying people should be doing this, but people have been eating big macs while driving for decades and there was never such a huge public outcry about that, or any number of other equally large or greater distractions than a cell phone.
This anti-cell phone thing is just a bandwagon, I don't condone distracted driving but I also don't condone repeating the opinion of the year. Studies have shown driving tired impairs judgement just as much as drunk, and studies show driving talking with a passenger has equal impairment as being on a cell phone. We want to get up in arms about driving faux pa's, how about the fact that people complain about red light cameras. Honestly, what are people complaining about? The fact that they can't run a red light without getting caught?
Cell-phones in the whole scheme of driving are just the trend to complain about right now. I guess people got tired of complaining about the noise from rice burners ten years ago.
Good to know, I've toyed with the idea of trying to create a javascript jit, anyone who understands crockfordscript (which these days is practically everybody, making it all the more valueable) recognizes performance is the only thing missing from what could be one hell of a good language..
Count me out of an armed revolt. Too much bloodshed, and it creates more problems than it solves.
Only because you're still in the comfort zone created by the bread and circuses. But that's ok they are going to erode a little more of your rights every year, until finally you won't care about shedding blood anymore. Revolution happens when the people would rather be dead than live under such conditions. Today people are still willing to live under these conditions - indeed the US is still much better than "those other places". However there are those of us that still remember that it was much better than it is today. It's only a matter of time.
Comfort zone perhaps, I think the real step back from violence happens when you have children though. I remember entertaining fanciful ideas of saying eff it back in the day, but I have responsibilities now. Let them erode my rights untill the crazy buggers like you take up arms, I'll have my wife and child on the first boat out and hope y'all make something worth coming back to.

"old-fashioned way"? Crawling?
Can anyone tell me what this thing actually does?? http://www.autonomy.com/content/Products/products-idol-server/index.en.html HP offered to buy this company, which for all appearances, serves a great purpose: Enterpriseyness

On the bright side, I have suddenly been getting these AMAZING offers in my e-mail!

atmospheric re-entry be damned, let us consumers pay the maintenance in the form of skydiving tickets!
