Sell it for a 300% markup. Two birds/one stone. It becomes cheaper to buy the hardware and OS together, and for people willing to pay the premium, it's a viable way to get a great OS.
The key to this is that knowing what he thinks is secret is half the battle to finding it out.
Once the executive told him where to target, that made it much easier. If you're talking about sniffing the entire network output of a company looking for important stuff... that's a much harder task.
Not only that, but in a lot of cases, the healthiest environment for children isn't the traditional monogamous marriage, it's the group marriage, as in the south pacific islanders.
Forty or so folks do a lot better job raising any particular kid than two people do.
Think about the advantages: two or three people can look after the kids at any given point in time, while the rest are out being productive. The kids have a variety of role models to follow after, and a variety of job skills taught to them.
Precisely like OS X. Taking an established product, going to the root of BSD or *nix sources, and creating a product which meets the requirements of your users and opens the code while retaining the ability to profit wildly.
Which of course is presumed to be Microsoft's goal. After all, failing in your fiduciary duty will get you a minority shareholder lawsuit faster than you can say Cryptonomicon.
Certainly, with regard to BSD-licensed materials, wasn't there some foofraw about Microsoft's TCP/IP stack being similar-if-not-identical?
Forked projects occasionally, though not always, end up viable alternatives.
Look at X.org, look at the three different BSDs (De Raadt's recoding of things for security) and so forth.
If Microsoft took the traditional route of forking a fairly recent version of the stable codebase, they'd have a decent chance of being able to actually sell something.
I live in a house with extensive skylighting, and that's not nearly as true as you'd think.
Our eyes are adapted for changing light conditions. You barely even notice whether the sun is bright or dim, within reason. Certainly on a bright day, I'm not always flipping the lights on and off as the clouds pass overhead; on dim days, even overcast light is enough to make a substantial difference.
In my opinion, a pretty simple photodiode would be enough. A binary check of "Is the light level above xxxx lumens?" would be simple and easy, assuming you did it every ten minutes or so to prevent oscillation.
Although, as others have said, I tend to think that we should stick to skylighting and/or mirroring. It depends a great deal on what sort of climate you live in, however.
It seems to me that one of Sony's major problems in the past generation was developer support for their complicated console.
From what I hear, the PS2 was very hard to develop for, leading to a lot of frustration getting the most out of the system, a big part of which was middleware inadequacy.
The faster Sony gets the developers to realize the full power of the system (especially important with a new architecture of the Cell) the faster they can claim technological victory.
As it says in the article, the robots.txt is an entirely voluntary measure. The IA doesn't need to obey it, but they do, in order to be a courteous member of the internet.
There's a great quote that I simply cannot find about "Government has no power over the normal people, see? How it's going to be is, we're going to make everyone a criminal, and that's how we're going to get them, when everyone can be taken away whenever we want..."
On further consideration, they should change to a 12w or 15w panel, which would eliminate the problem: A 12w would fix it, as 3.5w would only require about 6 hours (6.8571428571428571428571428571429) to recharge the full thing.
Of course, increasing the battery size by a half wouldn't hurt at all either, and batteries are relatively cheap compared to integrated circuits etc.
That would give it 6 hours of capacity (roughly) which would mean that one could operate about 4 hours a day if given only 3 hours of sunlight, and even more if given the solar panel only 1/9 wider/longer to get 15w.
That would allow about 1-2 ratio of sun to usage. That would make it useful in areas like mine, where we only get a few hours of sunlight on average. Rain sucks.
12v*7200coloumbs(2 amp/hours)=86400 joules in the battery.
8.5w*1hour=30600joules (per hour)
86400/30600=~2.8235294117647058823529411764706 hours of operation off one battery.
That'll last you a while, considering that you should be sleeping for about 8 hours. That means you'll only have to turn it off an hour before bed(at the equinox), and by the time you rise, it will be operational for an additional day. However: (10w-8.5w=1.5w->5400 joules of charge per hour-> 16 hours to charge!!)
Looks like someone hasn't done math on this!
You better not use all your charge, or on an overcast day, you'll be SOL! It takes 16 hours to charge!
I would guess it's something along the lines of new "keys" on a keyboard, so it's like another row of f keys, or an old meta key. So, you can alias any set of keys to one "key" gesture.
At least, that's how I'd do it if there was any logic to it. That'd give access to all the cut, paste, etc without extra processes
This is hilarious, considering the post directly above it is from a customer service rep. I'd hate to be there when he refreshes the page and sees that someone else called him an arse not even a minute after he posted.
I'm going to disagree. I'd have to say, the deeper you probe the mysteries of life, the stranger it gets.
I guarantee you, before Pasteur, no one thought that disease might have been caused by tiny beasties that live in food, air, skin, everywhere. Turns out, he was right. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Same thing with the cosmos. Look at what we used to think, 7 shells with tiny holes in them rotating around the earth. Now, it's a whole set of galaxies, stellar clusters, black holes, quasars, neutron stars.
Oh, boy I hope I aint gonna get a YHBT. Anyway. I still think that trying to figure things out only opens more mysteries to the human comprehension. I mean, what good are we if we don't wonder?
Bank transfer is wonderful. I don't get why everyone complains you have to have a credit card. I've had a cheque-writing account since I was 5, and got paypal approval the first time I heard about it. I've got $100 set aside to send to a comic. Usually $1 every time I can't see the screen because I'm laughing. PA has gotten $3 today.
Hmm, smells like troll to me. True, it's not a FPS, but it's worlds better than EQ, and I'd say the graphics alone put it ahead of the others ( haven't played, so I don't have a for sure opinion)
But I insist, if you're testing, wait at least for your first sunset/sunrise combo. About an hour. I was just swept away by the beauty. Plus, no more camping, no more waiting for quest items to respawn. It's all handled by their quest generation routines. Neato.
Also, if you're not going to play with the other children, send your key to someone who will. I've got one, but several people on here offered cash to get one. I'd go for that, but it's too much fun.
Thank you, that's the funniest damn thing I've seen all day. You just made my day.
Your sig reads: It's GUYana, not GHana. Ahem. You can't wish an entire country out of existence.
Perhaps, on the odd chance that this person CAN indeed wish an entire country out of existence, you shouldn't be correcting him.
Kinda like Kids In The Hall and the "Little God Spot".

I hate the angry drums! hate them! damn you.
This is news for nerds... Ok... Film nerds, but still nerds.
Just because your particular brand of nerd-dom doesn't care about Bruce Campbell doesn't mean the rest of us are indifferent... I hope!

LMFAO!!!! That's awesome! great pun. I feel odd typing to a human after playing with the mindpixel AI at mindpixel.com
you will be assimilated, I guess... I do hope there's more than consuming in our future... Like cheap tarot readings...

Mod up, he's right. Earlier, FP just put up the AO site (lame) and called it good. They must have had as much trouble getting it as the rest of us.
never 100,000 from 8 servers tho, and a lot of the warez traffic is mirrors inside the US.
