Teach every school kid programming. When they're adults they'll think that programming is easy and grip about how much they have to pay programmers at their work.
Actually, Amazon does not state that the search results are not MTM watches. But only a moron user would be confused by that omission, and apparently the court thinks so too.
You're right, in the search results for "mtm special ops" Amazon does not state anywhere that it didn't find the exact phrase that was searched for. To be a little clearer, you'd think they could say that, along with "similar products:" Of course, none of the results have that exact phrase in their model name, not even "special ops."
Yep, the watchmaker limits their resellers to engender a sense of exclusivity with its customers, then sues when potential customers looking at (online) stores not carrying their brand convince some of those customers into buying a competing product. Doh!
Back in the day, radar jammers attracted unwanted attention. air to ground anti-jamming missiles are relatively low cost. There are counter measures, like randomly shutting down the jammers, but there are counter measures to that as well.
You comment assumes that the software/firmware can be uploaded in-flight, or that the plane is connected to a network routinely that could be hacked and new software/firmware uploaded. The flight control systems are generally going to be controlled by microcontrollers running on firmware that rarely gets updated. Qualifying a change in that firmware, even one line of code, is a big deal, since a mistake can cause the plane to crash. So those systems are rarely updated, meaning that they rarely get connected to an outside system. Thus, no infection vector. I'm talking about aircraft that are in service; during roll-out, like what the F22 and F35 are currently in, updates are no doubt more frequent.
So if there's a mid-air collision between a private or commercial aircraft and a drone flown by a government agency, the usual legal protections will probably shield the drone operators from liability. The thought of that kinda sucks.
Heat generally reduces the cycle life of NAND, so I don't see why you'd want to apply localized heating, even if it allowed higher density. I didn't see any mention of NAND in the OSU link, so where did Computer World pick that up?
The debt ceiling increased under all but Bush's first year, even when Congress was Republican controlled or split. Of course, Bush and Obama have war expenses that previous administrations, starting with Reagan, didn't have. And Obama takes the hit for significantly reduced tax receipts due to the recession. It's more complicated than "[insert the party you don't like] sucks!"
That last sentence seem funny in light of the fact that the budget was pretty much balanced under that sleazebag Clinton and then thrown back out of whack again by GWB--by cutting taxes. If you look at some of the other comments, you'll see that if we went back to Regan-era tax rates and cut spending to the same GDP percentage levels, we'd be back to a Regan-era type budget. Of course, the Fed was running a deficit under Regan.
It's not *all* about how much the Feds spend, it's also income. We could cut spending in half, but if we also cut taxes by 2/3rds, we'd still run a deficit. Over the past three decades, we've cut taxes without equal spending cuts, and now people seem to think that we can get rid of the deficit with spending cuts alone. That's just wishful thinking.
That's a strawman. They are talking about going back to Regan revenue levels, in percent, but going back to the same spending not accounting for inflation in dollars. Another post points out that we're moving back to similar spending relative to GDP, which tends to take inflation into account. So sure, go back to Reagan spending levels--as soon as we move paychecks and prices back to those levels too.
After thinking about it some more, I realized that most web sites have a copyright mark on each page. That would imply that all items, including images, are copyrighted. OTOH,placing a copyright notice implies that if you don't do so, your copyright claims are somehow diminished. Since IANAL, I have no clue how that all works out. But it seems clear that if a web page includes the copyright mark, and doesn't somehow indicate that images may be copied, then Google should probably link to the page.
Sounds like you and your wife are poster children for abuse from the health care system. The issues I've had in the past are nothing in comparison. Good luck.
IIRC, jpeg images allow header data that includes copyright info. If you don't care about use of the image, leave it blank. If you do, insert the copyright info. Google's bot can look for copyright data and if it finds it, it can link to the original html page. Otherwise, it can give a link for a direct download.
I think there was something on/. awhile back that talked about some system for the owner to indicate how an image could be used, e.g. commercial, non-commercial, free and so on. Couldn't find it on a quick search, but that might be another option to tell Google how to handle an image.
There can also be concerns about mixing meds. Bad drug combinations/wrong dosages can happen if someone else enters the picture. Which they, of course, will then be blamed for. At the very least they are going to want to take possession of the drugs and dispense them as prescribed.
My post was intended to be more of a joke about how Google, Yahoo, etcetera 'randomize' a common name. At some places I've worked, the first person there gets first.last, and if someone else comes along with the same name, they add MI. That's probably a better method than appending random characters, and can help a bit with the 'helpful' auto complete.
In a professional environment, you always use your real name. Yes, I know this is a university, but someday the students are going to need to learn how the business world works.
I have the same problem with a low end Android phone. As far as I can tell, there's no way to find out how much free space you have on a phone after the provider adds all of their bloatware. At least, not without getting your hands on one. I'd think that with truth in advertising laws, they should have to tell you how much usable memory is available, not just the total.
I agree that you can find usable land in wherever the temperate zone shifts to. The biggest problem with raising food/feed crops is access to fresh water. If AGW is real, significant, and does indeed cause more extreme variation in weather, that could be a problem. You get enough, or even too much rain--direct on crops and for irrigation via rivers and lakes--some years, and almost nothing other years. Ask farmers in the Midwest: Rain at the wrong time is as bad as none at all. Muddy fields can't be harvested. Dry, baked fields have dead crops.
Maybe what he means is that the function is a curve, and too much automation puts you on the far side of the peak, where more automation causes a lower (average) standard of living. That would imply that there's a sweet spot between all manual labor/abacus and high automation with droves of poor/unemployable a small group of the well-off/elite.
There is nothing wrong, from a libertarian or free market point of view, for a group of employees to form a syndicate for the purpose of managing employers.

Neither party has a stellar record when they control Congress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Public_Debt_Ceiling_1981-2010.png

Well, at least finding the thirteen virgins on /. shouldn't be too difficult.
