If the maximum distance from the Earth to Mars is 401.3 million km, then the statuses that they read on Facebook or Twitter will be no newer than 22 minutes. This does not include the initial HTTP request.
With the time and money that NASA puts into researching issues as minor as "how are astronauts supposed to poop in space without gravity", I'm sure that this "gotcha" has not been overlooked.
If they are still considering investing in sending someone to Mars knowing full well about this hang-up, It is reasonable to conclude that somewhere, someone, has successfully developed an ansible, and that they are keeping this technology from us.
What if I click on a link? What if I pass that link on to my facebook friends? What If I comment on the forum that link points to and that comment gets re-tweeted. I doubt any of these actions have made the stats. So, the stats might be interesting, but I venture that the name of the stat is mislabled. It should be titled: "Number of tweets that are replied to or retweeted". Nothing more.
I can imagine that if their os runs windows programs it would be in some sort of sandboxed environment. I didn't rtfa, but I wouldn't suppose that it is capable of running any windows program. There would probably be restrictions on what input/output ports can be accessed. Same for disk / memory access and network connectivity. Maybe it just has a virtual windows machine on it, in which case, the "bad windows" can be wiped. Heck.. the "good windows" could be wiped daily.
If the device is out in the open, and you disclose this to the other party? Can the other party actually require that you turn the device off even if it's on your own property? What about in your own car. I think that at some point, "recorded" is going to become more and more fuzzy.
What if I write something down as you're saying it? What if a robot hears and transcribes it for me into text? What if I commit it to memory? What if my memory is enhanced? Where does the line get drawn? Or does it?
It is indeed as ironic as rain on your wedding day. But you know what's genius? Writing a song about irony where all of the examples, ironically are not ironic.
But, I do see it driving the direction of general tablet development. Instead of having to buy a specialized tablet for "printing stuff" others will simply have to "do that too". What is special about this tablet that cannot simply exist on others with software? Couldn't the iPad do this with an APP? Why would one need the HP tablet to obtain the functionality?
I suppose that HP is still largely a printer company. Even though people are printing less as the days go by, it's good to see them pushing forward.
Same here. I don't like that it's the default, because i have to shut it off everytime I clear my cookies or use a new computer. Luckily we can turn it off, because it's something as petty as this that would prompt me to use a competing search engine. They all pretty much give me the results I wand these days. Google simply wins because of Muscle Memory.
I can't really complain about an open technology gaining momentum. So if it's those pointed haired bosses pushing for it, who cares if they fully get it.
Is a spec for this sort of thing ever really complete? Parts of it often are, and the early adopters taking advantage of those parts are the only reason this stuff moves forward. In fact, by using the technology early, you are helping to determine which features are most important and which ones need to be rethought.
We need people taking advantage of HTML5 now in order show those pointy haired bosses what it does / can do. This will drive demand and serve as a catalyst for solidifying or refining the spec, no?
As for the "usable for any serious enterprise application" part. You could be right. Depends on the application, I suppose. If the supporting pieces are done right, the choice of front end technology becomes less important. But I would be skeptical of any manager pushing for HTML5 simply because "it's the future". I haven't run in to a situation like this to be honest. Most competent managers would be more likely to say "well, sounds flashy, but what does it get me?". It's more often that these managers are BLOCKING the use of such things.
Some open minded managers do want to be on top of these things and rightly so. They want to make sure that their tech toolkit is up to date. This doesn't mean they are going to put all of their eggs in that basket. I would be grateful for the opportunity to embrace new challenges.
Without numbers on how many players actually "leave" as opposed to "simply don't go on to pay", you can't really tell how much of an impact that has. But, from my experience, nagging people (popunders, spam, etc) unfortunately in general does result in greater profit. I think Puzzle Pirates does a great job at making things free, while still trying to get people to buy premiums.
The ones that make it anyway. Do your research. A better statement would be: "If big money was made off of a company, that company was more likely a start up than a behemoth when the investment was made". A safer bet would be index funds. But most start ups fail, don't they? The keyword is safe. As in all sectors, to win big in tech, you'll have to take some risk, which by definition is not "safe".
Actually, when you think about it, you have an interesting idea in there. You move two different cubes in an opposite direction, right? Well, if you move 2 cubes "20 turns" in opposite directions, there will most likely be a path from the state of cube A to the state of cube B, which is more optimal than returning to the fixed state. Neat
No. The statement is still valid. It's not about the actual path between two states. It's about saying "i can guarantee that there is a solution which is 20 turns and smaller". Of course, all configurations must be valid for this to apply.

That's the business problem. Every lawyer has a monopoly on their case.

Same reason lenses on your glasses and the windshield on your care are all shorter than they are wide
Then why craft the title to sound as bad as it does?
When it can die like I can. When it can be taken off the streets indefinitely for doing harm to other people, the way I can.
Same goes for free speech in my opinion.
Lee Burr Office? Glad it's temporary. Sounds like something said drunkenly to a cop after getting pulled over.

Yeah. It's called "Old People"
NEXT.

I'll be waiting for you three years in the future. There's nothing wrong with trying something new. Banking on it, that's a different story!

That ought to be enough instruction cache for anybody.
Does each ad that pops up during this phase count as an "impression"? This would really screw with the Advertisers.
Nice. I hope the spray is also fragrant.
So, yes.

Now just lie in it, and it will do the rest.
> solution? wipe the screen regularly or dont use your ipad while eating barbecue ribs.
So, never use an ipad?
