there's no consensus among oil companies that humans are affecting the climate. Scientists who actually have a clue do have a pretty good idea what's going on, and people like you are never going to believe what they have to say regardless of how much evidence gets shoved in your face.
why is it all you denier types think there is a vast conspiracy of grant-writing culture members but think that multi-billion dollar corporations WHO HAVE NO ETHICAL STANDARDS WHATSOEVER, except to make money, are somehow not interested in spreading disinformation.
their bluffing. although it should be interesting to watch some political heads explode as they have to figure out how to get campaign contributions from CEOs which have been renditioned.
As a subset of working examples in the US, I'd say someone who
doesn't think you can manage your own healthcare - even if it's unaffordable to 30 or 40% of the people in the country choose your own light bulbs - nice right wing lie you have there - the regulation was for increased efficiency choose to work for less than minimum wage rather than be totally unemployed - because what we want is a race to the bottom and millions of people who have to scrape to get by. and how am I going to shop for health care on my less than minimum wage. choose what toilet or shower-head you have - again, what's wrong with regulating for efficiency ? especially when it's needed to counteract the subsidization of fossile fuels ? choose whether or not to smoke - around people who don't want to breathe your second hand smoke or choose to responsibly carry a firearm - yeah, we should just all strap a six-shooter to our sides
dude, you seriously hate people who aren't doing as well as you are, don't you ?
you and I don't want to live in the same country - and that's part of the problem. I'll stay here, you move to Somalia.
yes - should be interesting to see what happens to the young and optimistic who don't make a million dollars and then find they can't get hired when they are 50.
and that good old fashioned genetically modified food isn't patented by a very large fucking company who would rather see you starve than miss next quarter's forecast.
what's amazing is that those people not paying attention are the ones who are being hurt most by the our "representatives". it's not that they can be bought, it's that they can be bought so cheaply...
well of course I can't get the _actual_ numbers because I can't get a serious quote on 10,000,000 LCD panels.
Here's what happens:
get a design done - quote it - ALL THE WAY THROUGH ASSEMBLY.
if it doesn't jive with what they want for retail price vs their desired gross margin either
a hammer on the vendors for better pricing b start swapping components reducing features
to get to the desired pricing. it's always a combination of a & b.
I stand by my statement. They are not losing a cent. That does NOT mean it will be a hugh profit center for them, but they will not lose money on the sales.
however, if the effort does not pan out, they may lose money on the program in total due to advertising, marketing costs etc...
my guess is they didn't pay for the design - but probably outsourced the design to the final assembly house. that's hard to say.
my guess - it's going to be a suckass product on the first round through. I would expect a lot of problems precisely because they don't have a handle on design like Apple does. Apple should still be worried though - people always choose cheap sh*t over quality product and with Amazon's buy a bunch of cheap sh*t convenience for this thing, I think it could definitely eat into Apple market share.
These kind of stories always show up - but no matter how much they think they know about the production they are STILL underestimating the amount of buying power somebody like Amazon has.
Amazon is probably quoting an _initial_ production run of 10 million units. They are getting excellent pricing. There is no way they are losing a penny on these things.
But it doesn't look as incredibly bad as the summary suggests.
Did you stop reading the transcript at some point ?
The investigators were using the Richelieu technique, just trying to get Monnett to say enough so they could find something with which to hang him. I'd really like to know why Monnett didn't tell them to fuck off.
The investagiators clearly had no fucking idea what they were talking about. They spend pages asking him how he knew the polar bears were dead. they spent pages asking him more questions about the dead polar bears. Monnett responded in detail, and in exactly the fashion I would expect an experienced researcher to answer in. Details about how they gather the data, details as to how he came to the conclusions that he did. Deails, not generalizations. All they did was badger and needle him - it's like a 5 year old asking "why ?" all the time.
There's nothing here to suggest any wrong doing on Monnett's part.
So instead of the FBI going after the fucking banksters they're spending time and money going after a guy who made a valid and reasonable claim about the significance of dead polar bears in the artic.
gosh and I thought oil companies also constituted "huge amount of money and political power". But apparently they don't.
Their influence is tiny compared to the power of the EPA.
It would be comedy if it weren't so serious that all you denier bozos completely and utterly ignore that just _maybe_ oil companies might not be acting in our best interests, but are quite sure that climatologists are part of a lying cabal.
oh yeah - "changes in solar activity" - smacks forhead. Sure wish all those climatologists had thought of that !
Thank the gods of the free market they have you to help them.
"The judges expressed surprise that a defendant would even bother to appeal a judgment as small as $27,000."
What exactly does that mean ? Litigation is so expensive that you should just pay up when somebody sues you for thousands of dollars ? Is the court encouraging blackmail by lawsuit ??
The killer is both devices are current mode devices, which means they'll almost certainly never be power-competitive with voltage mode devices
you have no way of knowing that at this point in time. it doesn't matter that it's a current operated device , it's power that counts.
if it takes 1nA @ 1V to enable/disable a memrister then a billion of them will cost you a watt. So what exactly would be the problem ? Based on my understanding of the physics I think it's completely possible that a memrister could be power consumption competitive with standard technologies.
However your point about the fact that it can't be fabricated using silicon-based technology is a good one, but the memrister seems to me to be simpler to fabricate than a FRAM cell, so that may end up being a wash.
Generally speaking I expect much of the PR today to be vaporware promoting, but the memrister is too new at this point. There might yet be something there.
that we have to spend time and effort keeping creationism from being taught as "science" in the 21st century.
Do people in this country really understand that the right wing religious nut-cases are out to make this country a theocracy ? American taliban indeed.

wouldn't this be a terrorist act ?

they just want to see what they can get away with.
they try a bunch of different screw the customer ideas with the sole goal of having at least one or two of them stick.
why shouldn't they ? we no longer have a government looking out for us, and generally complicit with this sort of sh*t.
it's absolutely shocking that the FCC went to bat for the little people. easy good publicity I suppose.

hard drives are not magnetically shielded.
I've taken apart several of them and them have aluminum cases which provide absolutely NO magnetic shielding.
A faraday shield does not work on static magnetic fields, for that you need a case made of mu-metal or similar.

Oh, wait, people gave up the 4th amendment at airports and it's now much less convenient.

I just tried an Archos 4.3 and it was a real POS - I doubt there tablet will be much better.
The fact is that Apple puts out a product that works.
Everybody else makes you the beta tester. I don't need that kind of aggravation to save a $100.
I think you're exactly right. Due to automation I think that everything people need in the world can
be produced by a small percentage of the workers.
look at agriculture for example. so once there's enough people to make all the junk we need what does
everybody else do ?
Latest issue of Nature focuses on Alzheimers.
It's been very difficult to make progress. However it's possible to slow it's progress and early detection is critical to that effort.
Hope this is for real and not just an advertisemnt to attract resarch dollars.
really it starts with lazy hardware design. Low power design is not difficult but you have to do it from the start.
There should be very, very little price difference between the two versions.

OFDM is the same modulation technique used for WLAN.
Seems like the hard part is generating that wide variety of wavelengths.
The thing which is kind of critical is that you need an FFT that you can process at several trillion operations a second.
The FA says they are doing this photonically, which to me, is the cool part.
"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."
