MS no longer wanted to be associated with competition based on merit because the results indicated that distribution of merit along gender and racial lines was inconsistent with what MS wanted it to be.
Is MS Intel's new initials? Intel's withdrawal is indeed puzzling. But former chairman Craig Barrett offers a possible explanation:
“It’s such a premier event in terms of young people and technology,” Mr. Barrett said. “But they appear to be more interested in applied things, like” Maker Faire, an all-ages event that showcases homemade engineering projects.
You may have heard that Apple had a little get together today.
This is news to me! Seriously, anyone who wants to criticize Apple should at least go to the product site for details. I'm not an Apple fan, since I don't like the low fixability quotient of Apple's mobile products. But if you're buying into the iCosystem this might not be a bad idea. You trade in your old iPhone, instead of just letting it gather dust in your closet or worse dirt in a landfill. Let's just hope that Apple really recycles the old phones and not just reexport them to the Third World.
Well thanks to the wonders of OCR we can already google physical books and street views. So the next step would be to extend recognition technology from static objects to events, objects with the added dimension of time.
Don't forget the infamous Apple vs. Microsoft copyright infringement case, Microsoft did us a world of good. Imagine where Gnome, KDE, Ubuntu, maybe even Android would be today if Apple had won: goodbye graphical user interface, hello smooth-talking HAL? But until the processing power caught up, the command prompt would rule.
Let's turn Mars into a prison planet. Now that's a tired and true sci-fi scenario. Death-row inmates get a chance to choose between a one-way trip to the red planet and a one-way trip to the lethal injection room.
If that's the case, why can't they just coordinate with the Mars Society, who have been doing Mars analog missions for a longer time? Antartica's probably the best place to do Mars-like testing.
I won't argue that there are still holes in the theory. But those are holes similar to the gaps in the theory of evolution. The theories are sound as a whole but there are still mysteries to be solved.
I'm not an quantum physicist, but the loopholes appear to be in the experiments intended to demonstrate the "spookiness" of quantum theory, not the theory itself:
The first Bell test was carried out in 1981, by Alain Aspect’s team at the Institute of Optics in Palaiseau, France. Many more have been performed since, always coming down on the side of spookiness — but each of those experiments has had loopholes that meant that physicists have never been able to fully close the door on Einstein’s view.
Autoplay is one "feature" I've never understood. Why can't the default be a still image from the video, either taken automatically, the way desktop file managers from Windows to OSX to Gnome and KDE create thumbnails, or uploaded separately by the content creator? Even a pop-up asking you to click to play is better than an autoplay explosion.
My guess is that this will be marketed towards governments to protect capital buildings from drone attacks. Just recently in Japan someone managed to fly a drone with radioactive and onto the roof of the parliament building and left it there for a week before anyone found it.
This is a failure of detection not interception. The laser will only work if somebody first spots the drone.
Do the Democrats at this point have any alternative to Clinton? If this forces Clinton out of the race, a Trump presidency becomes a much more likely and scarier scenario.
My wish is for more low power Intel CPUs. An Ivy Bridge Core i3-class (ca 2012) CPU in a sub-5W envelope would be nice so I can run a fanless setup with room for doing kernel and Android ROM compilation.
It goes without saying great leaders can't be great without having great people to lead. So I don't see the point of the discussion unless it's extended to all fields, including government, movie productions, symphony orchestras and space programs (e.g. Neil Armstrong, Von Braun). Now calling Steven Jobs an inventor is something else.
Just because they confounded Microsoft doesn't mean Paul Allen and Bill Gates have the same attitude toward spending their excess cash. Both obviously can afford to splurge the way we normal folks can't, but one owns a couple of sports teams. Guess who?
Ancient and non-Indo-European languages can be particularly good, as learning these requires engagement with the logical underpinnings of "how a language works". French/Spanish/German etc, unfortunately often tend to be taught using a "phrasebook" approach that might result in a faster route to a passable fluency (provided the conversation remains within comfortable bounds), but doesn't bring the same wider benefits.
Except for the basic grammar, logical is one of the last things I'd use to describe a natural language. Computer languages more in common with math than with natural languages. So trying to understand Macbeth with computer science is like finding out the magic formula for a Hollywood blockbuster. You know Hollywood movie follow a certain formula, but why is a cretain big budget movie a bomb, and another one is a blockbuster?
A 5W SOC gets you down to passive cooling territory. With small form factor desktops, replacing whiny or dead fans are a bother since the fans are special parts that you need to hunt down online.
Let's see what Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung and Netflix have to say about this. They're the ones with the cash to fight this in court.
Some of these companies are actually part of the MPEG-LA, somewhat like stockholders as they hold the patents that form the patent pool. Google is probably a notable exception as they are pushing their own VP codec.

Cloning mammoths is good practice for cloning Putin. Maybe the next version will be shaggier.

Lennart OS should be called Lennix Not/Linux.

I wonder if it applies to forum comments as well... Let's find out!
Probably...
Just as short but more sexy.
Geekier: buy a Spiderman or Batman suit. Avoid Superman unless you look like Christopher Reeves.

Most living things depend on energy and water.

There's a word for this: CARTEL.
