Maybe they just have a small budget and are passing on those costs?
Anyway, just upload the video to YouTube and scrape the Flash container for the closed captioning (beta, natch). Really, setup tedtext.blogspot.com and upload them there as a public service. Write a simple script to automate the process.
Since when did the Coast Guard have a vote in what measures BP employed to plug the well?
Everybody who cares about this story needs to go listen to the Obama press conference. Really. At least up to the point where Helen "I don't have a career to worry about" Thomas gets a question.
So, what, Obama was lying about this? Are you aware of the situation?
And yes, in a functioning free market, the rig's insurance would have insisted on maximum safety and procedural audits. Because there'd be no $75M cap on liability. Or perhaps you have an excuse for that cap that doesn't involve corporate welfare?
We've already been at sub-100nM processes for years now, and things are already too "grainy" for real comfort.
Yeah, this is the interesting part of the post, I think. We have already 10x this resolution on sale at NewEgg for $79. 10x ago was the "Pentium with MMX" processor, say 12 years or so ago.
So, to keep on track we'll have to be placing individual atoms in a consumer product on sale for a half day's wages in 2022.
Hmmm, I'd have never thought to bet against Moore's Law before.
Why not just say that it will lead to faster computers?
In the 80's and 90's, whenever a new computer chip came out, they magazines always said they were aimed at CAD and:mumble: users. I think that just meant that they'd be expensive as hell upon release.
It's hard to get past the change in focus. you cant have a perfectly clear hud superimposed over your vision at all times.
I thought that was the point of the microvision approach - to take the lens out of the equation. Maybe they never got that part working?

Fedora 13 Is Out

· Score: 1
Do you actually know what you're talking about, or are you just spouting off things you've read online?
In fanboi forums no less.
I've got a machine in my office that's running Fedora 12 x86_64 that has been yum upgraded since it was installed as a Redhat 9 box.
i386 to x86_64 was a bit tricky, I wouldn't necessarily recommend that, but within the same arch, it works well to the extent your package's maintainers care about their users.
Apple will pull the app from the store LONG before they allow actual open software to slip through their stranglehold on content.
If you think Apple is doing any of this on principle. Since they're implementing iPhone as the literal textbook example from The Innovator's Solution, they'd also be close to opening the iPhone since Android is about to walk past them (the book shows that staying proprietary until the product is commoditized leads to the maximum profits).
The timing might not be quite right, but it's close.
You are being intellectually dishonest. Read my recent posts.
All I see is a bit of hand-waving about 'first-mover advantage'. My example described a business method to systematically eliminate first-mover advantage for new inventions.
I'm afraid you'll have to do better than an ad hominem attack to prove your point. I'd like for you to be right, so show the business method by which you can be.
ah, I see. I thought you were referring to in-service planes.
Would a more modern classified plane have been built slower? I don't think so - that would take longer to reach targets and surveillance could be lost. A faster plane would be capable of better intelligence, potentially.
The X37B seems to be taking that slot. Presumably there's been a capability between SR-71 and X37B.
The SR-71 burns a huge amount of fuel and drips it all over the runway too. We have better materials and more efficient engines. But since it's been mothballed most assume those are given.

Notice it says "limited time"
Anything beyond the author's life is prima facie "unlimited" between the concerned parties. Anything just short of that fails the "promote" test.
Sam Clemens's strategy is more valid.
Ted Talks is stupid for not having transcripts

Oh, wait you can't, that would be illegal.
We'll go back to digging in the mud, then.
It does not matter. In many cities and counties, any business selling food items, packaged or otherwise, needs a permit.
Do soda machines at gas stations need a license?
If there's no public safety risk, there's no justification for the license.

Periods are a renewable resource. Feel free to use them.
You missed the memo - periods are depictions of Mohammad, as seen from an airplane - have you no shame?
I wonder why it wasn't ready earlier
The Coast Guard did not give BP the green-light to do a top kill until yesterday. It was one of the first items in Obama's press conference today.
What previous Apple products have been opened after commoditization? None that I know of.
iPhone is the first product developed since the book came out, and also the first completely-closed Apple product.
But you could point to iTunes dropping DRM and Darwin if you wanted prior examples.
Use the myoung dom0 repo. I've been running a Fedora 12 Dom0 for a few months now.
I so want to like KVM, but it's still fragile. I'll continue to help file and test KVM bugs so it's better than Xen at some point.

Or to make devices with retracting/rollup screens, that's what I'm really looking forward to.
Not enough people here ever saw "Earth: Final Conflict".
The Globals would be pretty nice with Android.

Back then, the length of the copyright period was actually promoting the publishing of new material.
Yeah, but, c'mon, they had the advantages of set type, steam engines, and horseback delivery back then. How can we compete with that?
As a new user you aren't going to press ignore, so you confirm everyone.
Wait, who's the idiot again?
I only have a couple hundred friends on FB but they're all people I know and like.
Frankly, my friends with 800+ friends - I could never manage that many status updates.
If you read something like Byte from the early '90s, you will find discussions about the relative merits of integrated and discrete FPUs.
yikes, my memory of installing an 80387 has been completely un-accessed for at least a decade. Thanks for the scrub. :)

Why is that necessarily a problem?
It removes the possibility of an inventor ever making any money on his invention, so the incentive to invent evaporates.

Better fuel usage gets you range, time aloft, less refueling, etc.
Good point, I used to try to do these in NY for $50 or less a head. Doubling that would have been finer.
Oh, and to the other point, no we didn't. We told them to go ahead and take stupid risks by capping their liability.
Not particularly, no. Why should I?
