Can you really say there's a duopoly between handheld OSes when one of them is Linux?
IT'S GPL, it's basically a non-entity in the proprietary sense. If you wanted to make a smart phone that ran Android apps, you could just fork Android, I think...
I haven't hired a C/C++ programmer for nearly 10 years, and have managed some large business application development projects (one project is deployed to around 800 locations with about 20,000 users). What is your definition of "real" programming?
In OP's case, I bet "real programming" is anything that involves C or C++ programming. Holy circular definition, Batman.
I noticed that as well. I looked repeatedly for a mention of who Ryan was. Without further development, the context could lead you to believe it's Paul Ryan...
I mean a system where voters rank all of the candidates according to their preferences. There are different ways to implement such a system, but they are all premised on individual voters having more than one vote to cast. An example would be an election with 10 candidates, and every voter has 10 votes to cast. A voter may assign all 10 of his/her votes to a single candidate. Or, that same voter could assign 6 to his/her most preferred candidate, and 4 to his/her second preferred candidate. Such a system allows the individual voter many more options than the standard one-vote per voter system.
There exist case studies of moving between voting systems. Australia's one such system, but I mention that system as an example and not an endorsement of a specific system.
I forget the name of the place...but there was someone trying to sell game streaming like this. Their hardware would run the games and the results were piped to you. But that company went out of business from lack of demand, with many user complaints centered on lag.
So...color me skeptical.
Maybe this will have a niche with people like my dad? He definitely needs a familiar interface and doesn't care about gaming...
PCs are cumbersome, heavy and slow. Ophelia provides a computer experience as typical and fast as any other computer -- again, everything depends on the Internet connection -- but at a fraction of the weight. PCs can’t fit in your pocket; Ophelia can. Heck, you could probably stick anywhere between two to five of those computers into a normal pants pocket.
1.) Talk about hyperbole, batman. 2.) I imagine the lag will be horrendous. 3.) Over wireless?
Funny how they want to engage with the public when it is free and does not upset the interests of any multinationals.
How is that funny? I could have predicted it from day one.
By far, this is much more than could be expected from a White House. An online forum that actually produces responses from the Admin. That's infinitely more than we got "online" from the last Admin or any other. I would submit it's a fine precedent.
The "New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology" should not be called a "mining institute". It's really New Mexico Tech: a small college with a strong emphasis on the STEM fields.
Look, we're still in the days of "It's best if it says Made in USA" on it. I've witnessed it, anecdotally *all the way*, first-hand. I've got two thermal temperature probes. One clearly says "Made in the USA" on it and works like a DREAM. Even has a ton of memory and sensor options. Then there's the cheapo version I got for way less, DOESN'T say "Made in the USA" on it - and it's CRAP. Sure, the non-US version works...after you let the LCD "warm up" for 2 minutes! There's also no such thing as memory on it nor sensor options...You get what you pay for and to get merch from the US still requires you pay top dollar.
Don't confuse cheap for quality. Plenty of things are better made, here, in the US. You just have to not be a cheapo.
You can't totally blame NASA for crying wolf. Last week some yahoo pulled a prank on everyone, and that yahoo had nothing to do with NASA. That got everyone's hopes up and had, again, nothing to do with NASA.

while true, you don't get a touch screen on the Mac. So, it's basically consumption vs production.
I like the idea, but the monitor size (13", about) is small! But it's got a high resolution and a touch screen...
Still, it's interesting if I can treat it like a unix laptop...
I'll call it an interesting direction. You certainly can't touch the screen on any MacBook(s) at the moment.
We do want him off the internet and it is a DDoS.
What a piece of...
That is seriously, seriously amazing.

Good catch, thanks for that.
Well, if it's the DNC, then they've already got office space and the legal structures in place to just hire on some people for a project such as this.
But let's face it, these are all organizations that tend to work together. I can imagine it's a question of legal paper-shuffling.
I noticed that as well. I looked repeatedly for a mention of who Ryan was. Without further development, the context could lead you to believe it's Paul Ryan...
Have the DNC set aside $400k or so to keep a 3 member team of coders updating it for the next 4 years. Don't forget, there are midterms in 2 years.

The US, at least, is ran by a partisan duopoly. This could change if we moved to a pluralistic voting system! Anything else is just a secondary issue.

In other words, fine precedent, lousy president!
Umm, no. Those are not my words or thoughts; you ought to reread what I said.

Doesn't have to be color, but it must be at least able to load up a 8.5" x 11" PDF with no trouble.

This ranks among many software-things that I never expected to see happen. (up there with a "new" BeOS (never happened *for real reals*))

Meanwhile, we should be cutting way more than 4 billion from the DoD and transferring it *all* to NASA.
But let's talk about what dollar bills we should or should not be printed instead. You know, for reasons.
It's been a while, but I don't remember Matlab nor R being all that useful for symbolic math (meaning indefinite integrals, for instance).
R's kind of a bad replacement since if you're using R then you're likely not as under the gun as if you wanted to use a calculator.
Seriously? I didn't even have my TI-92 until my second semester of college. You think I bought it with any consideration of the SATs?
That's not anywhere near specific enough.
Is the exact algorithm outlined....anywhere?
