Fact check:
Tesla purchased the NUMMI factory building in Oct 2010; no expertise was transferred. Toyota's most valuable equipment had been shipped out in April/May 2010, after the plant was closed; other on-site equipment was auctioned off In June 2010. Tesla purchased the "left-overs" parts and equipment worth 15M in Oct 2010, while the tooling cost of a new auto plant is around 1 billion...
I wouldn't say they purchased a plant, just the building.
Mr. Musk, Given that Tesla has burnt through over 3 billion dollars wouldnâ(TM)t it have been cheaper to buy a small auto plant (or even a whole company) instead of re-inventing the assembly line from scratch?
Fixed it for you:
The part that you're overlooking is that roads are a scarce resource in cities, so we really don't want a large number of private cars looking for free parking adding to congestion. See: http://www.economist.com/news/... and http://www.economist.com/news/...
As per de Broglieâ"Bohm pilot wave theory, changing the properties of the wave by modifying Bill's setup will have measurable effects on Alice's not outgoing particle:-)
It's so much simpler when you're using pilot wave theory. There's a particle and there's a wave. Literally.
Well, obviously:
If you're averaging many real numbers between 41 and 43, you'll get a number close to 42.
If you're averaging many "objects that look like human faces" you'll get something that looks like a human face.
What did they expect ? White Noise ? A porcupine ? 7 ?
"When the message came, it found Tedesco in his usual character. He was lying on the air-draft with his brain pleasure centers plugged into the triggering current. So deeply lost in pleasure was he that the food, the women, the clothing, the books of his apartments were completely neglected and forgotten. All pleasure save the pleasure of electricity acting on the brain was forgotten."
The neutrinos were moving faster than the measured speed of light in vacuum. This is very interesting.
We assume that the speed of light in vacuum equals the maximum speed for the transmission of information. That is not _necessarily_ true since vacuum contains quantum fluctuations, dark energy and other quantum effects. In this case "c" would only be an approximation for the maximum speed for the transmission of information.
Proposed Explanation: the speed of light in vacuum (c) and the observed neutrino speed are both less than the maximum speed for the transmission of information ( c++ ?).
A theoretical approach to piracy on the Android:
Pirates fall largely into two categories - Can pay, Won't pay and Can't pay, Won't pay - for Laconia's sake* let's call the Can Pay Pirates and Can't Pay Pirates.
The Can't Pay Pirates are not an issue on Android since - the device is very f.g expensive and the apps are comparatively cheap (oh, did I mention that the devices - just like most stuff except food, services probably clothes - it's MORE expensive in POOR countries than in the good old US of A?)
The Can Pay Pirates are therefore the area of concern - and looking at the world map of piracy it's expected that the good old US of A would come on top by a large margin, as usual (since it's holding the top spot for software piracy by value on all charts ladies and gentlemen - all - freaking charts from BSA: http://portal.bsa.org/globalpiracy2009/studies/globalpiracystudy2009.pdf).
What a surprise. Good bye and good night.
*In case you were wondering Laconia was the region surrounding and ruled by the Spartans, who were known for their brevity in speech.
It's wrong to do this kind of poor bloody marketing stunts. Very angry at GOG now, probably having a stroke soon.
I would expect a "big announcement" like GOG Beta Closed / GOG Release 1 Opened. Anticipated by the fact that their sale closed down at 11:59 AM on Sunday (from memory). I was a bit surprised because usually sales close down on Monday.
I've had a full color book reader for the last year. It's (of course), an Android phone with FBReaderJ for ePub support. In order to reduce eye strain I use it in reverse color mode (White text on black background). Beats paper books & Kindle for portability and the battery lasts for 2-3 days.
A "book reader" is an extremely limited device - why should I buy one when I can read books on my phone?
This sounds a lot like the idea I had 1 year ago , but never had time to put in practice. [I'm still slaving for a "corporate juggernaut"]
I was planning to call it the Virtual Company - a completely flat structure where teams and individuals work on commercial / open projects of choice. [By the way I know some great sales guys with telecom contacts which can pull in contracts worth several million / year ].
Now I see the same idea on slashdot. The time has come for revolution;-) Going to RTA as soon as I finish the Customer Solution Description I'm working on (probably around 3 AM local time).
My wife has a Sempron laptop and she was complaining about it becoming extremely slow after 1 hour of use.
I've investigated and it turns out that the system ends up throttling down to 800Mhz (from 2.0Ghz) due to overheat. So now she turns the AC on when she's using the computer. Maybe I should get her a netbook to save on my electric bills?

Steps to reproduce: 1.Install SP2 on a windows xp machine, part of an AD domain. 2.Access and modify some group policy objects... so that the *.adm files get updated - e.g. ENABLE domain-wide apply to all network connections in Network Connections / Windows Firewall, on the patched machine, as 3.Try to do the same on the domain cotroller, a Win2k machine... 4.Watch mmc truncating about 500.000 help strings, cause this version of mmc (win2k- sp4) only takes 256 characters in a help string. Press OK about 500.000 times. 5.Give Up. CTRL + ALT + DEL. End TASK NOW. Go Home.
We don't know anything about how empty space behaves under a certain threshold of e-m and gravitational fields. No empirical evidence and *no hope* of ever getting any, because obviously you can't study it directly. Who knows what space does when nobody is looking:)
Sorry, but your logic doesn't hold water. Part 1. The GPL does not restrict in any way the use of the works and the creation of derivative works. It does not impose additional conditions on the use of the works or the creation of derivative works.
Understand? No restrictions on the creation of derivative works.
Part 2. Copyright law does not allow for distribution of derivative works. The GPL allows with the provision that all source code be made available and placed under GPL.

I remember reading a SF book about this not so long ago...Greg Egan - Quarantine The book was written 13 years ago, in 1995. You can find it here : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quarantine-Greg-Egan/dp/0061054232/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1195873578&sr=8-1.
