I already wear glasses. Whether shutter or polarized, wearing *another* pair of glasses on top of them is uncomfortable as hell. And there is *no way* I'm going to pay what it would cost for prescription 3D glasses just to watch some lame movie.
There are a number of problems with the Sears plan.
With green screen apps in house, where is their experience running a non-mainframe data center to come from?
They're setting up facilities in retail space, which is more expensive than most, which will drive up costs.
The locations aren't already configured with high speed pipes, power, and cooling -- all of which is expensive as hell to add when you're dealing with retail facilities that have customers wandering all over the place for the other vendors
Sears hasn't turned a profit with any of their ventures in a good many years, so what do you do when they pull the plug on this future failure and leave you without service?
Here in Canada, Conservative PM Harper has taken heat lately for breaking all the links on our government's historical archive of the legislation that's been posted for the past decade or two. It's just... gone. The entire archive, except for maybe the past 5 years worth.
That archive is public government information, not Conservative property.
You're too kind. I never have problems streaming YouTube with SaskTel. If SaskTel can get a reliable stream in the middle of nowhere, then there is no excuse for a provider in a major metroplex with fatter pipes not being able to do the same.
If you don't enjoy talking with colleagues about what you're working on and knocking around ideas with them, I don't want you working for or with me. You don't need to be a "Hi how-ya-doin?" extrovert, but if you don't enjoy sharing ideas, you're not contributing to the work environment or the project team.
Did they have someone running on a treadmill, carrying the torch (lit or unlit) on the flight up? Will there be a runner carrying the torch on the way down?
If not, it's just a piece of cargo and a publicity stunt with absolutely no real meaning. It is the carrying of the (usually lit) torch that has meaning, not the torch itself.
I'll use whatever server is bundled with OEPE. I just need one for development and debugging; I'm not interested in the intricate details of different servers. In theory they all use the same APIs, so why should I care what is used for deployment?
Only in the most technical sense that computers interpret numbers to operate.
Very little of the programming I've done over the years involved much mathematics. Even with big batch jobs that did bill processing, the math itself was only a very small part of the code compared to the SQL, cursor iteration, error handling, and reporting aspects of the programs.
There is also the question of whether something like queueing theory should really be considered "mathematics." Yes, it relies on statistics and curves, but it's functionality is decidedly non-mathematical in nature most of the time.
Very few people are involved in the "hard core" mathematics areas of computing like game engines or scientific graphing packages.
I'd never order my medication from a place like "Silk Road." I don't like the idea of giving my address out to some anonymous stranger that I've never chatted with or met.
Silly me. Being paranoid like that.
Remember: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you.
I'm not saying Linux is invulnerable to exploits. But it *is* more secure by design.
Were there a font rendering bug that could be picked up by my browser, the worst it could do is damage my user data and cause the browser or maybe even the desktop to crash (presuming the attack knew which desktop API to target.)
Font and image rendering does not occur in kernel space under Linux.
My bigger point, though, is that Linux vulnerabilities get patched and shipped a *lot* faster than they do for Windows or OS/X.

I wouldn't trust Sears to run a vaccuum cleaner.
Most of their internal systems are still green-screens, FFS!

The bigger problem is the habit of confusing correlation with cause.
How about two teenagers sharing pictures with each other? Is it "kiddie porn" or is it "age appropriate porn"?
Should they be shot, too?
Programmer sits down behind pretty new staff member with a bag of doritos and a coffee and starts munching and slurping.
"Don't mind me, I'm just here to observe your work habits."
*LMAO*
This is blatant indoctrination. China will be jealous.
I am not opposed to the heads up display over one eye.
I am opposed to the hidden camera.

In fact, I think it would be great if fracking and oil sands projects were unprofitable.
Not only that, but a lot of people download or stream 1080p nowadays, which tends to be at least 4 times as big as DVD-quality media.

I never read the book for Princess Bride, but the movie was priceless!
I particularly enjoyed Miracle Max' lecture on "mostly dead." :)

Only once did I find a movie as good as the book. The one and only classic, "Bladerunner."
Personally I don't do drugs. But I use medical cannabis to manage my migraines and arthritis.
There is nothing quite as effective as traditional herbal medication.

Thanks. Downloading now. I've been half-panicked for almost a year that I don't have install media.

Had this been a Linux bug, the patches would have been out tonight.
So if you litter a page with malicious links, the attacks will look like they're coming from Google's servers.
That's kind of cool, actually.
I'd laugh my head off if Google were subsequently flagged as a malicious site. I *hate* bots.
