Seems like you can't be a racist bigot anymore without someone taping what you say and posting it online. How are good old boys clubs supposed to survive in the new millennium? Are we going to have more places demanding people surrender their cellphones before entering? Between this and dashcams and cop cameras it's getting really hard to get away with being a total shithead anymore. We're going to have to see some senators step up and propose legislation to protect the children and good old fashion values soon or it will be too late.
My favorite is when they fired some guy because he was getting too expensive and want to look for someone with the same skills that will work for less but has the same skillset. So the requirements end up ridiculously inflated, and the salary is some pittance that would be an insult to a junior developer straight out of college. Then they complain that schools aren't turning out enough qualified students these days, because none of their fresh grads have 5+ years of Oracle micro-optimization expertise for COBAL systems like their old guy did. In fact we need more H1Bs because there were some guys from overseas who claim that they can totally do that and will work for peanuts.
It might be somewhat more viable if the client uses the GPU. Then at least you are only behind by an order of magnitude or two. Of course people will start to notice if their GPU fans kick into high gear when they aren't playing games.
It's like they set the system up to allow the Bitcoins to be stolen. There is a bit of Poe's law here where you can never tell if a Bitcoin site operator is merely incompetent or actually a scammer. That and there is always a better scammer out there preying on the scammers. Even Ross Ulbrict got scammed for more than a million dollars worth of Bitcoins.
Is there anybody with real authority actually looking for this? As far as the government is concerned someone might as well have stolen all of the WoW Gold or Eve ISK. Pretty much everybody else doesn't have the means or expertise to actually do the real world search. Somebody has a huge fat wallet that they're going to tumble over the months and eventually cash out and unless they screw something up there's not much chance of being caught.
Well that may have been true in the past. But this time is totally different. Sign up for the new exchange today!
It is depressing how many times people will fall for the same scam over and over again. Already we have heard of new exchanges "safer than ever" and people are lining up to put their money into them on the faint hope that it isn't a scam yet again.
It sounds like this is just something they're going to use for product testing. Or if you can buy it you'll find a bare bones service at a higher price point.
This. The wave particle duality is the whole point of the double slit experiment, and it is mindblowing when you go down the path that led up to that experiment.

Is it common to make new chips that only support 3G now? Being HSPA+ also means they won't work for Verizon/Sprint or anyone else who zagged when the world zigged. I'm guessing those are intended for light use appliances? E-Readers level of downloading maybe? It just feels weird that they wouldn't squeeze in the LTE modem while they're at it. I guess maybe Intel built these to budget and simply ran out of silicon? Are they going to be like the early generation GMA adapters that were just total crap and were only there because Intel had a little extra silicon available on each chip?
It's probably using some existing outbreak model and imputing parameters for a particular kind of "zombie". Most of these "scientific zombie studies" are thinly veiled pandemic modeling scenarios.
On a LAN I usually try to go for the most primitive video mode possible (raw UDP frames) and it usually works, even Multicast. It's not efficient, but my LAN is usually way faster than it technically needs to be anyway.
I'd be a little wary of USB/Serial adapaters. I've found a lot of them are really only designed to let you console into a Cisco or something. Start blasting them with Zmodem and they have an obnoxious tendency to lock up or even bluescreen your machine (even a Windows 7 machine). A better solution would be to find a medium-old desktop with a real Serial port on it an use a Null Modem cable there.
PCMCIA Ethernet would be by far the best solution (although good luck on the drivers) if you can find someone who has a dusty old card sitting around on a shelf somewhere, preferably with the still hopefully good driver floppy. Look for cards that don't have the bumps on the top of the connector.
They remind me of an icon set that someone might have designed for an open source file manager 15 years ago. I'm actually ok with them, they seem to convey their meaning just fine, but the look is definitely a bit retro.
This is my #1 complaint with modern UIs: Elements that don't convey any hint of their function in their form. Buttons that are just text with no border. Dropdown menus that are just text or a uselessly generic icon (like Firefox's hamburger icon). Radio buttons and checkboxes that are just text. Invisible dividers that don't do a good job dividing different parts of the screen. It's the box of chocolates style of UI. Just tap everywhere and see what happens. I can't wait for this fad to pass. I'd love to just look at an interface and be able to discern how everything operates immediately like the old days.
I see that no so much that the i7s were insane as desktop CPUs have hit a wall and per-core performance just doesn't increase much year over year. This is why Intel has been more aggressive about power savings and secondary features than scalar performance.
If you drive near the border you will see Aerostats already flying. The downside of Aerostats is that they're in a more or less fixed position so people can simply go around.
Kind of. Exchange's system works great if you are sending mail to someone else on your domain, but send mail to someone on a different domain or even just some guy on the internet and it gets really complicated in a hurry.
By the time the Dreamcast came out, SEGA was already a dead man walking. The 32x and Saturn failures had taught developers that if they developed for SEGA hardware they wouldn't get sales and the platform would be abandoned quickly. The Dreamcast was a perfectly capable box but it was surrounded by the stench of death from SEGA HQ.
Meanwhile Sony was following up their tremendous success on the PS1 with what was hyped up to be a technological tour-de-force with the PS2. Third party developers couldn't wait to sign up and sell a million copies of whatever they put out.
The final nail in the coffin is that SEGA's first party development teams were just kind of bad at their jobs. A problem that exists even today. Sonic titles are just a solid stream of garbage since the end of the Genesis days. Nintendo has a similar problem with third party support on their consoles, but it doesn't matter too much because they put out a handful of really excellent first party titles each year to keep the platform alive. If SEGA had been putting out a killer Sonic game every year they probably could have kept the Dreamcast going and maybe made some headway against the PS2, although the PS2 was such a juggernaut that it would have still had an uphill battle.
You have never used Pandora I see. There is no way to make Pandora stream a particular song (or even artist!) repeatedly. It's very much internet radio, you only get to make somewhat vague hints as to what sort of genre you want to listen to. If you give it the name of a particular artist, you will hear exactly 1 song from that artist and then it will go off into never never land and stream anything but that artist.

This means I have to abandon Java and Flash.
...
I can live with that.

Oh yes, I forgot that everybody pays taxes on their Bitcoin transactions. They must be self reporting them just because they're so honest.

Pretty much anybody funded by the Koch brothers. Clean energy is a direct threat to their business model.

The summary says 3G only on the x3 and x5 models. You only get LTE on the x7 model.

No: Even better: It will actually deliver what was promised.
