There is also the little matter of the cost of living in the Silicon Valley area is astronomical compared to Detroit, not exactly assembly line industry friendly.
Either changing designs or refusing to in the face of legit objections (in this case) without double checking things almosts guarantees problems later.
When they built it I talked to an architect and asked him how a building with that many corners and unusual custom made structures could be kept from leaking or even reasonably maintained. His reply was "A roofing builder once told me that those are the kinds of designs that keep him in business."
Calling it "Enthusiast" implies that it isn't for serious use, just hobbyists. I assume they'll want to market this feature to businesses and government buyers eventually. They should've picked a more generic name.
And they could add a full keyboard to the PS3/360, more universal connectors, bigger hard drive, CPU, RAM, etc and you'll have a PC except it is locked down by the manufacturer.
What is the error on these geological date estimates? They say in the article that there was a 300,000 year difference. Can they pin down events 65M yrs old to the nearest 100,000 years?
In games you get multiple lives. You can also always go back to your last saved game if you try something foolish. Real life doesn't have those luxuries but it does have the occasional cheat mode.
He also has no qualms about breaking social rules we take for granted. We assume everyone in our nice, cozy workspace is friendly and professional and that everyone we meet in business attire must be ok. He just took advantage of that trust and those assumptions people make. It wasn't just smarts he had but a lack of shame and empathy for others.
I knew a woman who was a researcher at MIT in a biochem lab. Before MIT refurbished its biochem labs they were wide open. Anyone could walk into almost any room. Grad students were notorious for being lax about security. The local bums and thieves also knew this and would wander in and steal student's purses, wallets, laptops, etc. One day she came in and found that someone had rifled through a fridge full of bacteria in liquid media. Good thing for them they didn't think it was free Hi-C and guzzle it down or they would've spent the next week or so clutching thier stomachs on the toilet. If they'd played with the enzymes for running the electrophoresis gels they wouldn't have lasted much longer.
We must keep paper towels out of the hands of terrorists. Even the janitor's closet has better security than most offices.
Seriously though, companies will take you to court over stealing a few hundred bucks worth of equipment but if you rob the company blind with sleazy accounting, incompetence, and outright robbery as an executive you get let go with millions in severance.

Dammit, it's art! Gehry doesn't concern himself with such petty things as structural integrity or physics. Now begone you Philistine.

I see an increase in sales of eyeglasses and contact lenses in Japan if they keep using cellphones to web surf.
What was TraceSecurity's website again? And just why are their rates so damn affordable?
Careful, this can happen in real life also.
Don't you need a First Life before you can have a Second Life?

He means for China to cut off our supply of farmed WoW gold. Gentlemen, we must not allow a WoW gold gap!
I'm still waiting for the flying cars Popular Mechanics promised me in 1950, and 1951, and 1952...

Sorry, but James Brown laid down da bomb and blew away the house.
Oh please, the FBI is too busy watching communists, potential revolutionaries, and the occasional Jewish intellectual to be bothered with such childishness.
According to the Creation Museum there should be some caveman tracks nearby too.

Yes it is. It has 3 characters while the GT only has 2. That means it is better, just like adding an "X" to a product name makes it eXTREME!
I'd compare virus writers to herpes instead. Somone has to get screwed to get it.
I'm not ready for 586x butt pimples and pubic hair stubble.
The article reads better if you play The Who's "Substitute" in the background.
