It behaves like a cockroach. It smells like a cockroach. It is accepted by other cockroaches. But it is not a cockroach.
Reese Roach: The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy. But these are new. They look roach. Sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait 'til he moved on you before I could zero him. Sarah Roach: Hey, I'm not stupid, y'know. They can't build anything like that yet. Reese Roach: No. Not yet. Not for about forty years.
Photonic forms of energy. Radio is not photonic, therefore is not visible. You can't shine a beam of light across a stretch of wire and get a current. They are different.
I have never understood the markets. They appear to have nothing to do with the performance of a company and everything to do with the moodyness of investors. It seems like every day I hear on the radio that a particular company beat wall street expectations, yet the stock price fell anyway. Or that gas prices are going up because of the fear that there might be a disruption and not a real disruption. How does one model fear? It seems to me that markets are nothing more than a scam.
Mod parent up, this is sooo true. I used to work for a private company and left to join the dot com roller coaster for 5 years. Well, I am now back at that private company and it is the most stable company I have ever worked for. In fact most of the people I used to work with are still here. I think a key component is that upper management is planning for 3-4 years from now. You don't get that with a board of directors whose only concern is the end of the quarter.
My impression from the article is that they want Galileo to interoperate with GPS. Does anyone know if this means that Galileo will work with existing GPS devices and that there will basically just be 60 GPS satelites in orbit? Or is it a completely seperate system that will require devices that support both? I'm hoping on the former.
Perhaps, but if these private firms run security at their launch facilities like the airlines do at the airport, we are going to have rockets flying into stuff instead of planes.
But it really isn't their fault. They would be running a business and security costs money which eats at the bottom line. The natural thing to do is to cut it. And there in lies the problem.
Now I know why the band in Jabba's palace look alot better than Jar Jar. According to this article one is more likely to cut the muppets more slack than computer animation. So Lucas should take note and go back to muppets.

I'm going to patent the business model of treating employees like shit. Then I'll sue every company for patent infringement.
More importantly, does it work with OggVorbis? Apparently not. :-(
Cuz I've got cable.
I am not a bandit. I prefer swashbuckling buckaneer thank you.
Apparently not.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

So... security is stoned. That certainly gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Microsoft sues Mother Nature over patent infringment for striking a golfer dead with lightning.
Where is this outdoors you speak of?

We must kill it before it develops language skills!!
