The difference between NASA and spacex is spacex is doing their test launches without taxpayer money. If a rocket fails it fails on their own dime so they better learn something from it...and they do. Thats why launches 4 & 5 worked fine..duh!
It should not bother anyone to have failures BEFORE success, how many times did Edison fail with the light bulb? several thousand. How many years did it take the wright brothers to perfect glider control with three different glider models before they created the first airplane (four). The Apollo 1 fire was an example of a catastrophic failure, however it paved the way for later success.
Now compare that with the challenger and columbia diasters both times NASA knew about the design problem ahead of time and failed to act. Management both times ignored the warnings of the engineers.
When something doesnt succeed its a failure, if you knew it might fail and you didnt do anything about it thats screwing up
It was never the intent of DRM to stop hard-core pirates, DRM was made to stop casual piracy, the "Oh can I borrow your game" where 1 copy of a game gets installed on five different peoples computers. The MMO people figured out a way around that, pay for play....people will pay for something they see a value in.
Its not collaboration if the bad guys use a tool that you created without your knowledge or consent, open source community isnt responsible for the iranian government using its tools anymore than box cutter companies or boeing are responsible for 9/11 hijackings.
It is collaboration if you purposely sell it to them and profit off it. Thats what Nokia did, and if you think thats offtopic you need to examine your own concience
Elon Musk is an amazing dude. At a time where rich people are not popular, here is a reason that people should become rich , he uses his paypal money to do the stuff he wants to do like electric cars and spaceships and in doing the stuff that makes him happy benefits us all.
Is a forest of intellectual ideas that the neocons stripped for decorating their offices and then left the forest to rot.
The neocons stole libertarian rhetoric and boiled it down to "tax cuts" and "Deregulating business".
As Ayn Rand would say the libertarians selling themselves to the republican party "is like casting pearls before swine and not even getting a porkchop in return"
Even as a liberal I appreciate the value of an honest independent libertarian movement keeping government honest.
Lori Drew lost a printing business and her hubby lost a job as a realtor...thats terrible *sarcasm*, they havent begun to feel what a civil trial feels like.
Megan is still dead. This piece of crap knew this 13 year old girl was on anti-depressant medication, she even went to the girls funeral without telling the parents what she had done. She didnt even admit anything until she was caught.
That triggers people to get their computer cleaned.
If someone really smart were gonna write a rogue program, they would create a program that does exactly what its supposed to but also does X in a blackbox, x being whatever sneaky thing you want it to do. That X only taking up say 10% of cpu cycles and a like small amount of bandwidth. It would keep less sophisticated rivals off the computer to keep the computer running fast. If someone's computer is "running fine" then they dont clean it and they recommend the rogue program to their friends.
In competition No the playing field isnt always level, some teams are way better than others and even the good guys will lose quite often BUT at least everyone in theory is playing by the same rules.
Google is winning because people like their search engine, it works and even 6 year olds can and do use it.
Microsoft often won, and they got in trouble for this, because they owned many of the playing fields and made the rules and told the teams they sponsored about hidden ways of getting an edge on their fields that werent in the rulebook.
I dont really care if Microsoft is selfish as long as they play by the rules and make good products...because Microsoft does make some very good products. Microsoft Publisher is a very good product, there is nothing in open source that comes even close.
Because of course you single dudes never had to argue with screaming kids/spouse/SO and then suddenly some dumbass on a bicycle weaves out into traffic....that never happens. *sarcasm*
I see bicyclists all the time weave in front of traffic, even a good driver will have a bad day. A traffic fatality in the absence of reckless behavior is not a criminal act.
The law only gives congress the authority "To establish post offices and post roads", it does not require that the post office deliver the mail or transport the packages. The post office frequently contracts mail transportation to third parties and could just easily contract out mail delivery or even legally eliminate home delivery if congress allowed it to.
The quote is out of context, the article was referring to the safety of robots versus human driven forklifts,
the gender of the forklift driver is not an issue.
My handwriting is poor and slow and well below my academic level, as a child it left me frustrated and sad and hampered my ability to complete assignments in school.
The computer has been my liberation, I enjoy writing with a computer in a way I could never do longhand.
Spelling hasn't declined because of the computer, spelling has declined because teachers don't enforce it anymore.
Spelling, grammar and handwriting are three different topics. My handwriting has always been lousy, but that has nothing to do with grammar or spelling. I was in the top 10 in my schools spelling bee, but I got a D on my grammar tests.
There is no such thing as implied work for hire, it must be expressly written in the contract, if its not clearly written that it is work for hire...its not.
Im sure the client would happily have included a work for hire clause if they could have.
The fact that its a virtual is irrelevant to copyright, if the client had simply deleted the work, there would be no case. Not having a backup is clearly the authors fault.
However putting on another site clearly violates the authors rights. Of course remedies would have been limited had the openlife person not ignored the takedown notice.
The openlife owner is a moron for not taking it down. Its not a "private" matter if an author of a copyrighted work tells you are showing his work on your server/3d world/website/blog without permission.
All the people who cant find the undo button (cause its not there) are just stupid morons. All the people who trained on office for 10 years and then cant do what they want with it anymore are boobs. The crammed full classes for people desperately trying to transition is just full of clueless newbies.
but its not the fault of interface design...the users are just incompetent Yeah whatever...
Pretty much every Al queda leader has come from a country weve never attacked, many of the countries are in fact our "allies"
The leaders of Al queda come from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, its not our wars that create our enemies its our support for repressive regimes.
In Vietnam a country where we waged a 15 year war, they welcome american tourists and even former american GI's. We dropped atomic bombs on Japan and now we are their strongest ally.
The problems in Afghanistan have been there before the US arrived (for 30 years) and will be there after the US leaves
A phone company might actually use this data for consumer friendly purposes such as offering increased incentives for the other members of the social network to stay such as any-network calling circles and lowering rates. The competitor might offer "Bring your friends" deals to the switcher. It would be idiotic for a telco to not allow you to have your friends number.

USB 3.0 fits these requirements plus its backwards compatible, does light peak? Somehow I doubt it.
If light peak offered 20x faster than USB 3.0 then id be all for it, for double the speed...please.

Doesnt mean its not true...Democritus 2400 years ago proposed the existence of the atom.
He had no way testing this, he simply used logic to deduce it.

Engines reaching desired speed without disintegrating....thats a GOOD feature to have.
but wiping all the innocent iranian blood off the phone sort of turned me off that idea.
It was only a couple months ago this companys products were helping the Iranian government
capture freedom protesters and censor the iranian internet.

optical scan, personally I never understood the motivation for touch screen voting other than gee whiz technology.
When they proposed touchscreen voting to replace punchcards in palm beach county, it cost $20 million while optical scan cost 2 million.
When voters demanded a paper record for recounts it turned out to be cheaper to implement optical scan than to equip
touchscreens with printers.
Sure voters may undervote but at least its their own damn fault and not because of some computer error or dirty tricks.
Theres a can-do attitude that NASA lost long ago.

Sue that witch into the ground, take every asset she owns.
It may not bring megan back but if it discourages some other jerk from doing the same thing it will be worth it.

Hold on there, so journalists shouldnt be able to do it?
A blogger could be considered a journalist.
Should anyone videotaping police officers be arrested?
Im sure the guys who beat up Rodney King would have loved that.

I bought a compaq windows notebook and replaced it with linux mint because I didnt want windows in the first place.
Most people buying a linux netbook from dell know exactly what they are getting.
To be fair to Newton, Alchemy was considered semi-respectable until the 18th century and was the predecessor in a number of ways of modern chemistry.
Transmutation might be considered laughable until you realize we can do it now. Not lead into gold but nitrogen into oxygen.
Ironically, the alchemist who discovered how to distill alcohol...a muslim.
