Amen. First is email and documentation, second is web browser (IDE for a developer), third for the system/application you are currently working on. Monitors are so cheap that a triple head setup could even be justified for an intern making near minimum wage, why is it even a question?
Unless I misread the article they sold the rights to sue to the subcompany "Intellectual Ventures who then sold those patent rights to a private ownership group which then setup “independent companies, with sufficient capital and talented staff to focus on licensing the patent rights broadly to the marketplace."
I think it's telling that it says patent rights not patents. The way the patent trolls generally work is they encapsulate the bare minimum in the troll so that if they lose there is no recourse for the aggrieved party, if they actually had to stand up to countersuits then the model would be less valuable.
I wish we could deal with patent trolls the same way the judge recently dealt with Righthaven by stating that having no rights other than the right to enforce the IP is on its face hollow because no damage can come to the rights holder. If the idea of copyrights and patents is to "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts," then I think it's obvious that allowing firms to just buy the right to sue over a piece of IP is against the intention in the constitution and hence invalidates their suit.
Yes, you can choose between a cheap slow device, a dual core device with a large screen, a midsized device with a hardware keyboard, etc or you can have an iphone which comes in two colors. Not to mention you can get 4G speeds on an Android device, oh and you can pick a provider that doesn't suck ass.
Because most couples without a TV in the bedroom are poor young people with little better than drinking and f*cking to do? Once again correlation does not equal causation.
Reactor vessel breached and slagged core sitting at the bottom is a pretty good definition of meltdown, what we don't have is a China Syndrome scenario, there is no pile of slag in the water table.
You're an idiot, a single lump of coal contains very little radioactive material, but the gigatons of coal that are burned every year collectively put a LOT of radiation into the environment along with huge amounts of other pollutants and greenhouse gases.
Dude, a cargo plane in Alaska is a Piper Cub or American Champion Scout, if you can make the autopilot cheap enough it would probably make sense considering bush pilot is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US.
Dude, the US never had hand scribes! The Gutenberg bible was more than a generation before Columbus set sail, in fact without movable type there's little need for copyright because there's no cheap way to copy a work.
Interesting graph, though I wonder if they included the energy of producing the plants in those calculations because the electric car with natural gas generation seems very high considering how expensive NG MWHr's are.
This is a good thing! As the Minot Train Derailment showed the current EAS system with the need for live operators (and them doing the right thing) is the weak link in the system.
NAT breaks SIP to SIP as does DHCP without dynamic DNS, that's why basically nobody publishes SIP details. Getting a SIP to SIP connection working on your typical home user connection is a royal pain, let alone trying to make it mobile the way Skype can be used.
This telescope will take 3.2GP images of just a fraction of an arc-minute of the night sky. A complete night sky rendering at that kind of resolution would be immense.
Good point, in addition they only define news traffic as that inbound to big media, I would think that the younger audience of social media sites would tend to skew towards more diversified news sources.
Personally I find Fenec's mobile user experience to lag behind both the Froyo Internet browser and significantly behind Opera Mobile. Opera has a much lower footprint as well. Fenec's best attribute for me right now is adblock and user agent switcher, some sites really piss me off by forcing me to their mobile site that's basically just a link to their app.
The reason it's undesirable is the hit you taking when moving back and forth between kernel space and user space. The move in each direction requires the CPU to change ring levels which increases latency.
I wonder if this would be any faster than an implementation that took advantage of the hardware AES on the newer Intel CPU's? Latency should be lower for the CPU based version as would memory bandwidth.
Uh, the analysis of the containment vessel from TMI #2 showed that even with 20T of just melted core having slid to the bottom the there was never in any danger of breaching. That's why the general consensus I have read is that if you're not trying to save the reactor for further operation the best plan is to just leave it the hell alone and let it meltdown and cool down before attempting anything further. There's a reason no significant amount of radiation was released from TMI.
Not unless you douse it with water. The nucleotides light enough to become airborn already have during the period where they were unable to provide cooling so the only thing the water is doing at this point is creating additional risk and more nuclear waste that will ultimately end up in the environment.
Take the lessons learned from unit one and apply to the rest? Personally I think they should have just let the units melt into the bottom of the containment vessel, far less radiation would have been released and unless the operators think they know more than the engineers that designed the containment vessel...
Yeah and crumbling infrastructure is *so* good for growing an economy... Look, the US economy is now bigger than it was before the recession, we need to cut back on *many* areas of the government but all but the most fanatical Libertarians agree that basic infrastructure like roads is something the federal government should be doing and yet they are doing less of it now. I don't think even doubling the federal gas tax would have any meaningful effect on the broader economy because the daily fluctuation in gas prices is that big.

Then they'll just hire the persons spouse to the lobbying position after they leave government.

How much good is that going to do you when the ISP's start implementing carrier grade nat?

I really not sure why you would use anything other than AES at this point and the AES-NI instructions also foil most sideband attacks.
