Hmm, labor force participation rate is about where it was at the end of Regan's first term, but if you drill into the details you'd see that most of the hit is to 16-24 year olds, and it's largely been because the 55+ rate is higher than it's been in 40+ years, basically the boomers won't retire so there's little room at the bottom. The boomers refusing to retire wouldn't be a problem in an expanding economy, but in one that went through a hundred year recession followed by a rather flat recovery it's going to have some significant impacts.
The tile space is twice as large, can't be reduced, and the app section is not the folder based start menu that we've been using for 20 years, instead it's a shrunken version of the start screen from 8.1 which means things are organized alphabetically instead of into user controllable folders.
Too freaking bad if you don't believe in doctors, they are in fact real unlike your invisible sky wizard and they serve a public purpose. You don't get to have the next typhoid Mary because you want to, you either vaccinate your kids, find them another legal form of schooling, or get a note from a licensed medical professional stating that your child is incapable of receiving the immunization for some medical cause. Your right to freedom of expression ends where it meets my childs right to be free from communicable disease.
Here's an example of how to interact with a GPIO pin, there's a whole bunch of examples of how to interact with the various components of the Intel Galelio board (Audrino compatible I think) here, I'm sure they'll be adding stuff for the RPI2.
It was actually pretty good until the most recent build where they replaced the fusion start menu with the metro based shrunken start screen abomination.
We're doing guest OS customization, using sysprep and answering the questions in the VMWare client the same as any other deployment. I have no idea why you think that VMWare can't do this with 2012 when I'm telling you I've been doing it for several years.
Huh? Of course it is, we've been doing template based deployments of 2012 since May of 2013. In fact it's easier than 2003/2008 because you don't have to install the sysprep stuff on the vcenter server, it's built into the OS so it doesn't need to be injected.
What ever are you talking about? We use template based deployments of 2012/R2 on vsphere 5.0U3, it was supported starting with 5.0U1. Windows 10 should work as well since Windows 8 is supported and I know I've seen people doing Windows 10 using 8 as the deployment type on 5.5.
If you're going to pay Oracle for support you're going to want to go with OracleVM which is their Xen based product, it's terrible but better than trying to make vbox run at scale.
That's odd, that page says the E-4B flies as backup to the VC-25, I thought they used the second VC-25 as the shadow (perhaps if the second one is being worked on they use the E-4B, could be why the order for the VC-25 replacements is 3 instead of 2 airframes?)
Plus it's probably easier to add to the 747 Missle defense and reuse the radiation hardened avionics
Yes to the first, no to the second. The 747-8 uses the 787 avionics suite which is an all digital setup, almost nothing is common between the old 747 and the 7474-8 from that perspective.
Uh, they changed the standard so that those who are milking on the USF can't continue to give their customers 1990's internet speeds with your money...
You can't stream HD video on 4Mbps, you can't get large patches is a reasonable time with 4Mbps, you can't Skype in HD with 1Mbps of upload, it takes forever to seed a cloud backup with 1Mbps (I put a few hundred GB in Crashplan and it took a month, I have more data than that but I had to pick the important data because my upload was so limited), etc.
No, this is really an absurd profit, Standard Oil's net profit from 1882 to 1906 was $838,783,800 equal to roughly $22B today, so on an inflation adjusted basis Apple's quarterly profit was nearly equal to the majority of the lifetime profits of one of the classic robber baron trusts.
The problem is the previous build was visually different while being MORE functional, this build is less functional if you have 19+ years of Windows experience. The previous build had the Windows 7 Start Menu with the addition of a live tiles dock area to the right, it added new useful functionality to the familiar and functional paradigm, the new build is basically a shrunk version of the Start Screen with all the crap that entails and which the majority of users have derided as being less functional on desktops (still the VAST, VAST majority of Windows machines). We had actually started plans for a Windows 10 rollout to our enterprise based on earlier tech preview builds, but those are now on hold and will be cancelled if they don't reverse the insanity. We can just keep using Windows 7 for the next 5 years.
The other major problem I see is that this thing will have so many holes in it within months that there will be significant distortion to the image. Perhaps they'll use a self-healing material? In fact a quick google shows these students are working on testing such a material on a micro-sattelite.
According to this study reentry speeds are up to 9.5km/s so keeping relative speed to something in that range should not be hard at all.
A 2km spherical asteroid of average composition will have a mass of ~1.3 x 10^13kg, the energy of the B53 is ~3.8 × 10^16 Joules which for maths purposes we can assume is delivered in 1 second so an an imparted energy of 3.8*10^6N which gives an acceleration away from the blast site of ~2.9m/s^2 which should be easily sufficient to avoid impact if it's delivered with any time lead.
Delta IV Heavy + deep impact targeting system + B53 = 9MT wherever you want it on the asteroid. The B53 is already hardened for use as a bunker buster so as long as you can keep relative velocity at impact similar to the reentry speed it was designed for you don't have to worry too much about where you land it on the asteroid.
Which brings up an interesting point, the WH doesn't seem to have an intermediate defense against things like small aircraft, cruise missiles, or mortars (the IRA attacked #10 downing street with mortars). I wonder why they don't add CIWS to the roof as a complement to the manpads which are intended for larger aircraft?

Amazon with Prime is another serious competitor.
Correct, Windows only includes standard API's for a small handful of device classes.

The RPI2 has 1GB of ram, and this isn't going to be running explorer, it's basically Windows CE 10.

Err, this is windows 10 IoT build, basically Windows CE 10.

Korean Air isn't going to scrap their 10 747-8's.

Yes to the first, no to the second. The 747-8 uses the 787 avionics suite which is an all digital setup, almost nothing is common between the old 747 and the 7474-8 from that perspective.
The only thing they're regulating is how government money is being handed out to telecom companies. You government is evil people are so odd.
