My total benefits put me in the top 25% of industry average for my position and region (systems engineering manager in the midwest). If you're consistently making below industry average then you are either a very poor negotiator, your skills are below average in value, or you value something else about the jobs you take more than monetary compensation.
Or, you know we could negotiate a salary that we are happy with given the job descriptions we are applying for. Since I make between 2 and 3 times the median wage I'm ok with answering some emails off hours or waking up to a page once every 6 months due to a system problem. Then again I'm a tech lead and hence management so I'd be exempt under just about any rules =)
No, corporations exist to protect the OWNERS, not the executives or the board. In criminal cases the government is perfectly capable of prosecuting the individuals who committed or ordered others to commit crimes.
So does this finally mean we'll get Simultaneous voice and LTE/SVDO back? Because all the current generation Qualcomm processors lack dual radio paths for some reason, this despite the fact that the previous generation had it. I have to assume it's because they used so much power/transistor budget on 'more cores!!!!' that they didn't have room for an RF design to accommodate features that are actually useful.
4/0 3 conductor cable is only 2,548lbs per thousand feet according this chart which puts it at 2.5lbs per foot, hardly something that your average adult can't handle. For reference this listing puts a fuel hose at.6lbs/foot but it looks significantly thinner than what's required around here.
Considering I actually have 600A 480V service in my datacenter and can go and physically grab the cable and note that it is significantly less thick than the line coming down from the fuel pump I used this morning I'm not sure where your theory crafting is coming from.
480V 600A cables are smaller in diameter than current gasoline lines and probably not that much heavier per meter, though that would take ~20 minutes to fill a 100kw battery instead of 3-5 minutes for a gasoline fillup.
Or, you could send your broken phone to phoneambulance or any of the other third party sites to have it repaired, or heck pay the manufacturer to 'fix' it (ie give you a recertified used one).
My point is it seems whenever you add the words embedded PC or hobbyist to the description you get an instant 50% bump in cost relative to the same/similar hardware in other uses. Perhaps it's because of the much smaller runs relative to a consumer device, but PCB's aren't really that expensive.
Seems pretty expensive considering you can get a Dell Venue 8 with 2GHz dual core/2GB ram/32GB flash/battery/screen/case for $179. Still, for a lot of projects it would be useful.
It's far too pricey for cheap ass geegaws - if it was really carbon fiber, it would be way way up there in price.
Not really, CF is only slightly more expensive than fiberglass to make in sheets, it's complex forms that have to be vacuum kilned that get expensive (mostly because it's a batch rather than continuous process and so slow and labor intensive).
50k tons is indeed huge, the presses that extrude the entire side of a full sized van are only around 2k tons and they shake the ground for a hundred acres around them even though they sit on huge shock absorbers and isolators. I should see if my dad has any contacts at the Cleveland Alcoa site with two of those mega presses.
An auto-upgrade option could make it a good party game, have the game do some quick analysis and if a drop is better overall for the character have it equip on pickup. Obviously you'd want to be able to disable it if you're at all a serious player, but for a quick fun game it would be a neat twist.
Loot 2.0 and the new more granular monster scaling did fix most of the brokenness with D3, there no longer an item wall at Act 2 Inferno where you can't progress without grinding for gold to buy items you have almost zero chance of finding yourself, now you find actual upgrades on a fairly regular basis that allow you to continue on to higher difficulties and you don't run into this steep cliff where you go from slaughtering monsters to being slaughtered through no fault of your gameplay but rather bad itemization. Now I'm not saying you can just jump in and hit Torment 7 in a day, but I took my HC wizard from 43 (Act 3 Nightmare in D3 1.x) to Torment 1 in two weeks and when I found my killing power a little lacking in Torment 1 it was because I was having my health yo-yo more than I would like rather than suddenly being one shotted like happened multiple times under 1.x.
I found PoE boring after 16 hours played (according to Steam), I've played D3 more than that in the last week alone. I'm already to the point where I know I'll be under $.25/hour which is some cheap entertainment.
Ditto, I was talking in clan chat about how unstable everyone thought the servers would become at midnight, one of my clannies chimed up and said he had been on the EU servers at release and they had been stable, and sure enough the NA servers never missed a beat. This was simply the smoothest and lowest bug release from Blizzard ever and probably in the top.1% for all games ever.
Otherwise you'd know that loot is rolled based on the character you're playing. While you'll see an "off" stat like "arcane orb" on your "pew-pew disintegrate" build
Heck, in RoS you have the Enchanter where you can pay mats and gold to reroll a specific attribute, so if you find an OMG good source but it has the wrong secondary skill for your build you just reroll it a few times until you get the skill you ARE using.
Turn it over to the Navy submarine command, they seem to be the only ones who give a damn about nuclear safety (the airforce certainly doesn't, between putting warheads on the wrong plane and the rampant cheating in the missile command that's pretty obvious).
Both Chinese and French satellites detected large debris in the same vicinity (optical for the Chinese and radar for the French) and spotter planes from China and Australia also report spotting debris in that area. It will probably be some days before they can get enough ships in the area to coordinate a search grid, but at this point it's an almost certainty that they know the rough location of the crash.
They're probably worthless, the cockpit voice recorders are only required to have 30 minutes capacity with a recommendation for 2 hours, since we know it was at least 4 hours between the critical event (the plane turning south) and the crash the CVR's won't have any information about the events that matter (I'm assuming 777 uses digital recorders so they won't be able to pull phantom prior recordings like they sometimes were able to on analog recorders)
Customs didn't just do it of their own volition, Fluke filed a special protection order with customs specifically asking them to enforce their trademark (basically it sets up a flag for customs to look for and strongly enforce the ban)
Once the majority of PC games get SteamOS ports, Microsoft is in big trouble as their OS costs money...
Not really, since Windows 8 OEM costs ~$50 and the cheapest steambox announced was $500 it's really not a consequential cost for those interested in PC gaming. Heck, if you can get your system price under $250 MS will drop the OS license to $15 so even on cheap hardware it's not really a major consideration.

It's not a rumor, they showed a start menu + live tiles demo at BUILD this year.

Rotate the guys from sub duty to land duty, they need to get out of the tin can every once in a while anyways for their own sanity =)

Wouldn't the liferafts deploying generate an EPIRB signal?
