Why would you want CD's as backup?!? My MP3 collection is on my tablet, phone, PC, local backup, cloud backup, and on both Amazon and Google's cloud music services, CD's would be the least good method of backup I could imagine as the labor hours to recover would be ridiculous (not to mention the fact that I've only bought maybe 3 cd's since Amazon started carrying legal, DRM free MP3's).
Considering that Instagram followers and Likes are worth more than credit card numbers on the black market I'd assume the ability to manipulate timelines would find some significant value.
Ding! Next time maybe he sells it on the black market instead of trying repeatedly to inform a company that obviously doesn't give a crap about security.
I'm in my mid 30's and I love our local drive-in theaters. Most of them cost about what 2.5 regular tickets would for a family of 4 to watch a double feature, that's 8 tickets worth of entertainment for 2.5 tickets costs. Beyond that at some of them I can pay a couple bucks and bring healthy snacks for the kids and adult beverages for me and the wife (drink 1-3 during the first feature, use the second feature to make sure we're good to drive home). It's also so much more pleasant than watching a movie at the theater because there no idiots talking, no cellphones glaring in your face, etc.
The reason it isn't free is that both parties pray at the alter of free market capitalism. There is a part of the Democratic party that realizes the problems but they aren't the 2-3% of the electorate that decides elections and so the party can safely ignore them (just like the true fiscal conservatives on the right). Free markets only work when there is meaningful competition and true substitute goods, in the education market neither of these things exists, cheaper schools are not seen as substitutes and price competition is minimal to non-existant.
Nope, this has been SOP at Cisco for well over a decade, they cull the bottom 5% each year, well functioning departments are allowed to make some of their cuts through not filling open positions and other shenanigans but groups that aren't performing will see a real 5-8% reduction in force. Nobody at Cisco will be surprised by this in the slightest. Nobody working on a profitable product line that's doing good work has anything to fear, most of the folks in the wireless division that I worked with 10 years ago are still there.
Torts are a rounding error in the budgets of big pharma, hell even actual research is barely a blip, the development part of R&D is where all the money is spent, advertising and wining and dining doctors is where they focus their resources.
Nope, another announcement in an interview yesterday said you'll be able to physically disconnect it so if you're really paranoid that they're watching you then just unplug the thing.
No pics necessary, it's in the source check out this link. My phone does the same thing but unlike under 4.3 there's no obvious way to turn it off without turning off all WiFi notifications.
Yep, it's one of the most irritating things about my Android phone, even after I explicitly turn off WiFi I still get popups about available wireless networks, why is the damn phone powering a radio I told it to turn off? I'm not sure if it's trying to connect to those detected networks without my ok but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was since it failed to listen to me in the first place.
Really? I run an S&P 500 company on Windows, never had it fail to scale to any task I throw at it. We tried Linux for running Oracle during our last tech refresh, we saw an ~5% slowdown on average versus Oracle on Windows on the same hardware (HP DL380's with FusionIO for primary tables and temp and everything else on the SAN).
R2 doesn't deliver any outstanding new features, but with higher and higher consolidation ratios this was pretty much inevitable, we've gone from 72GB to 144GB to 384GB of ram in our hosts in 3.5 years while the cost of the hardware has actually dropped. Since datacenter edition allows unlimited virtualization that means people need fewer license and hence to keep up revenue costs per license rise. Trust me, the other MS prices from last fall had a MUCH larger impact on most enterprises EA renewal than this little increase will.
LULZ, I've got a 32GB with 4GB free, my music collection alone almost fills it, not to mention photos, video, and podcasts. At the rate I've been buying music my collection will fill the 32GB card by the end of the year (gotta love $5 albums from Amazon).
Computers are down to $25, according to 3 of the 4 charts on this page that represents less than 1 months average income in every country in the world. The current barrier to information is the cost of access and the availability of electricity, not the capital cost of a computer.
No, the auto bailouts ended up costing very little ($20.3B as of January of this year), there were guaranteed loans of close to $1T but since none of those were defaulted on they ended up making the government some money (not really, the government can't make money, their 'profit' was really a reduction in circulating dollars causing a slight amount of deflation). In the long run it makes them money since it kept manufacturing jobs in the US which drives revenue through taxes.
Is this about POWER or PowerPC? There's a significant difference and I seriously doubt IBM is going to risk that sweet, sweet large system revenue by allowing others to produce POWER based CPU's.
A 200mm lens is hardly exotic or expensive, I have an 18-200mm and a 150-500mm, with the 500mm I can shoot shots of birds at 200 yards that will capture individual lines on the feathers which are much smaller than the features on a key.
Not one dime of taxpayer money goes to support the USPS (well other than the government shipping things via USPS and the stipend that each member of congress gets for mailing political correspondence via USPS).
Around here Soybeans are used much more than Alfalfa, but according to this paper they should be doing corn soybean and alfalfa in rotation, it returns $245 per acre on average versus $95 per acre for just corn/soybean.

The batteries aren't sealed because they have to vent heat at a rate greater than you can get through passive cooling.
You think it's a coincidence that Google removed the bookmark bar in Chrome and got Firefox to follow along?

A military coup that's going to lead to civil war most likely.

Hahahaha, yeah right, when cellphone plans cap at 1,2.5, or 5GB streaming everything is kinda stupid.

I doubt it, plenty of people can type 80-100 wpm but there are very few people that can talk that fast (micromachine guy is an extreme outlier)
It's been a while since I've seen a site go down before there was a single comment...
