No way, IP lawsuits are crazy expensive, just the pretrial stuff a lawsuit a family member was preparing for ran to almost six figures. Luckily for them the other side decided to get involved in three simultaneous lawsuits and ran out of money before the billable hours really started to rack up.
I for one hope the new Browns owner decides to go down a similar path, for a decade the Browns have squandered draft choices and money on flop after flop. Since they're in the market for a new GM and head coach now would be the perfect time to inject such a new system into the front office.
Who says the space elevator needs to be man rated? Humans are by far the minority of the mass for a martian landing, so haul all the heavy stuff (fuel, water, etc) up via cable and launch the people on a small man-rated capsule.
It's a 1.7GHz dual core ARM with a 1366 x 768 display, there's no way in hell it's slow CPU. Heck it's running the same processor as the Nexus 10 which has a 2560×1600 display. The biggest problem is probably the 2GB of ram, that's not really enough if you're a heavy tab user and so the OS is probably flushing background tabs frequently requiring a full page download and re-render.
What CAD package isn't available for Linux? I ask because all of the big boys are, they grew up on Unix workstations and have mostly moved to Linux over the last decade. I'm also a bit surprised by the MRP being Windows only, most ERP/MRP packages are fairly platform agnostic.
I just saw Skyfall at a matinee and it was $5.50 per adult, surprise surprise the theater was full which is pretty good for a movie that's been out for 7 weeks.
Did you not read the entire sentence? I clearly stated that we need a safety net for those unable to work until the raised retirement age. I live in the rust belt, so I have plenty of friends that work in factories and on farms that are unlikely to be able to work to 67.
No, a balanced budget is the last freaking thing we or any country needs. National budgets aren't like your personal checkbook, hell they're not even like a companies balance sheet (btw almost no profitable companies have zero debt (a balanced budget) because a certain level of debt is positive as long as it's being spent on things that will increase profitability and/or revenue). No, a national budget is a much more interesting beast, and when you're in the enviable position that the US is currently in it's even more interesting. You'll note that the ratings agencies downgraded US debt and a few months later the markets actually drove the dividend on the t-note negative (yep, people paid the treasury money to buy our debt), what company or individual gets paid to issue debt?
No, what we need is to start electing adults to the House and Senate again that will stop doing things like cutting taxes for the hell of it while authorizing two unfunded wars during a time of plenty. We need to increase our R&D spending so that we can continue to be the center of innovation that we've been for the last century or so. Finally we need to start spending on useful infrastructure projects and stop building bridges to nowhere just because it brings temporary jobs to one district. In other words we need to be smart about how we spend our dollars, not slash the dollars spent.
Finally we as a society need to realize that as we increase our average lifespan we need to on average delay retirement while still allowing a safetynet for those unable to continue working.
None of those things would be solved by a balanced budget amendment.
Thank you! I'm glad to see that my Senator (and former Representative) Sherrod Brown voted nay, in fact that only thing that he's done in his entire time in office that's seriously surprised and upset me was cosponsoring PIPA which he did not because he was beholden to the industry but rather because he believed in the goals of the legislation (I strongly disagree with him on that of course, but at least he wasn't just voting for his corporate masters like so many in Washington).
trust the police to do their jobs without prejudice or malice. In some parts of the world, that's already the case.
What part of the world would that be in, because I haven't heard of anyone perfecting AI and implanting it in robots yet. One of the most important lessons I learned in high school was that everyone has bias, it's part of the human condition. Most law enforcement officers have a bias towards catching the criminal and so they will color their view of the evidence to point towards their most likely suspect, most don't even realize they are doing it.
Exactly, I wanted the GNU/Linux toolset which has only been ported to Android in chunks by people that want certain tools, it was easier to run Debian in chroot and apt-get install whatever I needed than it was to track down the combination of ports needed to get what I wanted (or port them myself). This is in no way an indictment of Android, just that my particular use case was kind of atypical and so the software I wanted hadn't been ported in one package and I was lazy.
What ever are you babbling on about? Android is a general purpose OS built on a Linux foundation that can run any code you want to run on it (I run Debian in a chroot environment on my Android phone as just one example). Now I agree that the RPi has a more hardware-hacker friendly design, but that in no way makes the Android device limited to only certain things.
I replaced explorer with Mediaportal for one of the users on my HTPC, it's nice to have it quickly launch straight into the app when you're not using a keyboard and mouse.
Big business with security requirements, government entities, anyone that creates lots of emails (we have two large groups of mobile users, one primarily consumes data and they've all switched to iphone, the other group primarily uses their phones to communicate and so they've stayed on Blackberry, we told both groups we don't care which way you decide to go, we'll support either) and anyone still on Lotus Notes or who have developed large numbers of inhouse apps for Blackberry (many companies have dispatch apps that are gateways to their greenscreens where the cost to develop a new application far outweighs any potential benefit of going to another platform).
It doesn't do that much because you still have an oligarchy, I have four serious broadband options where I live, two cable providers, AT&T U-Verse, and a fixed wireless provider. Guess what, they all cost about the same for the same packages despite the fact that they all have about a 40% gross profit margin which is well above the norm for most industries. I don't have any caps, which is nice, but the small number of players means I still don't have a meaningful amount of competition.
Dragon, it has not yet received NASA blessing for manned flight but that's mostly checkboxes. In fact due to the nature of the Falcon 9's Merlin engine it's probably safer than anything NASA has previously man rated. Remember that the Shuttle with a 1% mission failure profile was man rated.
Sure, there are plenty of 500HP hopped up Civic Si's for under $10k, for a bit more you can build up a ZX3 Focus to do 500HP, basically if you don't care about fuel economy you can build up most modern 4 bangers to do 4-500HP for the same kind of money you'd sink into a 70's POS.
The 2.0 L (1998 cc) SR20VET was the first turbocharged engine from Nissan The SR20VE came close to 100HP/L but fell a bit short and is no longer produced. In fact if you look through all of Nissan's engines none that are currently in production do 100HP/L without forced induction, and they're really not alone because it takes a heck of a lot of work to do that and you probably can't pass emissions standards because you have to run too rich.
I don't think any modern bus would survive without ECC. Heck Intel even does ECC on the cache lines inside the processor these days (a feature brought down from the Itanium to the Xeons for the Nehalem generation, checkout RAS for more info). The more interesting idea to me is T10-DIF which allows ECC from disk to application and back, I'm kind of surprised it hasn't taken off.
Nah, that's pretty typical. In fact ram is the only component other than HDD's to have a statistically significant AFR in my datacenter. At the peak I had a bit over 200 servers and we'd have a DIMM go bad about once every other month (so say 6 of 1200 DIMMs per year). Heck with my Proliants the fans and PSUs were more reliable as we've only lost a handful of each over the last 6 years.
Huh? The RCZ uses a turbo 1.6L not a naturally aspirated engine, still quit impressive though since 120+ bhp/L used to be the top end of supercar territory.
Diesel has 11% more BTU's per L than standard gasoline at average temperature and pressure, most diesel models get significantly better than an 11% improvement over their gasoline siblings. Much of this has to do with the fact that the diesel creates so much better torque at low RPM's that the manufacturer can install a smaller, less powerful engine without making the vehicle feel like a complete dog. As an example the 148HP CX5 diesel does 119g/km versus the 160HP gas engine which does 139g/km, an improvement of 16% and the diesel is significantly more fun to drive.

Considering basically every transaction carried out over the internet is an interstate transaction you couldn't be further from reality.

Older than that, anyone following the Surface Exploration Vehicle saw it over two years ago.

Which engines are those? The current Civic Si uses a 200HP 2.4L, and the Altima produces only 175HP in 2.5L.
Huh? The RCZ uses a turbo 1.6L not a naturally aspirated engine, still quit impressive though since 120+ bhp/L used to be the top end of supercar territory.
