Sure HTTP/S can replace ftp, even SCP, and there are plenty of implementations of the common uses for an SSH client that use HTTP/S. The biggest problem is if you are trying to connect to a service that you don't control, in that case you'll need clients designed for a specific protocol which would make things difficult with a locked down phone platform.
Yeah I'm sure that the public sector arm of IBM has more than a few people with Phd's in urban planning working for them if it's a market they take seriously. Oh, and a quick Google found thesetwo examples of phd's in urban planning working for IBM...
Actually MPEGLA DID guarantee that they won't be upping fees significantly, the blogger obviously didn't bother to do his homework because the AVC patent pool has a cap of 10% fee increase every 5 years (the enterprise cap is not subject to the 10% rule however so if you're making billions off the patents it's possible you'll see a larger than 10% rise).
You say it's just business but I bet the entire Harvard library budget is smaller than a rounding error in Harvard's overall finances, their endowment is up to $32B and has been growing at over 12% per year for over 20 years.
You are ignoring the interstate commerce clause which the supreme court has repeatedly ruled allows the fed to enforce any law that might potentially affect interstate commerce, even illicit commerce. California can do whatever they want, but a federal agent has the authority under federal law to arrest anyone for possession of any schedule one drug and interfering with a federal officer will get you arrested by the FBI. I don't happen to like the overly broad interpretation of the commerce clause, I think it's some of the supreme courts weakest jurisprudence, but it's currently the law of the land.
The provider is required to provide triangulation data for phones which do not have an onboard way of determining location for e911, and since federal law is supreme this California law would do exactly nothing to change that situation.
The XBOX360 Slim uses.6W at standby so obviously MS is capable of making a console consuming less than 1W =)
The EU regulations (along with California) are a good thing, when I replaced my tv my standby power went from 34W to.2W.
Yep, I believe the euro standard is.5W so unless the manufacturer is being really cheap on the north american version then most modern tv's should have low power draw at idle. Beyond that the operating power of modern tv's is so much lower than models from just a few years ago that it's amazing. My new 42" tv uses 131/.2 compared to 196/34 for the 7 year old 42" set it replaced.
Actually it's because charging up the cold cathode to full brightness instantly takes a LOT more power and significantly reduced the device life. I can have more or less instant on for my LED-LCD (local dimming, not full array) but it jumps the first hour power usage significantly for very little benefit so I leave it in eco mode.
Since it's a perception index the absolute numbers are worthless, what matters is the perception that there is only a small amount of graft in the public sector. That perception from the US is probably justified since other than the federal campaign donation system which can be seen as a form of open graft there really is very little widespread corruption.
Cruising at highway speeds takes between 15-20HP for most passenger vehicles, 15kw in something the size of a car is nothing. You routinely see a single rack of servers using that kind of power, a passenger car is about the size of 5 racks so you should be able to charge at 5x your discharge rate without anything more than a bit of forced air (AC will be needed if ambient is above ~90F assuming the battery can handle temperatures similar to what electronics can handle). Now, that still means it will take ~1.5 hours to fully recharge so this won't be the best tech for cross country trips but for everything else it should work fine (when I do long distance travel I try to keep my meal stops to under an hour, this type of recharge time would reduce my per-day travel distance by a few hundred miles which can be significant).
God damn ignorant idiot parroting what they hear on tv and radio. The reason those toilet seats were so expensive is that they were actually an entire bathroom for a long out of production plane. The contractor had to design and create a whole new set of large injection molds as well as source and certify a bunch of milspec hardware to operate the lavatory plumbing. Was it expensive? Sure, but not nearly as expensive as building a new airframe which was the alternative to doing the retrofit.
The gold hammer was a similar situation, a contractor was asked to come up with a sound deadening toolbox for working outside the sonicly protected envelope of nuclear submarines. They did a ton of research and put together the quietest toolset that could be acquired without designing new tools (other than the box itself which was a custom part which was both sound deadening as well as magnetically and physically harnessable). The design work was then spread amongst a few dozen production toolboxes for the fleet and a few dozen more for training purposes. When you ask people to do lots of research or work to produce a small number of objects it's always going to make those objects very expensive, but if the alternative is a new airframe or losing a nuclear submarine the work can easily be seen as a good investment. What we really need to do is focus on cost plus contracts and Congress keeping alive programs that are no longer needed by the military but which are kept alive for the sake of jobs in certain districts.
And if you had ever actually tried any of them you'd know they all suck horribly. The Digi units are the best for most applications but they are still flaky and the folks at Digi have no clue about the needs of their enterprise customers (like rebooting any port on the 14 port unit often requires rebooting the whole thing).
You are aware that there is a Kinect for PC, right? They could just state that they will only support that and use the exact same libraries they are using on the XBOX.

In the US it's been law that you can feed animal parts to ruminant animals since 1997, I believe it's been law in the EU since 2004.
Except you can't feed animal products to livestock in the US or Europe.

The newer XBOX360 Slim models having significantly reduced power usage, 90/70/.6W and they default to powering down after a certain time.

Yeah, I'm very surprised that Tesla never made a product out of the trailer they made for one of the beta model roadsters.
Yes, and that's why a comparison is inaccurate, this is no more a V2 than the Saturn V or the minuteman is a V2, it's an ICBM.

Dictatorial style governance HAHAHA
Corruption high nope, try again.
Um, India to Europe is a bit farther than Normandy to London.
No, Turkey would be an example of a progressive country in the middle east.

They need a networked version, USB and PCI don't play well in a modern virtualized datacenter.
It was a rental, he probably splurged on vacation like many normal people do.
