I never really understood the dedicated ASIC market for bitcoin mining. If I can build a machine that literally converts electricity into money (theoretically at a profit) why would I sell it for less than I could get by using the machine myself? If I don't sell it for less than it could make me, then who the hell would buy it?
They are just shutting down their lines of small magnets (buckyballs and cubes). According to their website they still plan to sell the larger magnets and are planning new products.
I have a feeling this was their plan all along, turning the CPSC action into a publicity stunt to sell out their remaining stock.
...not unions. Most other technical professions have some sort of centralized professional organization (Chemists, Engineers in various fields, Doctors, Dentists, etc). IT professions are lacking this and it's past time one existed. There are some attempts out there but it's scattered and weak. Granted it is not a cure all for the IT labor market (as any chemist) but it's a start in the right direction.
I don't have to imagine that. A little farther north than Miami, but I remember Christmas of, I believe it was 1989, we had an inch of ice followed by about two inches of snow in Jacksonville, FL. Entire city had to shut down and people were stranded for up to a week because all the bridges had to be closed. There was nothing the road department could do. They didn't have the equipment to deal with it.
Of course as a kid, I thought it was awesome.

Publicize the Manufacture and Models vulnerable, then wait for the malpractice trial lawyers to sink their teeth in. Doesn't matter if no one was actually hurt because of the vulnerability. If a device was in use when the patient suing was being treated and the device had malware (or even could have) they will latch onto that and suck in the device maker into the lawsuits.
Fighting malware with malpractice lawyers. Seems dirty somehow.
Each frame has to match to the correct color on the wheel, which means the projector has to match both the velocity of the film through the projector plus the position and rotation speed of the color wheel to the same parameters that the camera used. With today's tech that's not a huge deal. With a purely mechanical system in the late 19th century, I could see it being a challenge.
Looking at the clip it appears to use black and white film, but with a rotating color wheel front on the projector similar to DLP projectors today. I assume one was used in front of the camera as well. I would guess that syncing issues were probably what killed it.
Check EVERYTHING you are told by ANYONE. I mean EVERYTHING. Call them on it if you find out they're lying to you, and do it PUBLICLY.
There, fixed that for ya. Just because they don't have ties to the government doesn't mean they won't lie to you (or that they are not just idiots).
I'm leaning this way. If Google is killing iGoogle, one would assume its for declining use and that does not bode well for NetVibes. And my.yahoo is hideous. I'm not going there.
Being in the cloud is great until Google decides to retire your favorite cloud.

I think Microsoft is going to have an even harder time convincing corporate customers to switch to Windows 8. Most are just now rolling out Windows 7. Microsoft is not doing themselves any favors by forcing the Metro UI down the throats of PC users. I suspect this is all going to end up with Windows 8 turning into the new Windows Vista for PC users. Everyone is going to hold off until Windows 9 and hope that MS comes to their senses.
They are trying to make their customers happy. Problem is their customers are the advertisers. You are not the customer: you are the product they sell to the advertisers. The shows? Those are just the bait.

This requires a warrant (Kyllo v. United States)

Well duh! They are they guys wearing the blue shirts behind the bar at the Apple store!

So if I were to remove a large percentage of your brain, you don't think it would affect you?

One word: Microwave.

I'd be much more interested in the DNA from these explorers that are so tiny that you can measure them by the handful.
Seriously, did the entire staff of the Washington Post just get back from an extended vacation?
...if this headline was from two years ago.

So..... all conspiracy theories are part of some CIA conspiracy? So I guess that makes you a CIA operative?
Of course not! Our bosses consider email alerts to be unreliable. Alerts are printed then FedEx'd to each member of the data center team.
So now my adrenal glands are going to be required to carry a warning label?
My company ordered all of our servers Scotchgarded last year for just such an emergency!
