I'm reposting a "5 Insightful" on the members of the committee just to illustrate that your precious liberal progressive party is also very in on this fraud. The ones in bold are from the liberal progressive party. For God's sake, look who the f'ing chairperson is?!!?!?! We already have a progressive liberal party running the show and has been since 2008; are you not aware of who has been president for the last few years?!?!? So, no America does NOT need a liberal progressive party, we need a party who wants freedom.

So in the end we have both employers and potential employees lying their asses off. Bet this will resolve itself to a good conclusion. And people wonder why today's society is the mess it is today.
If 99% of the US internet is through a major telecorp or CABLE SYSTEM, and they already have a CABLE BOX which streams digital TV to my set, who is this market meant for again? I mean, why would I want a streaming TV cable box where it's hooked up to a system which already has such a device?
You say Visual Studio is too much bloat. OK. But then you cite Eclipse as a counter-example?!?!?!? Hell, for example, Eclipse takes 10x longer to just start vs. Visual Studio (for my machine), let alone compile...
Just about every IDE I've seen in 2011 has bloat, IMHO.
Science is when you make a model prediction ten years ago, found false today, and then adjust the model to fit reality.
Confirmation bias is when you make a model fit whatever happens after the fact by explaining it away with some bullsh*t excuse.

Oh, so please tell us EXACTLY about the integration test Google did for this situation:
a) Moving in dense traffic at 65 mph
b) Vehicle in front has blow-out tire and swerves in front of it
c) How does car react? Does it (a) slam on brakes while car in back is tailgating when it could have swerved to the left where no cars are there? (b) swerve to right into mini-van full of kids? (c) Happily plows into car in front
d) In the one to two second time-frame which the human has to decide if the Google driver isn't going to do the right thing, can the human driver take over and react in time to properly respond to the situation?
Yes, I want a full detailed integration test summary from you, since you appear so sure that Google is on top of this...
Why is BP going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on new butanol infrastructure when they have perfectly working oil refineries already making tons of cash? BP's stockholders would slap these executives upside the head and ask "WTF is wrong with you"... Heck if I owned BP stock, I would do that. Oil companies producing butanol would only make sense when crude was expensive enough and people quit buying straight gas.
There's no reason for oil companies to develop alternative fuels until it is economically feasible to do so. Until then, it's better for them to just sit on the technology from a profit standpoint.
"We've looked into biobutanol, but it wasn't economically feasible to produce". Wanna bet?
Know why? They are in the business of pumping oil from the ground and delivering it to your car. The infrastructure is already bought and paid for. All these alternative energy sources will NEVER be economically feasible to the big oil companies for this reason. That's precisely why you cannot leave ALL biofuel research to the oil companies.
OK then, let's revisit this conversation 5-10 years from now and see exactly how far Butamax has gone in delivering biobutanol to the public for consumption. Bet you it won't be any further than me driving an electric car with large scale NiMH batteries.
Does this article fit the "news for nerds, news that matters" criteria? Does every web site now have to show how pitiful my existence is compared to the "rich and famous"?
... here's a thought. Why don't we elect the best person who wants to run for the job, instead of approaching politics as a "winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" dems vs. repubs football game. While we have massive unemployment, industries fleeing the country in droves, massive debt, all we care about is if the democrats win or the republicans win.
To be honest I am not sure what he would think of all the new tools there are to take photographs. Much of his magic occurred in the darkroom as he meticulously used his masterful understanding of printing and printing chemistry to create breathtaking images that to this day have not been surpassed in my opinion.
Most of the magic either occurred under the enlarger or the timer / thermometer + his application of the zone system. Pretty much all of this can be emulated in digital by various Photoshop functions or application of traditional camera techniques and can be done without handling toxic chemicals and spending large amounts of trial and error hours in a darkroom.
To me, the much bigger problem these days in photography is virtually all consumer cameras are getting their sensors + camera controls dumbed down to the least common denominator, cameras moving towards a homogeneous picture taking ability (instead of the good old days where each film type had vastly different unique light capturing capability, such as Fuji Velvia), and worst of all the slow disappearance of print technology and photo printer businesses which equals or even comes close to the old Cibachrome quality of color output.
Manufacturers which at least attempted to make a sensor which had unique light capturing abilities (Fuji or Sigma) are going away. The number of sensor manufacturers are dwindling leaving us with tons of cameras which pretty much take the exact same least common denominator picture, unless you want to sink massive amounts of money for high end full frame or medium format cameras. In the good ol days, you could take great pictures without going into a mountain of debt.
Seems like many print shops which used to cater to high quality photo printing these days are evaporating or eliminating their high end, expensive, photo printing for mass consumer baby album photo printing. Ink jets such as Epson 2200 and above coupled with the right paper can be close to Cibachrome or B&W, but the initial cost of buying all the equipment from expensive camera to expensive printer is going way way up over what the cost of a camera + enlarger used to be. Especially when you want to print larger than 12x18, the cost of a good ink jet + ink goes WAY up, and the number of places who has a LightJet or Chromira printer with good paper is getting smaller every day.
In summary, I don't miss the "good ol days" of spending large amounts of time in the dark room, and loading tons of film in my Mamiya, but I do wonder about the ever increasing cost of creating a decent, unique looking print from a decent camera without investing a small fortune.
Hmmm, on the exact same page, there are people who say "artificially restricting drug traffic" causes crime, so remove all restrictions and then we have people who say we need to restrict gun traffic. Putting all these gun laws on the books has done exactly what to illegal gun use? That's right, nothing.
Oh, and before someone says what harm does a person doing drugs to some other person (vs. guns)? How many people are killed by drunk drivers each year?
This game is an example of when you give a government institution (with no reason to stay in business) loads of cash. The manager of this project probably was some government drone who probably had no clue what made a game great, but the government put that person in charge anyways.
Both my kids and I are real space fanatics, and we openly mock this sad game. This game drains all the potential wonder and adventure of landing on the moon...
I had the same question, but sometimes I'm in a forest canopy area. Therefore, I would assume higher frequency ranges, especially in the Ghz range, would not work there. So in a forest setting, what comms would work best? 40m? 60m? Would PLBs work in a forest?
...does this game allow LAN play? This may follow the same model as Battlefield Bad Company 2 where they say "we have dedicated game servers", but too bad ALL servers are hosted on THEIR hardware ONLY and no LAN play...
It is not the issue of if a game has reached some "end of a run" or not. The issue is if someone else comes along and says "this network game is over for you".
From my perspective, the upcoming small non-service US companies I've seen up close or worked for do not want to compete with China. All they want to do is to grow their business just large enough to become a buyout candidate. If their product looks good enough, then some megacorp will buy the company out, the owner pockets a crap load of cash, and the remainder of the company withers and dies under the new corporate weight. The new megacorp management doesn't even know what they're selling, and China eats their lunch. Meantime, the owner buys a brand new multi-million dollar house and looks for the next "start-up".
Nowhere in that equation do you see upcoming US businesses actually wanting to compete with China...
