Apple does not allow them to sell there products for less then what Apple says, and they make very little profit on notebooks. (in the range of 10-20) so you're friend was STEALING from his employer.
Funny how it's stealing when some kid does it, but nobody bats an eyelash when it's a VP.
Actually electronic firing is more reliable than mechanical firing. Think how many times you have used your mouse and it failed to work.
Actually, mechanical firingis good enough. The.45ACP SOCOM pistol can go through well over 1000 rounds without jamming or misfiring and get excellent accuracy to boot. If you have $2000 lying around, it's one of the best pistols out there.
This is maybe the right place to start in reforming arms for civilian use in the modern age, but there are a number of glaring flaws with this technology.
What for? You've named two major weaknesses - another failure point and limited shelf life, but no advantages. Never mind that cops will most likely get an exemption for their guns, which are the most likely used calibers for civilian and criminal alike. Given the choice, I'd buy regular dumb bullets and a simple gun.
I'd speculate that the idea is going to be more along the lines of only allowing certain bullet types to be fired from certain guns by certain people. For instance, a round specially designed for military or police use could only be fired by a military / police gun, and only if the gun was being operated by a soldier / police officer.
Name one. I can get.223 HP or.308 HP and use it in civilian weapons. I can also get.50 if I have a 3 mile gun range to use it on.
The "all you can drink" refillable sodas is more socialistic than the "pay for each refill." Those that drink a lot of soda are being subsidized by those that only drink one and leave. Ironically, captalism has driven the industry to such socialistic measures.:)
Nah, if you actually drank enough soda to make your soda break even on cost, you'd go into sugar shock and die.
That's good and all, but how are they supposed to be able to identify child porn anyway? Sure some of it is obvious. Quite frankly some of it isn't.
I'd be satisfied with going after the obvious stuff. A 16 year old doing porn isn't as likely to be a victim as a 12 year old. Hell, one or two of the current porn stars got their start at 16.
Does a culture where females marry at 14 perceive nude images of a person of the same age to be child porn?
You mean, like Canada? Well, you can have sex with 14 year olds there (until next week or thereabouts). Most foreign cultures I've looked at where that happens are fairly conservative - it's a big deal for bollywood movies to show kissing. anyway, this looks to be a US sort of thing, so US laws apply.
In my opinion, anyone that is willing to follow the laws of this country should be able to become a citizen, easily and cheaply.
Yeah right. What happens when 200M hopeful foreigners show up to be freshly minted as citizens? Any idea what that'll do to our infrastructure? We need some stability and time to adjust. The US is a cool place in part because of what our forefathers did. Why don't those hopeful throngs try fixing their own country?
The immigration policy of this country should be guided by the following principle: "If you are willing to come here legally and comply with our laws, stay as long as you like"
It's more like this: if you have skills we need, then come on in. Otherwise, get in line.
So you've been born into a more priviledged lifestyle and as a result, you consider yourself superior to someone who is willing to make the huge step of learning a language and moving to a different country to improve their life.
No, we simply put our own interests first. You'll find that this is common among people who work for a living.
Go check it out - China has some 68 capital crimes, among them Piracy. They admit to killing some 1300 people a year, although the number is likely closer to 10,000. Yeah, they kill pirates.
How many jobs in NE Georgia pay $60k and up? Also, what's there to do? I'm not really familiar with Ga, aside from hearing about Atlanta and Fulton County.
You're criticism is baseless, people have been evolving socially, it's not "just as it has always been for thousands of years." What a load of shit, we don't tolerate slavery, racism, or feudalism anymore, because we've learned from past mistakes.
Sure we do, just not in this country. Some places, racism is the way of things, just like slavery is still practiced to this day.
Sounds like the current housing bubble with mortgage lenders eager to lend money to people who can't afford it. I haven't yet figured out how to blame foreign workers for that though.
Blame the government for allowing this sort of madness? The party's winding down, and tomorrow's hangover is going to be a doozy.
Hiring a specific person for a job is in no way illigal, the problem is that government agencies and even some companies policies require advertising even if you already have someone for the job. Its kinda silly really, but a simple fact.
It is illegal when the someone is an H1-B and you advertise in such a way as to exclude everyone else (often by requiring irrelevant qualifications).
Well, by your definition, no intervention in a marketplace is ever "needed" since supply and demand will always take care of things.
Now you're getting it - when salaries rise, companies are forced to be more efficient - they could pay me twice what they do (and it is a decent number to start with) and still come out ahead if there was strong leadership in the industry. Most projects that fail could have succeeded or been killed early if only people would learn the lessons from something as old as the mythical man month.
You needed to raise huge sums of VC to pay ridiculously prissy workers who wanted 150k a year and perks out the ass to do no work.
This was never true. The fact is, VCs would demand you spend a certain amount of money every month and get mad if you fell behind. Go ask Jeff Bezos if he paid prissy workers out the ass when he was starting amazon.
This was a short term labor supply shortage and labor demand spike, all wrapped up in one.
Since when? Good people are always hard to find, but refusing to hire older people doesn't help.
There are some local areas where tech wages have started a rapid runup again - apparently this is happening in Seattle now.
Ooh, I hope so. It'd be nice to work somewhere for 2 years and pay my house off.
Sounds like the same thing the tinfoil hat crowd said about the Japanese in the 80's. You must be too young to realize that you have nothing new to say.
If you recall, the Japanese menace was in fact a Stock market bubble combined with a bank that loaned money to too many people. China is different - they have sheer numbers and a shocking manufacturing capacity. They share one trait with China - they like Hegemony so long as it's them on top.
He makes 100k/year. He's richer than croesus because he owns a large stake in Berkshire Hathaway. Rule 1 of CEO ethics: if you started the company, you deserve whatever you can get.
Want a real example? Jack Welch. Of course, he's one of the rare ones that is worth what he's paid and more.

Unless they sensor thinks you're on ice and starts freaking out. Some 2002 and 2003 subarus had that problem.

Presumedly you'd be able to defend yourself and prove your innocence
Prove my innocence? Fuck you, prove I'm guilty. They'd need quite a bit more than a checksum that matches porn to do it, too.
What's Duke got to do with Facebook? Last I heard, it was a skank black woman crying rape to get out of a drunk in public charge.

So Linus has succeeded in making something great, therefore he doesn't matter? I guess he's just going to ride off into the sunset, right?

Not in Seattle. We're in a full-on housing bubble. Wages may be going up, but housing prices are going up twice as fast.
Then maybe I need to keep to my original plan and sell in a bit...
How many jobs in NE Georgia pay $60k and up? Also, what's there to do? I'm not really familiar with Ga, aside from hearing about Atlanta and Fulton County.
I can't imagine that rent being more than $1k/month.
Sure it can. $1500-$1700 is more normal in DC. Where I am, a 800sf condo can be had for $2k/mo.

But it's hard when Free Traitors keep bringing in people to compete with the people already here.
Using phrases like 'free traitor' doesn't help matters. It puts you in the same bucket as the Micro$oft crowd.
