I can download 1.5GB in ~15 min. Via torrent. It takes longer to drive to a store much less buy and I can do it unattended. If the files are larger then that just means I do something else for a while. Eat lunch, play a game on my tablet, go for a walk, whatever - it's all better than driving somewhere and back or waiting two days for Amazon to mail it.
Uh this was a zero day active exploit. Are you saying you WANT to deal with that? Apple did you a favor. Are you so confident in your staff's ability to avoid getting owned. That's a lot of very sensitive info you would be compromising.
Flight does not require propulsion when gravity is pulling you to the center of a planetary body. It only requires lift. The examples all clearly state that the plane is dropped from a great height.
Huh? The image with glasses works perfectly. I'm almost certain that you're completely incorrect here. It looks like it loads a full set of pre computed images for all available POV and focal points. Sure there is probably a rough threshold but that's a limitation of bandwidth, not the data.
Why does some random cellist deserve my money? If she's a great artist then yeah, people will go or they'll buy the music. If she's an also ran then she should go get a job. The same holds true for any job. Either your good enough to get paid a living wage or you're not.
Apple already has a console in millions of homes. It's called an AppleTV. It just got a software update to support Bluetooth Keyboards and access to iTunes music purchases. Next up, games and Bluetooth controllers and/or iPhone/iPod/iPad controller app.
Wow are you over thinking it. I've got two older female UX designers using GIT to manage their XML based wireframes. they create repos, add existing files, setup a dev branch, make changes, create feature branches in GITflow, merge features into dev, resolve conflicts, merge to dev, tag, create release branches, tag, merge to trunk.
Yes they've had help but it wasn't more than the examples you've described.
If we can reduce the energy consumption of a device, it just means we get to use that energy for other devices, potentially more powerful. Consumption of energy will still increase even if devices are made more energy-efficient.
That's a possibility. Another possibility is that there are only so many devices needed by a person.
Pervasive robotics is the only thing that could create a change in that model.
Anecdotally I've reduced the number of devices and increased efficiency over time. I've done that while adding four people to my family. That won't hold true for long as my children grow but gone are the days of having a device for everything. Now they are all combined into just a few high efficiency devices. A smartphone, laptop, tablet and TV are all that is needed. The TV is only used a few hours a day by the kids which will get less and less as they become more independent and social life takes over.
So fewer devices, more efficient energy use - even the appliances are far more efficient and really how many refrigerators can you use? Washer dryer? Dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, toaster, microwave, coffee maker. The list isn't that long and you soon run out of things to buy. Sure you upgrade for efficiency or features every 4-5 years but you just don't buy two coffee makers anymore, you get a Keurig and make a cup at a time regular or decaf or special roast or tea.
This trend will continue. The big cost is in the manufacturing of new stuff though. That's where the robotics make a difference in a good way (discounting the labor competition) as they are far more efficient than people. They can run at off peak hours, don't require lighting (infrared would work fine), dont need creature comforts or heated work spaces.
So if we can mature past the wealth based society, robots can do all the work and we'll have plenty of energy for strategic and creative pursuits.
Energy use is a cultural issue, not an environmental or technological or even a societal issue. Our culture (meaning the lifestyle and behavior we promote and value) will have to change to reduce consumption. This is actually already happening and has been for a few decades but will take generations to mature.
"Real" money? That's like when my kids asks me where numbers live. Money is not real. It is nothing but a way to trade labor and goods indirectly. Gold, silver, etc. just artificial scarcity at work.
How many dead from environmental toxicity? How many from products they knew would cause harm? Tobacco, Pharma, Coal, etc
Corporations follow the letter of the law. If there is no law they have no boundary. Market forces are short term, they have a regulating pressure no longer than a single lifespan for most companies, often far shorter.
Financial gain and opening new markets or natural resource caches are and have been the agenda for many wars. There's a reason we have a saying "follow the money".
You can father a child with any female individual from one of these groups and that offspring will be able to breed with any of the people in our world, so on and so forth. Of course there will be genetic variants expressed. That is normal and desirable in any population - we really need more diversity and mixing, not less. As a species we need as much opportunity to recombine genetics in favorable ways as possible (with inevitable unfavorable combos happening occasionally as well).
Any other approach would be regressive, prone to conserving bad mutations over good (6 fingers sound familiar?) and generally irresponsible.
Sounds like something ripe for automation. Surely this could be significantly improved with an effective pattern matching algorithm (maybe its available but patent encumbered?).
You should be able to run a match against the body of the patent, have a keyword and natural language graph generated (including synonyms and partial phrase matches) and get back a list of top level prior art hits, run again against this set and get back a full set of prior art (if any). A good system would create a table of matches for an examiner to scan and flag for a second examiner to review. I can't see a system like this missing all of the obvious prior art that has come to light for many of these "patented" ideas.
Most developers are not reinventing however. Most are writing glue code and business rules. All the hard bits are prior art. Every once in a while some clever fellow will look at it all and have a eureka moment (this will be so much faster if...) - he's the one who needs to revisit history. If it looks revolutionary, it's probably been thought of before. If its evolutionary then there's no point looking as the context is the important bit (the business rules).
So yeah CS academics should look back as often as they look forward but programmers should probably just be looking at what's directly around them, get to far ahead and you'll break the build at the wrong time - or spend all year trying to regain your performance profile after refactoring the code to be modular (not necessarily bad, just be sure you've got some political capital to use up).

That's how it should be. OTOH the products will be more focused so you should get more value for your money.
Uh this was a zero day active exploit. Are you saying you WANT to deal with that? Apple did you a favor. Are you so confident in your staff's ability to avoid getting owned. That's a lot of very sensitive info you would be compromising.
Not true. Patent infringement applies to end users as well.
Flight does not require propulsion when gravity is pulling you to the center of a planetary body. It only requires lift. The examples all clearly state that the plane is dropped from a great height.
Woosh!!!!! This low flying humor clearly gets no propulsion in all that hot air your blowing.
You get and keep phone books?

They are using SourceTree, so that could help.

Consumption of energy will still increase even if devices are made more energy-efficient.
That's a possibility. Another possibility is that there are only so many devices needed by a person.
Lighting, cooking, refrigeration, washing, cleaning, heating, viewing, communicating, listening, transporting, making, destroying, storing.
That's pretty much it.

A weak government would allow just that. What do you think racketeering was in the 30s?

So how is Iraq these days, what with the lack of genocide, torture chambers and oppressed populace?

Looks pretty good.
