The problem I have with it isn't as much the different prices, but to have $800 tied up in something that may or may not success, thats a heap of money.
And should my current phone die on me before the Edge is delivered, I'm either without a phone or going to have a redundant phone when the Edge is finally here (Can't live without a smartphone these days).
If the edge does complete, it could very well be my next phone, but just not going to tie up that amount of money on a whim...
Humans make quite a lot of errors when extracting blood, they put puncture the backside of the vein, they miss the vein - and this is on healthy adults with fairly visible veins. When it comes to getting a vein on a child or elderly, it can take them many tries, if a robot can find the vein faster and with less complications involved, then it could ultimately save lives.
Personal experience: when I was a child they had 5 goes at my right hand and another 6 at my left, before hitting a vein. As an adult donating blood, I've had them miss my vein because they where too busy thinking about something else, I've had them puncture the backside of the vein, resulting in quite a huge "bruise" (the blood will flow out and collect in the elbow, which looks absolutely grim, but is not dangerous).
A robot can do the same task over and over, never make mistakes due to personal problems etc. Sure, a malfunction *could* happen, but we have used robots along side humans for ages and we use them for surgeries now, with very few problems.
Easy on the roids mister. As others have pointed out, this was not anti gun propaganda, this guy advocates teaching your children about gun safety and usage. The point about his presentation was that trigger locks generally speaking are for compliance, not for actual safety, a lot of trigger locks can be in place and still have the gun fire.
Instead of going bat-shit crazy, breath in, count to 10 and do some fact checking before berating someone for something that clearly wasn't the case.
I recently started working in a place, where abusive behaviour is the norm, and fuck me if I'll stand for it. There is no need to shout when you can educate. The environment here is so bad, you can see people fearing the walk to the head of development - they know his wrath will be upon them, even for the simplest of questions.
Indeed, but a quick google for local numbers says we have around 3300 robberies a year (http://denkorteavis.dk/2012/10-roverier-om-dagen-i-danmark/) (Text in Danish), majority of these are done with no weapon by the way. We have just around 6 million citizens, so the chances of you getting robbed, is less than 1 in a 1000 - and way less to be done at gunpoint/knife point.
Normal human reaction time is in the 200ms to 300ms range, however, for specific stuff like gaming where we are reacting to known events, we can possibly react faster (sound for instance is keying us way before this, so we start reacting to the event).
Now the 1 MS reaction time for gaming equipment is for precision, if your mouse doesn't stop moving the place where you wanted it to stop moving, it might be off by one or two pixels, which is a huge deal in gaming.
The documentation sucks big time, but a far bigger problem is the lack of standard build environments - and a huge disconnect between supported components.
It's extremely difficult to share code between client and server and headless testing of front-end has a long way to go .
I'm a cofounder of a very innovative system, I'm a computer scientist and we are looking for VC. I would love to be aboard the original plane. In fact, looking at the startup environment around here (Copenhagen), most companies have at least one or two from your list of professions...
So yeah, fuck you, you are the issue, not the plane filled with success...
It is very much alive and kicking on the regular net, else police wouldn't be apprehending so many pervs (tracking people on TOR is almost impossible).
Photographer is a bad example as they are often freelance and sell imprints to publishers.
Unless you happen to be programming for yourself, the code is owned by however payed you to make it - what happens with it after you are gone is none of your concern. In fact, I'd be pissed if code maintained by someone other than me had my name as a developer - I have no idea how competent the programmer is or how well the product now behaves, sure as hell don't want to be associated with it.

You sir, are an idiot. Plain and simple.

I'll be sure to check the malware light and virus light when I start my computer...
Other than you missing the point by a mile or so, a crowbar can be used to beat the person to handing over the code.
You know what? All that lock picking they practice is also stupid, you can force your way in with a crowbar a lot faster.
Or the ATM jackpot hack, whats the point when a gun and a bank gets the same result faster...
The problem isn't when children gets the measels as such, it's when adults gets it.
Saw the near miss on fark earlier, and I must say, the thing that got me the most was Wiggins comment:
Weird way of spelling cats..(?)

Already made, and hacked...

Trigger locks are a joke by the way...

Having a job shouldn't be a punishment.

Where I live guns are illegal, carrying knifes are illegal, only the criminals and police get to carry weapons.
And you know what? For 32 years, I have yet to be robbed blind.

So... How often have you had to switch out your database?
How many sprints have you seen that took 64 seconds?

Why do you think there is a correlation between likes on the oatmeal and how much funding that project gets?
Well there are lots of one legged tripods for cameras, DSLRS have stabilizers, computers, anti vibration, gps etc. build in or as modules.
So no, not exactly a new idea.
Really?

Obviously, you have never hanged out on 4chan.

You are by law required to give at least the EU standard for warranty, you can never write your product out of this.
You can provider better warranty, which a lot of business do, but never worse.
No, it makes it more difficult. No license means you can't use the code.
Or the could hire ninjas to enter your house while you are at work and update it!
Might want to get your meds restocked, you seem to be a bit out of touch with reality.
