I have no understanding of the big contractor working on a government project world, so maybe someone could explain to me why when a contractor bids for a project like this and doesn't meet the budget or deadline they don't just have to eat their losses and get fined for not completing on time.
I know there is no real comparison, but I'm working on a video project for someone that's taking up more of my time than I anticipated and is generally not really worth the effort but once we've decided on a price it's my obligation to complete it, and we haven't even signed a contract.
I recently decided to watch Fringe after previously thinking it was going to be another cheesy pop-sci-fi show (which it is to some extent) but I rather enjoyed it. Anyway, the characters use Apple computer as does almost any other show (I really would have figured House would use a Thinkpad or something) there was even one point where one character left a Macbook full of secrets because another character had the same fucking model. I found it quite amusing that at one point we see some people using a computer in the alternate universe and there's a giant stonking Windows logo as the wallpaper.
I remember that at some point, I believe under Leto II's rule Arrakis basically has Fremen-themed reservations/safari/theme-park where descendents of the Fremen reenact their ancestors' nomadic lifestyle. So might be a bit too meta.
Ha, more like a bunch of dirty nomads are used as tools to overthrow an oppressive resource monopolizing government only to enact an expansionist theocracy in its stead.
Why can't a rook move diagonally? Why is moving through water using your arms and legs one sport while using a paddle and a vessel made out of fiberglass as intermediaries a different sport? Personally I'm not really interested in spectator sports, but it seems to me that it's about traditions, superstitions, tribalism and generally pretty arbitrary sets of rules that combine to create enough challenge and drama for enough people to care about. I imagine Olympic sports have a long running (pun not intended) tradition of ancient Greek ideals of the perfect body and the like. It's probably also easier for a sports organization to endorse an element of the luck of being born with the right genes or the choice of training over having your body chemically or mechanically augmented as a barrier for entry.
Well, I'm guessing the final goal is not to sell RAM sticks separately but to integrate all the components they manufacture into one system-on-a-chip type thing as they're starting to do with CPU/GPU.
Why would that be their biggest weakness? They had manufacturing facilities, they spun them off into a different company and I'm sure they still have contracts in place to have first priority for their use. I find it hard to imagine whoever thought up splitting off GlobalFoundries from AMD did that on a whim and is now sitting in some office muttering "Oh shit, I accidentally the whole thing".
Sure, but more people will listen to him because he has more provable aptitude at getting BJs and since most people are not aware correlation != causation they might think that painting your roof white might increase your chances of getting a BJ.
This is about hating the culture the tool is part of. Back in around 2004 I was drafted to the army, as is the custom where I live and eventually ended up 'designing' powerpoint templates and presentations for the person in charge of instruction logistics at a certain instruction base. So I'm around 18-19 and on the sole merit that I've used a bit of Photoshop and don't realize how tacky glass and chrome filters are I'm doing these powerpoint presentations, putting a logo in the right place, rounded corners on this widget, boss says 'I want tanks with banners waving in the wind displaying the quarterly trainee numbers to the sound of fucking Conquest of Paradise' so I do that and they're impressed enough to send in some officer from another base to watch me work.
Then the whole staff of the base has to sit through this half-hour long presentation of budgets and sick days and trainee throughput and I have to mirror the presentation on another computer just in case something crashes.
So that's what this seems like it's about to me. Sure, someone can probably use the tool transparently or even inspire with it but the point for me is there's a culture of throwing shit I don't need to sit through in a slide show with bullet points and cheesy transition effects like George Lucas uses in his movies, and this should be opposed.
By the way, was released from service by a mental health officer several months later, apparently that specific position has a pretty high burnout rate.
I know what they did is wrong and all but what you wrote sounds like "Look what you did, you've angered the master, now he's sure to give us all a good whippin'"
Actually I was thinking it was some sort of universe-implodnig bomb set-up-us by Mecha Edison as a last ditch attempt at averting his defeat by Zombie Tesla.

Call me when you can display captions directly on the cat.
I mean without that whole messy staple-gun business.
Why, you think he'd have a problem with being told the same thing over and over again?

Not anymore, the appropriate term is 'African American'.

It seems the writer of the summary already used some to render your post redundant.

I'm assuming there was a large surge of hermaphrodites interested in computer science that year.
Why, did he feel excluded due to the use of a sans-sharif font?
Damn for a moment there I thought I missed the malthusian themed episode of Doug .

QED.
You're assuming that what they asked for is what they intended to happen.
I guess we won't be hearing from you for long then as Intel has a major development center in Israel and AMD is building one as well.

How about this analogy instead?
I'd like to cook a fancy dinner once in a while, should I study biomolecular chemistry?
It said 13 years since the first iteration.
Obviously there was a zeroth iteration before that.

Comment:
Instead of 10k in Cocaine package contained bobcat.
Would not buy again.

Unless you're planning to forgo pants for the flight all this will achieve is a slight offset to the center of mass.
I don't see what having the word 'Dead' in the name has to do with anything.
