Musicians make money by playing venues. If they get ROI from recordings they are doing well. If they make chump change on mechanical recordings, then that is a bonus. The starving artists are the ones who are not playing live.
I had a friend who could routinely make $100 an hour playing on the street. Not massive cash, but for a kid of 18, better than flipping burgers.
The issue is when you mix genetic lines. You effectively have two traits. Roundup ready and Terminator. If I plant a bunch of normal seeds plus a bunch of Monsanto Specials, then for any given seed they may or may not be infertile and may or may not be Roundup ready. So harvesting the crop, and saving the seed, half of the next years crop will not grow as they are infertile, Half of what is left will be roundup ready. Year three, All seeds grow, 50% roundup ready. Now if I use Roundup on the crop to reduce weeds, then I kill off all non Monsanto crops and are left with fertile seeds that are roundup ready.
Now what happens if back in year 1 All I do is plant normal seeds in my paddock next to your Monsanto special crop? Cross pollination does the job, but Monsanto never had an agreement with me...
The other thing is grunt. People don't see the need.
When I buy a device it is to do a range of tasks. I need a portable device to check Email, poke at websites, do some text editing, read books, play music, movies and the odd casual game. Nothing in this list is particularly arduous for most devices. In my static devices I will use them to Edit video, run multimedia libraries, typeset documents, and play more immersive games.
An ultrabook has the CPU and graphics power to achieve the results for all my tasks, but lacks screen size and human interface devices. I am therefore better off with two devices. I am probably not alone with my list of requirements.
Private Industry has the goal of making money. So the most efficient way of making money will be pursued. This is typically by gaining a monopoly for a sought after service and charging as much as you can for it.
Governments have the option of changing their goals. For instance. Maybe a goal could be Healthy People. If that is your goal, then you use what resources are at your disposal to achieve that. Education, prevention, and therapy are available. Work out what gives you the most bang for available resources, and you wind up with more Healthy People.
So now Government has an option of rolling out their own network. Governments goals can now be Connected Population. They can spend more money for More and Better connection rather than Happy Shareholders.
He supplied incorrect details to the system, therefore there is wire fraud. There may just be plain fraud of impersonating someone to create the account in the first place. He deprived the owner of bandwidth to the server. (true not much and they weren't using it anyway) Denial of Service.
As it happens, I work for a government department, my boss is an aspie (Asperger syndrome), I am a borderline aspie. On the whole, we get the job done. 20-25 hours a week may be a killer. The public service tend to want full time employees. However, if you can deal with the 40 hours for a year, you might be able to do some job sharing stuff.
I shall now stop wasting your tax dollar and get back to work.
Doctors frequently consult other doctors. This is so they make less mistakes. Think of the cloud option as a way of consulting with a "BigAssLibraryOfBreathingSounds" that have been filtered by experts in lung disease. Now the doctor still makes the final call (incidentally it's their insurance) but now they get the help of consultants around the world.
The problem is not electricity or petrol. The problem is something capable of rotating an air compressor with sufficient torque. A windmill could do it... A steam engine could do it... a man in a treadmill could do it...
If it is mission critical, buy two. Instructions read "Hit record on both devices" "Hit stop on both devices." Mission critical usually means you have a budget of more than $200.
How long is now? Is now the shortest measurable time? Is it the time taken to have one thought? Is it 5 minutes? or is it Back in the day nobody carried calculators with them, but Now everybody has one built into their mobile phone.
I would suggest that the ability to preserve culture, will allow researchers to remember ideas who's ideas were not ready for their lifetime, and allow people to use them in the future. See Newton, Babbage, Boole, Mandelbrot and others too numerous to mention.
I am the family geek and have found the best way of dealing with this is to organize a time to visit. Hop in car and stare at the problem in person. Set up access levels. (You don't get to be admin all the time there Mum) Set up schedules.(Leave your computer on overnight on Sunday night so the little maintenance men can do their work) Setup backups. (Where is that USB hard drive you got with this?)
If people get into problems, and they need service right away, tell them to drop the computer off at the local computer store. If it's important enough to need to happen now, then it's important enough to pay for the privilege.
Remote tools are handy for intranets (As I type I am using 2 different types). They are a security risk for internets.
What matters is that Fidler's mock up hits so many of the characteristics from Apple's design patent thus eliminating them from being claimed, because now they are "obvious". This leaves Apple with Losenge shaped speaker holes. (similar to an old Kenwood car speaker I had back in the day) and a shiny apple logo. (Samsung surprisingly left this feature off their product.)
Now the jury might be affected by the "JobsRealityWarpField" (TM) But Apple have some real arguing to do to get this patent over the line.
Bell goes. All trades are placed in a 1 minute queue. At the end of that minute, a new queue is formed, and all the trades for the first minute are confirmed. HFT disappears as you can only do business once every minute, and you don't get to see what your competitors have done for that minute. The downside of this is that the financial sector will insist on more transparency... but not too much... Wait, we didn't mean you could look at our dirty laundry...
Alternately, Samsung will win, and Apple will appeal based on.... something lawyerly that I don't understand. and both Apple and Samsung get their names in the headlines for a good long while.
Bonus points from Samsung if they can prevent the release of the iPhone 5 in the USA.
1. Recompiling a kernel and working in a company make you highly qualified in political and moral philosophy.
Yes. I have a low tolerance to Truthiness. If a device is not giving consistent results, it is flawed. If a program is giving inconsistent results, it is buggy. If a person is saying inconsistent things, they are liars. An IT background has forced this world view. Others will be less fault tolerant of people.
2. The current corporatist system we have is flawed. Because corporatism is flawed, some other thing that isn't corporatism is "broken"?
No. There may not be an "Unbroken System". But we should be filtering for flaws and implementing ways of removing flaws as quickly as possible. Something corporate lobbyists seem to be opposed to.
I don't care about my soon to be boss at this point. If they had asked when I started sending my resume out, then there would have been a different conversation.
Checked for bad spelling in sig. Does not parse as BASIC, sorry. Parses as English.
Good point. If my manager and their manager are not in the Exit interview, then odds are they are not taking the process seriously. Take it as a chance to do some origami, or basket weaving, or planning a holiday to somewhere nice. When the HR officer asks you questions, reply with "Who reads this?" "If nothing is going to happen, then let's use this as a chance to grab a coffee."
Odds are your peculiar behavior will get you locked out of the building. Think of it as free vacation time.
The problem is that, if a corporation does not obey the laws of the land, there is no convenient way of giving the corporation a "Time Out to think about what they have done." People are easy to train that way.
If companies were delisted people would be unable to buy and sell shares and therefor be stuck with the bad shares. The company then has to serve time by donating all profits for the next 5 years to "The public good". Now we have a system of crime and punishment that can deal with corporations in a way that corporations can understand. Nobody loses their job as the corporation can continue operating.
People would only invest in ethical companies on the grounds that unethical ones will not turn a profit.

Yes you can Diff word docs. Press F1 and smear in "compare documents".
And thus the nail is squarely struck.

Youtube Provides a Service on the Internet. So yes they are an Internet Service Provider. Just not as you are used to using the term.

Fixed that for me. Next time I'll spend more time reading back.
