  1. Re:Guess I need to fire my company's interns on Foxconn Says Vocational Students Aren't Being 'Forced' To Work · · Score: 1

    I bet the standards at that factory were a little different.

    Also those interns are working of their own free will, not like these chinese kids.

    Which chipset was it?

    I have been using nothing but intel, unless for gaming, for the past few years at least. These days their integrated stuff seems fairly competent for gaming too. I base that on running portal 2 on an integrated chipset.

    Isn't OpenGL ES a subset of the desktop version?

    Might be easier to work your way towards a totally conformant stack by hitting the low hanging fruit first.

    Only if you are not paying them, or forcing them to work in what westerners would consider unusual or dangerous conditions.

  5. Re:TIG is not harder then most welding processes on Augmented HDR Vision For Welders (And Others) · · Score: 1

    While not a professional welder, only amateur, I would want to suggest that working conditions and material can impact that general rule.

    Some stuff sucks to weld, no matter the technology used.

    Try reading the article.
    The bird was never going back into the wild again. The 3d printed beak has come off due to natural growth of the beak and is no longer being used. The animal is not starving to death now that some beak has grown back.

    How about the next time you are injured we put you out of your misery?

    I won't live for centuries, will you?

    I want to be able to eat fish today, fisherman want to be able to make a living today. The question was never will the sea recover, it was what is the economic cost of the spill. Also what is the short term cost to the local environment?

    Vmware/Xen/KVM run great for lots of people. Datacenters all over the world.

    Security is a consideration and works. Performance these days is not about CPU but IO and ram.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Many reasons?

    No, you keep the backups. You run another VM that they do not have access to, that you write these backups too. Better yet copy them back your home, but the option I propose works too.

    Anyone were you would be doing this too is not going to be able to/want to run backups.

    It is 2012 everyone is using some kind of virtualization. Linux servers are as such free. They are just another vm your fire up, and the biggest savings are not having to hassle with licensing.

    Run windows in a vm on her machine, automate snapshots and that way you can roll it back for her.

    Then what is the value of shares?

    If I buy a share from in company for $100, and I can't sell it since that will not raise money for your business, why would I ever buy it?

    Dividends are nice, but secondary markets add value to the primary market.

    You are going to need a citation for that.

    Shorting, or buying or any other market activity is based on you believing it is not a 50/50 case.

    Gambling is what the stock market is, we crossed that bridge long ago when dividends stopped being the norm.

    A lot of buyers could all collude to buy the same stock to drive the price up. Illegal collusion is illegal collusion.

    Do you have a citation that shorters tend to understand the market better?

    No one knows which way it will go, that is the whole point.

    Each side is basing their choice on what they think will happen. Unless someone breaks the law, a separate issue, it is as fair as any other deal.

    You can always sell things you don't have.

    Who will you be buying these low price stocks from, if you are no longer selling them?

    You think no one will notice that you now have to cover your sales? They will and they will raise the prices through the roof.

    Do you have any evidence that short sellers tend to be higher IQ folks?

    Why would I commit a crime when I just suspect the price is going down?

    If the price goes up, the lender makes more money by lending the stock. He gains the market value and the fee.

    There is no begging, this is a simple business deal.

    No different than many deals you make every time you buy something.

    Not fraud, the loaner is as much trying to take advantage as the short seller. I only meant that anyone who does not believe it will be to his advantage would not make that deal.

    Stock price does not make companies go bankrupt, this is a secondary market we are talking about. They might be bought up, but that would be the worst of it.
