Good news is that the consumable components will be available at office stores nationwide, bad news is that a full set of consumables will cost exactly the same as the printer.
Open Source software has a tradition of ending up this way, especially when it's a program that needs custom hardware. (See also: Asterisk) First there's a surge in competitive hardware providers... then one of the hardware providers merges with the software provider and they then become the only hardware maker left. Doesn't require that you be the #1 vendor coming in, that follows once you become the official one.
DRM has already failed... the vendor-lock-in situations with iTunes and PlaysForSure and lack of compatibility with MP3-only devices brought it down. Now, almost all music stores are Watermarked MP3... you can copy it on your own devices all you want, you just can't offer it to others without your watermark that can be traced back to you being spread.
SOPA's an overreaching law, but the The Pirate Bay is one of the main reasons to justify international Internet black holes. SOPA could be called "IDMCA" with the "I" standing for International. It takes the same down-the-server approach as the original law, and the media industry has been successful in getting DMCA-like counterparts passed.
There's a lot wrong with SOPA, but something needs to be done to get rid of TPB.... they're a group of outlaws that has to be stopped.
This is a very simple yet powerful concept. Get processors that only do what they need to do, and there's no wasted space or power on the things you don't do.
An Iphone app called Trapster goes beyond just speed traps to cover other sorts of police activity that may cause closed roads and delay. Could archives of this data set up similar "bad area" avoidances?
I'll never forget my first programming job working for Fluent Technologies. Nice people who were amazed how much of VB6 I already knew, and helped me fill out my range with that technology.
CTY's qualifier is an invite to take the SAT in the 8th grade... a score that is reported to you but hidden from colleges when you send scores later on in high school. It served as an excellent practice and I learned what I needed to learn about before I started high school. The Princeton Review books also serve as good info for that.
I may seem familiar because I've been wring on off and on Slashdot since 2000. More time to post here when I'm unemployed, I'm around here less when I have a job to do.
Space Camp is run by an Alabama group... they have a collection of space-related simulators and movie theaters and such... but NASA doesn't provide any help.
Programmers don't get together to work much anymore. Most open source products are done by teams that work from home and communicate online. Camps are about outdoors life that most programmers don't care about or even like. Spend the money on getting your kid a multi-monitor set and a desk big enough to hold it all. If they want to program the Microsoft way, get them MSDN. If they want to program with an open language, get a better Internet connection and let the downloading begin. Provide them some money to spend with local friends, and let them select an open source project that they're interested in.
Programmer training is way overpriced, it's much easier to learn by reading help documentation like php,net for PHP or MSDN for Microsoft tools. Don't waste the money, let them learn how to work from home.
Bloomberg LP even at one time claimed to own 2-screen setups. These days, there's not much on the Bloomberg Terminal platform that isn't available over the web from them or other sources.
Common in the 60s: Punch cards, text only dumb terminals, mainframes... Common Now: Online storage, visual designers, client/server setups....
If your knowledge of computers ends in the 60s. there's a lot of updating to be done. Mayor Bloomberg has the right idea... every 10 years or so it's time to retrain to the current tools.
1. Do enough bad things that people in your country start adding their word for "crook" to searches with your trademark 2. Sue Google instead of fixing your reputation problem 3. ????? 4. Profit!
It's not "fair use" as much as it's "allowed use" by the ToS... RSS that lands in your mail client is perfectly fine, but to use that article on a website is not usually allowed. Slashdot doesn't spider for the RSS that lands in the Firehose section, it's from providers who agree Slashdot is promotional enough for them to be there.
For two factor authentication it's something you know (password) and something you have (the power cord) if both are required to use the computer. Letting one without the other log in seems less secure.

We have to take ten points a day off your score for releasing your findings five years late. Good luck keeping your GPA up.
We have yet another winner of the Late Lameo award. You're such a lameo,

Typical /. response to blackouts such as the one that always occurs on April 1.
Slashdot NewsTime is a few minutes after 6:00pm EST.... the protest appears to have gone as planned and they now return us to our regular Slashdot.

ViaSat is actually linking their Via-1 Sartelite with WildBlue so customers of that service should get the better value as soon as this goes live.

See the above post. NASA has nothing to do with Space Camp.

Google does issue punitive downgrades when they want to... they did it themselves to Chrome a few days ago for dealing with a link spam vendor.
For profit insurance companies always lose in comparison to mutual companies.That profit margin has got to come from somewhere.
