I know the combatants have other things on their minds but you'd think an army would want to record things to improve itself. Also that footage could be used to vindicate yourself on the world stage.
Sad people modded this flamebait. Wizardry really blew me away. Before complex 3D graphics Wizardry 6 Bane of the Cosmic Forge was really really amazing. I loved the gameplay, not being much of a role player. You run through a dungeon killing just about everything finding scraps of paper and latches that open up objectives (or quests as you like).
Yea, you should definitely consider upgrading the OS on a phone and selling it to a friend if they say they need a new phone. Android is particularly good for this.
I have a personal rule, I buy a PC every 3x power improvement, with an occasional graphics update in between.
I'd love to improve my PC which has a E8600 (big brother of the very popular E8500, one of the fastest dual core processors), a AMD 4850 (512 MB ram, the biggest thing would be an improvement in bus bandwidth which has always distinguished high end hardware from mid range hardware, also while several cards have 4GB of memory it's generally quite slow) also my system can handle just about any game out there one pretty high settings. Got 2 gigs of low CAS memory, don't really feel like replacing it with higher bandwidth lower transition memory.
For HDs I have a 1TB Raid-0 and a 120 GB Raid-1 for secure storage. It might sound paranoid but I don't want SSD, I want my computer to be COMPLETELY idle when I'm not touching it. If the HD is making noise I know I have malware or a virus, or some other unwanted software... as systems get faster and faster it's going to get harder and harder to tell if something unwanted is in your system.
I have 2 1TB HD's sitting around ($30 each, craigslist) which are going to be my new HD or Storage, since I don't need the space I haven't bothered to install them).
Anyway there's just nothing out there that makes me need to upgrade my system in the next little while. I think this is a general problem encountered by many computing enthusiasts at this point.
Why do power supplies need 14 lines to my motherboard?
Only 6 for the various voltages.
As far as other posters. mentioning plugging in other devices... they'd have to have random current incoming. The only thing that would work is a UPS which only charges on intervals. Which is basically a laptop power supply...
As far as the neurologists shouldn't take them long to get to a point where they can keep up the treatments that the previous doctors were doing.
As far as admitting you need to use a team, but that's what the job's really about. If you have 1 neurologist left you're ok. If none you're screwed.
You can automate anyone out of a workforce if a single short term benefit goes the other way (in the case of trained medical personnel, lower wait times, for example) the question is whether the taxation system is flexible enough to deal with people having a 400 person company when they used to have a 10,000 person company. Should their taxes go up? How much?
Obviously every company dealing with information should be automating as much of that as possible. Most manufacturers should be asking their workers to research automated replacements. If they were trying to be competitive, and their workers could trust them.
If you can have a factory with no workers (mixing something then putting it in a bottle for example) you have perfect supply chain reliability, so there's less risk. For which a bank lending you money to expand would increase your credit. With that extra credit you could make a one time purchase of an automated factory.
So really it's circular, and since automated factories haven't been tasked with "producing as much as people might ever need" there's going to be a brief constricting period.
Hopefully with a cheerful rebound. As wealthy people realize their taxes make customers.
Pretty much, default install kept IE on top for years. Default no keyboard will be an issue for a lot of computer noobs. They'll learn to use a computer like a touch screen phone, and expect the same complexity.
I bet if small ISPs stood up for their clients they could increase their market share markedly. Whereas large ISPs will lose only a tiny fraction of their client base because their despicable bastards, due largely to the fact that their customers are with them because they don't know of the alternatives.
With the new laws about sharing infrastructure Teksavvy, Wind and Mobilicity have become viable ISPs in the cities. These companies have drastically improved options for cell phone service and people might transfer that loyalty to internet access.
My conversations with Bell and Rogers customers about switching have usually snagged on the issue of "bundles" which provide a significant discount over these companies a la carte service. However the bundles are still cheaper than getting the services separately if even one service is provided by a smaller supplier.
It's a bit like Monster cables, people think they're getting more by paying more.
Several of the ceo's of small internet companies have come out in protection of their clients. In particular I saw the CEO of Teksavvy explaining why he wanted to protect his clients from UBB and sniffing on MoneyLine. The host, a psychotic conservative greed proponent kept saying that the CEO should sell his customers down the river for more profits and the CEO kept grimly hanging on to his convictions.
In the meantime you should simply share your wireless.
And EVERYTHING was way overpriced. The excuse was always the same, small market.
Almost none of the devices were open source, and therefore had VERY limited support for languages. If you don't use one of the top 4 languages you are SOL.
The assumption is that most of the cost is absorbed by the state, and since technologies like this are increadibly vital people will want to spend a lot of money on them (think designer spectacle frames).
By far the sickest thing I found was a man named Kurzweil. His products are INCREDIBLY over priced, and these are products for the blind or with other disabilities. Where do these profits go? He spends millions and millions of dollars trying to extend his own life.
"Bottom line is that as long as we have people who say "I'm computer illiterate" and then laugh, then there is still work to be done to enable people to be successful in the world."
NO! I hate those people too! But we don't WANT to eliminate them, they're the people that brought us Windows Uber Alles. Government supervision of the web. Censorship. The iPad. The endless September. 100MB a month data plans. The teleco monopoly. Banner Ads. Online pharmaceuticals. Twitter. MySpace. Facebook. Terrified wikipedia editors. Console "multiplayer". Flash gaming. The new Slashdot layout. Some of the new/. contributions.
We should never have told them how useful computers are. Nerds everywhere were happier when those people used PHONES and TVs and left us alone. It's time we stopped the madness! Send the Luddites packing!
Email is surprisingly difficult to falsify. It SHOULD be backed up routinely. From an external standpoint you can fake one easily but if the precinct wanted to verify it they should have a bunch of PST diffs with verification easily at hand.
Keynsian economics works. It's meant to restore an economy to a functional state, not reduce the deficit (obviously).
What you're looking at in the U.S. is an unsustainable deficit AND a recession intersecting.
Trying to reduce the deficit will kill the economy dead. Trying to fix the economy will increase the deficit.
Personally I believe the problem the U.S. and Britain are facing is the same. Rich people hire smart people who make their money grow faster than that of poor people. Very quickly you end up with a situation where the very rich have almost all the wealth, resource rights (including frequency rights, media rights etc.) and the poor are forced to work for them because they can't go into manufacturing on their own.
The poor feel disenfranchised and if you're lucky you get Che Guevera or the French Revolution. If you're unlucky you get tyranny.
As far as the environment goes we need to get a lot better at recycling, one way to do this seems to be to move to 3D printers with reusable plastics for almost everything. We also need to reduce and re-use, which means government intervention in situations of planned obsolescence.
In terms of mitigating our effect on the environment we need to switch to environmentally friendly energy sources and reduce incoming solar radiation. Improving cloud cover seems like the best method at present but localized blocking of solar radiation using near Sun orbital mirrors is much more precise (think reducing solar radiation in deserts, over the icecaps, etc.).
We need to embrace the fact that we have robotic manufacturing, which reduces the need for workers. That means that we can urbanize heavily (which makes a small effect already and more in the future). It also means that wealth will be more concentrated than ever before and we need to alter taxation to take it into account.
If one man invented a machine that made autonomous Coke factories for example, he could literally make all the coke in the world. The government helped him by providing land to produce ingredients, infrastructure for his factories and consumers for his product. Don't think that those things, in particular the last one, aren't important. Laissez-faire capitalism makes less sense every day. By protracting it you simply make the eventual revolution more horrific.
Slashdot Mirror
Nietzsche writes that a country with an army is saying it distrusts it's neighbors.
I wonder who they distrust enough to even CONSIDER this?
Thanks for the post, I'd never heard of Carnivore before!

Better to nip this insanity in the bud, no?
Do the same!
Is that wealthy people can hire smart people to THINK for them.
This can easily be resolved by always working for more people than are doing the work. Virtue Q.E.D.

Airport taxes get higher. Freedom suffers.
If you could use your time off to live in Thailand for two weeks on $200 wouldn't you? Even if it took 22 hours to fly there?

This is part of what made physisits discount much of Einsteins work, they moved on to Hawkings and Feynman.
The big news is that they discovered a particle that makes it impossible that the Higg's Boson exists... so we're still totally clueless.
