And just what exactly does the government have to give? Have you looked at the budgets lately? You speak as if "the government" is some sort of magical entity that has unlimited resources that appear out of thin air. Or are you volunteering to have your taxes raised? Again?
And the ordinary grocery is as cheap as it gets. Try comparing nutrition contents between generics and the name-brand sometime. It's amazing how different they can be.
The problem is that a netbook interface is pretty much identical to a normal PCs interface, so Windows works "good enough" and is more familiar to most users. The traditional Windows paradigm does NOT work well in a touch-only, tablet interface. If they insist on using it, they will fail. It doesn't matter how much money they throw at it... look at the Zune.
If you can build and operate 10 100MW solar plants, you're taking up more than an order of magnitude more land area than a nuclear plant, as well as having significant geographic restrictions on locations of the plants.
If you want to make sure you do hit the ear, make one "side" of the rubber band tighter than the other when you shoot it. It makes it spin in flight and stabilizes it's trajectory. I can nail a fly from 10' with the right technique;)
They hang plates of metal off the wires where I'm from. Otherwise ice would freeze on the lines and pull them down, the plates make sure the wires move in the wind and break the ice off. It's doable, and not a completely insane idea.
The oil has stopped. Great. The problem is what caused the leak in the first place. If somebody is driving drunk and causes a massive accident, and then saves someone from it they deserve accolades for the saving, but they were still driving drunk.
BP, through it's incompetence and unwillingness to adhere to proper safety protocol and play it fast and loose caused the fucking spill in the first place. Why should they be patted on the back for cleaning up their own mess? They should be telling us why this shit ain't gonna happen again, and the only things I've seen them doing other than stopping the leak is lie and twist things in their communication to the public, and otherwise carry on business as usual.
You have nationwide coverage with US Cellular? They're called "regional" carriers for a reason. They only exist in your region. They are not a choice for the large majority of people.
Aye. I wish I could have stayed with T-Mobile, but with my job change they weren't on the approved business suppliers. They have by far the best customer service of any mobile provider, and they just kept improving coverage as far as I could tell. I was on a mailing list where they'd tell me about the new towers in the area as they'd go up.
I don't give a shit who owns it. BP is responsible for about 8.5% of the total oil refined in the US, but in doing that they're responsible for some 97% of the egregious safety violations. Who they're owned by is immaterial. They are by FAR the worst oil company for Americans to work at as far as personal safety is concerned. And this ongoing loose association with the truth makes me wonder if they are actually going to change anything, or if they're just trying their damndest to clean this shit up so they can get back to trying to kill workers quietly.
In itself it is not a scandal. But taken as an indication of the behavior of the company, along with all the other stuff that has been released and leaked, it's just another indication that they still don't fucking get it. They screwed up, and they still haven't materially changed ANYTHING that indicates that they are fixing what CAUSED the issue, instead of just the issue at hand. Sure, they have an oil spill they're cleaning up. But this ongoing loose association with the truth proves that they haven't done anything substantial.
Because the resolution is high enough now. 4K is beyond what most people can even comprehend. I mean, at a "normal" viewing distance and FullHD resolution I can't make out individual pixels on my 61" display, which is larger than most common 1080p TV's by 10-15". Cramming even more pixels in won't help anyone. Just like with processors... we've hit a wall, so we start expanding in another dimension. Can't crank up the frequency, let's add more cores. Can't reasonably increase the resolution any more, let's increase the depth.
He's not saying that all of China is illiterate or anything like that. He's just saying that the US has a 99% literacy rate, and China is at about 93.3%, and those factory jobs aren't always staffed by the highest-educated people, just like here in the US. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just the way things are.
Why fold their changes back? As long as the code is released GPL, it's a waste of their time to try to go "backards" with their updates to the code. Let the snort guys do that if they want to.
If it's an IFR or other sanely designed reactor... why? The fuel in those isn't going to be converted into weapons easily, it should need no more security than a coal or any other electrical plant
Just because we're currently coasting on previous developments and impetus doesn't mean that the current legal system isn't stifling the next generation.

Yes. I prioritize being able to afford decent housing for my children over spending all day with them sleeping in a cardboard box.

It unloaded, landed and drove around by itself? Amazing!

The Lunar Rover had a person there to kick it if the mechanism jammed.
Ehhh... the iPhone OS is a derivative of OSX in many senses: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2007/07/13/iphone-os-x-architecture-the-mach-kernel-and-ram/
I'm not saying Microsoft has a chance in hell at succeeding, but it could very much be a Win7 derivative and still be nothing like Win7.

...I can get a 50' HDMI cable for $30 US. How is that expensive? You pay any more and it most certainly is markup and gouging

I think you're just jealous that you didn't think of it first

You found the proper Wikipedia page... why couldn't you spell it right in your first sentence? How does that happen?

How about a slightly newer article: http://www.newsweek.com/2010/06/08/new-report-reveals-bp-s-long-history-of-safety-problems.html
I realize you're probably on BP's payroll, but seriously, get your head out of your ass.

It's become a generic. Kinda like a kleenex. If Photoshop weren't so popular and such an iconic name, the terminology wouldn't exist.
