Perhaps he was the most damaging to what the US thought were its best interests at the time. But by sharing those secrets the US lost the option of using the a-bomb again. Maybe a Cold War was better than the alternative
Early tractors had the power take-off geared directly to the final drive. So if you were using a big rotating implement like a mower which was driven by the PTO you needed to be very careful when you got to the end of the field because the mower had so much energy you had no chance of stopping the tractor with the brakes.
To get over that they added a coupler that would let the machine freewheel. I've been on a tractor without that coupler and it's pretty scary. Not stop and go, just go and keep going.
From what I read in the emails referenced in TFA, the agreements only extended to managers and executives, not individual contributors like engineers and food workers. Of course there are managers who are H-1B, but I doubt many of them are complaining about their salary.
Collusion between the companies to not recruit from each other, which is apparently illegal (since the DOJ stepped in).
No solicit agreement with employees. That's part of a contract, I'll hire you but you have to agree that you won't refer my other employees to the headhunter who placed you. That's pretty standard and presumably is legal.
Nope. Unions have been trying to organize tech workers everywhere for decades without success. Getting 300 people at this meeting (with no word on how many were actually tech workers and how many were shills) is nothing.
Your snark aside, most likely it means doing the kids' homework rather then offering advice. Science Fair projects, term papers, college application essays.
Because after 911 most of the criticism was that various agencies knew parts of the puzzle but weren't sharing that information. The pendulum has swung the other way, perhaps too far. It will swing back again until another few thousand people are killed, again.
It's not ancient, although I agree that it isn't especially relevant since it has more to do with federal versus state authority. It would have been very relevant to all the/. articles claiming Bush didn't deploy federal assistance to Louisiana quickly enough after Katrina though - because this law is exactly why he had to wait.
ATMs are such a key part of their business that it really makes no sense for them to not be in total control.
Linux allows that.
Banks aren't in the business of manufacturing ATM machines, they buy them.
It makes perfect sense for ATM vendors to partner with Microsoft for the OS. They really don't want to be in the business of writing an operating system when they can buy one off the shelf.
The only real issue is that an ATM is pretty expensive; they're designed to have a useful life of about ten years. Banks don't want to scrap probably hundreds of millions' of dollars worth of good working equipment, so they lean on Microsoft to continue support. Microsoft leans back by increasing the price of support until the balance tips in favor of replacing the machines anyway.
If you were doing calculus, you'd know exactly where the ball was going as soon as you saw it moving and you could simply put your hand in the right place and wait for the ball to arrive.
Really good outfielders can do that. Willie Mays would turn around and run straight to the spot where the ball would come down without watching it - as soon as it left the bat.
Backers were unhappy with the method via which Warner chose to release Veronica Mars to financial supporters. Rather than receiving a digital download or a code to access the film on iTunes or Amazon, they were asked to stream Veronica Mars via the studio-backed, cloud-based storage service Ultraviolet on the Flixster website
That sure sounds like receiving a "digital version" of the film to me.
Fast tracking higher potential students is common pretty much everywhere except the US. Here we "foster understanding and tolerance" by mainstreaming students with special needs. We also ensure the average SAT score is below that of countries that limit who can take it to their top students.
The problem with that approach is is assumes a rational person is in control of the aircraft. A pilot or hijacker who has decided to commit suicide by flying off to a remote corner of the Indian Ocean isn't stealing the plane. The most likely cause was one of the pilots going insane, it's happened before.
Bush was one of the well connected rich people others went to Yale and Harvard to meet, same as the Kennedys and John Kerry; except Bush did better in school.
My second semester database class consisted of just these four assignments: 1) Create a Database, 2) Create a Table, 3) Create Foreign Key Relationships, 4) Load Data into the Tables, 5) Create a Report.
Apparently they didn't require very good counting skills either.

Just look it up
A George Soros employee is a Republican? Not likely. You must have meant Stupid Democrats.
Corporations don't devise trading algorithms either, people do.

Is this different from how Sun tried to become the defacto standard UNIX? I never cared much for their tactics, eventually they burned out too.

The article mixes two things:

The Act, as modified in 1981...

Seemed like a good idea 13 years ago. ATM is a client application after all.
NASA == Military. You can't separate them, just shuffle money around to hide actual costs.
Yea, he swiped it.
Planned obsolescence. They expect you to replace the phone in two years anyway.
I can see how this would be useful for everyday photography. Reducing atmospheric interference like haze and mirage, etc. Pretty cool technology.

UK Government Wants "Unsavory" Web Content To Be Removed
The UK minister for immigration and security, James Brokenshire has called for the government to do more...
One bureaucrat suggesting the government should do more to flag YouTube videos is not the same as the UK Government wanting to actually do it.
