So what you see instead are people leaving Microsoft to start entirely new ventures.
...Only to have those companies get bought back into the Microsoft juggernaut as 'innovative acquisitions'.
I think Google has it right... give the employees a percentage of thier work time to work on personal projects. Retain your employees, increase job satisfaction, and save money on a corporate scale by not having to buy back the intellectual potential with a corporate purchase.
I certainly hope, that as dedicated employees that desire to be responsive, that you also get some sort of monetary remuneration for your faithfulness.
Continued employment should never be considered compensation.
If there is some concern about the actual native speed and represented speed of a chip in a new computer, run the Intel CPUID utility. It will give you the current speed and expected speed of a CPU in question. If there is some sort of anomaly, they buyer should call the vendor on it...
If I want to spend my hard earned money to purchase a CPU that I wish to overclock and eke out a modest performance increase, then I should be able to OC it without marketing intervention.
If I chose to void my warranty by overclocking my CPU, then that too is my choice. Rather than limiting the speed of the CPU, why not put a one-time flashable register in the CPU that is set when a CPU is run above its intended speed for X amount of time, thus proving that a warranty is void.
By putting a frequency/speed limiter into a CPUs construction, Intel could then make generically speedy CPU and throttle it back and offer a 'value' CPU, and subsequently inflate the cost of less throttled CPUs. Remember back to the 486DX/SX days where they disabled the math co-processor in a 486DX and sold them as 'value' 486SX processors?
They have similar devices already. Usually they are attached to the ankles of Inmates who are under house confinement.
You want your children to grow up in fear, strap one of these phones to them and teach your children to be afraid of the consequences of deviating from the defined path.
Why not proactively teach them the right way to conduct themselves through positive reinforcement rather than by making them paranoid?
That works fine if you are talking about floating ice. Much of the ice in the world that is melting now, isn't floating, it is land based, which flows to the oceans.
If enough of this water flows into oceanic basins, the oceanic water level is going to rise.
How about continuing the poll to see how many people that changed the password to "secret" or "god" or *gasp* left it blank.
I bet that is where you will find the 9.5% of the remaining 10% who did change the password.

16MP ought to be enough for anyone...
... actually picking up the telephone and actually calling your financial institution/online vendor directly to confirm a problem with your account?
If the company was worth its salt, they will have a telephone number for you to reach them in the event of a problem or suspicious activity.

I'm curious to know what the primary requirements are in order to qualify a location as a FAA approved spaceport. Can anyone provide some insight?
These aren't the spoilers you are looking for...
