And it will stifle innovation? Oh yeah, just like internet innovation was severely stifled as most of the pay-per-bit billing schemes fell over the last 10 years
Hmm... I've made my own sausage many times and have never used pig intestines as part of the stuffing (the part that needs to be ground). The intestines are used for the casing, if at all.
Is this really a news story? Someone without an appointment tries to seek a personal audience with a world leader and is denied? That's not anti-DRM, it's just common sense.
Zealotry and common sense are not mutually exclusive, though they often do not seem to coexist.
About as fast as 2 passes through the metal detector (pass 1: beeeeeep... remove belt... pass 2: OK). The last time I went through Frankfurt travelling internationally everybody's laptop got the swab for explosives. Took about 30 mins to get through the line.
In terms of users who regularly use the service, Microsoft has almost an order of magnitude more users of Hotmail than Gmail has.... Somethign like 47 million vs 5 million (note: this is users who use the service on a regular basis, not total subscribers)
The only way 30 people could disappear overnight is if that hiring manager is a corporate officer. Speaking as one who has been in the "hiring manager" role in Silicon Valley for quite some time, it's pretty hard to get rid of people, even poor performers. Yes, California is an at-will state. California's courts, however, have proven to be very pro-employee. So, firing somebody in California usually requires lots of documentation.
I'll fly close to 200k miles this year. I meant sigh.
Flying in first isn't hoing to solve anything and NR headphones are much better at regular, low frequency sounds than they are at voice. Also, they get a little tedious to wear for 10+ hours or while trying to sleep.
Check out a frequent flyer web site like flyertalk.com and see what regular travelers think of phones on planes. The sentiment is very much against them, probably over 90%. Yeah, if you travel 1-2x a year, it no skin off your nose. It's a different story when it's more like 10-20 hrs/week.
about engineering disasters, "To Engineer Is Humnan: The Role of Failure in Successful Design". It's worth picking up a copy from amazon/abebooks/etc...
Amazon.com The moral of this book is that behind every great engineering success is a trail of often ignored (but frequently spectacular) engineering failures. Petroski covers many of the best known examples of well-intentioned but ultimately failed design in action -- the galloping Tacoma Narrows Bridge (which you've probably seen tossing cars willy-nilly in the famous black-and-white footage), the collapse of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel walkways -- and many lesser known but equally informative examples. The line of reasoning Petroski develops in this book were later formalized into his quasi-Darwinian model of technological evolution in The Evolution of Useful Things, but this book is arguably the more illuminating -- and defintely the more enjoyable -- of these two titles. Highly recommended.
Is the value of your data that cheap? If so, hdd's may be just the thing for you. The three variables in play are for data backup & restore are: Fast, Reliable & Cheap. Pick any two.

Were you there? Did you see the bill?
Because the word lunch appears in the article 3 times and the word expensive (or its synonyms) don't modify it in any of those appearances.
I'm all for outing questionable behavior, but let's not embellish.

We're here to tell you that the reports of the 3D Web are greatly exaggerated.
You just happen to have the same polarity they do

You mean all the ranting and raving about this "needing ID to fly" has been meaningless?
:)
Well, I say welcome... it's been meaningless to me for a while.
It should read "Google committed to Chinese Revenue"
When I read this, I pictured SCO as a bratty 5 yr-old throwing a tantrum, jumping up and down, screaming, "Mine! Mine! Mine!"

Sure just help me migrate ths boatload of macros (aka VB) over. What? You can't!

It's been predicted for decades, whenever the latest new/big even comes along.

I know the TGV in France has special cars for cell phones.

we'll get a bunch of idiots blathering over VOIP.

Great!
One of the last bastions of not having to listen to idiots shout their personal business gone.
Sigh.

Um, wasn't the internet (as well as numerous other advances in digital technology) spawned by the military-industrial complex?
