Meesa most upset that my mooie mooie Gungan network engineering certification not gonna be good enough for a job in America. Meesa be thinking that I be back to working in Gungan call center taking orders for cheap shit coming soon.
I would love to see (literally) what happens if an American-born citizen wants to escape bad things in this good ol' USA and immigrates into India. What jobs could they find? How fast? How much pay? LOL
I can tell you right now that the release of MSO to the Droid is one of those nifty tactics to generate false failures, sortcomings, and unsafe situations that make people want to find a "more secure device" that "addresses these problems or never had them".
Funny how an ad of the latest MS tablet device will appear at just the right moment.
You say that as if Romney was any better in that regard. We all know that every president is going to support the military police state. But at least Obama isn't trying to destroy America with tax cuts so that a few billionaires can masturbate into an even larger pile of cash.
The first comment asked exactly what I'm wondering - what in the heck do you need a floodlight for?
Anyhow, it's easy to get rid of visible light pollution - infrared.
Less energy is used in the transformation to IR and it has a much greater reflectivity (and detectable heat signature).
All you have to do is purchase a little paid of IR bin/monocular device that powers on and off based on movement when you pick it up or put it down (eliminating the OMG HUGE CHORE of turning power on and off with a switch or push of a button).
You want to see what's outside lurking around? Instead of walking to the window and looking out at your light arrays, how about looking out with an IR device and even having it lit with that cheap, low-power light bulb replacement?
Wait, I forgot. It's "too much work" to even reach for a device to look through. Light pollution wins. </snark></serious>
The U.S. is also a greedy rich asshole-growing location where said rich own the businesses that provide Internet service - the whole idea is to take transport media that has so much bandwidth capability it makes your head spin and word it as if said media is SO CLOGGED (OMG OMG) that everyone has to pay tons of money for this RARE bandwidth.
G.R.E.E.D.
I'm shocked the placement number isn't increasing quarterly.
Perhaps if you include the amount paid to virus protection rackets (McAfee et al) it may just reach or exceed that $1 trillion...
Don't forget the fake antivirus software that has you remove antivirus software, only to pull malware in, encouraging purchase of fake anti-malware software, which pulls viruses onto your machine, which lands most non-experts into a tech shop, where antivirus software is installed.
Imagine Microsoft pricing the Surface at a mere pittance, say $50 or $75 — even in this era of cheaper tablets, the devices would fly off the shelves so fast, the sales rate would make the iPad look like the Zune.
Someone poisoning the water again? Great... They saw Google release for cheap/free... must copy process. Like Microsoft ALWAYS does. Too late.
.. smash two stars together, close enough to the earth to collect all of the gold.. GOLD!!!
Well, then it isn't that rare anymore and the value would go down.
We need to prevent the collision of neutron stars -AND- prevent supernovae. Now that would be a value no one can refuse. Well, until everyone's been shot in the natural course of theft but that's beside the point./snark:)
You can come here and take our money and others' jobs just as long as you've giving us tax money, but you just plain can't live here. No hard feelings.
You should really avoid taking meth before commenting on slashdot. It results in comments like this one.
Methamphetamines cause servers to belch errors while someone is reading/., assisting said person in misreading the article? Wow, where do I get my hands on some of that meth??
Feeling a little down today, Jeff? Gotta, you know, put someone down and call them names like a child to feel better? I bet you're doing just fine now. I'm glad I could be a sounding board for you.
Wow, I bet you really love talking down to other people, Mr. Superior. Your lack of self worth is really better used elsewhere rather than just biting people online. Or is it? What am I to say? I'm just an idiot.
Speaking of idiots... Don't idiots go to websites that they hear or read are being blocked by the military, you know, just for the hell of it? I think they do! Thanks for taking care of that part for me. Now I know I misread the article because I was a little distracted by a server event at work.
Cheers, Cedric the entertainer of the enlightened.:)
The ARMY (the fucking ARMY) can control access to the INTERNET on ARMY computers. Because they live behind an ARMY firewall. Hell, some of them even live behind other DoD firewalls.
Can't do a damn thing to control the overall INTERNET, shy of nuking from orbit (EMP would be spectacular.)
Whoa. Whawha? Where in the article did I miss that they are blocking access to the Guardian only for military personnel? I really must have glazed eyes if I missed that.
I don't live in Japan, but I don't understand how the use of money can be justified for Cute Japanese Robots || Launched Into Space, over "taking care of your fucking citizens who in certain areas have huge energy issues, and in others have earthquake and flooding issues."
Chicken and egg - who came up with the stupid spending plan first? U.S. or Japan?
I just read this article again and realized that I overlooked the fact that THE MILITARY CAN CONTROL WEB ACCESS.
I'm not sure which is more uncomfortable - 1. the fact that the ARMY (the fucking ARMY) can control the INTERNET as they see fit, or 2. the fact that I read it and just soft of overlooked it as being a problem due to the flood of control issues since the early 2000s.

The H1B wars... begun they have...
Is this 1997?
Incorrect. They choose cheaper labor over more expensive labor. This is Business 101. No court in the land would rule for Plaintiff.
And if the more expensive labor offered to work for less money? Then what?
There's a difference between a "spin-off" and an "invention".
One name: Stephen Hawking.
OMG, my Canon ImageRunners are doing the same thing! It must be a virus!
I'd better write up a research document on this and request some grant money.

I'm not joking.
This raises another question. What happens when these people refuse to answer questions or allow a search of their home?
- Then you are viewed as a "clear 100% terrorist delaying so your buds can escape the area with whatever devices they managed to finish."
- Those who talk too much have to be kept in detention for a long period of time to hide the fact that a mistake was made.
- Those who speak only the facts are viewed as staged and must be interrogated more "deeply."
Anyhow, things like this are made publicly known to instill FUD.
You say that as if Romney was any better in that regard. We all know that every president is going to support the military police state. But at least Obama isn't trying to destroy America with tax cuts so that a few billionaires can masturbate into an even larger pile of cash.

Distraction.
Domestic NSA spying is now cut off! Yaay!
(while at the same time, another government agency is hush-hush granted 10 times the cut amount for more quiet domestic spying)
There's nothing special about this course, other than it's being done to white/blue collar workers instead of raw military recruits at boot camp.
No kidding. I was wondering about the comments until now. :)

....and Bus tours of the abandoned city and abandoned buildings will start at $200/person. Profit's gon' be had!!!
You can come here and take our money and others' jobs just as long as you've giving us tax money, but you just plain can't live here. No hard feelings.
And it does nothing. And everything. It defines what you want it to do; technically it's already done it.
I'll pay $903,845,908,435 for one!

Conundrum.
Windows 10 is flopping. Surface is too expensive. MS Bob didn't turn out so well.
This will sell to the tune of billions. Fer Sher.

Using a "hybrid" model that incorporated data from other users, after 10 days 72 per cent accuracy could be achieved.
So I'm reading this as "The new mood detection system is about as accurate as the Human 'reading of minds' or search engine optimization."
