And then, of course, there is still the occasional runaway app, which is difficult to impossible to properly identify, save by a temp spike of the phone or tablet, necessitating at least quitting of all apps, or shutting down and restarting the system.

And we have tried the other side... the Trickle Down shit and ended up with Kansas. And deregulation gave us the meltdown in 2006-2008.
What we have to do is combine the two. Something in the middle, somewhat planned: retaining benefits for entrepreneurs, and making sure that everyone has some sort of health coverage (no, not simple access).

And also for the record, the materiel isn't gone. It has been moved back into the Universities network, and is available to students and faculty, so not completely lost.

>Sure there is, embodied as UCC 2-314 [https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2/2-314]: courts may imply a Warranty of merchantability when (1) the seller is the merchant of such goods, and (2) the buyer uses the goods for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold. Thus, a buyer can sue a seller for breaching the implied warranty by selling goods unfit for their ordinary purpose.
The problem that I see with this argument is that the PC came with Windows installed, and it is known to run under the included operating system. Thus it can be argued that the Ordinary Purposes is to run Windows to complete tasks that the user wants to complete. Installing another OS seems to fall outside that, even is said OS is known to run properly on the device.
Your second argument might hold water if the buyer specifically asked if Linux would run on the computer, and the answer was an affirmative.
OK, slight background. Basic applied physics knowledge from 20+ years ago.
How does this qualify as teleportation if you have an optical particle, and a optical transport medium? Isn't this the photon hitting the surface of the fiberoptic transport medium, changing state to an optical waveform, traveling along the transport to the endpoint, exiting and changing state again, and then being detected as a photon?
Also somewhat confusing as photon's have no mass.
If this had been a neutron, or some other actual subatomic particle with mass, then I could certainly conceptualize it as teleportation. Couldn't this simply be the researchers finding a "sweet spot" in "transmission frequency" for said optical fiber to allow transmission nearer theoretical maximum (i.e. the speed of light). Have they tried the same experiment on a different optical fiber from a different vendor and achieved the same results?
Decline!
Tablet market as a whole is down. Most people only use them for consumption, inside their home or office. Even the plastic crap that a lot of the Android vendors are peddling will last a while with that usage model, so when you start talking about well built tablets like the iPad or TabS, the damn things should last forever barring breakage or too many charge/discharge cycles. The one that comes to mind that will probably break this is the SurfacePro, because it is a full windows machine and MS is trying to make it straddle the laptop and tablet worlds, hence more needed upgrades... presumably.

Took no chances?? Thats not the movie that I saw.
As for "retro"... it had much the same tone as the original movies, without dismissing anything (at least that I saw) from the prequels. And I fail to see how space flight with artificial gravity, blasters, world size battle stations, and FTL would fit into retro.
"...A company that actively works to offer all employees the chance to learn and to engage with modern technologies is a company that good people are going to work for, and to stay at."
So, what this guy is saying is that Programming is not a Family Friendly occupation, and that companies that hire lots of programmers think that being Family Friendly is a liability? Extremely short sighted.
So, is this essentially a slightly re-designed Jupiter craft from the Direct v.3 team? As I understand it this was the main opposition program to ARES.

We've heard from Down Under, and the Misty Isle, along with us uniformed Americans. Is there anyone here from Japan? Isn't Japan almost 90% Nuclear?
Here on the West Coast of America, I have never heard about a major Nuclear accident in Japan. And there records go back to the 70s
And New Tech seems to have shrunk useful reactors down to relatively teeny proportions. Wasn't there an article on here a few months ago about a new small reactor --->
You might wish to go back and check the per page cost again. Most analysis today state 2-3 cents/page for black and 12-15 for colour on a laser. Double that for an inkjet.
In the UNIX world, and especially in the Scientific realm where code has to work on different machines with different architectures, Intel compilers are generally NOT used.
Why?
Intel complilers cost $$, and only work on Intel architecture. On the other hand, the compilers that come in UNIX/LINUX distros (GCC) are free, and are generally availible in both general and architecture optimized versions. This makes code portability much more of a reality.
They are, more than likely, simply testing what they have in the Labs. IIRC, my buddy at Moffit told me that many NASA labs are seed sites for new Apple equipment. This is probably a pre production unit, and they are testing against the other lab computers.
Remember guys.... NASA = Government Organization.
In other words, they don't have the money to go out and buy brand spanking new systems in order to do some internal benchmarking.

Hmmm, its nice to see ATA possibly getting better, but does anyone know the status on the new Serial SCSI effort? Supposedly you could use sATA or sSCSI drives on the same chain.
Cant seem to get to the org web site right now.
