Do you enjoy the tactile feedback that your finger tips provide? A super nerve dense area of skin that allows your hands to do delicate stuff. Imagine if as a baby someone came along and shaved off all of your finger tips. Do you think you'd be able to do the types of work that an 'un shaved' would be able to do? You wouldn't know any different. As far as you know that's how fingers are supposed to work.
"Ribbed for her Pleasure" condoms. Where the heck do you think 'rib' was supposed to come from? Prosthetics are nice but not quite the same.
What about Composting sawdust toilet I'm sure the locals have something they can use in lieu of sawdust.
You could even create a dehydration toilet Urine is collected separate (where it could easily be evaporated off and the urea used as fertilizer). After dehydrated the human waste could take place of animal dung used for heat.
I think a bigger and better use of this money would be something to sanitize. Something as simple as soap or the 'waterless' alcohol based sanitizers.
NO NO NO NO. The "API" and the "Apps" were when facebook turned to shit. I want a place to share photos. Tag people in them. See what is going on. THAT IS IT. No API, no "games", NO.
Picasa (Google+ Photos) is still open to the world. You can still limit albums by e-mail address. Or make them personal ("open" but you have to have the URL).
This is a non-issue. They never have to sign up for circles at all.
I have one. I spent forever on it getting it right. Valid HTML4. Can scroll through lots of photos fast. Because I separated out the header and footer bits I've integrated it on a few websites I'm on. I have a hacked together fork that will output a valid KML file so I can view my photos from when I went to India on a map. In all it's pretty awesome IMHO. Maybe you missed out on the part where I said I used to have a Gallery setup.
But MOST people just don't get that. They want to share their photos with their friends. I'd constantly get "I forgot the URL" e-mails and other such inane questions. They couldn't tag each other. They couldn't comment without registering for an account (That or I'd have a billion spam bots) and this was too difficult for them. Some only recently started using the computer. The fact that they found Facebook is good. (And some only login once a week if that).
It's not rocket science to setup. But it's rocket science to some of these people to use. They're not by any means "dumb". 3 of my Aunts & Uncles are Doctors. Some have engineering degrees. They just don't use the internet like we do. If you don't think these people exist go volunteer at your local GeekSquad or for a Tech Support line.
I finally got an invite yesterday from a friend. It still needs a bit of tweaking but hands down the best social website since Facebook was nice and clean back in the day. The fact that it's rising this fast should make some people over at Facebook a bit worried. I'm going to finally start transitioning.
Back in the day Facebook was only.edu and thus didn't have the lowest common denominator on it. We used to make fun of people on MySpace for "ThEiR HoRiBLZ Grammer" and such. But if you start reading LameBook or Failbook this group of people is now over on Facebook. And as long as Google+ remains invite only, I can't see them ever getting over to Google+.
When my grandma died I was tasked with scanning in family photos. I needed a faster way to upload them so I wrote my app. I had thousands, if not tens of thousands of photos uploaded, sorted, tagged. Most of my large family isn't the most technological, and facebook was much easier than Gallery. Plus they could tag each other, comment on the photos "Oh this is when Dad took us to that beach and set the house on fire" etc. When the auto ban bot came through it was all gone. My appeal reply was boiler plated. "Sorry our bot says you're doing spamming." Unlike some people, I do still have all the photos. (It looks like there were numerous photo uploading apps that got caught up in the ban.)
Thankfully with my app it only took about 24 hours of my bandwidth to reupload them, but all of the additional value added metadata that was lost. (I am not retagging them). Any photo less than 2048x2048 doesn't count towards your 1GB Picasa (Google+ Photos?) quota. I've already started looking at the PHP Google API. I'm hoping to have all my photos up there soon. Anyone that wants to see any new photos I take, will follow me to Google+. -
Opening Paragraph: Apple has just announced that the company’s 200 million iOS users have downloaded over 15 billion apps from its App Store, including both iPad and iPhone apps. The App Store currently includes more than 425,000 apps, with over 100,000 native iPad apps.
And 50? You should see some peoples phones. I've seen people with 50 folders.
Not to mention App Store is now available for OS X and Apple is starting to release all their stuff through it. (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc)
They have an aversion to saying "no" and end up being vague and confusing.
If you ever get a chance to go to India you're going to hate the head weave. It's half way between "Yes" and "No" but also means maybe, sometimes, all the time, and I don't know.
When I called Mathworks I spoke to a PhD who was very knowledgeable and used Matlab for his PhD thesis (actually the toolkit in particular I was working with).
It's also $10k+ a seat and my company I heard was in their top 25 customers. So YMMV.
Can anyone explain to me the 10,000' view of how this works? Does the fan blow on the coals? Does it pull excess heat out the top?
And this isn't just simple 'set point' bang bag controllers. This is PID control, which.... that's a damn small subset of engineers that actually get it. Ooo, this is getting me all excited. I'd love to just ID the model. Simple sine sweep identification. Well then I guess you have 'degradation factor' as your fuel runs low. And of course you're going to need to model in the energy density of your fuel source.
Let me open simulink. Just a minute boss I promise I'll have your stuff by tomorrow.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-

I didn't own a Windows Machine until 2001. I definitely got the BSOD with XP.
And they pay the taxes in the state that their warehouses are in.
This is about CA, where Amazon has no presence, telling Amazon to pay taxes.

They're royalty free (HDMI isnt) and DVI is huge on a laptop.

Facebook royally screwed me when they did the automated bans of numerous apps. My app. User 1 (me).. Was caught up in it.

Yep. I'm in the hole to the tune of $3500ish. I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time as a buyer and it got repeated again as a seller.
