So what you are saying is maybe 10% of users have a use for all that power that modern PC's have and the rest basically need a dumb terminal from 1997 that can run the internet browser of their choice and office application?
Me I go about every 5 years between new machines mainly because i buy laptops and something goes and after 5 years it is better to buy new.
I am waiting for banks to go the route blizzard has requiring a third party component with an additional access code. find it funny game companies are pushing some sort of third point authentication systems yet banks use passwords and pins.
Banks should be doing this. Okay here is your new account and be sure to get your new security dongle.
I agree and disagree. Same age and also at age 19 started working my ass off. However sometimes psychoanalyzing your coworkers can spot other things.
I have one worker roughly the same age who always seems to struggle with certian tasks. eventually I figured out while he has some education and vocabulary he can't read very well. So he can read a simple document without noticeable delay if you give him a list of part numbers and quantities he struggles massively with it even if it is relatively straight forward.
Now being a coworker I also find him an arrogant and prideful asshole. So I refuse to mention my findings as he will merely go off on me in a verbally abusive manner. (I am leaving the company because of him and the fact he is a VP's friend)
Basically yea. If you build a new toy it has to be field tested.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the examples of "small" nuclear warheads. They are why no one but crazy people want a nuclear scale conflict. Some one has to do something stupid so others learn from their mistakes.
One it was flying in an extremely confined corridor between nations (like 30-40 mes wide). If you know where something will be you have the advantage
Two the F-117 was ugly because it was built with a 1970's computer that quite literally couldnt handle curves.
Yes the serbian shot it down and he did do just about all you describe but remember while he took advantage of all battlefield conditions like a good general. Not just technology
Here is the trick it is a representative democracy. you can kill them all (nuke DC during the state of the union address) the states can then hold elections to repopulate the federal government.
Which is how it was done the first time around.
The people generally don't need the federal government. it is symbolic but isn't necessary. The police, fire , even national guard are all funded from STATE coffers. As long as every state government doesn't collapse too it wouldn't take more than a year to completely rebuild the federal government.
Apple releases iOS 6. within 3 months it will be nearly impossible to BUY a NEW device without iOS 6 already on it. I am not talking about already sold but NEW.
Google released ICS how long ago, most companies will start converting to it next YEAR.
That is what is frustrating the lead developers(HTC, etc) are 6-9 months behind google's release and compatible hardware may never get the updates. Only the really popular lines seem to be getting regular updates. however since Android developers are taking the shotgun approach and shipping 50 medicore products a year and hoping one or two stick it is really hurting the overall marketplace.
instead they should ship 5 maybe 10 devices a year and make them better. It will lower their production costs too as you can buy in bulk.
It is Swedish law. Not American not british but Swedish law.
Besides the CIA. Is just as clueless as you are regarding Swedish law.
He got lucky with two different women. The problem becomes Swedish law is very much in the womens favor. And that bit him on the ass when those women found out
But carpathia won't do it for free and meguploads assets are frozen. Individual users have no rights with carpathia they aren't the customers of carpathia.
Only mega upload can access that data but are forbidden by the government.
The best part of all this will be the end lawsuits and accutials. The us government had so completely botched this case that they can't win. They probably won't even get the extradition as they are denying legal rights to the accused.
my bed has a sheet two pillows, and a fleece blanket. that is all that is on it. everything has a place but there is nothing like flopping onto a bed and just grabbing sheets as opposed to un making the bed before you can sleep.
I have to un make a bed before I can sleep on it. if it is made properly it is to tight on my ankles So i have to loosen all the covers anyways. if I don't i will kick them free during the night. Not to mention I live in a house that doesn't go below 60 at night I don't need 5 layers of blankets to keep warm. So why have it if you don't use it.
What you describe though can be tempered with a bit of forethought.
before you get it done, dot the I's and Cross the T's for approvals.
I too am the type of person who will get it done without being told. but I always make sure I have written approval before I start. if you need a contract signed you make sure it is signed. That is part of getting the job done, and in fact it is usually step one.
Software and business methods aren't products that should be patentable. Look and feel shouldn't be patentable( curved edges are innovative?) Maybe apple could trademark the appearance of the iphone, but that appearance should never be a patent.
Micky mouse shouldn't be under copyright still The "inventors" grandchildren are dead.
Patents and copyrights are used only to protect past acompilishments not create new ones. Stronger IP protections are only used to slow down growth. It is all but ignored by growing economies.
The problem is distance. Until you have superconductors for the distribution grid the losses are just to great. While Texas can sell some power to California. NY or Florida can't

Do you have more than one size of paper?
Tablets have uses for lots of sizes. I love my nook sometimes the screen is too small though.
they really don't make them like that any more.
the only reason I read the paper is for local news, however even then it is seldom more than 4-6 pages a section and each section is round 4/5 ads.
You are forgetting two parts of the Serbia plane.
One it was flying in an extremely confined corridor between nations (like 30-40 mes wide). If you know where something will be you have the advantage
Two the F-117 was ugly because it was built with a 1970's computer that quite literally couldnt handle curves.

The more i hear details of this case the more I am wondering if it isn't so over the top that it was being done on purpose.
Being that they can tell the MAFIAA see we helped you out but we can't do it again. We don't have (insert excuse).
Fortunately Abrams destroyed that timeline blowing up Vulcan. however he couldn't kill archer off as well

For shipping devices.
Apple releases iOS 6. within 3 months it will be nearly impossible to BUY a NEW device without iOS 6 already on it. I am not talking about already sold but NEW.

damn straight. while 10" tablets are nice for some things fitting on desks while trying to work isn't one of them.
I am looking for an up to date 7" android tablet that doesn't need to be modded and rooted into oblivion to work right.
Itunes is the idevice greatest fault. consider it a gift that keeps on giving from apple.
sort of like IE6 is a gift that gave for many many years from MSFT.
It is Swedish law. Not American not british but Swedish law.

you forgot 7 pillows that have no use other than to make the bed look pretty.
if you use one of those pillows you will get yelled at worse than not making the bed.
What you describe though can be tempered with a bit of forethought.

Sane I could deal with.

In concept it is cool in practice it is still under powered.

I killed Hitler. in 1945.
this guy made a comic about it.
you joke but with windows 7 hardware installation requirements you might need 10 copies to last you 10 years.
I don't get quota but 10gb a day and then slow is better than some.
Personally it should be 2-3gb an hour and then slow for an hour. That will cut on torrents but still allow multiple streaming movies.
Of course torrents can handle the slow downs.
