The correct response is only as much as you fear of dying from tanning.
The real response is people are afraid of what they dont understand.. since the average person is an idiot, and half of them ate dumber than that. They have no understanding of radaition its effects, etc. Therefore it is to be feared. Take a look at religions they love that effect. If it isnt us then it isnt goig to our heaven and often added on then kill it to hell.
in 1970 the average middle class salary was something like $20, today it is $21. The average CEO in 1970 made $300,000 now it is $5 million.
The rich are rich because they fire 3,000 middle income earners so they can pay themselves millions in bonuses. What did goldman sachs do with their bailout? pay out hundreds of millions in bonuses to their employees. The employees that trashed the company got paid bonuses for doing just that.
That is why the rich are rich. because they say fuck you it's mine you don't matter to everyone else.
A simple fact if your earning less than $100k a year you are most likely spending 98% of your income. you literally can't spend any more. As your income goes up the amount you spend as a percentage goes way down. you can tax the rich simply because they have enough money to actually tax.
The only way out of this mess is sound fiscial planning. It took a republican congress and clinton to setup a decent plan. a plan that last less than 2 years before a republican decide the government had to much money and started cutting taxes before the debt was paid off. you can't cut taxes until after we are in the black. you cut spending and pay down debt. but no one including Ron Paul actually supports paying down debt for more than a couple of years.
In Rochester, New York I get all sorts of latency issues with game play. You see my only choice for broadband is Cable, and the cable is so over saturated by all the neighbors on the same circuit that I can barely get digital TV let alone decent low latency connections.
The cable company doesn't care. I have the techs out twice a year to get them to make the same adjustments, they adjust me, then a month later adjust my neighbor, then adjust someone else, until they get down the block and 6 months later they start all over again.
assuming an always on connection always fails in the USA. you can't assume it.
right now on my desk is a nook color, a laptop, a desktop and a smartphone. each has it's places and uses. The laptop for travel computing, the desktop for games, the smartphone for staying connected and the nook color for reading, minor web surfing.
I find it useful to have to nook opened to a website on a particular game I am playing so i have notes on hand, and can look up quick item facts. the nook also lasts 6 hours of continuous use so I don't' have to recharge it as often.
I went on vacation for 5 days taking my laptop my nook and my phone. I had to recharge the nook once, and the laptop not at all since I was on vacation and didn't need to do a lot of real work.
Tablets are a complement to laptops and desktops. they will lower sales some, but one works off the other. Besides you can setup you desktop as a local cloud, to store files for your mobile devices quite easily.
The only reminder should bethat processors designs for different types of math can do that math faster than processors designed for other types of math.
I don't understand why companies don't realize that. Running graphics on a floating point processors is like using a train to go across an ocean. Sure you can do it doesn't mean that it is a good idea.
Pride prevented them from acknowledging their weaknesses and thus prevented them from building robots that could go into the bad places that humans have made.
it is pretty typical japanese ignore a potential situation until you are shamed into no longer ignoring it. It is one of the few things that japan does that they are ashamed of but because they are shamed they won't fix it.
American's are alway cleaning up the mess made by others. hopefully one day someone will clean up after us American's
Locating the site farther inland requires more pipes to be dug, which bring in cold water from the ocean. Longer pipes are at a greater risk from earth quakes breaking them.
The only flaw in the building layout was locating the emergency generators in an underground bunker that was designed to be protected against earthquakes. That bunker was flooded by 20 feet of water drowning the generators.
instead of guessing about the engineering specs why don't you look them up? They put the generators in a location such that if the reactors buildings were damaged then the generators would be safe. that saftey came at a cost of being flooded SO they built a wall to keep water out. That wall wasn't tall enough and the bunker filled with water.
I have yet to find a watch that doesnt drift a couple of seconds every year anyways
So i am in the habit of simply resetting everything when i adjust for DST.
I know this because i set one watch to GPS time and find it loses or gains a second every month. This has proven true countless times over the decade with hundreds of watches.
you can sink one. we have what 10 more in active service.
rare and expensive yes, but taking out a carrier is a suicide run. Sweden did it by sitting on the floor and slowly sneaking up from behind but once said carrier was sunk, the carrier hunter/killer subs destroyed it.
The "game" was over at that point because it was a game, in real war the loss of one carrier is nothing, and only drives home the point that we must wipe you out.
While many in the european union have decent defenses they really aren't that good they have been cutting spending like mad for decades. you might be surprised at how small their armies are.
I must rephrase. In real military terms nobody can take on the US without resorting to attrition.
you can grind down the US but every opening move the US will wipe out all your supposed defenses of pretty much every country except Russia and China. Now can the USA stay and finish the job is another story.
This is why I love conspiracy theories involving aliens in 1949. Literally the technology to understand one quarter of a crashed alien spaceship wouldn't get invented for another 30+ years.
I can always tell when someone plays a certian game on my phone, ipad, nook color. why? because the oils streaks have a pattern to them. certain games leave specific patterns. you may not know which is the begining. but if 1/3 the screen doesn't have any oil on it then those parts are ones you dont' have to think about.
Take a standard password of 12 keys. Now with a glance eliminate 75 out of 101 keys on the keyboard. It becomes a whole lot easier to brute force now.
An AR drone, a smart phone or tablet, a car battery and 500' of cable can be had for less than $1000 and give you a couple hours of continous run time.
The thing about the shuttle that was never used all that often was the fact that you could do something like retrieve large satellite return them to earth for repairs and re launch them.
In the end it was cheaper to just build new and waste resources.
what we really need is a decent SSTO setup. that will save money.
you see if you only go by what you need you would live in a log house, as you don't need hollow walls, those are useless.
the Military has needs, it needs to be able to communicate quickly, and securely, so they test and stress the systems thoroughly.
The military needs to move troops quickly. So it took trains and doubled the number of tracks in the civil war to improve troop transport. Later those tracks where then used by civilians.
Your needs are worthless. it takes a large organization with needs to push development, large organizations require large funding. Name one other large organization with a budget the size of any military budget?
The DOD could buy MSFT or google, and it would barely touch their cash.
If HTC only released 2-3 models a year(plus localized variants for CDMA, GSM , etc) they would sell more overall units which means they could buy more product in bulk, which would lower the costs and increase their revenue. Apple is making money on the iphones because they are buying parts for cheap in bulk bulk quanties.
a smaller selection makes software modifications faster and easier too, and allows you to update them more easily.
Someday one of the android companies will realize quanity applies to more than just end products but also product units sold too.

considering I have been waiting for mainstream pixelqi screens for 4 years now (slashdot has articles back to 2008 on Pixel Qi)
I would say they have found some serious limitations that stop customers cold

You get to type all that in with the number pad on the remote. Because GUIs ate for wimps.
True but would you rather refill your car every 20,000 miles or every 400?
If each 20,000 mile refueling cost less than $2,000 you would save money.
*Iran Likes this*
Just remember drones can be jammed, intercepted, or hacked. It is a whole lot harder to hack mark one eyeballs remotely.
true, but they also make that much more too.

I personally love having to stop my car turn it off, and then restart it just to fix my radio.
I really wish msft woulld get away from intergrated hardware/software they suck at it.
hahahahhaha

I have a kodak digital camera from 1997. it has a .9 mega pixel ccd.
it is also a crappy camera. Kodak was there. they just weren't leading the stuff and if your not leading then you have fallen behind.
The only reminder should bethat processors designs for different types of math can do that math faster than processors designed for other types of math.

with more and more people leaving cable tv behind, and sometimes TV in general behind more are doing it than you think.
This is why I love conspiracy theories involving aliens in 1949. Literally the technology to understand one quarter of a crashed alien spaceship wouldn't get invented for another 30+ years.
you must not use finger touch tablets very often.

talk about going parking.
find an empty lot watch half of movie in back seat, make new idiots to repeat process.
More likely Cobra.
An AR drone, a smart phone or tablet, a car battery and 500' of cable can be had for less than $1000 and give you a couple hours of continous run time.
You can do it now if you want.
Yes but it can't retrieve that payload.
The thing about the shuttle that was never used all that often was the fact that you could do something like retrieve large satellite return them to earth for repairs and re launch them.

Define need?
