You must be new around here. Turbo buttons on PCs were for old DOS games that would base their speed on cpu clock cycles. I played many of game that were unplayable if the turbo was on because it would run too fast to see what was happening.
omg you found the one exception, i guess that makes my entire argument invalid, because you found a plastic figurine that is being sold by one store for $20
I suspect you're trolling but just in case you're not. The important thing about 3D printers is not how they're currently being applied but how they could be applied. I personally have zero interest in 3D printing in it's current state. I also probably wouldn't have been interested in computers in the 80s. The thing to understand is the technology will progress to the point where you can print just about anything in a 3D printer (a car, an assault rifle, medicine or even entire buildings). At that point everything can 1. Be built for the cost of the materiel its made and 2. Can be designed in an open source fashion. This will fundamentally change the way we look at things similarly to how the internet changed the way we think about ideas.
I suspect you're trolling, to assume consumer or even pro-sumer 3D printers will eventually be printing cars or (LOL!) building. By that logic we should all be printing magazines and giant posters from our walmart inkjet printers. Sure, technically you can, but you'll get a better quality poster for $5 from walmart than what you could print at home with a average inkjet and photo inks and taping a dozen pages together.
Will there be 3D printers that print buildings? Of course, just like there's printers that print professional magazines and beautiful posters, but you don't find those for sale at your average office supply store, and they're not affordable for the average SOHO, it's cheaper to pay someone else to print those things for you which is what I said in parent: "If I really need a 3D model I imagine paying someone a few bucks on ebay or craiglist to print custom items."
Why not? Microsoft was sued and fined for the same reason, having their OS on most PCs and defaulting to Internet Explorer and Microsoft search. I think Google even complained that they were not a option on IE. Now it's Google with their OS on most smartphones and defaulting to Chrome and Google search. If Microsoft can't do that why should it be ok for Google? Seems like lots of fucks should be given, Google should offer choices like Microsoft did. Apple defaults to Google search so no issues there.
Problem is if apple didnt patent it someone else would have filed a patent years later and sued apple like that patent troll suing for podcasts. It's a no win for apple, patent and they're the bad guy, don't patent and they get sued
I'm shocked how many IT and programming jobs want to pay $12 an hour but require a bachelors in computer science. If H1-B employees are willing to work for so little I can see why companies are begging for them.
Or just install VMware on any version of windows and boot them into that. You don't need windows 7 pro and some anytime kit. Still think a five year old MacBook would be easiest, it will run flash and familiar browsers but less likely to get viruses and spyware, and if you want you can use time machine to roll back to the original install, that will wipe anything they ever did. System restore is available for windows too but mac time machine works better.
I for dumber for having read TFA.
It could have been education if they had walked through the math for the kids in the audience.
here's the article for those who don't read: some anonymous computer science college kid explains why a test for zombie disease that's 99.9% accurate is better than a test that's 99% accurate. Why anyone cares what anonymous computer science college kid says about hypothetical zombie disease test is beyond me. April fools?
Lets be honest, we barely use our home printers. I'm glad I have it, but I bought my color laser in 2009 and have never changed the toners. I print everything to PDF. I have no desire to own a 3D printer because I see no use for it, the little models and small items I've seen people print could have been bought for a few dollars rather than buying a $2,000+ printer and the plastic it uses. If I really need a 3D model I imagine paying someone a few bucks on ebay or craiglist to print custom items. Sorry 3D printer makers, but these will always be for a very niche market, never mainstream.
Is an internet company responsible to the country that it operates from, or is it responsible to every country that they can be reached from?
The second would be a remarkably scary result.
This stuff has already gone to court. Google execs were charged with crimes in italy for YouTube videos showing bullying. Google ignored it and Italy couldn't do anything. If Internet was ruled by every law in every country then it wouldn't exist. Sorry France you lose.
This whole thing still shows even Congress doesn't grasp the basic laws at work.
Sales Tax is almost always owed by the PURCHASER. That's why all the stores in my state have a LICENSE to COLLECT that tax and sent it on your behalf to the State. So if I buy something via mail order in Michigan from a business only in Iowa THAT BUSINESS has no obligation to MICHIGAN to collect anything. I still have the obligation to PAY MICHIGAN its USE TAX because I LIVE in that state.
That's the only issue, that a state cannot tell people in OTHER STATES to follow its laws. Not to mention, complying with ONE state tax where your physical store is located is hard... Why should an online business have to collect for 50 states?
Clearly congress and even/. doesn't understand the complexity of online sales tax. There is not 50 states to tax, there are thousands of counties to tax.
When I worked at network solutions ecommerce support several years ago we were trying to tackle this tax problem because some online stores had to collect tax according to their state government. OMG it was a nightmare! Thousands of different counties to keep updated tax information from, and unfortunately there was no central area to pull the most up to date tax info from, just had to google it to see if you could figure out if that local county govt had increased the taxes recently. We eventually just implemented what we thought was the correct taxes, told them to use at own risk, and allowed stores to update any county they wanted with what they thought was the correct tax info. Most stores just rounded all the taxes up to a real high tax rate to be safe, hoping if one county wasn't taxed high enough, maybe the excess taxes collected from another county would compensate for it.
I suspect we will see the same, online stores will just charge 10 or 12 percent hoping that will cover most counties. With shipping this will make online shopping more expensive than local stores and online sales tax will kill online business.
If the startup goes broke, you owe nothing. If they turn into the next facebook, yer SCREWED. (Buy hey, that's pretty rare)
No worries, zuckerberg didn't finish college so he would have never been given money to make facebook by this place. Neither did bill gates or steve jobs.
If they didn't refuse to hire anyone over 40, they wouldn't have a problem...
Why should they hire anyone above 40? How many 40 plus athletes are there? How many hostesses or security guards/soldiers you know above 40? IT is just another industry and there is no reason why companies should not prefer younger cheaper employees. Perhaps you should look at jobs where experience _really_ matters, e.g., Medicine, Aviation, Academics etc.
How many writers are over 40? How many movie directors? Oh wait.... maybe somethings get better with age? Maybe when it comes to a industry that needs creativity and experience instead of beauty and muscles a little age is a good thing
I want a phone that works, where I can easily buy billions of apps and new songs and movies instantly. Last thing I want to do is hack my phone, everything else in my life is hacked enough. So iPhone it is. Maybe if I was a kid and this was my only device hacking it would be fun, but with cars and computers and tablets and consoles and tvs and a house all hacked I want one thing to just work. Maybe in a few years android will get better and they'll fix the fragmentation problems but right now even a 2009 iPhone runs the latest ios 6.1.2
You're right. I taught everyone in the house how to use torrents. Now we only watch what we want when we want. Haven't had TV service in over 5 years, went from xbmc to roku and plex with torrents, Netflix, and basic Hulu. It's not bad at all, everyone does this anyway with DVR, recording everything and watching it later. I am considering a Android PC for a good all-in-one solution.
Turn it to "off" and the engine will lose power. The car will stop. Also, you can shift it in to neutral. Might not be the best for the engine at high RPMs, but it'll do the trick.
Seriously, I have trouble believing these "My car is stuck going fast and can't stop!" stories are anything other than failure to understand how to operate your vehicle.
^----- This. The brake pedal causing the car to accelerate seems highly unlikely without some major hacking, and even if the brakes are bad the emergency brake should still be working. I hope the car is still in good shape so the manufacture can inspect it, I imagine we will be hearing more on this story.
Overbearing? I agree the world doesn't like all things American, but Apple did completely change the direction of smartphones and tablets and the Internet for the entire world. Without iPhone there would be no Android and "tablets" would still be 4 lbs windows laptops with swivel screens and keyboards. Have to give Apple credit where credit is due.

My 8 core does 0 to 100% loading websites in 5ms, my old 6 core took 7.5ms. My friend has a 4 core with turbo boost that does 0 to 100 in 4.3.

And 640k should be enough for anyone.
People like you predicted no on would have a use for a computer in the home.
By that logic every new gadget will be in billions of homes and offices. Who marked this as insightful? It's trolling.

Apple phones are already almost water proof. There are videos of people putting them in tanks of water and they remain on the entire time. Google it.
Problem is if apple didnt patent it someone else would have filed a patent years later and sued apple like that patent troll suing for podcasts. It's a no win for apple, patent and they're the bad guy, don't patent and they get sued

You put too much faith in science. Just two hundred years ago our first president died because modern science thought draining blood cured disease. Doctors didn't know that hand washing prevented the spread of disease until 150 years ago. Imagine how silly our current knowledge of science will appear in 2200.
