People are paid based on the money they bring in, not the work they put out. If we were all paid based on the work we put out, then trash men would be gods and many of our congressmen would be paid like school teachers.
I skimmed the article looking for details on the ejection system itself, but nothing stood out.
I'm guessing this is an ejection system strictly for non-moving spacecraft, right? I mean I can't imagine the speeds those shuttles reach, and having a piece of it suddenly pop open and eject the crew. Debris would be flying for miles.
No they don't. They are making a lot of money right now without those things you mention. They don't NEED to change anything.
But it would be really, really swell if they did.
They probably are doing it for the same reason that you described. See, what you are describing is probably exactly why IE6 was designed the way it was. They probably failed to predict that in the long run those lack of standards would make life harder on them. Now they are trying to make life easier on themselves by doing what everyone has been telling them to do all along. Comply.
I think their biggest mistake was not becoming standards compliant sooner. They locked everyone in with IE6, but they failed to follow up with the bridge fast enough and now people are looking at alternatives. I think if they really perfect their IE6 mode, they can make it so that companies can upgrade to IE8 without fear of breaking their pages, and ultimately that is the target. It doesn't matter if the people upgrade. It matters if the companies upgrade, because without fail the people at home will want to use at home what they use at work. It's what they are used to.
Have I been under a rock, or have there always been this many unsolicited bids being tossed about? Or is it just that the economy is shit right now and the people with money are trying to take advantage of the situation?
I shouldn't have been surprised that nobody here mentioned the 99.99% reliability of condoms. Maybe if I made a pun about "uptime" then they would think about it!
This is actually not too far off from my experience. I went to the military language school in California, and all the people in the various languages would struggle the whole 6 months to a year or whatever the requirement for that language was. Put a few drinks in them though and they would lose all that fear, and their minds would "clear" up allowing the language barrier to fall. Towards the end of the course, people would be able to speak fluently and without hesitation sometimes!
A popular site like this was able to get their ip address widely public. What I feel concerned about is those sites which are less known and possibly suffering similar situations. What do they do to get users to their site? TOR? Distributed DNS? How do we go about preventing this kind of censorship in the future?
So after reading this, I had the random thought of cluster networking and whatnot, and it made me wonder if the satellites would ever have any spare CPU cycles. If so, I wonder if they handle helping some of the @home projects (folding, seti, etc).
So the truth comes out! They are planning a rover mission, but just in case their math fails to match up and the rover ends up crashing on the moon, they will just say they were searching for hydrogen.
Thinking that you're going to not be depressed anymore makes you less depressed!

Is AMD Dead Yet?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Everyone looks at the high end market to get the temperature of a video card company. It's really the worst place to look, as the embedded video and cards packaged with desktop sales seem to be the real force behind the company's profit. ATI losing ground to the nforce and intel embedded video market (cutting into their Rage cards and similar) are probably what made ATI affordable for AMD in the first place. Unfortunately this also meant that they were still on the downslope and AMD would be taking losses for some time to follow the purchase.
It's hardly the end though. The only people who bother "predicting" the end of a company are fearful shareholders or people who have nothing better to do. Everyone else is just wondering just WHEN the benefits of the ATI purchase will show, not if.
Well, what will probably happen first is the phantom, running DNF, will receive a specific keystroke set from the optimus and will initiate the processing sequence that provides the ultimate question to the ultimate answer.
I never understood why people disliked wikipedia until I read your post and put 2 + 2 together. Now it makes a lot of sense why teachers hate it so much.

Maybe now we can finally declare year of the linux desktop!
Wait, what?
Well, you're right and wrong.

Yes, but then we would die of disease after sending all of our telephone cleaners to the big red ball.

NASA needs funds right? So they should sell the right to name the new crater on ebay.
It's unfortunate that Germany's history has practically annihilated any hope of an immigration control policy.

THEN the universe will end.
It's not hard to figure out why we haven't solved this problem. It costs MORE to fix it now than it does to wait.
So just wait until it costs more to live with IPv4 than to migrate to new systems. Then EVERYONE will be working on a solution.
I can't wait to see what some hardware hackers can do with this and a Lego Mindstorms NXT robot!

It's not so much anti-china so much as anti-whoever-is-really-hacking-us.
China is currently #1 on that list. And they are actively recruiting hackers at their own government agencies for this purpose.
Politicians will claim prior art based on the fact that it's powered by a series of tubes.
This is exactly why I never adopt 1st Gen technology.
Well just remember that is an average. More than likely they go weeks without damage, and then one ship drags and cuts 4 cables in one go.
