It doesn't have to point to a few million dollars in gains, so long as you point out the millions of dollars in losses they will suffer with a lack of global support.
We can clone mice. We can cure mice cancer. We can put them into suspended animation, allowing them to live on into future generations (meaning they will probably be the first organic space pets).
Something tells me that the rats of NIMH are already in the execution phase of some higher level plans with all the work we've managed to accomplish on their genetics.
I don't know about your office, but in our office a fridge is the least secure environment we have. If you don't put your name (and date, social, blood type, etc) on every item then you might as well have left it out on the secretary's desk.
While I understand what they're saying here, and I understand the surface intent of the message, I get this feeling that there is some sort of devious underlying motive here.
Or it could just be that I have my Slashd^H^H^H^Htinfoil hat on a bit too tight.
If they can't meet demands now, and they will be backlogged for years to come, I'm wondering why 5 years to catch up is even remotely important at this point?
And, you know, if the business goes south you can still make swords afterwords.
Lest we overlook the fact that he thought multiplicative lighting was the way to go, rather than dealing with the performance hit of additive lighting in Quake 3. Sometimes the fastest way is not always the best way. Or at least the only best way.
I'm guessing they only instituted that rule because their employees don't know what computer internals look like.
So all they have to do now is just make sure all TSA employees are A+ certified and we won't have to deal with that hassle anymore either.
Why does that make their results any more trustworthy? You mean more trustworthy for me? Or more trustworthy for other people who also don't give a fuck? If you mean the latter, then honestly that sounds like this article is not just unbiased, but also fairly unimportant as it's target audience doesn't even care what they are saying.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is exactly the sort of thing that was asked back in England. They had the opportunity to setup shop in the new world though, far from the reaches of their government. They probably felt their system was broken and that there was no way to change the system from within, so they left to the fringe, and there is where they severed their ties and became their own entity.
Our new world is entirely different. Where they had water separating the air their governments controlled from the air the colonists breathed, we are occupying the same meat space, talking over a series of tubes controlled and taxed by those same people we disagree with. For us to live in a fringe society seems almost barbaric. Funny that, though, as I'm sure that's exactly how the colonists felt about their lives.
So here's where I suggest you start. You start by saying fuck the internet. A digital bill of rights is useless in this current incarnation of the web. It would be subverted by anyone who had any leverage at all, and often even by those who don't (the bank vs wikileaks for example). It may seem barbaric, but work on alternatives to the internet routing system as it currently is. TOR seems like a good underground metaphor, but mesh networks seem like a potential "new world" so to speak.
And even still, after you think about all of that, you have the problem of infrastructure. The colonists left the English infrastructure entirely. They just had to fight to own what was state-side, and that was that. We, however, would be running our own internet on the infrastructure (housing, power, water, govt services, etc) that is already in place, meaning once again, there is leverage.
I'd be very interested in seeing the quality improvements in games that can use this technology to improve only certain points in a display based on where you are actually looking.
Now what would be terribly interesting is coupling this sort of thing with a car and a transparent LCD windshield. It would be able to enhance various aspects of your car's display and perhaps make some things more apparent from your peripheral vision.
Or for combat pilots, using this sort of technology to target a craft based on where your eyes are focused.

Apparently she has to file a 3rd revision now.
It's already April 1st in some parts of the world.
A series of optimistic tubes.
So Acid 4 will include security tests too now, right?

Depleted uranium is still bad for you. See this.

Or the complete kernel of windows. Chimps fling poo, Microsoft coders fling gooey.

Perhaps the new deadly sin of "excessive wealth" would cover this as well.
I wish I had your birthday.

And here I was trying to build a new laptop case-mod by integrating the laptop into the bag itself. This idea is so much easier though!
If you think that there are ANY sources without an agenda then I pity you.

... but that last part sounded like they were saying "Our opinion matters more because we just don't give a fuck."

So where do we go from here?
So do squirrels with paper stapled to them.
Well, they do tend to go around on foot, so I'd imagine it would be more like "putting the sneaker back into sneakernet."

I could think about this all day...
