"Now make a RegularCar, that I can buy for 75k, and I'll have one in the driveway tomorrow.
Is that in dollars or pesos, 'cause $75K is much more than I'm willing to pay for a car, and I'm sure I'm not alone. That price is going to have to come down for a product to be a commercial success.
"The problem is, tomorrow we won't be happy with the same old video we used to stream"
Never the less more bandwidth is needed in the US. I was surprised to learn that a fatter pipe was par for the course in countries like S. Korea and available for a fraction of the cost it is here. Sure, it may be subsidized but its ridiculous to me that the inventing country of the internet extends less access to its citizens than many other countries.
I agree. And not somehow, but of complete and utter apathy. Social networking as a viable business model is not the "hot new thing" it was 5 years ago. I can't believe Facebook is still chugging along now. I don't see it still around at the level it is currently in 5 years.
Actually, its not that interesting. "Engineer implements random protocol with miscellaneous sdk." The fact that a programmer gets a toolset to do something shouldn't be news. Even if the toolset is used for something it wasn't intended, a well designed toolset should handle unforeseen scenarios with some dexterity anyway. A mildly interesting hack, sure. Headline worthy? No.
Its a new tool in the technology toolbox. Probably not a lot of consumers will feel a real need to physically remove their GPUs from their rigs. But you just never know what crazy new applications a remote GPU will enable.

"Hell, it's almost to the point where it feels like calling yourself a "libertarian" or - worse - being a registered libertarian, is potentially as risky as calling yourself a communist or socialist in the 1950s.
No, its not even close. Been a lifelong Lib and I've never felt threatened.
The key to what "kit" obviously is what EMC does. EMC is world-wide and into lots of stuff but specializes in data storage, recovery, and asset management solutions. I'm guessing like SAP but with specialize hardware to go with it.
"Why don't they just put a sniper or two as look out on these cargo ships?"
That's what I'm talking about. They seem to be going our of their way to make sure the defensive means for the lawfully traveling cargo ships is non-lethal. What is the point? It would be more expensive than conventional means, and I'm not sure the results would be all the spectacular or useful, successful or not. Seems like the deterrent effect of conventional, lethal means, should be in play for something like this.
The financials sound interesting and validate Sach's valuation short term, but these results are unverified and disclosed in a shady way. I'm still of the mind that if America is hoping to replace heavy industry with IS as an economic base its in for a rude awakening in due time.
I get the technical aspect, its a cool hack. But the result is not something anyone needs to write home about. 5 nozzles spitting fire in sync to music. Am I just jaded?
I don't believe she is purposely being a bitch, but this is why we don't have ordinary people practicing medicine, and priests teaching anthropology, or use the Bible as textbook on history.
Because its really not, as the article clearly shows. Anything that purports to be X & uses lies, half truths, and slung statistics to present its case clearly is not X.
The communists claim they will sell capitalists the rope on which they will hang us all on.
The Soviet Union collapses because they could never get capitalism.
China moves to stamp out all opposition in Tibet and 25 years later in Tienanmen Square
China, with 1000's of years of innate mercantile knowledge, becomes the world's banker, foregoing communism's basic premise that capital is to be abandoned.
China develops a cruise missile that is specifically aimed at air craft carriers, America's ace-in-the-hole.

Ok, so how about the government agency who's dept. heads were caught spending all their time in the office surfing for porn and generally goofing off last year? Were they a threat?

facebook will somehow die
I agree. And not somehow, but of complete and utter apathy. Social networking as a viable business model is not the "hot new thing" it was 5 years ago. I can't believe Facebook is still chugging along now. I don't see it still around at the level it is currently in 5 years.
"All too often people let their emotions / politics / media-lust get in the way of doing actual work towards understanding the planet we live on.
And THAT, my friends, are the truest words I've ever heard uttered regarding this debate.

Nice, non-partisan sig.

Washers, dryers, POS systems & other specialized IS, surveillance & encryption tools, satellite & weapons system components...
"Killing children"? I thought adults frequented /. My mistake.

Same. Reason: past record regarding user privacy.
