Oh, it will change everything all right. But not for the better. It will be used as a tool by man against mankind . It will be a tool of oppression by the oppressors.
Watson will be used as a tool like any other. Just look how our advanced tools are being used against us! Be it political divide and conquer, oppression, tyranny, or war; man is his own worst enemy!
Assuming the BT bubble doesn't pop anytime soon; eventually BT mining will only be profitable with large investment funds. Like say, financial institutions and banks.
So basically, nothing changes for the little guy. He/she will still get fucked. Fact of life!
Bigger problems: At least here in the US, business are in a mode of self-preservation due to both debt and a massive restructuring of our healthcare industry. As such, being on the cusp of going out of business, I'm finding the SMB market choosing to roll the dice on being reactive vs. proactive. If the companies lose data and productivity from malware outbreak, they were soon to go under anyways. So ya, "fuck 'it'" is right.
And that's exactly why I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro Mid-2012 edition (2.9Ghz Core i7) when i did back in July 2013. I knew the MBP non-retina would not get an update. It was the end of the line for this model. So I cashed in my WellsFargo reward points into $400 worth of BestBuy gift cards and purchased my new laptop. Immediately I upgraded to 16GB RAM with an OCZ Vertex 4 256GB SSD. Fucking apple still won't enable TRIM except on their own Apple branded SSDs. For 3rd party SSDs to have TRIM enabled, you have to run some commands from the terminal. After all these years, it's till this way in Mavericks (10.9)!!!. I suppose I should be lucky they didn't create a propritary SATA connector with encrypted device signing. Oh, I suppose that's next...
Feng shui is out of balance with respect to how we control the natural energies of the universe. So yes, squared audio output from transistor amps could be the cause of it. As for the decline in department stores; the 80s need to be brought back with copious amounts of Prince and Duran Duran played in rotation.
Now start meditating to the harmonious Earth mother and cleanse your body of ill toxins. ***paying new-age music with whale sound recordings***
The ultimate goal of any manager is two folder. 1: Streamline and flow-chart out the workflow so it can be outsourced to a bunch of muppets. 2: Churn-and-burn!
Or put it another way. You modify your business so that people can be replaced with another cheap replaceable cog.
Exactly. I wasn't sure if that was in reference to electric vehicles that generate heat via electronic heater. But with a standard petrol engine, the heater core is just a fancy word for a radiator placed in the cabin.
Here in Texas, we can choose our electricity provider in an unregulated market. Obviously not the actual distribution, but as a utility contract based on the amount of KW used per month. When electricity is generated, most people choose the cheapest option. They don't care how it's generated. You could advertise a utility that charges 1 cent per KW and runs on pixie fart wind and unicorn treadmill power. It doesn't matter. Same thing with Solar Energy. By subsidizing solar energy, it now become more affordable and thus you leave it up to the energy producers to figure out what is the best/cheapest solar technology to use. In effect, you're abstracting out technology decision making via a subsidized open market.
While I can't comment on the validity of the "1.3 TRILLION" statement, you are absolutely correct in that the oil industry is heavily subsidized in America. From what understand however, this is across the industry so everyone benefits from lower cost in gasoline. That, and oil is fungible. The problem with subsidizing Solar manufacturing is that you can't ever compete with China. Effectively, companies like Solyndra feed off the funding and quickly fold leaving an empty husk in the process. This is the "choosing winers and losers" that Republicans don't like. It simply isn't fair. Now subsidizing Solar ENERGY, now that I can get onboard with so long as it's sustainable. Which BTW seem to be the case with the price drop in technology.
Frontline did a story on this on PBS. It's worth a watch. Everyone should. Effectively, theirs not much researches can do I'm afraid. Nothing short of genetic engineering and what not, the chemical common denominators used as antibiotics (while not harming the host) is pretty much useless to these new evolved forms of bacteria.
Seriously! If you even suspect that the machine you're working from has ben compromised by malware, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD to the accounts you've used via a known clean computer. Then proceed to nuke the drive from orbit and reload the OS and apps. Botnets are known sources of dropping key loggers and harvesting user data to a central database.

It's not that the TV may be incompatible, just that establishing a HDMI link via HDCP protocol is wonky. Sometimes it's the order in which the devices were booted up (TV, console, or the receiver that bridges the two). Sometimes one devices has buggy firmware that itches another buggy firmware the wrong way in another. When you encounter HDMI link issues, updating the firmware on either end may resolve the "Mexican standoff" in linking up. So being that the PS4 is new out of the box, that leaves you with looking at updating the TV's firmware if at all possible. Which BTW is not always possible. It rarely is in fact.
Nothing.You did your job. Management didn't. At the end of the day, you're just a paycheck away from being fired anyways. You just illustrated what happens when a company lacks leadership and vision. Fuck em, and those that buy their products. Have a beer, enjoy it. Life is too short.
Also keep in mind that Sony stripped out the ability to run Yellow Dog Linux from the PS3 via firmware update. It was ultimately to prevent rooting of the box and running pirated content or some such.
The way I see it, Sony is a schizophrenic company that not only shoots its own foot, but that of their customers as well. They can't be trusted.
The PC revolution offered low cost individual machines for doing work. No sharing, no scheduling, no fixed location. The PC by definition is a Personal Computer. It was only after high-speed internet connectivity became more ubiquitous that we could now harness the power of clustering multiple PCs that span great distances. And yet, we still use PCs as a thin-client to access resources of greater power in numbers. Eventually however, we will be accessing these resources via proxy from our Smartphones. AI enabled personal assistants. It's like every man, woman, and child having their very own secretary and eventually a full staff of machines. And thus begins the decline of human intellect and self-reliance on their own brain. We stupid ourselves to death. Like a page out of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine.
Most of the extreme (really extreme) OC nuts are not stupid. They just happen to have a LOT of money to burn. Quite literally. For these guys, it's like drag racking with top fuel cars. The engines are only good for a race or two before an entire teardown and rebuild is required. Interesting, but just as useless!
They will appeal the ruling because it's so patently obvious it involves the root DNS servers. Otherwise, the UN really will have something to to on with regards of taking away control from the US. Which BTW, sounds like a good idea until you realize what the alternatives would be. From bad to worse no doubt.
Oh well, it was an interesting experiment while it lasted. The single interconnected world wide web that is. A real shame it is!
I love science, but I'd rather see 10 billion dropped into fusion or thorium reactor technology...yesterday! We have cheaper oil now, but I believe that to be the exception to the rule for now. Wars are fought over resources. A known fact! We should act now before our money is spent on more conflicts.

Other than the Ask Toolbar that rides along with it. That, and it's a vector for malware.

2 is greater than 1. When you get right down to it, you'll eventually stand on one side. So pick a side or one will be chosen for you!

Sony sued Sony once before. Actually it was their recording label that went after the SCEA. You can read about it here. http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/sony-vs-sony/
Also keep in mind that Sony stripped out the ability to run Yellow Dog Linux from the PS3 via firmware update. It was ultimately to prevent rooting of the box and running pirated content or some such.

Could be an issue with HDCP over HDMI. I would not surprise me if this is DRM failing thus holding up the boot process.
