I agree. 13.5 billion is a lot of money. But maintaining that kind of wealth requires Zuckerberg to remain in the spotlight for 40+ hours a week. That life is not for me (if I can help it). Ya, I'd be miffed -for a moment-, but who wouldn't be if your objective is to run a small business and become modestly wealthy. Little did all three know...
After receiving 65 million, I would have tipped my hat to Zuckerberg and left quietly in the night. My next stop would be a world of permanent vacation without a financial care in the world.
Ya, I pretty much do the same. 3G is convenient in a pinch, but the performance isn't nearly as good as a local WiFi connection. I tend to leave the app downloading and updating activities exclusively WiFi only as I generally only do that while at home or the office anyways.
Hi, I'm a sysadmin. I see servers come and go at a local data center. As the owners pack up their equipment to leave, I often see bitcoins falling out of the vent holes and onto the floor. All you need to capture them is to use a token-ring field. It's a new advanced technology built off of the original token-ring network.

I've got a Droid2 myself. Almost all of my data traffic gets routed through someone's WiFi (I've got a long list saved). But when I'm away, it's generally only Google Maps data and e-mail traffic. How about the rest of you out there?
There is a man swimming in the ocean, he's getting very tired having to tread water. There are people all around him whom are physically and emotionally exhausted. The people have only enough energy to swim towards this man, and lean on him for support. Soon, that man will drown along with everyone else leaning on him.
Basically, that's what's happening to our working force (the man) and people consuming unemployment and other benefits (people leaning on the man). If we don't collectively swim to shore rather then tread water, this nation will screwed. I would say in fact, it already is as we know it. This concept is nothing new. This is what happens when your nation is lopsided with more dependents than producers.
Some have mentioned GM bailouts, others Airbus backing. This isn't anti-china is so much that people are tired of favoritism, bailouts, market manipulation and corruption happening world-wide at the hands of governments all over. It's fucking bullshit. The role of a government entity should be to provide protection and foster a healthy and fair legal system, not take "sides".
That's a very good point. Epileptic seizures can be deadly. However, some will claim success to their usage of an AVS device. I'll chalk that up to the placebo effect. But who am I to judge their happiness as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else?
Makes me wonder if any one of these manufactures got sued for inducing a seizure or any other bad symptom.
Pretty straightforward actually. A mentalist will exude confidence to such a degree that you, I, or anyone else becomes submissive to their ideas. Being a mentalist means tapping into this primal human behavior as a method of directing. On a subconscious level, we have the ability to determine if someone's confidence is encapsulating the truth, or a lie. A mentalists however must not let their subject/s even approach the concept of questioning at that level.
One might say that a sociopath is a natural born mentalist.
Myself, I'm waiting for an update to the visual cortex-stimulating Dream Machines of the 1960s.
It's called AVS (Audio Visual Stimulation), also known as AVE (Audio Visual Entrainment). Basically, they're visual bio-feedback machines that use data from an EEG recorder. You can find many products online. I personally don't use them so I can't vouch for their build quality and/or effectiveness. At the very least, it's just snake-oil. At best, the placebo it provides is therapeutic.
Ultimately, human beings are capitol too. But in the business world, we often forget that we are still human and not simply drones milling out another paycheck. This spans everyone from the stressed out CEO to the local landscaping worker whom is self-employed. The problem isn't automation, but the pace of it. Technology, work flow processes, and culture changes all the time. Blacksmithing lead to the industrialization of materials. Farming lead to massive industrialized agriculture. Radio technology (tubes) lead to the development of the computer. When any one of us lose our job because of obsolescence, we are expected to adapt and pick another occupation. Unfortunately, rapid progression is outstripping our natural ability to maintain a manageable pace of life. The average human being can only change career paths so many times before the stress of unemployment kills us (and it does).
My advice. Don't strive for the money, but for a *reasonable* quality of life. If you find yourself happy, any extra money to save is just gravy. Our American culture of consumption needs to change. Not because we don't deserve it, but in fact we deserve it so so much that it's killing us in the process. A change in our personal priorities is needed.
Take any venue with large crowds. Stadiums, airports, clubs, concerts, etc. Now, place at least four or more of these Kinect devices all around the place. With specialized motion tracking AI, you can now capture video from multiple angles and tag individual people based on all the feeds being processed. Simply playback the captured video and rotate the entire venue with a track ball.
Can't find who shot who? Keeping rotating, you'll eventually find him and every detail about the clothes he wears. For an added bonus, install multi-point microphones to calculate location of the shot. Merge both media data sets and you'll find your suspect fairly quickly.
Over five years ago, I traveled with my now wife from Shanghai to Chongqing via train. The trip lasted several days, and were served boiling hot water in a large thermos. Tea, instant noodles, and self packed fruit was all we needed. There was no AC, but enough of a breeze passing through our bunk area was good enough.
One night about half-way through our journey, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling extremely nauseated. For some reason, I kept seeing flashes of light being reflected off the trees and brush at night. This all coincided at the exact same time our cars were rocking back and forth. Turns out, the wheels were sparking on the rails! I'm not sure how long it lasted through the night, but it must have been for hours I think. Something about that segment of track that was FUBAR. If the train were to ever de-rail, I'm sure it would be right in that area.
Fondly, that was the best time I've ever had. I was completely isolated from the rest of the word, and as far away from my Houston office as it gets. Detached, unplugged, and unavailable. It was total peace and blissful to the point of being spiritual.
Most likely they're using a collection of hacked Asterisk servers or other such IP PBX systems. They may have a "line", but I seriously doubt it was ever theirs to begin with.
One might think they would eventually hack websites and servers belonging to oppressive regimes (I will purposefully not name any examples). But no, they would rather punk on the defenseless.
I've often joked that a future China should be called UPC. United Provinces of China. Regardless, it's a Chinese problem. They'll have to figure it out on their own, God help them.
Here's another controversial stand I take. China is BIG, and should have been broken up into states and placed under one federal union. The political system would be much more stable under a democratic republic system. The controversy is that we already have a nation doing exactly that. America.
What are you talking about? The government, for all intents and purposes, owns these business (state sponsored). Not the other way around as found in America. You don't become head honcho of a large Chinese company without at least having some political ties back to the CCP. Either you're paying your mafia-esque dues to the CCP, or you're a bonified member of the party.
Don't say that. It's false hope. You don't know that for sure, and neither does anyone else. We still haven't cured the common cold. The best we can do is address the symptoms. Treating Alzheimer may involve just that as well. Treating the symptoms, but not the direct cause.

I'm glad you think New York is a safe place. Please stay there, don't move.

Not unless he gets shot before then. That man needs to be damned careful whom me peddles his shit to. Especially in New York of all places.

Now that HR is asking for the user/password to Facebook accounts from perspective job hunters, I can see how that might be a problem.

The Art of Deception. By Kevin D. Mitnick. It's worth reading.
I don't think you need to be virtuous in order to speak about virtue, however.
No, but it sure helps.

They might even find a cruise missile headed their way. Multiple of them, for each node associated in the attack.
Ok, so I'm kidding - a little. But the last thing you do is fuck with the feds. They will get their pound of flesh. That you can safely bet on.
