What can kill the project dead, dead, dead is if people with Windowz Skillz are allowed to pose as IT workers. Microsoft products have little to do with IT except that they are placeholders blocking legitimate, functioning protocols, formats, applications, and operating systems. The kind of slug that tries to make a living of of Microsoft products lacks the ability to analyze and solve problems. They're usually either rote memorization monkeys or sales marketeers.
You self-righteous bastard!
Let me clue you in on a few things. Most of the corporate worlds runs on Windows, and often in a complicated enterprise environment. Small businesses are either running a Windows SBS server, Google Apps, or stand alone machines in "workgroup" mode. To complicate matters even more, employees use PDA/Phones of all types with Linux servers, VMWare, and Apple computers thrown in the mix. I doubt you even work in IT, because if you did, you would know modern networks are now heterogeneous. The fact getting all this shit to play nice with each other requires a vast knowledge base and skill set. So ya, fuck you and the horse you rode on.
The HPC platform comes in two flavors. Server and desktop. I'm of the understanding that the HPC server is mainly used for quick post-processing of data. While real-time interaction with data is usually done on the desktop.
Corporation's don't have empathy or remorse, but individuals do. But for whatever bizarre reason, it's our collective actions within the corporation that produces this end-product behavior. It's pure, calculated, and with complete disregard for the individual. But, from the stand-point of another corporation on the receiving end, such behavior is completely and totally acceptable.
The interaction between the individual and collective is judged in the following way.
Corporation to corporation = acceptable behavior
Corporation to Individual (and vice versa) = unacceptable behavior
The dirty little secret however is this. We as a modern society cannot maintain our current way of life, progress, and technological advancement without the Corporation. Such social collective apparatuses are necessary to manage the many abstract layers of social interaction. If the social topology was flat/level, it would be rendered too chaotic to ensure stability. Thus, the interaction between the Corporation and the Individual is truly a "love-hate relationship" we continue to endure.
Well, if there's a time gap between when the shuttle retires and when its replacement arrives, you will want to keep some spare parts laying around. What if someone spots an big-ass asteroid hurtling our way? We will need something that can fly Bruce Willis up there and save the day.
Seriously?!! With timing issue and precision required by the GPU to interface with the rest of the system, do we really want it bridging over WiFi (60Ghz)? Of all the devices, this is one peripheral I'd want to leave with physical bus access (electron flow). That, and the CPU and RAM.
Given the way costs incurred by corporations are allocated, do you suspect that there are any ways of "getting the message across" whose cost to the company wouldn't end up coming out of their payroll, at least indirectly, if not directly?
Previously, I would be in an agreement with you. But after seeing how congress grilled Toyota, the CEO, and basically continued on with this witch hunt; not anymore. And here we are. Toyota now tarnished with a bad reputation, and dealerships that suffered.
The manor in which this was handled was unprofessional (political grandstanding) and completely out of line as far as I'm concerned.
There are better ways to get the message across. Telling automotive companies to audit the code properly is one way. But this, THIS cost jobs. Is that what we want, to bitch-slap peoples lives back to the unemployment line for no damn good reason?
I've got a Curve 8330 myself. Even though it has the latest OS (v4.5.0.175), it will still reboot on its own. Quite annoying. And yes, the processor is slow. I wish I hadn't updated Opera Mini. It's so damn slow, the mouse cursor skips all over the place. I will be dumping it for a Droid soon.
Ya, screw the laptop. But the real problem is that this fucker gets away with it! Is that what we want in society? Telling them it's ok, no harm done because insurance will cover it?
The problem with intellectuals, at least the more vocal ones, are that they're often hypocrites. They tell other people how to live their lives, but will never lead by example. Al Gore comes to mind. I mean, people like him (and his social bubble) are given a complete pass while he jets around the world and rides in a caravan of SUVs. Also, how much CO2 does that 9 million dollar mansion emit? Carbon neutral my ass...
The message of "do as i say not as i do" has always cast doubt into the hearts and minds of men. It's ageless.
And one who receives grants to study AGW. You don't dare provide data to prove otherwise. Because if you do, there's a very good chance you wont get another grant to study in this field. So naturally, the study of climate change becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Bad idea! You think censorship and line tapping is bad now? Wait till the Federal Gov runs the whole damn operation. The next "upgrade" money will be spent on with YOUR tax dollars won't be on broadband or maintenance, but on servers to data mine everything at the TCP/IP level. At that point, fuck everything that you want. You wont have a choice in that matter.
I can't say for sure, but my gut feeling is that China is genuinely trying to change to allow for more freedom. Last 20 years have proven that so far.
What most people don't realize is that with self re-enforcing totalitarian regimes, there's a lot of political and bureaucratic momentum that can take generations to blunt. No single person wants to put their head on the chopping block. But as a whole, I think most people in China want a more westernized system. You only get full democracies over-night with a revolution. But you won't get that with China. With this country, change will happen very slowly as it is now.
What I'm saying in short is this. If China was serious about maintaining an iron fist, Google would have been kicked out long ago! In fact, China is trying to tell the world "read between the lines". We want freedom, but we're sure as hell not going to make it obvious.
I'm not a chemist, but I would think volcanoes already release noxious gases into the atmosphere anyways. And unless it's ecconomically viable to recycle the small stuff, perhaps it's better to incinerate it anyways. Letting it lay around only to leach into ground water could be worse. Think of all the extra time, energy, and materials it would cost to care for the ill because of the stuff. Somewhere along the line, you have to make the call to either burn it, or attempt recycling.
With Bluetooth, you either had it or you didn't. After that, most users could give a rats rear end what the latest Bluetooth specifications are out there. If they get Bluetooth 4.0, it will be an "upgrade" when they replace their phone, buy a new car, or peripheral. Much in the same manor as cellphone camera. Meh, sure why not...
Ya, the message could have been made in a non-inflammatory tone. But agree with the overall message. Regardless of what "start-up" you plan on launching, it will still require a small amount of fuel to spark ignition. That's called Capitol Investment. It may be used to purchase rent, electricity, employees, and yes...licensing if that's a requirement to achieving your goal.
By what standard? This administration lies, covers shit up, and feeds people like you hopes and dreams. But in the end, it's the results that matter. So far, he's been an epic failure on many levels with regards to unifying races, classes, and fiscal policy. But to be fair, a great deal (if not more than) of the responsibility lays with Congress. Be he has veto power and chooses not to use it!
California also rank the the highest GDP (13% or 1.8 Trillion) of the US. Texas ranks #2 with 1.2 Trillion. New York ranks #3.
If California falls, the entire US will take a major hit. At least business in silicon valley are starting to move to Austin, TX. They see the hand writing on the wall. That, and UT is full of talented minds to feed the industry.

My years of playing Final Fantasy II taught me that casting an elemental spell on a creature of that element will GIVE IT LIFE! Don't do it!
Fair enough, but do you want to put your life on the line to test this theory? Eh?

Here's an idea. Why not use material good for one re-entry, then shed it to lighten the load? Perhaps an overlapping plate formation might work.

This question is more directed toward all you helio astronomers and astro physicists.
Could it be caused by a solar event? Say, something like a Mini Nova where the sun undergoes a cyclical "hiccup".

In New York, there's a service by Gum Busters that use a pressure washer, and special solution to clear sidewalks of the stuff.
I can'y say for sure, but I thought chewing gum was used the most in the 80s. Not sure if it's used all that much anymore.
If not, perhaps Icarus? j/k

Just Google "silicon valley move to austin". You're bound to pick up quite a few hits.
Here's a good article on the topic.
