Title says it all;) Just imagine a scroll with one rod containing the logic and the other battery power. Pull them apart and unroll a huge electronic "blue print" or other architecture drawings...complete with zoom and 3D functions too.
Just as the Telco industry now provides Internet access and TV programming over an RJ11 cable, so too will the Oil industry change.
Think about it... What is the biggest industry in the world? That would be ENERGY. I would bet my last dollar that rather than Royal Dutch (Shell Oil), BP, or Exxon disappear they would reinvest into other means of providing energy.
It wouldn't be surprised to find the Exxon logo painted on the side of a fusion reactor plant in the near future to be quite honest. It's that, or go out in a puff of smoke along with the last remaining drops of oil on the planet.
the current DVD format is not HDTV spec. While some of the newer players can up-convert the output to 480p, 720p, and 1080i, the original DVD source is not HDTV spec.
This would be like taking the RF (coax) signal from my Atari 2600 game system and up-convert it to S-Video. While I might get a more stable imagine for the TV to work with (depending on the hardware doing the up-converting), the resolution of the source still sucks ass.
It's the fee or "tax" needed to pay for all the DRM servers and it's bandwidth. I mean, it's going to take a lot of money to setup a DRM infrastructure to monitor and deactivate "hacked" PS3s.
You better cut this crap out about the "Noodle". If people like you are not carefull, this joke could get twisted into a fact. Books will be written, the faith will be preached...and soon in 1,000 years we will be fighting over Noodle religion vs Ramen tribalism.
What if you have ingress on the line at some of those frequencies you mentioned? Will the modem be smart enough not to use those frequencies until the problem is corrected? Or, will it just keep that band open and attempt to perform CRC correction?
Let not forget the total breakdown of law enforcement. Not that I blame them really. If I was in that enviroment wearing a badge and surrounded by thugs, I would shit my pants too...twice even.
But seriously, give me a fucking gun and let me go in there. I may be stupid as fuck for doing that, but I'm as full blown of a vigilante as they get. Call it civil war, call it what you want. But NO ONE rapes and murders for pleasure and gets away with it as far as I'm concerned!!
I say we just abandon New Orleans if the damage is too extensive to rebuild. Basically, call it Americas "chernobyl" and move on. Ya, there are fond memories in that city...but sometimes it's best to not fight nature. Just leave it be. But up a memorial, rebuild refineries in other areas...but slowly, just walk away from it.
I doubt this will happen, but it would be better in the long run then supporting a city BELOW see level.
You get a tax break if you are approved a patent, so I've been told. In fact, I'm curious to know how involved the CFO of a company is involved in how many patents they wish to have filed.
I agree. And I've said on Slashdot countless times over and over again. Government should server the individual people that elect our politicians to run it. As such, Government should stay out of the affairs of a free economy which includes doing away with subsidization all togeather.
Too bad I'm just shouting in the wind...or so it feels like it.
Seriously though, they might put up a fight if the government starts forcing islamic laws further down their throat. I mean, who doesn't want liberty and freedom? The desire for it is basically a give-in. Except, the more power you give to the people, the less power the government has left. Now...who governmental control is going to give up such addiction to power. Well, it's never going to happen without a fight. History has proven this time and time again. It's called a revolution.
Well then, your an idiot. Why? Because you lean on government or another corporation for your needs. Honestly, it shouldn't be that way. If you don't like it, live on a farm and milk your own damn cows. But if you don't like how others milk cows for you, then STFU!!!
2. We should have to use Unions. But now we have to because "Big Government" can't keep it's god damn hands out of a free ecconomy. In other words, Microsoft can go fuck themselves. This man is free and can walk anytime he wants. Hell, I will say he is free to what he learned from Microsoft and go else where.
But, this wont happen now that the legel system is so tied in with corporate activities.
You laugh, but this is EXACTLY what is happening with the youth of Iran. Western culture through Sat TV, music, and other forms of entertainment is exposing them to a form of individuality. In fact so much so, it could a generational civial war Iran of pro-westerners and the die-hard Islamic movement.
Interesting what a little tit-exposing-TV will do. I for one....LIKE IT:-P
That's is more or less what I'm saying. It's NOT a zero-sum game. In fact, what I am saying is that it's better for the ecconomy as a whole to not prevent the exportation of jobs overseas. As a resault of the global economy, we also have insourcing in this country too.
While I agree that what is happening with American companies outsourcing is highly unethical at first sight. But the more I think about this and look back on history, the more I'm starting to see that America has been spoiled with a quality of life far beyond what should normally have been. This is in part to the tapping of cheap labor.
Now fast forward today... We have international travel and instant communicans that it makes globalism that much closer to home. As such, the process of outsourcing (and insourcing too) is what happens when you reach a point of achieving Global-Economic-Equilibrium. As each country demands higher pay for the services they are selling, you simple re-outsource to Africa, Mexico, Asia...etc untill the cost of their services equals that of what can be bought in America.
Now you might think this really *sucks*. But let me ask you something. Would you rather force to keep jobs in America so you can buy your next "X-Box"? Or, would you rather the jobs be offered to 10 people in your place that just wish to have clean water and shelter over their head? In retrospect, I now know what the ethical choice should be.
Basically to sum things up, we Americans and Europeans are spoiled and don't realize just how good of a life we have it. Untill the rest of the world catches up in skills and industry and thus demand higher wages themselves, expect the 1st world to stagnate for some time. Keep in mind this will only be a temporary event that might last for 20+ years from now. However, the fostering of free enterprise does alow for democrocy at the same time which should make for a safer and more peaceful world.

Don't worry, someone will fuckup and send a shipment of Beavertooth chainsaws to Mars.
1. Find a computer geek
2. Yell and beat the computer geek into submission to do your computer work.
3. The geek does the interfacing with the PC and not you.

NO!

The patent office. In fact, it's their first patent ever filed.
Patent #0. Stupidity.
