One on each shoulder should easily give a 270 angle of view. Add a third in the neck collar and we can start working towards our robot policemen overlords.
Your math does not add up. A ticket Paris-NYC is roughly USD 700. The business class ticket is roughly USD 2200. The case solution you mention costs about USD 800, the monitors are USD 1000 each.So for the surplus of business class alone, you can buy a brand new cinema display every flight. Looks like you take the least economic option possible. But since you travel around the world first class carrying two cinema displays in tailored cases, you must be loaded. Right.
This, so much this.The question is not 'can you build an Office suite in 30 days', the question is, how much functionality can you deliver in 30 days, keeping it consistent, extensible and maintainable? Surely, I can build "Photoshop" in 30 days, even make it look the same. But will it be valuable software and an improvement over previous iterations? Deploy this kind of software in a large organization and watch hell unleash. This article says more about the ego of the developer.
If he smoked crack, he sure doesn't do it as a lifestyle, judging by his age, red face and surplus weight. It's more probable that these people used a double, picking clothes from pictures in the media, and are now trying to make a quick buck. Smartest thing to do for the mayor would be taking a drug test. Presuming he's innocent. And willing to open his medical record to the public.
Not for me. I rather buy my own favorite drink than having the choice between coke, diet coke, coke zero, sprite and soda water, and with that the occasional mention that the company provides 'all that' for you, one of their prized assets. Which feels similar to receiving a fumbled fiver after spending three hours to fix someone's computer problems.
I call BS. The original raid dungeons (MC, BRD, Scholo) were tuned horribly and were very easy to beat, to the point where you could do a 40 man raid with people in green and grey gear, and with 10-15 people afk. The difference was that there was no general knowledge on how to min/max, and that many things in the game were clouded in mystery. Which made up most of the fun for me. After they started announcing every change and mystery the game lost its appeal to me. We had to work hard to find out how to get attuned for a dungeon, then do a quest that lasted weeks to do so, and the reward was an easy boss for purples. They turned that completely, to the point where they announce the exact abilities of a boss in different difficulty modes, and one member moving an inch too much or a split second too late will fail the fight. SO either you perform the exact ballet as designed by Blizzard, or you can't win (or your account will be banned). In my eyes this is way too difficult for 'casual players' and no fun at all for 'hardcore ' players. At least, I don't enjoy practicing a virtual ballet all night with raging people on Ventrillo. During Cataclysm I found myself AFK in Stormwind all the time for days on end and decided to kick the habit. Been 'clean' for over three years ago now.
But that is the difference. These people were killed by the state because they did not conform. Like how Christians were thrown before the lions in ancient Rome. You may not agree (and I sure don't) but it being an official state policy makes it distinct from loose groups operating individually in a society to weed out all the (non-)believers, outside of any law. Of which there are many, especially in Africa and the Middle East , but as far as I know there is not one with an atheist signature.
Exactly. I hate it when some site first forces me to register, and then even has the balls to require a complicated password, assuring in the process that I won't become a returning visitor. My usual password strategy is that I use a one very simple password for all systems that cannot harm me in any way. Such as news sites, free games, etc. Who cares if anyone can post under my name. For paid-for stuff and sites I leave personal details etc, I use a strong password, with alternating user names. Then when I need access, I check my mail archive to retrieve the username and voila. But for the real deal, paypal, google, banking and my pc login, it's a whole different ballgame. Strong individual passwords, and I change them each time after use on an insecure network, or when switching projects. But there are only four of those. It's just a waste of brain cells to have to remember 100s of user names and passwords, and change them frequently too. And I do not trust external applications or plugins to remember them for me.
Some religious fanatics will kill you because you do not share their belief system. In their eyes you are not deemed worthy to live and their belief system encourages such acts. An atheist dictator will kill you because they are, well, dictators who don't give a rat's behind about your life, or because your religious institute threatens his powerbase. I have never heard of of a loose group of atheist fanatics beheading or burning people just because they believe in a deity. There is always some religious motive which makes them more worthy than another person, allowing them to personally decide on that person's life.
Did they patent the business method? I have been working through similar agencies for years, they charge $1-2 per hour to do the billing and get me new jobs. Nothing shocking here.
Actually, they are already paying massive amounts of money to keep the North calm, in food aid, bribes, joint industrial projects, and more. Most of that money ends up being spent on the military budget and maintenance of the party leaders and the royal Kim family. With them eliminated, there will be no need for such absurd military spending on both sides, so that will add up as well. Add to that the boom for the South Korean economy as they will get access to the massive unexploited resources of the North, and a massive increase in tourism, and I don't think they will suffer much more financial pain than they are already enduring.
Agree on c). Hot corners stink with large resolutions and with multiple monitors, especially when your mouse movement is set to ultrafast. Windows 8 (not RT) on a laptop with touchscreen however is really really good.
Apple is riding high now, and as we all know, pride comes before the fall. Apple WILL go down within the next two to three years and nobody will help them as they've been acting as a bunch of spoiled bullies for the last five years. They have not made a single friend in the tech industry.

Windows-d and then alt-f4 is even faster to shut it down.
I heard they are the Kervorkians of the animal kingdom. Now please sue me.
I'm sure companies such as Boeing, Oracle and Citibank wholeheartedly agree with this point of view.

I switched to Anno Online last week .. which is an amazing browser based flash game.
ok you had me scrolling there
Do you still write code, perhaps for fun?
Send in the drones!

At least they provide a longer data retention than guarantee on their products.
Actually it's in the Netherlands, rates vary between €0.75 to €2.50 for this agency for example, including insurance.
What does the Alaska Baseball League have to do with North Korea..?

You are assuming that the US military does not have stealth missiles.
