Until we get some kind of X-server and Window Manager with HTML as it's native display format, we're just pissing around the bush. The X server can be a clever multi-tab/multi-window Web Browser interface, and the X clients can all generate HTML to be displayed. Done. Can we all get over the browser wars now?
The one thing about technology is it starts expensive, gets cheaper and cheaper then a new breakthrough comes in and makes things more expensive and the cycle starts again.
The one thing about certified aviation electronics is that they generally DON"T get cheaper and cheaper. It's a limited market and the costs involved in certification are high.
this won't spell the end of private aviation, but don't think you'll get a transponder for $100 any time soon...
If Elon was smart, he would push for motors from America...
1) Elon IS smart. Probably smarter than either of us. 2) My pet peeve is that despite the publicity and global design and parts-bin, they're only selling domestically. America is a big market sure, but the World is a bigger one.
Many sites with a profile page include a salary range field. I tried one with and without seting my salary... Unsurprisingly, I got far more interest with that little piece of info there. Alternatively, include your house/benz/yacht/etc in the background of some of your photos. Hell, wear some decent clothes instead of jeans and t-shirt. Get some shoes and a nice watch. Get a haircut. Go to the gym. Most IT folks get paid a decent salary, so if you want that kind of girl, there's no excuse for not getting one if you advertise the right way.*
*Not that I'm suggesting eveyone should be looking for that type.
Nothing says we're professionals and have important information for you like a crooked illegible photocopy except perhaps a grade-school spirit duplicator. Expect funky light purple text next. The holy grail, of course, will be a wrinkled paper background that actually makes it look like they dug the web page back out of the trash and gave it to you.
I won't be impressed until they track your visits and gradually lighten the text in shades of brown, while yellowing the background as time between visits passes. A true old-school professional look akin to yesterday's thermal printers.
Could it be that it is, instead, is just light being pulled or pushed against something that is being observed, rather than an observation of the gravity that the body has?
Or maybe that's all gravity is. If light == energy == matter, then why not? Maybe gravity and this attraction are the same thing. Maybe we're "this" far from figuring out the notion of anti-gravity.
The only thing not to like is that the maps eventually get out of date, and that it's a separate cost.
The maps do get out of date, but it's not necessarily a cost. In fact, it's one of the reasons I bought a Garmin instead of the competition; You can make your own maps, with local knowledge and without being beholden to the manufacturer. Ref http://nzopengps.org/
why is it so hard for you to understand there are many models of the universe, there are those that have events before the big bang, including an endless sequence of big bangs.
This is indeed a branding exercise, but ruggedized phones are damn useful. I have a ruggedized Samsung after my RAZR died from water inhalation, and it's brilliantly dependable. It's no iPhone in terms of features, but I can drop it on concrete, use it in the shower, charge once every 2 weeks, etc. A phone is a tool to me, not a fashion accessory.
No, I imagine him reading a report on the product QA and saying, "Hey guys, this isn't shipping until we've closed the rest of the bugs" vs random exec saying "98% is fine - every product has issues! Lets sign-off, ship it, and meet the delivery dates to keep our distributors happy". I'm no Apple fanboi, but I suspect Jobs had more important things on his mind for some time before stepping out.
If this is what happens when Steve Jobs is absent from Apple for 6 months, I shudder to think what will happen when he's permanently gone. As arrogant and bone-headed as Apple can seem sometimes, there's no doubt it's lead extremely well.
There might be something in this. I've often wondered about the "leadership" of boards of directors and similar groups, and maybe this kind of thing shows that companies really do need to be lead by an individual, not a committee.
Still, I've yet to find a phone that doesn't do this.
Maybe the manufacturers need to realize that many users will user their devices as advertised, and not at the designed-for minimal usage patterns. Some people actually will stream a video, just like the ads say you can; they won't just make calls, take photos, and SMS their friends. Manufacturers need to reconsider their expectations for actual current draw, and include routines and hardware to check for excessive heat and runaway processes drawing too much juice.
Do it without the server, and install NOD32 antivirus on the clients, with NOD32 Remote Administrator to manage them. We put this system in recently and it's very very effective. Synchronized our antivirus product and definitions quickly, and reported infections that had slipped past the unmanaged installation on one machine (it hadn't been updated for a while...). No, you don't have to install it on a Windows Server OS (although we did).
I agree with the sentiment, but in a business context, I think that means we're doing it wrong.
Production software *should* be boring, and rigorous... and correct. Now, I know this has all been hashed out before, and it's one reason why we ended up with Agile methodologies, but very very very little of what we do needs to be clever, or innovative. Despite what we think, most of us aren't smart enough to build clever AND reliable software, so we end up crafting things rather than truly engineering them. Those of us who ARE smart enough probably aren't working on projects with enough budget to take the time to do so.
A plane that blows up in the air will be scattered on the ground (or water), but a plane that is intact tends to have a very small spot on the ground depending on the angle of impact. So far nothing has been found which indicates a small spot.
It looks like the pilots flew where their weather radar told them they shouldn't which resulted in severe turbulence (check how the FAA defines that one) and the computer didn't cope with the holes in the airframe and other issues which resulted in a high speed, mostly intact controlled flight into wet terrain.
Perhaps you're thinking of FAA "Extreme Turbulence", but you make a good point.

I am a UAV pilot
No offense, but if you don't die when you fuck up, you're an operator, not a pilot.

I stand corrected. Last time I looked at their site, they weren't selling overseas, and IIRC you could only get it serviced in California.

The public doesn't demand anything. They just get what they're given and complain if they don't like it.
If you have anything resembling standards, dating is really, really fucking hard.
Especially if she has standards too.
In the salary cheque that is.

Too many parents just let their kids run rampant because they don't want to exert the effort to set and enforce boundaries.
New Zealand is particularly bad for this now. "Parents are telling truancy officers that they don't know how to make their children go to school because they can no longer smack them."
It also sounds like a good way to sell large numbers of NAS and backup systems.

Endless does not necessarily imply no beginning.

Any chance we're going to get a new dinosaur out of this? I don't know about you, but I've been preparing to go to Jurassic park since I was 13.
Since you were 13? Wow. You must be very good at running and screaming by now.
Half of the geeks have inteligence below the median inteligence of the geek population.
