Good to hear that. There is a lot of love and respect for HP among nerds. They do great work and have excellent engineers. If only they found the management and board to match the quality of their engineers, HP will be great.
It can but the difference here is that most Americans don't read so it's not an issue. The point of the graph isn't about being categorical; it's not saying that if you play on a PlayStation you'll be fat. It's saying if you spend most of you non-sleep time in front of a TV and not moving about while eating a ton of high calorie food, you will be fat. This is why they have numbers associated with each category.
To paraphrase Patton the general or the movie: a soldier's duty isn't to die for his country; it's to make the poor dumb sons of bitches on the other side die for his.
This kind of attack can happen really fast, too fast for a human to respond to. Perhaps a machine would respond. While we're at it, why limit ourselves to fighting them in cyberspace? Let's take out their physical infrastructure. We don't want to put human soldiers in the way so let's use robots and drones. We'll need to control it all with good sight lines. Let's control them from the sky with a network.
I feel so betrayed. This must be how Tassadar felt when Aldaris arrested him upon his return after discovering the key to slaying the Overmind. It is as though I am Kerrigan abandoned by Acturus Mengsk to be captured by the Zergs. Today I am Jim Raynor, a warrior cut loose from his own people.
You say that as though somehow using a phone is an integral part of driving. Guess what. A couple of decades ago very few people had phones and they drove fine without them. What is so damn hard about not chatting away or doing something else while directing a multi-ton vehicle? If you really need to talk, pull over, stop the vehicle, and carry on with your conversation. You say it as though we can't easily pull over. People pull over all the time on the highway for emergencies such as flat tires. You don't need special flat tire changing areas to stop your vehicle. If the conversation is not important enough for you to do that, then wait and talk later.
Isn't this just a really fast surface to surface missile? The operational range is 1/10 of a Tomahawk. How is this any different from a short range ballistics missile, other than the trajectory? I don't mean to criticize an impressive achievement but I foresee it being very different in use from something like a Tomahawk. A Tomahawk can be fired from a huge standoff range and hit its target. With this missile, the attacker has to get relatively close to its target, thus making it vulnerable to defenses. A big part of the value of a cruise missile is that the attacker can stay relatively safe. I think this weapon is much more defensive in nature and this is perhaps a reflection of India's strategic outlook.
Minor correction but someone making such a low wage won't be paying any Federal taxes. You have to make a certain amount before they kick in. On the plus side, you might even be eligible for some benefits.
Good thing they go by their acronym anyways. Now they can be "Indian Business Machine" and don't have to spend a dime updating their logo! How convenient.
"I love how people are eager to describe it as "Steve threatening to sue" when I see it as Steve showing an industry colleague the respect they deserve and picking up the phone himself to make a personal, direct call to provide advance warning and give the other company the chance to remedy the problem before the lawyers are unleashed."
Yes I always appreciated the bully saying "Give me your lunch money, nerd" before actually punching me in the face and then taking my lunch money. The robber who said "Hand over your wallet" is such a friend.
Wait, you really think that the reason there are poor and hungry people in this country is because we don't grow enough food here in the US? Seriously? We export our food! It's not a technological problem here in the US.
So usually these technology don't progress without the corresponding technology acting in response. Has radar or any detection technology made any progress in detecting stealth aircraft? Just curious.
They did also mention that the base get 16,500 condoms a year. It gets cold and lonely there in Antarctica with nothing else to do except for each other.
Composite has been used in aerospace well before cycling. The 787 is the first all composite airliner but other aircraft have used composites in various parts well before that. Military aircraft such as the B2, F-22, and F-35 are composite aircraft.
I think you know little of how waiters work then. They already don't declare their tips fully. Most of them don't and they already know that they won't be caught so the situation is no worse in either case.
Your point isn't bad but I think if you were the type that have serious finances to hide, you wouldn't be the type that would volunteer that kind of information regardless of pre-filled or not. What I mean is that under the current system, you wouldn't reveal that information anyways if you had gone out of your way to hide it.
It's however much you are willing to pay for the game. Done.
Seriously. One of the beautiful things about economics and capitalism is this principle of encapsulating the value of something with a price. Different people look for different virtues in an object. You might think time played is the correct measurement but a long game that goes bad in the end might be less valuable to me than a good, short and fun game. It's all relative but we can all get to common unit of worth through by stating the price.
If after $30 for the game and playing it, you regretted it, then it was worth less than $30. If you were happy about it, then it was worth more than $30 to you. What the game can sell for in a free market is what it is worth. That's the beauty of a free market. It's not just an exchange for goods and services, it's a good information discovery tool.
Well except for the case of information/software where the marginal cost is basically zero. Once you've written the story, article, software, or music, the next copy is essentially free to reproduce. I'm not saying that should drive your business model though but there are cases when free can be good too.

Since when did the "Indian Business Machine" cared about America? When there is government contracts to be won by scare-mongering?

It seems our friends in Russia have learned the virtues of capitalism and monopolies.
Pretty sure religion is man made too.
Isn't "Undercover Anti-Pirates" another way to say "Ninja"?
Alright, alright! I'll say "uncle!". You win uncle Bill. I'll go back to using IE. No need to go nuclear on us.

Excellent point. Instead of "up to", they should make claims like "at least". Then that's substantial.

I can almost feel your frustration at being an expert in a crowd of Slashdot self-appointed experts. Thanks for the post and insights.
