Really, though, the same could be said of any company that size and age. Very large companies nearly always, over time, develop into unwieldy mega-bureaucracies, comprised of individual fiefdoms solely concerned about their own headcount and perceived influence. They become microcosms of nations. They have well-defined class structures, their own culture, sometimes even their own currency internally.
Yes, but that's why Google "allegedly" has a flat hierarchy.
Still, it doesn't need LINUX, maybe something else
Also, this kind of pacemaker should be split into two parts: one that "keeps beating" unless it receives coherent instructions from the other module, that can understand EEG, do the fancy math, etc, etc.
Gone are the days when you can charge $5000 for 3 logo concepts when some college student is happy to spend 2 hours cranking out a concept in his spare time for the chance at winning $269 - the price quoted on the 99designs logo design page.
Then go ahead and do that! Except you get what you pay for.
Disclaimer: I've been close to the results of both approaches (not 99designs, it was something else)
From the crowdsourcing site you get a nice drawing
From the 5k for concepts you get: -concept that's a close fit for your needs -"tech docs and support" (yes, you need it) - a visual identity for your product/company
So yeah, go ahead and do it. Or you can ask your nephew who's good at Corel Draw to make something for you for $10, that's even cheaper.
And let me ask you something, do you think the AA logo was done in 10 minutes? twitter's? facebook's?
Whereas BP would be happy for a mass extinction event meaning they wouldn't have to pay the fine, also meaning more oil in tens of million years from now.
Funny enough, in my university there were ZERO TI Calcs, we would all be in HP48/HP48+ and beginning to see the 49s... (not in US, as you may have guessed)
But I've seen TI calcs (in France), people would use TI-92s and entry-level models, still, there was one HP48 in my class there.

Makes sense... Still, I'd guess they would ban the 'fancy' calculators.
At the same time, people would not check the fact that some people had entire tests solved on their 48G+ (I had the 48G)
And even then, if I want to hack it, I'd go for a Palm or software in an iPhone/ Android. The processor and raphics in these things runs circles around calculators.
I understand for some occasions (tests, etc) it has to be a calculator, but I doubt it would be allowed to run modified software.

Actually the dust devils are GOOD for the mission, cleaning the solar panels
Not to mention managing 20 landers at the same time
Also, yes, the 2nd, 3rd is cheaper, but you still need one rocket per lander (which is an important part of the price tag)
You're right: "Cold fusion AS REPORTED"
But you're probably right, unless we see dead guys in a lab (unfortunately) it's either too little power or not working.
Unless we're missing something
As opposed to hot fusion which is real and practical just needs another 10 billion dollars... again
Reminds me of that joke about scientists in Anchorage discovering a room-temperature superconductor :P
lots and lots of film in 3D, James Cameron needs a new private island
Because...
If there's no evolutionary pressure on a feature, either way, then it can either stay or disappear.
I'm guessing SJ is not doing that, not for all the money in the world.
Or maybe they're saving up to do exactly that!

I prefer C++ to Java but I agree with both bashings
It's called Andrew Morton
I guess you could have (redundant) electric heaters for that
Or change the salt mixture, maybe something that goes "sludge" instead of becoming solid
You forgot that for most of the time, pacemakers were just simple electronic circuits with a fixed beat rate.
But it's ok, if your RT Java powered pacemaker leaves you dead, all the better, stupidity should be a capital offense anyways.

No
WIth the exception of ATMs (and some radar guns) I wouldn't even bother with an OS
And that's GOOD. I DON'T want anything more complex than a couple (ok, 100) of lines of code in my pacemaker, thank you very much
It doesn't NEED to be more complex than that, and it SHOULDN'T
I wish I had mod points, you hit the nail on the head
You should stop playing Doodle God

often developing several candidates for consideration or being pitted against other designers.
for a fee...
You have clearly not seen anything close to what these guys have seen.
Sorry, I'm not giving examples.
So I guess when you go to the supermarket the cash register performs binary operations over a field for you...
Try plotting a Root locus graph on a 48GX
I know, the batteries on these things runs almost forever, still, it's way underpowered for some things.
The software is great but it could be a tad better (and the 49's had a better processor, EMULATING the older processor)
Whereas BP would be happy for a mass extinction event meaning they wouldn't have to pay the fine, also meaning more oil in tens of million years from now.
(cue the abiogenic theorists...)

Go for HP then. (learn RPN!!)

Time for discreet calculators is almost over.
