That sharp move down is known as a trap move. The sharp move down prompted price chasing idiots to sell it off at the lows of the day, which is a very very amateur move.
Now they are trapped right down the bottom of the spike. Watch as the market gets the hell away from that price point.
Rule 1 of currency trading: Economic news is bull. It's either used to mislead a trader before they pull the trigger on a trade, or it's a pathetic excuse they give you after they've yanked your money. "'temporarily pause on all withdrawal requests to obtain a clear technical view of the currency processes" sounds like the latter kind of BS.
Yeah sorry traders, we just had a technical hiccup.... SLURP! YOU LOST YOUR MONEY THANKS FOR PLAYING
Three fat red bars on the chart going down, followed by a doji that's just waiting there for people to jump on board. Looks like market manipulation... look for the reversal set up.
No you're probably right. A book called "The Manipulated Man", written by a woman, even suggested that women only go to university to meet eligible men, and not necessarily study. Additionally women perform better than boys in junior school, but this academic excellence enters entropy later in her life when she hits puberty and discovers that by being stupid and cute, boys will buy her things that she would otherwise work for.
So yeah, you could say that they show up to technical conferences for other reasons.
Japanese companies have tried stuff like this before, but not so that bosses can harass their employees.
Have YOU ever worked in a Japanese company before? No?
Well I have worked in a few, and I'll tell you, while there are good and bad ones, the majority would LOVE to harass their employees into staying later, working harder, and sacrificing their salary. Then tell them that they're no good, and lucky to even have a job with them, and if they left the company it would be like a betrayal of trust.
Call up a Japanese headhunter, they could tell you a few stories. They told me quite a few.
Absolutely... but Oracle have a case with other people redistributing their Solaris patches. I'd say that they've got a legitimate right to the proprietary code that they own.... and Linux is GPL, so that's not a conflict of interest for Oracle. Their goal is "profit at all costs" anyway. That's the only ideology Oracle understands.
On the other hand, it really says something about Oracle's "support", if other companies are providing updates for Larry's "Yacht OS" and are winning significant contracts.... to the point where Oracle wants to fight them over it.
Until I can pay my TAXES in BTC, then BTC will always be a niche currency, whose value is only in the system that enables money transfer...... but no government will allow taxes in BTC because.... ta-da!.... they have their own currency!....and as long as government can control the exchange of bitcoin to government currency, then they control whether bitcoin ever catches on in any Fed, IMF, World bank crushing ways.
I (perhaps stupidly) used a lot of the WD green drives in a RAID file server that doesn't stay on 24/7 or get turned on all that often. Yes I know that WD greens are not designed for RAIDs... but I digress. It seems that they mostly fail when the hard drive electronics fails on them, and then the drive controller on my mainboard can't detect the drives on power up. One day the drive is working fine, and the next day the BIOS can't tell that there's a drive there!
I've always suspected that Seagate drives would die sooner than the other drives because I've noticed that they run MUCH hotter than the other two brands.
Where I once saw kids play Mario on a Nintendo DS, today I see kids play Minecraft of iPads.
Apple crushed Nintendo by creating iOS devices and opening up it's platform to indie devs for a minimal fee. If I wanted to start coding for Nintendo.... how would I do it, and how much would I have to pay in licensing? I have no idea, and I wouldn't know where to look. It would seem easier to go for the tablet ecosystem that most people have and is more easily accessible. I think not only did Apple destroy the Nintendo casual market with iOS devices, but also through leeching potential developers.
Also, if I were Nintendo, I would be grovelling to get Mojang to port Minecraft over (Mojang says that they're "too busy"). So far..... nothing... and it's so stupid as to why not because the game is really something Nintendo should have been able to create, and it's a perfect fit for the system. It's just a shame too that with all Nintendo's game dev talent, this something as much fun hasn't eventuated from them, and it's been Mario after Zelda after Donkey Kong.
Nintendo is also locked itself out of the hardcore market for this gen too. So unless they want to make a Super-Duper Nintendo like in the 16-bit war days and compete again, they're going to lose gamers there.
All Nintendo has left is good game devs and some great IP.... and perhaps more trust with parents than the Apple kids-ingame-payments-debarcle has done to Apple's platform.
I doubt the utilities would like this, but for the average home dweller with solar panels it would be useful.
Or we could use the battery in cars, so that while we charge our car in it's garage, when the sun goes down, it can power the house back the other way.
Hypnosis is nothing other than an elegant description of a process.
I think it's interesting that as you find yourself looking at this screen, and focusing in clearly to these words you are reading.... you remember a time when you felt very VERY tired... maybe after a long work meeting or after staying up late working on a paper.... What you become to notice is that you are slowly find your eyes relaxing deeply,..... and as you become aware that your mind is slowing down and your mouth widens and begins to yawn... you feel your eyes are closing as you drift off to sleep....
Oracle didn't have much of an advantage to begin with. On a list of companies that develop Linux, they aren't even in the top ten (with Red Hat being #1).
What they've tried to do is build their own "UEK" kernel, and load it as default into what is essentially a whitebox build of RedHat Enterprise Linux. this UEK kernel contains a bunch of extra goodies (like OCFS2 and ASM, and Ksplice) that assist Oracle database and application stacks to install seamlessly -- if you can call any Oracle Installation "seamless"! -- without having to load in any extra RPMs and manage them.
Oracle used to provide "supported" RPMs to RedHat... but they've since stopped the practice, and are leaning more towards pushing customers to migrate to their Linux distro -- supposedly as an attempt to leech RedHat's support licences.
The only people suffering as a result of this are Oracle's customers, who actually liked Red Hat's support - and are now getting the shaft.... and for what? So Larry can get some more money to buy a new yacht?
Red Hat support can be worth it when you don't want to scour the internet for a solution to changes made between RHEL5 and 6 for example - and just asking a Red Hat tech support guy will be a lot quicker. Some organisations see value in that, aside from the obligatory "point of blame" when things go wrong. Solving problems quickly saves time AND money in various business scenarios, where downtime equals lost profits. YMMV however.
Some info on the finer points of using RedHat simply aren't available on-line, much less will you have anyone to chat with you about them if you are scouring blogs.
Furthermore, RedHat support is actually good, compared to say, Oracle... who despite their thinly veiled attempts to try and eat RedHat's lunch and cut their grass, have pretty horrid support all around. I know orgs that run Oracle applications on RedHat just for RedHat support (despite Oracle's attempts to hijack their own customers on RedHat in an attempt to move them to Oracle Linux)
In addition RedHat does the lion's share of development for the Linux kernel, and other companies with distros that leech from RedHat would likely know less about the dev and design decisions in their own distros that they claim to support.

Mining for bitcoins actually donated processing time to Folding at home and SETI... so instead of getting virtual currency for wasting compute cycles, we'd probably cure cancer and contact aliens instead.

I pressed dents into my old ZX81 keyboard until it stopped working.
Then I used the ZX81 as a door wedge.

Well there's a nice fat pin candle on the daily chart, I'd say it'd be worth trying to get in.

An article like this brings out the economics nerds, and trading nerds.... with a healthy dose of conspiracy nutjobs.

Electric cars parked at home getting their batteries charged, and then using that charge (or some of it) to feed back into the house.
