A couple of things that made "The Dish" look very realistic despite the plot never happening (it all went off like clockwork with no crisis). 1/ The building is on the edge of the site so just pointing the camera the right way is enough to make it look the same as in 1969. 2/ When looking for a computer about the right age for a prop they found the original one that was used in Parkes in 1969, still in working condition!
Of course it's "do-able" or it used to be when the supply chain was all in a local area. Parts of California and Texas would still come close to being able to do that. Foxxcon provides a major chunk of the process without Apple having to plan things out and sold it as a package instead of Apple having to do a lot of logistics themselves. Germany manages to do a lot of manufacturing despite high labor costs because when it comes down to it if high labor costs add to a significant chunk of the cost of the product you are doing far too much manual handling.
Nobody said that there was not earlier incompetence. If we are going to go back as far as Carter his inability to put the blame on others and his decision to let the former Shah of Iran into the country, resulting in a huge ongoing shitstorm that lost him the Presidency, showed he could not play the political game as slickly as an accomplished actor like Reagan.
The "HughPickens.com writes" should be enough warning for everyone.
I'm sure there is a real story on this topic which is interesting on many levels but this isn't it. So many things about this make it look like back of the envelope scrawling in a bar just before deadline. File it with all the "toothing" casual sex hookups that were a media thing but never appeared to have actually happened as written.
And I was still not even slightly prepared for the direction it took
It looked to me that they were saying pokemon was evil beyond redemption for having pictures of "demons" but a self declared actual former "demon summoner" should be respected and believed without question. Beyond the far side of crazy and not what most people would even associate with the fringes of a religion.
Extra threads do not consume more power, unless those threads are actually doing work
Yes. They are preemptively keeping pages up to date in case the user clicks on that tab. Not a bug but a choice which is fine on a desktop but sucks running on batteries.
which are clear signs that you're either lying or that you're having a bad case of cognitive dissonance
I have also experienced that as have many others as you should know if you have been supporting MS Office for a long period of time. I have a VM with MS Office97 on it and another with the version from 2000 to deal with legacy documents that fail with the current version mostly for macro related reasons. Others I have recovered information enough information from using "strings". Others I've just opened up in open/libreoffice. If you look at web forums you'll see I'm not the only one.
free alternatives are better and that they even open Word documents that Word cannot open
No he is actually correct. It appears it was a low priority for MS to support some earlier versions of their file formats so we've ended up with the situation where another application still supports something abandoned by Microsoft.
I don't think he thought about it. "Mission Accomplished" was to be a popular wartime President with a war happening on the opposite side of the world to where the voters lived. Winning or losing was going to be somebody else's problem after his second term.
The problem is that those alternatives suck compared to the original
Seriously? Have you used star/open/libreoffice any time since 1998 and compared it with things like the graphing and various arbitrary limits in MS Excel for example?
better user experience than Microsoft Office is a zealot or an idiot
Or they just prefer the different interface, different defaults or the different way it handles things like graphing. Are people really "zealots" to prefer the old MS Office interface with a menu or the libreoffice with a menu to the new flat and tabbed MS Office with IMHO a vastly inferior "user experience". It's certainly more time consuming than the menu interface. I've got a lot of users that LOVE MS Office and would never consider using anything else but HATE the Win10 flat interface even though they have got used to the ribbon.
The old old old lesson being ignored here is that if you have multiple people working on something with very a very complex and obfiscated file format you use EXACTLY the same software. Using MS Office95 when others used MS Office97 resulted in fuckups - rinse and repeat all the way up to the current version of MS Office.
If you come in contact with such files you need something in the place with the same version as the people who wrote it because it's not always backwards compatible either. PDF was supposed to solve that but for some reason people keep sending invoices in a format where it's easy to write in your own price.
And I would imagine that it also helps that Apple is the only U.S.-based cellphone manufacturer
Foxxcon makes stuff in the USA and not China? Your "point" is actually a major disadvantage to Apple and everyone else who does not manufacture in the USA.
When graphics gets in the mix or a lot of hardware needs to be talked to at once the workload gets very parallel. Think about how much of a pain it would be to have something like Pokemon Go run in a single thread when you've got camera input, overlay and positional information and not a lot of time to put it all together without a user complaining about lag when they move the phone.
IMHO it was IBM being IBM and deciding to charge what they thought the market would bear with what they thought was a captive customer with no other options. Apple got out when the cost was worse than the benefits. I tried to get some Cell stuff at one point via a ridiculously long process before I even got a price. IBM effectively priced themselves out of the market with that unless you just had to have a Cell CPU instead of about six of something else for the same price.
The UID game is usually stupid but this time it says it all:( After a bit more time in the workplace you will meet other managers that do not fit your ideal.
A common sales trick is to compare a competitors budget model with the specs of your own model set for release next year - or a similar goalpost shift.
Turnbull is working on that. A US style healthcare system would make a lot of middlemen who did not have to do the hard work of getting a medical qualification very rich.
Here's an idea - let's use those laser but safely contain them within glass fibres with the advantage of getting better range and more than line of sight!
You can tell the idea in the summary came from a software company and not a hardware company. Reinventing the wheel as a square thing made of rock.
There was a lot of backchannel communication between the "different companies" that ensured the "right bid" succeeded and the state government would get a lot of revenue. Blatant government corruption was ongoing and a very large chunk of the budget of the section I was working for was siphoned off into the pocket of a real estate developer who was a good Party member - without the head of the section being aware of it until it had gone then finding there would be trouble meeting payroll obligations because of it. A lot of very stupid shit was done on the generating side for entirely artificial reasons. I decided it was time to go and work elsewhere, although I did come back and consult during a few shutdowns. Very much fake competition. Consider how gas was suddenly not available for a mysterious reason and then available when the spot price went through the roof in the current situation. One time may be a coincidence, but there is a lot of stuff going on which is now being investigated.

You don't have to guess and you've got it hilariously wrong - imagining Hugh Pickens as a hipster woman!

You are learning grasshopper. That means none of them have the home team advantage, to be sure to be sure.
Yes that instead of what I wrote. On linux with top or ps you can see a large number of chrome processes if you have a few tabs open.
Yes.

Iraq should have been his choice but I think he was led by the nose by others instead of attempting to do his job as President.
I don't think he thought about it.

Also Apple is Irish to be sure.

Chrome has a thread per tab. The price of that performance improving choice is your battery life.

It's 18% because health is a side benefit of an insurance system.
