oh i understand that it can eventually eliminate dairy clerks, but only once people are comfortable with robots moving amongst them autonimously (automating shelf stocking is much harder than tasks like assembly line production, in a store there is alot of variability in what you encounter, asshat customers putting stuff back in the wrong place (so the robots would have to be able to pick up merchandise at weird angles and recognize when a container is damaged.
not really, most of our Time is spend putting stuff on the shelf or cases, the RFID tags would reduce shrink. Dairy is already handled by either one or two clerks.
'Cos I don't. Seems like a huge waste of money to me in the first place
You haven't worked in retal or distribution have you? I work as a Supermarket dairy clerk, and RFID would make my jod a hell of a lot easier, being able to hold up a scanner to the shelf and know exactly how many of each expiration date of $PRODUCT would eliminate shrink due to misrotated product, as well as having the POS and receiving systems integrated so i could get a quick printout of A) What is currently low on the shelf B) What items on the shelf are Expired C) What items are near their expiration date
not to mention the reduction of warehouse errors and saving time checking what actually came in on each load.
well you shouldn't type a paper over the network, type the document in a simple text editor locally then paste to $OFFICE_APP_OF_CHOICE over the network once you are done (or paste locally if the software is available then save to remote machine
The Mathematica kernel is just a "core system" Just like the linux or windows kernels are the core system, I did not intend for it to seem like it was it's own O/S. The matematica Kernel is rather similar fundamentally to an OS kernel, except rather than running linux software on Hardware, it runs Mathematica software on top of a windows or linux system
I have a radeon 9700 pro, 2 HDD's (WD1000 and WD2000, 100 and 200 gigs @7200RPM) Athlon XP 2200+
all running inside a rather small eMachines Case (newer design case, with vents along the bottom edge of the removable left panel) all the heat seems to flow out nicely from the PSU fan alone
well actually a smart employer would get buisness class broadband for their top techs, usually during an outage the consumer level connections are the last to be fixed while buisnesses are given immediate response on problems, even at a lower data rate the improved reliability is important.
i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to do, i am also sure that they don't do it. and no they couldn't supply lower power to the port, since that could harm the Keyboard (or simply cause the keyboard to not send any signal whatsoever)
you go right ahead and plug in/ unplug PS/2 devices while the system is running, and make a note of that habit on your warrantee cards as well... not often but sometimes it trashes the motherboard, the BIOS mfgr would never deliberately instruct the user to perform a potentially damaging action.
my friend had an old machine with bios that did print error: Keyboard not detected, press enter to continue
I beleive it wasn't so much a stupid error as a funny side effect, nearest i could tell the bios had different values for different errors, since some errors are critical and cause bootup to fail (lack of bootable device, failing memory, etc. and oters are not critical but get a notification, and when putting the no keyboard error in it was set as a non-critical error, which prompts for a keypress, just like a missing mouse.

3)Don't get speeding tickets
I think the stuff reflects the microwaves back through the food, to effectively double the cooking speed.

Would there be draconian restrictions on who can board the subway?
Don't give 'em any ideas
IE operates much the same way a sewer grate does
full of holes that let shit get through?
In X, the server runs on the client, while the clients run on the server
Mind if i steal that and put it in my sig?

well matlab is nothing compared to mathmatica, mathmatica is a truely amazing program/kernel (yes, it does run it's own kernel)

no need for software, set the modem to dial random frequencies on all blocked calls
beige box? sort of like the $2.00 splitter radio shack sells but more 1337 i assume
Fuck 'em, if it's an 800 number just call it and leave the phone off the hook for a few hours, repeat on random payphones.

no person would, but a modem wouldn't mind doing it over a day or two
