I'll be we have a pandemic spread by airliners before we have an energy crisis. Post-pandemic we won't have nearly as much need for energy & a lot of other items.
Early, often and continuous maternal contact, speaking and other interactions are shown to help development measurable in a variety of ways from ages as short as the first 6 months. This is no longer a surprise.
If MS had wanted to start a new division for mobile devices, it had the cash to do it. Mundie's excuse doesn't cut it.
If what he is saying is that he and Balmer are so much of a micromanagement team that they couldn't handle one more project and still tell everyone what to do, I can buy that as an excuse.
I take this categorization of my post as an honor. The fact that Microsoft would deal this way with China indicates China has virtual monopolistic power over the products they allow into China when they choose to do it.
I personally do not think the Chinese can be trusted and would not believe they would play fair. For god's sake, there are people in their country who make fake baby formula and medicine which have killed people. There is no way I can trust them.
For accuracy, no single supplier produces all "rare earths". The largest and least expensive lithium supplies come from dry lake beds in Bolivia-Columbia as I recall.
The former rare earth mine at Mountain Pass, CA (near Nevada) was shut down over a decade back but is being reactivated by Molycorp in a multi-year process & should start producing this year. It too only has certain rare earths in its "mine". It produced most commonly used rare earths and will the mine will likely be a large profit maker for Molycorp with the Chinese supply squeeze.
Do a great job where you are that shows you can tackle a 2 year project and achieve great results.
Nose your way into doing extracurricular activity you are interested in with a professor or private programming somehow, someway.
You will never stop learning, and it is impossible to get more than a good introduction in 2-4 years so go for it. You never know where you will eventually wind up, so get everything you can in training at school.
So I have no reason to upgrade to Win8 when I can just continue with Win7 until the dust has settled with Win9 or Win10.
MS has lost its sway in convincing me to spend hard money on an OS. It used to be we almost had to upgrade hardware every year or two. Those days are long gone. The earliest I upgrade is 3-4 years.
Upgrading SSD firmware over time seems like a bum deal and I hope newer SSDs do not need this.
A Crucial C300 in MacBook Pro while idle on my desk simply stopped and the screen went white.
Turns out that in about 1 year, the Firmware revisions went from #0 to #6 or so and I was never informed you needed to do firmware upgrades.
Crucial gave me a workaround to reset firmware. Bum deal is that I had to remove the SSD and connect to a PC to do the reset and then the instructions for doing the sequential firmware updates was incomprehensible, so I didn't upgrade firmware.
Selling an SSD as a drop in replacement and not stating anything about firmware upgrades and not providing a way to easily do those upgrades with a one click application with the drive in place is BAD PR for a company. It is also bad policy to require firmware updates and not have a notification system in place.
And we know it is with good intentions. Ultimately "restricting hate speech" will be defined in law as "restricting critical analysis". Galileo was one of the first to run afoul of such folly and I thought we had learned our lessons.
If you live and work in a close arrangement, a person has more time to engage in one's life!
The article should have had some questions on that in the survey. I know people who spend 2-3 hours a day (assuming no traffic tie ups) on the road getting to and from work. That is over 10% of one's waking life.

Reply: In addition to competing to a fixed volume of trade time, it still seems possible that these bot traders may accidentally "collide" at some point producing a massive change in prices and cause huge artificial alteration of the market that has NOTHING to do with rational investing.
We usually call this gambling. Normal stock buyers at that point can be considered the sheep to be fleeced.
To avoid war, have the most & best weapons so you don't invite the weaker country to invade. Same with businesses both large and small.
"'There are hundreds of ways to write the same computer program,'... And so patent applications often try to encompass every potential aspect of a new technology." Nothing new here. You need to be able to use some patent points to "cross license".
Lots of Apple's patents are the traditional pure mechanical features, though, which don't relate in the same way to programming.
Smile, blather and shake hands, preferably all at the same time.
And some people want Congress to decide what happens to the entire health care system in the U.S.?
The likes of Broun, Pelosi & Reid are NOT capable of deep thinking. Deep fundraising, maybe, as long as they get theres.
We need less Federal government. We rose to the top of nations without the Federal government in charge of education. I sure looks like ever since the Dept. of Education was implemented in the 1970s that the general education level has been dumbed down. Get the Feds out. They do not know what they are doing...except feathering their own retirement programs.
People have made weapons out of blocks of stone, so we shouldn't build stone or concrete houses...?
Fast 3D parts you can handle, feel, assemble and use, if at least done gently with many of the printer polymers makes analyzing what you can think of for design a very quick process, whether for play or production prototyping.
Emphasis on guns, which is only partially possible is a joke. You still need barrels and other very highly stressed parts that can't be done by RP plastics. True there are RP titanium and stainless steel, but you don't do those materials on a $2000 desktop printer. Try a $500,000 SLS machine.
Indeed good windows and plants can help, but since it is the low frequencies and they are easier to reflect, a reflecting hard angled flange all around a full window width flower box will help bounce sound waves away before reaching the window. This works best assuming you are living on at least the 2nd floor or better, the 3rd floor.
If a flower box is not allowed, an angled sheet of clear polycarbonate can be safely anchored and used to deflect low frequency sound waves effectively. You can mock it up with duct tape to try it for minimal cost.

Whether deliberate or not, this is a perfect example of a virus gene flip that results in no person being immune.

Is that what Microsoft is getting?

I think the Chinese will regret their decision.

Wait, wait, follow the Four Seasons Hotel and get Win2000. They still use it on the reservations desk.
As in; "Anything you Tweet or post can and will be held against you in a court of law'?'"
Do Android users have confidence in their security? Do they even think about it?
Minnesota legislators are bought and paid for by teacher and similar cooperating unions and agree to drive out any competition wherever possible.
You can if you have a MacBook Air !!! Never, ever buy Rev Zero on any product or you will pay big time.
Or...an heir or business partner.

I give him a high-5 for not giving up.

You can buy all the machine tools and heat treat ovens you need, 2nd hand, and make your own real guns.
Forget the RP printers...or if you want to play, just have an RP job shop make your parts.
