In AMD vs Intel, AMD now calls witness for the prosecution "acordes". Please son, in your own words, tell the court all the training methods Intel used to brainwash {Ojection!}[The court will ignore that last word}....train you not to appear as a member of a monopolist company.
...wanted to leave but they simply didn't have the resources to do so.
For billions of people the world over who are poorer than the poorest in New Orleans, the minimum resources required for transportation is FEET. I think 90% of the stranded people have the requisite resources to leave. What they appear to lack is horse sense (the common sense given to a horse) or the humility to realize the world does NOT OWE THEM A DAMN THING.
Yes it will run Linux....after you recompile the kernel 2,048 times. But, the system is so fast, if a dependency error occurs the system will try all possible permutations of the missing componenet until it succeeds.

Complaining about the schools is the easy way out. This industry group needs to focus on their own employees: the parents. Perhaps if industry rewarded parents for instilling DISCIPLINE in their children, industry would be rewarded with disciplined, educated employees.
If parents had the backbone to discipline their own kids, maybe they would also discover the backbone to demand results of the local school board.
This article exemplifies a few life lessons all engineers should heed:
Wall street is the manic-depressive bitch public companies are married to: unlimited praise when you do right, kicks you hard when you are down, and takes cheap shots when you can't defend yourself
When you have what everyone wants, you can rewrite the rules and change the way business is built. But you still have to put on the funny hats and dance at the party according to the customs.
Jounalists always talk out of both sides of their face. The paragraph at the end is just a free open ticket for the journalist to write another article later about the failures of Google.
Nothing matters more than the right people with the right ideas and the will to execute those ideas.
VOIP requires more than software, servers, and VOIP phones. The physical wiring must be sufficient to support the eventual bandwidth requirements.
For example, the network in one building (government contract on low bid) split the CAT5 pairs: 2 pair to each wall port. (Y'all can argue the technical feasability of using 2 pair instead of 4; but,) In order to implement VOIP in that building, new CAT5e wire must be run to each office. This is a cost which the administration is having a hard time understanding when the building is only 10 years old. (No, we are not going to just re-unite the pairs and put a cheap unmanaged switch in every office.)

Docker stopped production due to inadequate sales. Their premier advertisement was terrible; I don't know which lamers they used as a control group. And, the geeks here on slashdot have no one but themselves to blame for the lack of sales. Go out and SPEND your massive paychecks at the local Dockers store!
Obviously, you don't live in Texas. I was unable to find the source document; but the following quote states the reason quite clearly:
"This reminds me of the Super Collider, when it was suppose to come to UC Davis. Instead it went to President Bush Sr's home state of Texas. If you remember, that was a boondoggle. The thing was plagued with problems including fire ants that were attracted from miles around whenever the thing was turned on for tests -- then [the ants] would eat the wires down to the core!!! Because of cost over runs, the project was scrapped"

I had an Opti-UPS for my home system with EVERYTHING plugged in: 300W pc, 19" monitor, printer, cable modem, switch. After a few years of overload, one of the components on the circuit board got so warm it unsoldered itself, feel out of the circuit board, and melted into the battery. I kept wondering what that hissing sound was when I moved the UPS. The smell of boiling battery acid quickly caught my attention.
The next Opti-UPS has the circuit board installed where the components would not fall on the battery.
The mouse built a nest on the HDD to stay warm. The PS fan had sucked in some of the threads, feathers, grass, etc the mouse used for the nest. The PS smoked, I think the mouse panicked, and pissed on the NIC.
With all the mouse turds scattered across the motherboard, old hot HDD, toasted PS, and scorched NIC, I tossed the whole system. (And upgraded it to Windows 98! those were the days)
If the focus is on "smart systems", how smart does a system need to be for "...giving back automated responses. As computer intelligence improves, technology will handle more (repetitive) tasks..."? Oh, I get it...now a human being is not annoying the customer with an automated response; but the machines is. The customer service rep is now an "automation response generation technician".
A search for "context aware systems" returns a plethora of research in smart(?) systems for narrowly defined problems. Until a "smart system" can function independent of human support, these systems will never replace the human to human interface.
How many smart systems can change a tire on my car in pouring down rain at night? Does not matter how smart the system is if it cannot adapt to largely random conditions. Let the computers take the dull jobs and the people will adapt.
For those of us geeks with abundant natural resources, we should allow GeekMan his stereotypical powers.
Previously, I was in metals manufacturing; now I am admin for a Computer Science department. At 6'4", 245lbs, 18" neck, strong back, and with massive arms and shoulders, I use my imposing physical presence with ardent fervor. When I ask, EVERYONE gives me the root password to their favorite personal research box. Only one PhD student had the pomposity to keep telling me I had to recognize zones on his DNS server....when I said NO the 3rd time I used non-technical arguments! GeekMan lacks a superpower to dominate the arrongance of the PhD student.
After I move a Sun 21" monitor across the room in one swift motion, even GeekMan will pause in his tracks. I have single-handedly rackmounted a Sun V880 server; GeekMan can't code without a hardware base. Rackmount the APC UPS with batteries still installed -- No Problem.
Leave GeekMan his sterotypical powers, I still win.

You silly fool, the Supreme court just basically nullified the Fifth Amendment. What makes you think they won't nullify the Second Amendment?

shuffle your feet thru carpet with nylon footwear and pick up a memory card (in Minnesota in February).
Have my cat determine the memory card is alive and subsequently attack the memory card
Have a dog carry the memory card in it's mouth for a couple of hours; then bury the memory card in the back yard.
