I expect people are carrying more data. Miniaturization should permit you to carry all the data you need in hip-hugging data breaches in the near future.
Right now my mail carrier has to crush, fold and spindle each piece of mail she brings me by hand. These tubes could have handled at least the first two of these tasks.
Yes, I believe puns are usually described as the lowest form of wit. Although given Shakespeare himself could not resist, its seems hard to justify. As he almost said "Get thee to a punnery",
The Boston Tea Party happened because the government lowered taxes, so that the smugglers could make less money. They were protesting against cheap legal tea, not against taxes on tea.
Seems like the record company proposal is totally in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party.
I assume the virus brings up a helpful countdown timer on all the infected machines. Surely the aliens have picked up enough SF movies on their way here that they understand that's part of the protocol.
At 1Mbyte per sec, its 250000 seconds worth, or about 30 days worth.
If you could sustain 1Mbyte per sec that's not a bad rate. One would think that if the system was overloaded, you would fall below that. So what technical purpose can such a limit have? It doesn't seem like it has anything to do with demand management. Realistically its for creating tiered pricing structures - that's the only purpose for which it makes any sense.
What we need is to be able to charge in motion, and at highway speeds.
While we are at it, lets build in automatic driving, so you just get into the recharge lane, connect up, and it entrains you with all the other electric cars. You can then sleep or read slashdot and with the cars close together reduce both congestion and energy use (drag goes down). Perhaps the driver in the leading car would have to keep an eye out for slow moving idiots in gas guzzlers, at least during a transitional period.
I cannot help thinking this would be a much stiffer engineering challenge. It is, of course, an official separate land speed record. Otherwise going from ~700mph to ~1000mph in a rocket propelled car seems to be more a question of how deep a brown you can die the seat cover.
Is that likely that her number has not changed for 50 years? 50 years ago surely her number would have been 4 or 5 digits and certainly not 10. Her number from fifty years ago may be a suffix of her current number (and only in base 10 at that) but not the same.
In a stable system, the Taylor series often converge in the domain of interest. I am by no means an expert in this area but the math I have seen assumes that the system is differentiable everywhere. In realitry of course, when the economy "falls off a cliff" its not differentiable. For example, when your credit default swap insurer goes broke, that's the system falling of a cliff.
I suspect there is also an issue of assuming that the risks on different positions were stochastically independent wheras because portions of many of them were held by the same institution, that was really not the case; they were in fact highly correlated. Although this might be overthinking it if another poster's assertion that banks were playing a giant game of hot potato is widely correct,
One of the things the next administration should do is put together a high powered group of mathemeticians and economists to investigate this whole mess with a few to setting up regulations for the future. The goal of the regulations should be to provide information on actual risks faced by the market, to analyze existing algorithms in use, and to peer review proposed new algorithms to be used by government guaranteed companies taking positions. These need to be based on a more extensive set of mathematical tools than appears to have been the case this time round.
You are generally much more attractive in the job market if you have shown the ability to show up rather than if you have no job. Sometimes you just have to take any job.
Right now the job market is really tough. Don't give up your current job in the hope of xomething better just yet. Do try to make a difference in your current job. Even if no-one listens you can relate your efforts and the goals you were focussing on (for the company as well as yourself) in job interviews.

But you were allowed to deduce a family of names by examining the name of a single extant machine.
So if there was a machine called "bush", for example, possible names for your machine would include hedge, nixon, aubrey, etc.
If I ingest less caffeine, does this mean fewer people will be out to get me?
I am glad I kept my Osborne 1 disks - I can now run those programs in full screen mode under cpem80.

When are they going to test it on Top Gear?

Not even Henry Paulson?

To hand them tools as they needed them. That's how it always worked when I was a child.
At least you weren't relying on Mornington Crescent
Only a third of the planet underwater doesn't seem so bad compared to Earth right now. Did they have to do a bailout?
Does this mean you would finish the supercollider?

He's been neck and neck with his opponent up until now, but with this conviction on his resume, he should win easily.

Wow - Mongol hordes on Horseback clearly get way better mobile connectivity than I ever do.
The language after C is P. The language after P is L. So M would only be C++++++. If indeed M is the next letter in the sequence starting BCPL.

My mother is over 80 years old. If this bill passes, and is as descibed by the summary, I am going to be reduced to watching Lawrence Welk reruns.

Or perhaps they did ...
BTW, cnn seems to be slashdotted at present! Slashdot brings cnn to its knees (or perhaps not)
