In the US at least, we can't even get funding for maglev trains ON THE GROUND. Until the economy is better (in, oh in another 500 years or so) nobody is going to fund something like this.
A lot of arm waving unfortunately does not accomplish much unless followed up with something to turn the law around. Wake me up when there's something to vote on.
Natural Gas (Methane) is likely the worst[0][1] possible choice for replacing gasoline. I don't understand how they arrived at this conclusion, other than by lobbyist funding from Big Oil/Big Energy to remain relevant with existing infrastructures.
I'll get modded flamebait for this but it's true. Everyone I know does not give a single f-ck about upgrading for the sake of having the newest, latest, greatest whatever gadget is coming out. Apples 'record sales' are largely symptomatic of a several much bigger problems. Greed, envy, waste, and more. 37 million iphones? with sales up 128% from last year. 15.4 million ipads - also doubled from last year. Apple isnt the only offender but they are tge biggest.
The public teachers in NYC should take the critique and act upon it to make them better at their jobs.
You really expect us to believe these evaluations are accurate and unbiased enough to be taken as constructive criticism? Can it be guaranteed that nobody "fudged" the evaluations just because they had a personal problem with someone? As soon as someone's livelihood is trashed by way of false data, it's too late to undo it.
If it must happen, the data should be anonymized an only be as granular as school district or school itself, not individuals. If a school/district is a problem let the local governing bodies figure out how to bring their scores up.
As soon as IT managers figure out they are paying a premium for the same set of problems they battle with in-house this will all be over with ver quickly and we can all get back to work.
Those stats could reflect people who purchased cars but just use them less; eg: more car owners are biking, walking and using public transportation in effect to rising gas prices.
Seriously? In a country where reality TV is king and our presedential candidates are in the pockets of corporations, the last thing the US cares about is embarrassment.
only use the ssd partitions where it makes sense. no reason to install the whole OS to the ssd. just mount/tmp or/var/lib/mysql on an ssd slice. use plain old sata raid for the rest.
I cant help but wonder how much money the people behind ACTA/SOPA/PIPPA/MAFIAA are spending to get these sites taken down. Its got to cost some pretty big bucks to collaborate it all across nations and political boundaries. What's the payout for them?
A lot of cheap-ass farmers will buy secondhand Monsanto seed from cleaners
Are you serious? The farming majority are being litigated out of existence because their neighbors Monsanto GMO corn can be cross-pollinated by natural processes (eg: wind, bees, animals). The farmers have _no_way_ to prevent this. How can they be held liable for that?
Monsanto is pulling sneaky, sleazy copyright sh*t on a bunch of people who are hardly making a living here.
FTFA: "uses that advocacy to raise money from oil companies and other corporations whose interests are threatened by climate policies. Heartland particularly celebrates the funding that it receives from the fossil fuel fortune being the Charles G. Koch Foundation."
Once again it comes down to Oil and Money with one organization steering the whole ship. Lessee... so the shopping list must look a bit like this:

Not sure if the author is talking about running port 6000 on a public IP but that's scary if so.

We've got enough problems in the US with the systems currently under corporate influence. Why give them another?
Of Java there exists only two mindsets; one of do, and one of do-not. Choose one you must, but cease to cherish these boxes.
looks like a pretty clever way of putting pigeon hunters in a bad light, which is what the original goal was anyway.
I suspect 53 percent of respondents simply have difficulty adjusting to things being different.
