The $30 million is probably across all brands, of which GM has 8. They probably have a page for each, and they have pages for particular models too - in some case several where a modal is used across several brands (Chevy Volt / Opal Ampera / Vauxhall Ampera). So they probably have quite a big FB presence.
Still, it doesn't really add up - let's be generous and assume there are 50 pages each of which needs a full time employee to manage (which would be easy work). That's $600K per person and I'd be surprised if it costs more than $200K each when you factor in office costs, admin, etc.
I'd guess the bulk of the money is ending up in the pockets of ad agency owners.
No, it actually made sense, but it was just a very bizarre solution to the problem (to an IT professional).
An internet security expert will have several tools and methods at their disposal but I somehow doubt "developing a GUI in Visual Basic" would be one of them:)
Developing a GUI in Visual Basic isn't going to help you track an IP address (although it might make tracking an IP address look a bit prettier). Whatever "tracking an IP address" actually means anyway - possibly traceroute or some sort of geolocation - something for a which an existing tool would probably exist anyway.
I've used http-digest myself several times, but it isn't used much in the real world due to cosmetic issues. It doesn't look like part of the site, it's not easy to add "forgotten password" links to it, and so on.
To customers, who typically don't understand the technical merits of a solution, it is worse than an in-page web form.
Here is a method that combines the two approaches - http digest via Javascript: http://www.peej.co.uk/articles/http-auth-with-html-forms.html What's nice about this is that you can fall back to standard http digest if Javascript isn't available.
I wonder if there is a middle ground. It would be possible on Javascript enabled browsers to calculate a hash (MD5, SHA or similar) using the password plus a seed and send that to the server instead of the plain text password.
Not necessarily. According to their figures, Baidu is pretty insignificant globally - although it's huge in China. Maybe only a relatively small percentage of Chinese people browse the web compared to other countries.
My mum suggested a similar but in my view better solution the other day, when I mentioned this 'road train' idea to her.
Small, possibly electric cars that you drive onto a train (as with the Eurotunnel) for long journeys. Small enough cars, like a Smart Car, could probably be loaded sideways directly from the platform meaning cars could exit at any station without disrupting the others.
This would combine the benefits of the car (point to point travel) with the benefits of the train (efficiency, range, safety).
The Spectrum was significantly cheaper than the rivals. The CPU ran faster than the C64 but the graphics weren't as good - but what really sold it was the huge following it had in the UK. At one point there were three separate mainstream magazines available (I used to buy all three and still have them somewhere).
Plone is the worst CMS I've ever seen. Slow, badly designed, with an awful user interface. I've no idea how it achieved even the limited popularity it has managed to muster.
It's based on Zope which has some pretty interesting concepts. But that alone doesn't make it a good thing.
Drupal and Joomla are much better IMHO, but as always, YMMV.

Actually it seems it was a DC-8 in 1961, but it was in a controlled dive so not really too sustainable...

The GP probably means 'First supersonic airliner passenger service' in which case we're back to the Anglo-French Concorde.
General Motorolas :)

My thoughts also. The ACCC don't need to 'battle' with corporations. They make a ruling, and that's it.
If quantum effects are real (as they demonstrably are), should it be a surprise that evolution made use of them?
Assuming that your post wasn't a joke - a generator is not supplied with the LEAF. The efficiency of the chosen generator would affect the results.
A better answer would be "The question was not valid as MPG does not have meaning for Electric Vehicles".
Probably to allow RSS feeds specific to your journey - for example 'travel issues affecting my journey', or 'coffee shops en route'.
The oversight is that it isn't asking before sending that information.
It's 100% electric. You can't run it on petrol.
Rightly so. They know what's good for them.
As is said several times in the video - if Apple leave Cupertino, it's not good for Cupertino.
It's all relative, but personally I'd always imagined it was about that size. The orbiter is all about cargo space.
There was nothing surprising about the IIS picture for me.
It's not that big - remember that it can be transported strapped to the top of a 747.

The ISS is probably smaller than the GP thought.

It's just... wrong... and very cringeworthy.
I had no idea what you meant until I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU
Made me cringe!

I'd treat this as Hollywood FUD.
FUD... are you sure? As in fear, uncertainty and doubt?

On price, here's the Argos catalogue circa 1985:
Spectrum: £119.95

Don't forget, the Concord was '70s technology.
60s even... it was developed in the '60s and first flew in 1969... quite something really.
Sorry, my mistake.
OK, perhaps I should have left it at just "Drupal" :)
It's easy to install. I'll give it that.
