Moreover I'd say looking for good programmers in general is going to make you SOL for the most part.
I'd pose to you a give-a-man-a-fish metaphor. Why work on finding good programmers when you can find a good project manager - probably with a PhD - who can forge hard-working programmers into good and hard-working programmers.
There's way too much mystique over "superstars" who bring their midas-touch of computation to a company. It's bad for business, it's bad for your project, and it's bad for budding programmers who suddenly are expected to be computational savants. You burn people out that way. Instead, turn down the guy who can do integral approximations in his head and hire the guy who took an hour but did it all on paper without taking a break. Why? Because if you hire savants, they'll do their work in 10 minutes and bill you for 2 hours because that's the time it takes for everyone else to build the same amount of code.
Apologies to most of/. for ruining your perfect scam.
I mean, I presume they're talking like some sort of generator that takes unused torque (such as braking torque) and stores it in hydrogen via an internal cracker or something. Basically, they invented a rechargeable hydrogen battery is what they're saying.
I think a bigger question is: How can every single last one of us cash the fuck in on this incredible opportunity to make millions off any and every company?
"This can be done for free. That doesn't sell advertising"
Youtube, Slashdot, Digg, FARK, 4chan, and every other site that publishes user-reported stories must be in pretty dire straits considering how much bandwidth they use then.
Also extremely poor summary. TFA is about this russian scientist's work on identifying what the light signature of a wormhole is as opposed to a black hole due to the distortion the phantom matter brings to the light. If you're not going to read the article, don't even bother posting it. >_
I can't tell whether you're a troll or you're really that ignorant. As if weed wasn't the most popular drug in the United States. Why don't you talk to some people who aren't churchgoing wannabe-republicans like you? Maybe then you'll learn about these so-called "side effects". No, your biggest problem is you know absolutely nothing about anyone who doesn't think that ayn rand is the best thing since sliced bread.
Islam is a young, viral religion. There was another young, viral religion which not but a millenia ago murdered people for centuries. I'm just sad that people don't realize this idiotic religious tribalism brings us all to hell.
in all reality, what you're saying is Zonk, like most american retards, are equating islamic fundamentalism with islamic radicalism with "islamofacism". THEN EQUATING ALL THE ABOVE WITH TERRORISM.
it's more of a "waaaah! I can't fabricate profit anymore!"- DRM causes business where no business should actually be. It's like saying that you should be given money for your bowel movements because it creates profit where there was none before.
I'm just making sure here but nobody really thinks that they burned handycam images into 35mm film? Those were big, expensive cameras they used in cloverfield...
Sorry, SD for life. But mostly because it's a card that is supported natively by my laptop, my game console (wii), my digital camera (canon powershot a50), and my gps (garmin nuvi). At $40 for two 2g-ers, you can't go wrong. It's like my new floppy.
Well, here's the thing: the article completely did a 180 on my expectations. First I see the words "Tech", "Dvorak", and "posted by Zonk" and I doubt I even need to look at this thing in the first place- but I honestly don't know, maybe it was a new-years' fluke or something but I actually read the column and it makes a lot of points that, given, have already been made, but matter a lot in the scope of the year-in-review. Given it's relatively unsubstantial and still from a Dvorak point of view, but Vista, Blu-Ray, etc. are certainly foul-ups and he does a decent job of identifying them as foul-ups. The only thing I think it's really missing, even though it's not quite the tech you'd have in mind, is the damn Ethanol bullshit going around.
Considering the number of cases I've seen where it's a bunch of tapes with millions of social security data on them handed to an intern for the night... "Were they encrypted?" "No." "Why not?" "..."
Are you joking? If I'm on a bus in Amsterdam, I can whip out my iPhone and start using the internet for 15 euros per month. That's pretty freaking amazing considering that doesn't come anywhere near what I pay for residential service in the states.

Think first, then post.

Old news itt
Moreover the headline sounds more like a sci-fi cyberpunk b-movie
"Mega-D Botnet Overtakes Storm the Movie"
Blame Zonk.

So what you're saying is, :P
you're a terrorist.

...what?
Please mr. guru, tell me how this happens exactly.
ex-girlfriends and myself. :(

What about Alan Turing himself? Cyanide-laced apple to the face, dude.

second dupe.
and it's already been done- 1GB of storage on Gmail? This is why Zonk is unchecked in my "show stories from" dialog.
