If Chilean labor law actually permits the employer to fire strikers and provides protection against a mob assaulting any new employees, then bravo for Chile. In America, you'd be sued into oblivion, your factory surrounded by a mob, and any scabs assaulted on their way to work, and the police wouldn't lift a finger.
15+ years is a stretch. Even in the 2006-07 era at the end of XP's development, there were brand new machines that couldn't return from sleep correctly. It was particularly vexing since a lot of them were laptops factory configured to sleep when left unattended. I will say that I haven't had any complaints with S3 sleep since the advent of Windows 7, however.
I think that a delay in congress approving this scheme as a factor in funding would be a good thing. I doubt that US News and World Report had their ranking system perfected in just a year; even if the executive branch hired the most brilliant minds (for which they have neither the budget nor the appeal) it would be impossible to come up with a system reliable enough to guide billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidy. By all means, come up with a system, publish the results each year, and see how it works. Refine it over time, and maybe 10 or 15 years in the future, if it is respected by students and employers as a metric of educational quality, start to apply it to funding decisions.
Any amount of development time might not be enough though: like any channel for federal funding, this thing is going to get turned into a political tool. What starts as a system to determine if an education will give you a good start in your chosen field will rapidly devolve into a contest for which colleges have the most puritanical health centers or are located in the home state of a ranking member of the controlling committee.
The problem with RHEL is that the true version of any package (for compatibility purposes) is the part after the dash. They'll call it "2.6.18" (I think that was the RHEL5 kernel), but really it's got most of the patches (but not all!) up to a much more recent version. If you have a piece of software from outside the RH repositories, and you want to know if your libraries are sufficiently up to date, you need to go dig up the SRPM for the version of each that you have installed and peruse the changelog feature checking for what has and has not been backported from the "real" latest version. I've never been able to find a magic decoder ring from RH proper to make this process of getting the true package version anything less than absolutely hellish.
They detained him for exactly the reason you kidnap the action hero's wife/girlfriend/mother: people are a lot more likely to break if you threaten someone they care about than if you threaten them directly. Added bonus: not technically a journalist, not technically protected by whatever media shields are available in the UK.
In the special case of a plate issued to a public official, wouldn't making the claim that someone else was driving the car be an admission to misuse of public resources? It seems like every time a governor runs for a different office, someone goes back and brings up everyone who ever used their official car.
Poor industrial hygiene isn't particular to the nuclear industry. In fact, the energy density is so much higher, you need to do a lot less of the dangerous mining and processing for nuclear fuels per unit energy. Her actual cause of death being a car accident also seems to point to a hazard which, while a lot could be done to improve things, has nothing to do with nuclear power.
I don't know about yours, but my Pebble is awesome. Like 6 months late, but awesome.
I think the most important thing for these "preorder" type Kickstarters to do is limit the number of backers for the physical reward pledge levels, and if they do add additional slots move the estimated reward date out. Pebble screwed up by not having an initial limit, and then finally set a limit after the campaign exploded that was unreasonably optimistic given the original estimates. They had zero units available by the original date anyway, but the difference in ship dates between units 1000, 10000, and 50000 was significant.
Also, if they'd limited the first batch they could have made it on-shore while the China factory was being set up. A major part of the delay was the extremely late decision to off-shore production. Tooling up the factory and Chinese New Year probably contributed at least 2 months to the schedule slip that could have been avoided for the first set of backers by sticking to the original garage lab plan for those units.
We're fighting them so we don't have to fight them over here, buying time for our scientists for complete their work on Prozium, which will make terror but a distant memory...
This isn't about checking plates as they're scanned, this is about collecting long term data linking a plate to a sequence of places and times. If an incumbent wished to discredit an upstart opponent, they could quite easily query data going back years to develop a defamatory sequence of events. The implications get worse as you consider the cross correlations that could be made between vehicles.
The Fisker Karma was the ev with a solar roof option. The available area and current efficiency didn't make it reasonable to use as the sole charger though.

This is my biggest gripe with TFA: He says "the data access APIs are complete, and you can effectively accomplish the same thing". Sure, you could, with only a slightly smaller amount of code than accomplishing the code in C. The ability to both filter data and synthesize new records through combination easily, even as a feature of the standard library, is powerful. That it is a syntactic feature is amazing on the order of Perl making regular expression literals a thing. Java has absolutely no construct that allows that kind of functional programming to happen.
Mechanical stabilization has the advantage of keeping the focal center in the center of the image. If you're moving a crop box around a frame, you're going to get this weird effect where the point that parallel lines meet bounces around the frame.
The rate described in ms for a display isn't the frequency with which new data can be presented, but how long it takes a set of data to be presented. In this case, it takes the pixels 8ms (on average) to get from where they were to a new state. At a 60Hz refresh rate, that leaves you 10-11ms to perceive the image before it starts changing again. As the portion of each frame that is spent getting the pixels into position increases, fast-changing scenes will begin to look muddy (because the pixels that have to change the most won't even be at their new state before they start changing again). Think of it like a movie projector, where the shutter must be closed while the next frame is moved into position. If the shutter spends too much of its time closed, the illusion of motion is lost.
Well, we have to move that water around. What are people in New York City going to do when they can't get water containing Maine bear piss? New York bears just taste different...
For high-frequency trading or something I can see latency being an issue, but for some social networking site that is going to be accessed across some crazy latent cell modem anyway, I don't think the geography matters too much. Heck, I live on the east coast but played on a west coast WoW server and didn't have any problems.
I could see the increased distance as greater exposure to inter-ISP politics fallout since you have to transit more peering agreements; there was a week or so when service to the west coast was pretty slow because AT&T got in a spat with someone and stopped forwarding their traffic.
The states really don't have much choice in taking federal money. Because the federal tax rate is so high, there's a limit to how much a state can tax before their taxable residents and businesses move elsewhere. The feds know this, so they tax more and offer the states the money back in exchange for the forfeiture of their 10th amendment rights. As long as 1 state keeps taxes low with federal money, no state can refuse the cash and keep its tax base.
The primaries held by both parties are incredibly disenfranchising to 90% of voters. Howard Dean is on record during his tenure as DNC chairman saying that that's the way they like it. The electoral college makes voting power even more uneven. Scrapping both systems and holding a 20-way race with instant runoff voting is the only way to allow candidates to express their true views, rather than pandering to Iowa, Ohio, and the most radical wing of their own party.
If 10% of workers are furloughed for 2 days a month, that works out to a workforce reduction of about 1% (figure 20 working days a month, 2/20 * 0.10 = 0.01). Somehow I don't think that staffing at the FAA is that close to the limit; these delays are probably affected more by the elimination of overtime. A huge proportion of the hours worked at federal agencies are billed as overtime, either because of short staffing or really lenient scheduling policies that allow workers to trade shifts to maximize income.
I feel like there was probably a way to absorb the cuts with less impact, but when you have tens of thousands of voters a day at your mercy, why not try and get that budget plumped?
The idea was that if the cuts were applied equally to every program, deals could be made to eliminate some programs to prevent cuts to the truly vital ones (in a sense, forcing choices about what really is vital by acknowledging that there is a finite amount of money to spend). Unfortunately, the goal of neither side was a balanced budget. Rather, cuts were maneuvered to impact the most visible programs so that both sides had fresh mud to sling.
My experience with moving applications to 64-bit that didn't need the massive single memory space was that I started paging a lot more, since they were allocating words twice as wide (and while I could address every molecule in the computer separately, the same number of them were still memory). Physical memories have since expanded to compensate, but I'd like to see some statistics on the entropy of the upper 32 bits of the average QWORD.

It's true. Linus has been quite vocal about whose fault it is when a kernel change breaks an application...
