I rather have a new telescope in space. Looking for things on the ground are well known to be inferior to space telescopes. Cut 4 million more and build something better in space I say. Then give the land back to the animals (i.e. park? science museum?). Yes operations cost could be more, but put the freakin contractors on a leash (!) for one thing and be smart with the new ground station technologies nowadays (hmmm... NASA's advance comm project to get rid of ground stations?)

It's a US territory, hence, customs/culture are similar, but the prices are higher than San Francisco, people are somewhat bias against US mainlanders, and the weather is a just as good as Miami. Save your money and goto Central America....
"The technology has vastly improved, the safety measures are in place, it's time to go Nuclear."
I think you mean it's time to rethink and relook at nuclear.
Our plants are vastly improved, agreed, the technology is there, but to use nuclear at the vast scale folks are suggesting required a reassessment of the problem and more tests, since this will be the basis for hundreds of years to come likely. Again, it's not a tech problem, it a scale problem.
Lots of unused realestate. The touchscreen really 'hurts' when you need to do something quick via typing. No copy and paste! I hate it that the screen turns off during a phone call, cause when I hang up, I intuitively hit 'the button', restoring power to the screen, BUT you return to the main menu AND it's still connected. It's not that they didn't get it right, it's that what they did was create annoying usability for the sake of a vibrant display (i.e. images).
To sum it up--ok media experience (youtube), great offline experience, awful online experience. AT&T can be partly to blame.
Oh yeah, there was a reason the phone vendors, like palm and blackberry, did many studies years back on tactile vs. touchscreen. Apple must have missed those reports.
You realize consumers will be paying for a discussion among hundreds of companies to decide on where to put: apps, content, and metadata. This is ridiculous. How many years has this been going?
installed it and cannot update from the mirrors. I can read the development repo at least.
So far between the two, I like openSUSE 10.3 better (more recent kernel). feels more polished. Haven't try Gusty yet since I can never get the DVD writer to work in 7.04... I figure it maybe more polished than 10.3, but I happy for now.
Sounds like another business (wink)... with the US gov't.
Some folks will love it, some won't. It's not about reprogramming from different cultures, it's about people making choices from their experience--which for the young googlers they hire--pretty much have nil. Obviously google would rather sculpt people than leverage their strengths and weaknesses from their experience... No right or wrong, just 2 different approaches. You don't see GE, which has been around for +100 yrs, following the same style...
Having lived there for 20yrs, DC is a city with a lot of high tech, surveillance-oriented companies. Seeing the budgets shrinks due to congress & the war,... and the over-saturation of these 'application firms' the past few years, I'm not surprised creative, but destructive ideas using surveillance tech is coming to the consumer market in order for these companies to survive.
I think what you are talking about is the previous generation. Today, most foreigners in technical MS/PhD programs are to either use the advance degree by: go home, start their own business and profit! where the degree is worth something (credentials).
Or use the adv. degree as a great sales tool to raise VC/Investor money in the US--cause when a brainless US MBA sees you're a PhD in Astrophysics and have a solution to nanomolecularmediallegal DRM.... he's give you money by the buckets, no questions asked. In the end, it's all about the Benjamin's...
I see Silicon Valley, Web2.0, internet millionaires, MBAs flooding tech, forbes & other mags getting on the tech speak, iPhone!, and apps that are not critical to me (use every day such that they don;t crash are in beta forever).
Yep, I see a burst in ~2 yrs............... Starting with Google. The Go-Go 90's are back folks.
" It's important to remember that current GPS satellites are basically solar powered iPod shuffles with atomic clocks that simply playback whatever we upload into them at a precise rate. "
And it better stay that way.
I don't want a tomahawk crashing into my house accidentally because of some ipod/windows update or ACPI issue in the intel firmware, or since a core had to goto a wait state for some multitasking thing. Sometimes too many features bury the original intent.
This is only useful for big business, to maintain the status quo (from a support standpoint), to keep things "efficient" (an illusion actually), and be able to target products (2 product lines = 2 lines of supporting products = more money for the biz). The home user loses since not all home users require a 'home' edition (I use Linux or Windows Server, not XP at home).
The beauty of the kernel (or what it should be) is that is scales from 'home' users to 'servers'--not scale by means of computing power, but by features, which is what all users want in the end. That's the purpose of having distros, not the kernel.
Wow, when does sleep (or even hibernate) work 100% on any OS?
I am completely serious. This is totally plausible.
It works 3 out of 5 on my MacBookPro when I just close the lid, now I always use the sleep command in the apple menu and wait until the laptop does sleep. Forget about Windows XP. Vista? maybe marginally better.
Try pulling a USB flash drive from a sleeping notebook on any OS and watch that laptop heat up.

try JDeveloper/JBuilder, it's more intuitive IMO--I'm currently getting the SDK up and running on it and so far so good.
Here's my suggestion:

done.

Symbian and even Palm = hardware guys writing software APIs.
Choose your poison...

Sounds like the natural course of when kids become adults, i.e. independent. Nothing new here.
BUT is it illegal to buy or sell candidates (on ebay)?
Sounds describe-able (not predictable) to me.
Same recipe of the (Girls Gone Wild) GGW owner.
and you could have a lightweight VOIP phone that runs forever. Sweet. Solar power computer FTW!

Obviously, you're not an MBA candidate.
Isn't that (the quote) the sole reason for the majority of young adults nowadays are pursuing an MBA?

Technology isn't a hammer looking for any nail.
It's a kernel!

And get what you want and save $4 in the process.
Too many Sandra Bullock Movies for you I see. (Note the trivia section is pretty interesting...)
So essentially I'm currently getting 80% pay AND working more man hours.
a strict 32hrs @ 80% pay sounds like a better deal than now...
