SSD technology is equally as old if you count CCROS and Core memory. If we're talking flash-based, then we can look back to 1989 when it became commercially available.
As to the price issue. Doing a bit of cursory price checking on Amazon, it looks like a decent SSD will cost around $0.35/GB, and HDD around $0.035. That's 10x the price for technology that's nearly half as old. Now compare the first commercially available 3D XPoint memory to current ssd. Right out of the gate, it's about $2.40/GB, just under 7x the price of 28 year-old technology. Not too shabby by comparison. Now we'll have to see if price/performance tradeoff is as reasonable as flash v. hdd.
It could work, look at the LEGO Movie. Similarly, Minecraft has no narrative, so they have quite a bit of creative liberty. If they do it well, it could be pretty entertaining.
And it's fine after you've reached a certain point of understanding of the underlying concept. Once you've learned and understand that 3*4=3+3+3+3, you can move on to memorizing your multiplication table. However, the table shouldn't be the primary method for teaching multiplication.
It sounds like a poor implementation of the standards. It's not supposed to be about rote memorization, nor does it define curriculum. It's about the student explaining their thought process. However, this is difficult to score on a test, and can lead to corners being cut to fit outdated standardized test scoring.
Critical thinking is central to the Common Core standards. If businesses are really concerned with lack of those skills, they should be promoting Common Core.
The standards really need help from a marketing standpoint. A lot of what is circling social media are complaints about weird and confusing (to parents) math instruction, and on how the standards are a big government takeover designed to indoctrinate our children (standard FUD). There are valid concerns and complaints with them to be sure, but these are not the points that should be debated.
Yep, completely adjustable. You can even change the voice. It's kind of complicated to describe, but I found a helpful video that walks you through the process.
Yeah, what a jerk. He only broke the record for the highest manned balloon flight, highest freefall and fastest freefall. How dare he only break 3 out of 4 records and narrowly miss mach!? Not to mention all the data he collected. But you're right, his guy just seriously needs to go away.
CudaTel (of Barracuda spam firewall fame) appliances are built on top of Freeswitch, an open-source PBX that I've found scales much better than Asterisk. The hardware is sized by number of concurrent calls. If you don't know how many concurrent calls you handle, the accepted convention is to take the number of phones you have and divide by 6 (or 4 if you want to be very conservative).
I would agree with this. Although, since you're considering CS, you may want to see if your school offers a Computer Engineering program. CompE is a mesh of EE and CS, and would be well-suited toward developing controllers, monitors, firmware, etc. for advanced (hybrid, etc.) drive systems. Alternatively, since you're interested in alternate forms of energy, ChemE may be a suitable match as well.
In the days leading up to the opening of the trade show, W-iFi connections are reliable and work as expected. However, as soon as the show opens none of our devices can reliable maintain a Wi-Fi connection to the router.
I doubt it's this:
I'm sure it is likely that there are poorly insulated electrical cabling, fluorescent lighting, and other issues that would contribute to Wi-Fi interference in the convention hall.
...and more likely this:
A quick scan shows dozens and dozens of discoverable Wi-Fi networks nearby.
I would recommend trying a few things:
- Reduce your RTS threshold, if your AP supports it.
- Reduce the fragmentation threshold, if your AP supports it.
- Play with data rates, reducing them if your AP supports it.
If your AP does not support any of those options, go out and get a real AP.

I'm wondering how much of the factory will be automated. That really cuts down on the labor cost.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why'd the change it? I can't say. Maybe people just liked it better that way?

It is really endearing of Americans when they think they can use a few handguns to rise against an army having tanks, artillery and bombs.
Don't forget the flying killer robots. The AI sure as hell won't.
And let's not even talk about Indiana Jones 4 (what, there are only 3 Indiana Jones movies? Ok, I feel you).
Two. You meant 2 Indiana Jones movies, right? I'm sure you meant 2, because I really only remember seeing 2 (worthwhile) Indiana Jones movies.
Seriously though, it's sad when a poor sequel like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull makes a mediocre prequel like Temple of Doom look good.
I thought ChromeOS used Upstart, not systemd. When did this change?

Many carriers have such exclusivity deals with municipalities, Comcast included. This is why there's little to no competition in many areas.
Also, I wouldn't get your hopes up with any improved service, though I share your sentiment in simply wanting a choice.
Looks like a lot of Bologna.
I'll see myself out.
They should have installed Gentoo!
In hopes that the 'malicious actors' would get tired of waiting for the required binaries to be built and give up?
No...just, no. THAC0 is wacko.

Yes, but at that point, why would you bring them back? To blathe?
Later on we're having an Open Source Sex Party, you in?
An "open-sores" sex party you say? I think I'll pass.
Drone season, fire!

You're despicable.

I *so* wish I had mod points right now.
Why would they need machine guns? The power of their economy and stranglehold on the Euro seems to be doing the trick this time around.

Cute alternate lyrics, but what does a Cisco switch/router operating system have to do with the iPhone and iPad?
