When the batteries are depleted, Tesla says even the 300-mile range Model S will be able to recharge from empty to full in under an hour thanks to its new direct current external charger. The 90 kilowatt units will be installed by Tesla at suitable rest-stop locations or hotels alongside arterial freeways such as I-5 between Canada and Mexico.
A mobile payments system tied to a phone number which follows somebody for decades does have a suitable primary key. Everything you buy will be part of a giant telco database, sold to the highest bidder.
Use a google voice number for calls/texts, and change carriers/phones/real phone numbers as often as you choose.
2. I'm expensive. I have 30 years of experience in the 'biz and a masters degree in CS. I'm not cheap. You could hire two 25 year olds for what I'm asking.
So: Are you twice as productive as two average 25 year olds?
bye, Paul.
Productive isn't about raw lines of code generated, its about doing it right the first time. (Because you have made the mistakes, or seen others make them, before.)
example: This week one of my developers made an error in a data exchange program he was working on... I found out after he had spent 2 days trying to figure it out. In less than 2 hours I fixed the error, restored the data to it's pre-fuckup state, and replayed all the transactions that occurred over the course of those 2 days. It's not because I am a better coder than he is (I'm not), it's because I have seen that error before -aka experience.
At one point he was a controversial blogger, then he got noticed, and now he is a paid mouthpiece who does not state upfront that the "facts" he champions are the opinions of his employers.
Yeah they can increase fuel economy while keeping safety but its way easier and cheaper to build a lightweight car with less safety features and better fuel economy. Especially when the MPG rating is one of the first thing you notice looking at the sticker on a car. It just makes sense for them to skimp elsewhere when it means car manufacturers can get a more fuel efficient car that'll be more attractive to consumers in todays economy.
You cannot cut the safety features of a car you plan to sell in the USA. The safety requirements for selling here are already significantly more rigorous than in Europe -which is partly why you see smaller, lighter, more fuel efficient cars there.
'It's crazy, we buy proprietary [and] we don't understand what it is we're buying into,' he said. 'It works great for an application, and then you come to conflict and you spend the rest of your time trying to modify it to actually do what it should do.'
This sounds like every corporation where I have ever worked.
And for the record, an Adaptec 2940 is not a raid controller. It's a plain jane SCSI card -- something which unlike RAID controllers Adaptec did very well.
My point was that they still make them. Not all hardware is gone in a few years.
A very important note to keep in mind... stay away from hardware RAID! When your controller dies, so does all your data, unless you have an identical spare controller card (buy it up front, they won't exist in a couple years)..
I have to disagree... Adaptec raid card -they stand the test of time. Hell i can still buy a 2940 controller card if I want one...new!
Except he's not talking about going after the evil terrorists. He's talking about coming up with plans to protect key systems from cyber attack
We must act now and quickly develop and pass comprehensive legislation to protect our electric grid, air traffic control system, water supply, financial networks and defense systems and much more from a cyber attack.
and prevent leaks at the source.
developing adequate safeguards to detect and defeat any insider threat of disclosure of classified documents such as we experienced with the Wikileaks fiasco
Great. Call the NSA and the FBI, they have been thinking about this for decades. We don't need more laws. Just ask the damn experts we already have and follow the guidelines they already came up with...
Just because the judge doesn't know how to do it, does not mean that it is not trivial, or that the software in question is not commonly, and legally, available for free.

The only problem with Opera innovating is that, if an new idea works out, the other browsers will add it..
That is not a problem, that is a GOOD THING.
So how do you route around the police smashing down doors[...]?
Riots in the streets.
So it doesn't take hours to recharge the batteries? Oh wait...

Top Gear is full of shit.
They have been caught staging events to make better (more interesting/sensational) TV.
It's entertainment, not science.
I found the answer, but none of the ones I checked had the question.
The words Free, Reasonable, Non-Discriminatory oblige them to not single out Apple for any reason, especially one so vindictive as a countersuit.

Its FAIR, not FREE. As in a FAIR price, offered to anyone who wants to license it.
If you don't pay, you can still be sued.
It's no good without a lightning gun and a twirly mustache though.
Sold separately.
I just want to know why you want one?
None of your damn business.

Google will promptly change the name of their Wallet service to ODIN.
I wish I had mod points for you today...

Florian is a paid astroturfer.

Stop quoting Florian Mueller as news.
It mostly is illegal to pass on the right,
Not in the USA -but it should be.

We already knew that the USA had large deposits of rare earth elements.
It is just cheaper to buy them from China than to mine and process what is available domestically.
True.

Stage it to a HD for ease of access, back up the HD to tape for long term storage.
Dont forget to test your backups! Just because your software "confirms" that it wrote the data does not mean you can restore the data.

Yes, but they already have me hooked. Prices are low, selection is good...
Another attempt to kill the secondary market.
I'd say I'd stop buying Ubisoft games, but I have mostly stopped buying games except thru Steam anyway.
