No easier, or harder, with gcc or Visual Studio - well, Visual Studio does have the annoying multi-tiered pay for your software model, that's a bit of a time sink, but otherwise, all are competent tools.
should be doable with off the shelf tech, as long as the counter flashes the bill for at least one video frame (three frames would make it much easier....) I just saw a 640x480 camera that records at something like 340fps.
or (as an industry, collectively) grow a pair and do something about it.
What I have observed in the last 40 years has been a bunch of ineffective whining with regards to "fairness" in the distribution of wealth. We need to either do something effective about the problem, or just enjoy life for what it is and stop whining. There is no reason that this should ever happen in a Democracy.
There's a nuclear facility on the Savannah River that's slightly larger than Rhode Island. It was quite active during the Cold War. I interviewed for a job there in about 1988, and met a local boy whose Daddy worked at the plant doing hot laundry. He told me "they took real good care of Momma when he passed," at age 44.
Ionizing radiation is like bullets to a giant - lots and lots and lots of tiny bullets. If you're wearing a dosimeter, you're acknowledging that you're going into the line of fire.
The Wrath of Kahn may have been a(n extremely) cheesy movie, but Spock captures the spirit of nuke facility workers everywhere - they are just as brave as any Jarhead that risks getting his limbs blown off by an IED, or stupid, hard to tell the difference most of the time, but when it hits the fan it doesn't matter - they all deserve respect for bravery.
4% back on gas (that's about 0.15 per gallon, lately)
2% back on restaurants
3% back on some class of merchants I can't remember
and 1% back on just about everything else.
We get a $100ish check for every $9000 or so that we spend through the card.
Rewards cards are part of the landscape now... get used to it, or (as an industry, collectively) grow a pair and do something about it. What the "market failure" whiners fail to account for is the massive investment Visa and Mastercard made across the last 40 years to roll out their system worldwide. Of course they're entrenched, they would have been irresponsible stewards of their investors' capital if they didn't entrench themselves along the way.
As a consumer, I view cash as a "premium" payment option. If I value the anonymity that comes with cash, then I'm willing to go through the trouble to get it, the ATM fees, and the lack of rebate from my credit card. If you're a merchant who accepts credit cards, I assume you've already built in a 5% margin to cover that - if you're a small time place (like a hair salon or locally owned restaurant), I might pay cash as a sort of extra tip, both dodging the credit card fees and making income reporting potentially optional. But, most of the time, credit cards are just a built in cost, a tax paid to the money handlers, and I choose to deal with a bank that slides a little of it back my way.
Life has never been simple, when you were a child, you thought it was and you might have been taught it was, or should be, but those teachers were liars. Paybacks, graft and corruption are not just in the Mafia's domain - they have been a part of "respectable" business since long before the Magna Carta.
Plato described a form of the city, while his chronology may have been distorted, the description of the city form was clear. These people, for the first time, are finding cities of similar form.
The rest of the story may be exaggerated, distorted, inaccurate or impossible - but if there was a city which inspired Plato's story, most people would be interested to see what it looks like after it's dug up.
What I read in a related article is that the researchers found "echo cities" laid out according to the design of Atlantis described by Plato, this is their evidence that the people of the area were (possible) survivors of the Atlantis.
A timeline of the cities' construction and Plato's account would be interesting.
You might want to verify your opinion with a lawyer, or two, before taking it infront of a judge- no matter how reasonable what you are saying is, that doesn't mean it is the law in NH.
the person in front of me (Joe) is on the phone leaving a message while I'm talking to my friend then Joe is guilty of illegal wiretapping.
There is the "reasonable expectation of privacy" clause in most states. When officer friendly has you stopped by the side of the road, he has a reasonable expectation of privacy that any threatening BS he says to you is not going to come back and bite him in the ass - and the 2 party wiretapping law backs that up. In line a Dunkin Donuts, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy from the person beside you in line.
Of course, if what is said is egregious enough, it will still bite the sayer in the ass, but maybe not as hard when it is illegally obtained.
2 party consent is going to become a very frequently broken law now that everybody walks around with recording devices on their person all day long.
The insiders are already openly taxing the market with electronic trading, and they're hurting the overall market valuation by doing it. Problem is, it's still the most profitable game around, so they still get players.
Seriously - 9:00am to 4:30pm is 450 minutes per day, 450 opportunities for price adjustment - I'd think that dog track pace, once every 5 minutes, or 90 times a day, would be adequate for market liquidity.
Problem is, you'll get people doing eBay style "sniping" milli(pico?)seconds before the interval closes.
You are forgetting the prototyping factor - the first iteration of devices like Watson often use hand made cabling and other things that are thousands of times bigger than they have to be today. Prototype to production isn't a Moore's law question, it's a funding and schedule question.
Give Watson funding for a 100,000 copy production run, and 3 years to deliver, you'll get far more than Moore's law reduction in size and cost per copy.
SDSS was good science, making great use of relatively humble tools. But, it takes an ecosystem - and heavyweight instruments like the Webb, or the LHC, will illuminate things that can later be confirmed with the broader toolset of more pedestrian instruments, things that would just be considered a wild theory unless they came with backing from observations on an instrument like the Webb.
You also need to face up to the reality that if the Webb were scrapped at inception, it wouldn't have meant $6B extra would have been supplied to general astronomy, only a small fraction of that money would have made its way around the community.
For every redneck idiot out there, there is a white lab coat idiot out there. For every right-wing nutcase, there is a left-wing nutcase. Every rabid Republican has a counterpart rabid Democrat. The destruction caused by ignorance is only matched by the destruction caused by hubris.
I'm starting to despair of "either side winning" - the two party system is so rigged and marionetted that I will be highly surprised to see a 60% popular victory in any major race ever again. Each side edges up to the middle just enough to try to tip that balance to 51%. What was it W said for his 2nd term? Something like "this decisive victory is a mandate..." and he won with something like 53% of the vote.
Love him, hate him, or bored by him, you've got to admit that Obama at least acknowledges multiple sides of the issues - moreso than I've seen the "other side" do in decades.
"What did we used to call that? Propaganda." Spoken as if Propaganda is a bad thing, and he's not pushing his own very distinct flavor of Propaganda? It's okay because he's not the government? Wow, I'm just lost as to imagining who would listen to him and nod along, but since he's got a major network slot, I'll bet there's a major slice of the population out there who eats his stuff up.
I know a lot of kooks, but none his flavor so far.
My point being, Elop appears to have pulled out of MeeGo big time (according to his "not to scale, not a projection" captioned R&D funding illustration slide), and they can do the same to any other relationship they wish to neglect or terminate.
The "Nokia 9" are clearly idealistic, I just hope they manage to get some commitment going back toward the MeeGo platform, I agree with them that it has the potential to create much more shareholder value than a "stay afloat on Redmond's boat" plan.
I'm not too concerned about whether Symbian dies in 2 years or 5, what bothers me is the apparent abandonment of MeeGo/Qt - that's where I expected Nokia to create major value in the next 12 months, and apparently they're neglecting it with a vengeance instead.
We are a group of nine young Nokia shareholders. All of us have worked with Nokia in different capacities in the past.
So, you're saying they were all summer interns?
Yes, some of their plans are on the idealistic side, but if they have any negotiating skills at all, better to start from a position where compromise reaches a reasonable end position, instead of starting at a realistic point and ending up half way to hell.
Slashdot Mirror
My 2006 MacBook Pro suffers the exact same problem.
Looks like they still haven't figured out how to properly apply heat sink compound to the GPU.
write, say, the NEXT closed garden, you cannot do that while constrained by artificial limits.
Knock yourself out: XCode

No...

Then use cash.. preferably unmarked bills
Um... those would be counterfeit.
Real bills have serial numbers - which can be read by machines these days, and probably are in some cash counting machines.

A public official has no expectation of privacy while going about their official duties... Believing anything else is insanity.
You'd better stay out of small towns in 2 party consent states, then. Lots of insanity running around in rural judges today.

Can't get at the article, but a million picoseconds is still "picoseconds".

Ever see a tax on the rich that gets past a Republican controlled body?

You will actually reap the benefits of those fines by having a lower federal debt, or possibly lower taxes in the future.
Meanwhile, the customers of the fined company will suffer, but not as much as they do by continuing to use them as a service provider.
