Desktop computers for document processing, number crunching etc will remain what they are, with most users benefiting from 2 or more screens and not the focused app space Windows 8 wants to deliver.
Targeted consumer applications including media delivery is not something the desktop is optimized for. Like the internet Microsoft is again late to the game and does not appear to fully understand it. Multifaceted small scale application delivery is a different beast from desktop applications.
There is supply and demand to empolyment. If the companies want people with specific skills they need to provide the money. The companies real complaint is that they can't find the people they want at the money they are willing to pay.
To the companies I say welcome to basic economics. If you want something specific you may have to pay a lot. In this case the companies are consumers of the labour market. And as we know it sucks to be a consumer.

100% faster would mean it takes ZERO time to do something.
The new code might be 50% faster than the old code. (Using old code as time reference). At the same time the old code would be 100% slower than the new code (Using the new code as the time reference).
But there is no way the new code is 100% faster than the old code, as that requires 0 time for the new code.
This is not nitpicking, this is correctly expressing relative numbers. If things are not expressed correctly they meaningless and unusable.

> who's only market are those with low enough IQ to not be able to reason.
Don't forget more than 1/2 the world has an IQ = 100. ((100 is the median so if only 1 person has a 100, still more than 1/2 has =100))
And we seem to be driven by a weird notion of direct democracy where 50%+1 of the votes means we 100% have to implement the decision even when lies, deceipt and other deceptions where used in garnering support.
We are still finding flakes from the first flint knives made. So it is not really tech. It is anything a creature does creates waste. It is almost like it was a law of thermodynamics or something like that. The problem is when there are to many of us creating to much waste.
Seeing as how the value was placed on the content that was distributed, all he has to do is make a material trade of something of similar value. Create 30 original recordings that have not been distributed to anyone at all and hand them over as fair trade value. As these are original and have not been distributed at all they would actually have higher value thant he songs he was found to have distributed as those songs were already available to many people.
Programming is not special. Programming is the literacy of problem solving. Facing a required task and then using known tools to construct a method the achieve the required task in logical steps.
There should be less emphasis on "programming" and more on general problem solving. Learning the general method is better than learning the specific method until you need to become as master of the specific method.
Programming can be one aspect of teaching problem solving because programming is very structured. However problem solving skills in general need to raised a lot higher than general grade school level before real programming can be done.
Thanks for the correction was trying to do the math and find out what the acceration would be.
0.0015G is acceleration so 2A = 0.003G
At 0.3G would be a real problem At 0.03G I would expect a study needed. While staying still for some time you would likely get currents in your inner ear. At 0.003G I expect it would be below threshold. But still should be studied for long exposure before doing a trip. You would not want you crew to get all dizzy after 30 days in space.
If the ship accelerates under constant acceleration per the description then at the front side of the saucer those on the gravity wheel will feel 1G - A and those on the back side of the saucer will fell 1G + A
So every loop around the gravity wheel you go through 2A of gravity variance As the +A thrust vector rotates from your feet to head and side to side of you.
Sea-sickness prevails.
It might have a lot of "detail" but an error this glaring just seems that they have missed a whole lot of other stuff.
put a one time use web entered data key at the end of OPTIONAL previews for a 50% discount on a future movie ticket (only valid on some movies, like the ones the expect to bomb anyways and need extra audience).
This says a) thanks for buying the disk, and b) thanks for watching the OPTIONAL previews.
It would make the buyer feel good and it would get them extra audience for normally losy movies. And it would get them web registrations of users. ((I hate doing the registration stuff, so mine would end up unused or I would pass the number to someone else, but I would still feel good about it rather than the current system))
Sure there have not been any spectacular failures yet. But there are ZERO guarantee's you will get your rewards. That is pretty clear. And it will become clearer the more failures there are.

It does seem to be slowly progressing and actually about to release the recordings. So it seems it will deliver in the end.
Simply place some nice accelerant, or substance that releases lethal gas when burned, in the battery, make it look like a factory battery and you have nice attack vector the idiots at the TSA should have eliminated 10 years ago.
If the death of a parent results in a lack of resources(or sickness or anything else) for an offspring causing the offspring to have fewer dependents than otherwide would happen, then evolution is still working. Just at a lesser rate.

You should be able to see meteor on any night if you look long enough.
Around August 12th the annual peak (Perseids) usually yields 1 visible meteor a minute to a keen observer.
The Leonids (Nov 17) peak every 33 years at 1000 meteors and hour (16 a minute).

The Yahoo stock board is the usual UN-moderated open mess of spammers, and self interested parties both overplaying and hiding their interests.
As the post here is submitted by anonymous draw your own conclusions.
ok, silly slashdot front end seems to eat LESS-THAN signs. even when escaped with a backslash \
That was meant to be "1/2 the world has an IQ LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO 100"
and "1/2 has LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO 100"

Certainly not mars in 90 days.
