maybe there's a damn good reason something went extinct.
yes there was likely a damn good reason, the same damn good reason we no longer have Tasmanian tigers or the Dodo as well as hundreds if not thousands of other species. Humans have eradicated a great many species, who knows what knowledge we have deprived ourselves of because of it, perhaps a natural cure to various cancers or the key to longer life.
I might have a little more faith in your comments if it wasn't from a brand new user account created just to defend their position in this article, combine that with lots of comments parroting much of what they say on their website makes me even more convinced they are a scam. I really hope I am wrong as the world really does need cheap clean power, but your comments are only reinforcing my view of it, especially when you parrot many of the incorrect claims on how investment funding works.
you have fallen for there bullshit marketing blurb hook line and sinker. That is NOT how venture capitalists invest at all, in fact it is exactly the opposite of the way they work, They never put all there eggs in one basket and they weigh up the potential returns verses the risk and investment costs, any successful one also knows when to cut losses and switch horses at a moments notice (don't throw good money after bad if a new horse has arrived on the scene). Given the absolutely massive returns here and very low entry bar the only logical conclusion is they are a complete scam that doesn't hold up to even the most basic of scrutiny that is required by most investors or they would be having investors fighting over each other to get in on the deal. the whole thing seems to be targeted at suckering the uneducated out of there money.
shush this looks wonderful. I have not heard of such an excellent scheme to divorce fools of their money for weeks now. seriously the only think that shocks me more is that they are still finding fools to con into this thing. They have been flogging this crap for 5 or 6 years and they still expect people to believe they have found the magic bullet that they refuse to show anyone proof of because someone will steal it and they simply can't find anyone in the world willing to make billions and billions by investing in them so they must resort to crowdfunding. But I guess people still fall for the Nigerian scammers and mysterious lotto winnings when you didn't even enter a lotto, sometimes the stupidity of some parts of humanity scare me almost as much as pricks like these that like taking them for a ride.
Bullshit. H1B's are a tiny fraction of the workforce even in Seattle. I think many people confuse immigrants and people with foreign appearances as H1B workers.
have you taken a look at most modern computers, a serial port is pretty rare in a laptop or a desktop nowadays. I have 3 laptops and 5 desktop machines around me ranging in age from 5 years to 2 months, not a single serial port to be had amongst any of them

I have been running windows 7 embedded of bootable USB media for years now. makes for an excellent portable system with all my tools for fixing family windows machines on them. You can also manually create Windows 2 Go with win 8 pro manually so it doesn't have to be enterprise version (or at least you used to be able to, have not done that for a while). http://technet.microsoft.com/e...
It actually reminds me of religious missionaries. Tell a church there are starving people with no food or water, serious medical problems, no technology or internet or religion and all they hear is "what they haven't found god yet, we better fix that so they can die in peace", I.T. people are sadly similar, rather than fix the underlying economic and poverty conditions they see the "no technology or internet" as the key thing that needs addressing.
Perhaps it is just me, but I fail to see any benefit to this whatsoever. seems completely pointless, everything from windows to many distros of linux already can run on a USB stick and a USB stick doesn't solve the problem of internet access, a computer or more importantly the food and water they lack. I guess at least it gives them something to sell at the markets for a couple of bucks to buy something useful.
hardly a fair comparison.The argument here is actually quite valid, Black Cabs and cab drivers have significant government license, knowledge and regulations imposed on them which are quite expensive I understand. If Uber are bypassing those requirements then they are operating at a considerable cost advantage that no matter how good Black Cabs operate will not be able to compete price wise. I am not from the UK but having travelled to London I do find it rather nice getting in a Black Cab and actually having a driver that knows where he is going. When travelling to the US I have gotten in Cabs in Seattle and San Fran where I have had to give the driver directions from the Airport to major hotels.
That is exactly what we have now, it sucks balls. It means to get one channel (popular or unpopular) you end up forking over ridiculous amounts to fund channels you have no interest in. Late last year I cancelled my subscription because of this horrific system. I had around 100 channels of which 12 I really wanted. however the cheapest options saw me paying for in excess of 100 channels at over $120 a month. So now they get nothing from me even though I would actually like some of it.
training takes time, sometimes a LOT of time depending on the role. Time and skillset are generally the key concerns, training someone does not address the problem.
you don't have a clue. Most companies are not bringing in H1B's to save money, they do it to fill skill gaps, money is generally a secondary concern in these situations and it is common for these positions to actually be costing them significantly more than what an equivalent non visa applicant would have cost them had they been able to find one.
Seriously you think nobody is using instant messaging and the telephone? well fuck me, I guess my organisation must be the exception as after email these are the next 2 highest use items.
Outlook nowadays is far more than just a mail client, in a properly configured environment it integrates everything from your mail, calendaring, lync, voice and collaboration. currently their is no easy match for a correctly configured outlook desktop experience for many users.
No he doesn't, that would see him charged with theft. Accidental deliveries don't count as unsolicited gifts, though the responsibility and cost is on the delivery company and/or the sender to arrange for collection and potentially compensation if the collection of said package has any costs for the unintended recipient.
Give me a break? 124 events. Do you even watch or care about UFC events, or realize over half of those were aired over standard cable? Were not talking pay-per-view, he didn't feed the events live for free over the internet. And even the pay-per-view events are aired over standard cable after a few months. If I'm a lawyer I would mention this and keep it simple. Zuffa is going to stand there with a delusional amount 'we lost revenue, here look at this chart or project sales from these events that we didn't get because it was free to download'
They are still making their money from pay-per-view and the minutes of advertising during standard cable airing time, regardless of whether you watch it or not, or if you pirated the events. This is what pisses me off about these type of companies, if you don't like it stop putting out dvd's and or airing events/specials [which are the dvd's] on standard cable.
The way to protest their appalling behaviour is to NOT WATCH their shows. Not to pay a pirate to provide you with copies of them. This is a clear example of someone that crossed the line way to far by accepting payment for the pirated events. zero sympathy for him.
It isn't a fine. It is a business suing him for loss of income due to his practises. I am all for punishments fitting the crime, but I am also all for business seeking retribution for damages to their business, that isn't about punishment but about restitution. Whether the 32 million claim is ridiculous is up to a court to decide, but given it was 124 events it really doesn't take a lot to add up to that much.
I have had the opposite experience. 6 SSD's of which 4 have failed, the 2 still alive are less than 12 months old. 16 physical 2 and 3TB disks which are currently all running. both our experiences are anecdotal though I do believe the current failure rates on SSD's is still significantly higher than physical disks (at least it was in the last report I read on them early last year).
What ease of use? it provides them with no more knowledge and doesn't make a web page any easier to use, if they don't understand a URL they are already not typing it or touching it. Hiding it just ensures further ignorance for no benefit.
your thinking is too constrained by the struggles and tribulations that result from the limited resources, space and political bickering that we have on a crowded planet. You could give every person on the planet their own galaxy of billions of stars and their would still be no reason to ever even come across another species or for them to be concerned about us. The idea that other species are somehow going to act in the same way we do is silly. It is like suggesting Obama would send the US army to exterminate a newly discovered ant species at the south pole because one day they may evolve into a threat or a pest in the US.
so you think that a species so incredibly advanced as to be able to cross the vast regions of space giving them almost unlimited resources and advancements in technology with the ability to swat us like flies would really give a shit about squashing us? at worst I would expect complete indifference from them as to our existence, should they exist and they considered us a threat we would be dead already.

You don't own the rights to magazines or criminal records etc. You can only request the removal of data you OWN about you.
