They've already been doing that for years. So far, they have been proven right. Maybe in ten years the price of top of the range sensors has dropped sufficiently for the outcome to be favorable for the sensor camp. Right now, you need prohibitively expensive sensors and large format cameras to come up with a picture that is better in image detail, color trueness and resolution than you can get with the same quality mechanics/optics and a film at a smaller size than the sensor you're competing with. Until they find affordable materials that give good color and detail with a lot less photons hitting them than current sensor technology, film wins in quality.
That being said, it doesn't take a very high quality sensor to make a good picture and if you're a crappy photographer, you can buy all the equipment in the world but your pictures will not be pretty.
If you want your drives to fail, put the servers in a u-haul without any protective packaging. Just pull the drives pack those carefully (label them first) and then start putting in expensive small equipment if you have time and no insurance. You do have your backups offsite already, right?
Because some people actually do more than write the occasional text processing file. Even web browsers do multiple "random" writes per second these days. If I want to run a few Virtual Machines on my main machine so I can test stuff before I put it in the field, I need plenty of IO for that. if I want to run certain applications in sandboxes for security, I need a lot of IO for that, since they effectively run in a sort of VM as well. When I'm watching a movie, I don't need to write files, since I'm sitting back and relaxing. By the way, nobody watches DVD quality video anymore, it's all full HD these days.;)
Once they start shrinking so much that they get too much recalls and a bad reputation, they will use part of the real estate on the die for parity and CRC checking. Sure, it will get worse first, but they'll sort it out once the competition starts forcing them to do so.
With those distro's supported you have quite a large part of the Linux desktop community covered. Others are usually inventive enough to support themselves just fine with the binaries for the above mentioned distributions to work with. For a binary only release, they're doing better than quite a few other major software vendors. Adobe's flash? The last version ever to be put out messes up color space with hardware acceleration and the list of supported distributions is.... ehr what again? Oracle's RDBMS, what is supported exactly? Maya? What other binary only applications that are multi-platform did you say supported Linux again?
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to choose from if you want find something to bash MicroSoft for, but this list isn't one of those things.
"Trust me. They know how to keep diseases contained."
Yeah right. Every terrorist and enemy nation can find those diseases in the wild or buy them on the "free market". Even things like the bubonic plague (rodents in California and Oregon) and Nile fever can be found in the USA in the wild. Powder letters with Anthrax have been sent by terrorists after 9/11 and the world has seen outbreaks of several deadly diseases like bird flu the last 10 years. Ebola and Lassa roam free in Africa and are only contained by their own deadliness. Dengue and even Monkey Pox (2003 outbreak) are found in the USA. In case you don't know, even with the best medical care, Dengue still has a mortality rate. If less than perfect medical care is given on time, it's not uncommon to have a mortality rate of 10%, even in more or less civilized countries with proper organized medical care. People that aren't insured are not likely to go visit the doctor in time for what appears to be a nasty flu in the first stages. Once they get beyond that and find out they are in the minority group that reacts strongly to the virus, there's a significant chance they might not make it, even with proper medical care. Yes, the US army obviously does a fine job at keeping biological-weapons-grade diseases contained to BSL-4 labs.
It will run IA64 software, but only for the next 12 months, however, they will sign contracts with you to pledge support for that architecture.
It will run X86_64 software, but the licenses will cost 4 times as much as running SPARC software.
And the kicker:
The developers will all flee to another company and fork the project once enough momentum has been gained to impose a draconian license change
If it only runs windows8, there is plenty of reason not to buy it. I'm fairly certain that if it's not going to be able to do a downgrade to windows7, a lot of people will not want it because of the playskool interface. Asus will probably bring out a bios update to enable other OSes if that happens, so it won't be long before you can run something else on it.
If mosquitos weren't able to deal with rain, there wouldn't be a lot of mosquito's. They need water to reproduce in so they live in predominantly wet areas. Evolution made the rain resistant mosquito's breed and the non resistant ones extinct. Horses don't often fall down steep cliffs, nor do humans, so there isn't a lot of reason for them to develop a resistance against that. Mice reach their terminal velocity rather quick, so if they survive a 2m drop, they are much more likely to survive a 200m drop, since the difference in velocity isn't that much.
Jay Lee needs to pick this up again, just to get a conviction against her. That would make it easier to get het disbarred. Lawyers should learn when to sue and when not to and that sueing people can have consequences to themselves as well.
With the current management style, there will be so many reporting tools for middle management left and so few workers, that they'll need more than 4 servers per employee to fill in time sheets and surveys.
Is this one of those CTF challenges where you have to find the flaw in the coding so you can gain shell on the server? Is the flag the e-mail address where you send in your resume?
These statistics assume that the very probable big earthquakes that will hit Japan in the foreseeable future will actually damage the Fukushima site in such a way that Cesium 137 in significant quantities will become either airborne or diluted in sea water. Sure, there is a risk, especially for "minor" radiation leaks, but a catastrophe scenario in which all the 85 chernobyls worth of Cesium 137 will actually be released in the wild is extremely unlikely unless Godzilla will come to the site, eat all the Cesium and starts farting.
Sorry to say so, but in general (yes, this is a statistics question, so I'm allowed to answer in statistics) women tend to settle for less, since they tend to use compromise more than conflict to get their way. In other words, most women don't drive a hard bargain when it comes to negotiating contracts. Men are all about defending their territory, bluffing and care less if someones feelings get hurt when making a deal. It's not about skill, it's about appearances. The women in IT that I personally know and are successful either get a break because they have managed to acquire "sponsors" inside the organization they are dealing with, or they kick ass harder and faster than the men in their playing field.
All women out there that want to get ahead in this "male dominated world": Get your goals clear, plan your campaign and go to war. Do not deviate from your goals and do not compromise further than the limits you set in the planning stage. It's okay to lose a few battles, as long as you played by your rules and you can be proud of yourself for trying. It's not about falling, it's about how fast you can get up and continue. You'll win battles soon enough, once you get the hang of it. If you use your "female" social skills to pick up sentiment or acquire sponsors and "male" social skills to beat the competition, you'll bet getting ahead just fine.

Would you like Freedom Fries with that?
Narcisissm makes that Oracle will find themselves appealing?
So will the new Oracle headquarters be inside the vulcano on Lanai? Next thing you know, he'll be putting lasers on the moon.

Offsite back-up is right, like in the cloud. That way, once they get new equipment, they can always restore what's been lost.
Like in the cloud, you mean MegaUpload?

The foundations of most religions are based on common sense.
Show me one religion that can be completely explained by common sense and I'll be a convert.

Why only sue them, if you can threaten them with lasers. On the moon!

So all the ads I see online are actually political campaigns for office? Suddenly, the world is making sense again.

Explain the McJob to me then? Or do you mean educated women are too smart?
You're just jealous because you can't get laid with your female colleagues.
