The legal profession isn't paying as much as it used to anymore. Lots of lawyers graduate with tons of debt and end up barely struggling to make $40K/year. And now, it looks like fewer people are wanting to go to law school for that reason. I guess, on the bright side, that means that 20 years down the road there will be fewer lawyers, which can only be a good thing.
If you lived in China, your wife would be whoring herself out on the streets of Shanghai, and your kid would be toiling away long hours in a factory making Nike's for $1/day!
I see that michelebachmann.xxx is reserved, but marcusbachmann.xxx is still available,. . . Likewise, rickperry.xxx is reserved, but Stephen Colbert could still reserve rickparry.xxx in the name of ColbertSUPERPAC,. . .;-)
Assuming that you could get 50 Libraries of Congress onto a single petabyte drive, you ought to be able to get 6,000 Libraries of Congress onto one of these 120 petabyte arrays,. ..
Which brings us to the next part of the model. After you do develop an artist's material and it becomes popular, sue all the consumers who download said music over the Internet to make a profit. Companies do this, too. Their called "patent trolls".
Er, you do know that Eureka was just cancelled, right? I bet Warehouse 13 will be canceled in a year. Need to make more room in the schedule for wresting.
I thought they tried this with G4? But then they bought out TechTV, merged the two, and both died a long, slow, horrible death. Oh well, at least there's always good science fiction on the Sci-Fi Channel! Oh, wait!
The downfall of America continues, right in your own sports bar. And you thought it was bad enough when you walk into the bar in April or May and end up watching women's college softball, the Little League World Series now, or "World Championship Poker" at other random times during the year,. . . I guess they've got to fill the airtime somehow,. ..
Ah, right! You mean like when the early space missions needed a writing instrument in zero gravity, and the USA invented the zero gravity pen after spending millions of dollars and the Russians used a pencil,. . .;-)
How long do you think it will be before the US is no longer top dog in making planes? Tell me... which is the biggest passenger plane in the world? Airbus came out of nothing and is build with EXPENSIVE european workers and the US can barely compete. How do you think it will fair against Chinese build aircraft in 2 or 3 decades?
Don't forget, if China gets into the aircraft business, they won't be the only developing nation building them with cheap labor. Lots of small regional jets are built by Embraer, a Brazilian company. The fact that China would have to compete against Brazil might be one of the main reasons they haven't jumped into the aircraft manufacturing business yet,. ..
China hasn't really figured out how to build their own aircraft carrier, either. Sure, they just announced that they built one. But that's really just refurbishing an old Soviet aircraft carrier and not designing and building one from scratch. Of course, if other nations keep giving China access to our stuff, it won't be long before they start building their own airplanes and aircraft carriers. Nonetheless, it's still not exactly Chinese innovation; it's Chinese copying.
I think the latest figures still have cable penetration at > 90%. While the economy has shed a few, and others like myself have left by getting fed up with too many ads and an overall lack of quality, the exodus hasn't quite picked up enough steam to really make a dent in subscriber numbers. Plus, there's too many people that don't want to lose access to their favorite shows, and the stunts this summer that Netflix pulled by raising their rates 60%, combined with Fox putting their shows on Hulu after eight days, and "Syfy's" stunt of putting Eureka/Warehouse 13/Alphas up on Hulu at the end of the season – has a lot of people thinking twice about pulling the plug. I still think the days of traditional cable are numbered, and more will leave as quality goes out the window. But the "good ole boys" aren't going to go without a fight,...
Well, if he's going to be named after a Microsoft product, at least, for the most part, Windows is generally successful. Apple never would've hired him if he was named after Microsoft Bob,. . . We all know that Bobs don't make good consultants,. ..
Per a recent US Supreme Court ruling, corporations have the same, and in fact, better, Constitutional rights as individuals. Unions, on the other hand, do not.
For basic word processing functionality, as well as documents originating from Open/LibreOffice, it works fine. But I would not say the software is perfect. If someone sends you a PPT created using Microsoft Office, for example, the translation will be far from perfect, and many things will not be as they appeared before.
The city of St. Louis has been doing this for several decades now, putting it in cans, and shipping it out to the rest of the world under the brand name, "Budweiser",. ..
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, I thought that they would be more interested in going after this one.
So, in other words, Vivek Wadhwa is the Rush Limbaugh of Slashdot?
You mean, "Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA" is not a real doctor? I'm shocked! Shocked! ;-)
Didn't Intel make an advertisement somewhere along these lines a couple of years ago? Yep, thought so.

How many Libraries of Congress can Stanford now download per second?

So essentially, US patent #8,000,000 is more or less a very, very early version of Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge's visor. We have a long way to go.
