Loaded up their sample and had a look at the traffic logged in my proxy when I changed a page, loads up hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of json-delivered images to assemble one page.
The DRM might work until you get an OCD hacker on it who will focus on how to reassemble the thing.
And each page spikes my CPUs to 50% for a minute or two as it switches.
Depends whether they are they physical or software products? And whether assembly of physical products is outsourced to other companies.
If they are software products, then most of the cost will be in the labor side, not the non-labor side of the budget and without that information, an informed opinion isn't possible.
$17,000 will get you a pair of very decent servers that can host virtualization quite happily for a couple of years. Or one rather cheap CNC machine if you're making physical products.
Marketing on the other hand is expensive. $250,000 won't buy you a TV advert series on mainstream channels. You'll probably squeeze printed media, maybe a booth at a couple of tech events and online advertising out of that.
Precisely. Kepler's been up and observing for 4 years now. Since it hunts for occultations, the scientists can only be certain that observed planets are alone out to a 4 year orbit, which excludes anything outside of Mars in our system. And that is if the system is aligned so that the orbital plane is correctly positioned for Sol-visible occultations.
For a star where Kepler has observed something, they can only say there's no planets inside 4 year orbits, everything else is speculation. For a star where nothing has been observed yet, they can't say anything with certainty.
The fact that She's chief marketing officer isn't lost on me--She made that quote to win a crowd I (must) belong to over...but whatever. It worked.
FTFY. We aren't dwarves, there is an easy way to determine whether it is a boy or a girl. And it's even easier when they name the person with a proper gender-specific name. I know Tracey Hickman confused things a bit, but he's in a minority.
You know about the magical ability of 64 bit processors to run a 32 bit OS? Drivers might be an issue on newer devices, but the core OS will always run.
If that doesn't give you an inkling that you're dealing with the same mindset of the people who came up with the Haventree attack shark, then I don't know.
As a firewall administrator, unless I am being attacked from a specific IP, I will block hostname in preference to IP precisely because of this sort of problem.
It's called full disclosure..... Likewise, if Slashdot is going to promote its parent company's content as news, the connection should be noted in the summary.
Full disclosure? Like being able to read that the URL is news.dice.com before you click on it? Magic isn't it.
The original Powers of USA, USSR, UK and France in the early heyday of nuclear weapons development in the 50's and 60's when these devices were developed. The other five are johnny-come-latelies.:)
All four nuclear nations had designs and probably operational devices for enhanced radiation reduced blast weapons, aka neutron bombs, that released the neutrons generated by the initial phase of the bomb instead of the full ionizing and shock blasts. They did this with fission-fusion bombs with deliberate ineffective X-ray and neutron mirrors. The US W79-0 had a neutron bomb mode.
All such weapons were destroyed as part of SALT and SALT II, but who knows what still sits in a cupboard.
There are, for reasons of not digging trenches through the Sahara, limited routes between the Indian and the Mediterranean. Vast amounts of ship traffic move along the same routes and every now and then tend to do stupid things. That area is a natural choke point and unfortunately it increases the likelihood of cable cuts.
If you examine cable faults on undersea cables, most tend to occur at these choke points. Seacom for example has not had breaks further south where the landing points are kept well clear, by 50 to 100km, of the harbours in southern Africa.
They do put them in areas where ships aren't supposed to anchor, and the areas are clearly marked on charts. But some "captains" ignore the warning markers or have no idea of their position and damage the things.
We don't even have voluntary tithing, The tithe is 10% of gross according to most entities that do it and then they hunt you down to pay it. I've seen the elders of the Dutch Reformed Church going around knocking on doors depending their tithe.
On the other hand, the Catholic church in Africa recommends 3% to 4% of disposable income after taxes and fixed payments. Most people will do the token dollar bills left in the wallet when the collection plate comes around.
I like the "he has no previous experience" thing they mentioned. I don't think "have you ever been a pope before?" was part of the the interview...
The no previous experience statement isn't to do with being a pope, but with having been part of the Vatican bureaucracy before the election. One of the areas of reform needed is in an apparently corrupt bureaucracy and the last chap was part of the club, having headed up part of it for a decade or more.
This chap has been running an archdiocese in Argentina for the last couple of decades and only set foot in Rome once or twice a year. In American terms, it would be like electing a small town mayor to the office of president, and hoping that the fact he doesn't know how Washington should work will let him clean up the place.

This administration did criticize the Librarian of Congress for the unlocking rules change though.
and replace them all with electronics.
Cyberdyne Systems Command and Control System Model Skynet 1.0.0 approves of this message.

You proved his point. The terr's claim it is Jihad, but it is not because they are targeting other Muslims not unbelievers.
No Mr atheist. He doesn't feel inferior. He sees that the other person feels superior. There's an unsubtle difference between the two perceptions.

Probably the same guys that never upgrade from their 486DX120 because it's fast enough to run Lynx.

Swallow one, wait three hours, swallow another, wait for four days to a month and we can do that :)
Sheesh, it says VOLUNTARY!

It's sad that the height of slashdot april foolery was the Ponies skin.
We implemented Internet load-shedding at our university one April Fools.

Nah, they are experts compared to Uwe Boll who came to mind when I read the headline.

Yeah, MS rolled over for the Russian government six years before they bought Skype. Good future planning on Balmer's part.
The reading comprehension skills here astound me.
London where they built the Shard? If so, my sympathies. Saw the documentary on it.
