1. cost for a CPU 2. cost for the box for the CPU 3. cost for data storage 4. cost for monitors 5. cost for cooling for above 1-4 6. cost for power for above 1-5
Now, ask yourself, will the price of power go down if oil will cost $100 (current median bet in the Oil Futures stock simulation using real dollars as per WSJ)?
yes, there are ways to reduce those costs. but not everyone can.
The Wright brothers did base their designs on gulls, or at least their control scheme was.
Yeah, but they didn't paint the Sistine Chapel.
My point is that a similar design - prior art if you will - predates even the Wright Brothers. They have copies of the plans in my local museum here in Seattle.
and Secondary Offering was to... um, gee, they're not going to spend it on something silly like hiring people to create things, are they?
What most people don't grok is, looked at from a cost of living viewpoint, salaries have been going down since 2000, this only returns them to below where they "should" be.

And the ne plus ultra was to get an M.E. or P.E. from MIT?
Well, those days are back, in that most vehicles now have fairly complicated electronic computer systems, plus you make way more than someone with a tech CS degree and don't worry about being outsourced.
That plus the lack of investment in higher ed.
Heck, my son's taking Cisco Systems Router protocols in grade 9, so it's obviously not such a big deal, and he almost took Web Design this year but passed it up for Latin. And this is, should you wonder, just a public high school grade 9 class.
Interdisciplinary is probably more useful anyway, many people end up changing majors or doing a double or triple major/minor combo for a lot of degrees nowadays.
because - in another article I read today in the Wall Street Journal - they just were told by the United Kingdom that all government bids can no longer specify Intel chips, but must be x86 generic specs.
They have serious market and mind share inroads they need to fight back on, or they'll be another Lotus in a few years, or Texas Instruments.
but it wore out from putting too many quarters in the Ms PacMan machine at our military HQ, so I used it to clean the windshield of my first car.
Back in my day, I used to fix the C64 and Timex Sinclair games (they all had bugs) for all my neighbors, and hacked the LED version of Star Trek on our PET, which would only print out on our graph plotter.
So much for Moore's Law. So much for the supposedly inexorable march of technology. So much for that nonsense about increasing CPU performance, you all didn't really want 4 GHz anyway, did you?
No, I want faster wireless and hardline cable/DSL speeds like I can get on Internet2, with really fat fast pipes.
Who cares about processor speed? Just stop melting my candy bars if I leave them on the case - cut the power consumption and save a few barrels of oil.
But the real question is if they can make tiny pyramids.
Only if you shine a strong light on the top of the pyramids.
So obviously, we need a troupe of trained monkeys carrying flashlights to marshal them to build pyramids, and we'll give the monkeys cloth headdresses decorated with asps, and very tiny whips made of microfilaments in case they stray...

unless they get a strong union like the Teamsters.
These may be billboards at railway stations, but what's the range? Are you certain noone in a vehicle won't be going under the station or driving in the parking lot next to it?
We let them use Hacker for Cracker, and we let them take Digital Rights Management for Digital Restriction Mechanisms. We control the names, folks, not them. A dog does not lay bioreclaimable fertilizer on the path, it shits on the sidewalk. "BlueCasting" sounds like a neat 21st century hip thing. "Spam" is a nasty annoyance that Russians get beat to death for. Give it the correct name.
Good catch there. Since techies control the lingo, we determine the playing field.
We are having enough with Email spams. Now they want you get Cell phone Spams. Really, when this gets worse, people will stop using technology altogether.
Exactly. Low tech is the wave of the future.
In the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle, one of the most wired and tech neighborhoods, many of us no longer wear watches or carry cell phones, because they're a nuisance. We let loose the electronic leashes and savor the joy of life.
And then we go home and use our wireless laptops and high-speed cable/DSL/internet2 connections to surf the Net, or drop by a free wireless fair trade organic coffeeshop.

So how long until they make one that can change into a giant robot?
It's not making it into a giant robot that's the problem, you simply connect the shape changing plane to the mobile gun platform torso to do that.
It's making it big enough to carry the teenage pilots inside the giant robots that's taking all the time.
inventor's design than it does the Wright Brothers designs.
But probably because he based his design on actual seagulls and terns as well.
I for one, welcome our new privacy-impaired overlords.

I wonder if there will be an entire section of the parking lot devoted entirely to segways.
Well, I think there's an obstacle course there for segways, where you navigate over dungeon dioramas and avoid road obstacles like caltrops and D4.
The best part is the Midnight Segway Races where you use glow-in-the-dark dice and lead figurines, trying to avoid as many as possible.
Us geeks only control the lanuguage amongst ourselves and unfortunatly our playing field is very small...
