So you guys spent ~50$ per person in the country to create a gun registry? for that price you could have just bought in bulk discount and gave everyone a gun and there for have a registry that says "everyone" and mission accomplished.
According to your link, it was estimated at 2M and ended up running 66M.. a far cry from 2B but, still a 33x increase in cost so very respectable fail there.
I fully understand where you are coming from, and i can't answer for the Navy on the system as a whole, but i will say their implementation PM (Plant Maintenance) portion of SAP is a very good example of a very functional implementation that is very effective at doing it's job.
I love how each branch of the DoD gets to pick it's own ERP solution. It says Oracle won it over SAP, not that i have a preference but SAP has a showing of being successful in the market via is use in the Navy. With all ERP solutions there are going to be issues, but overall the Navy has been very successful with their SAP deployment.
Again, why isn't this pushed from the top of the DoD vs. every branch figuring it out and reinventing the wheel each time?
Gauging from that comparison image i'd assume it is 50$ per GB as they are comparing it to 1$ per GB NAND which is upper consumer market price right now.
But also given how the landscape shapes radio transmissions, it would be a good exercise to find one, but for every unit overlapping it would become much more difficult to isolate and locate, and god forbid anyone get creative with it.
and sell it as what? hey i got the new Samsung Galaxy XYZ tablet, looks like a phone but isn't.
There are few devices out there that are the same visual and label device that are sold in phone and non phone versions.. closest i can think of is the iphone and ipod touch both of which are clearly marked and are noticeably different.
while the criminals might be smart enough to flash it, the device physically would look line a phone, and only an idiot would buy it thinking it wasn't.
because it is what it is, and if the phones where being stolen and never used as phones again then your comment would be fully valid and they wouldn't even need to do this because well they arn't being used as phones. But the stolen phones are being used as phones, not ipod's, sure you could use it as such and i'm sure some would, but based on past usage my bet is that if a stolen phone could no longer be used as a phone, it's less likely to be stolen for that purpose.
If i was the judge i would have responded "fine if it's not on there in 48h you can just turn the site off till you get it on there", but i do like inviting the CEO to justify it.
From how i read it that would be true if you where to pocket it from the post office. But if you where to buy a box of pens online, say from amazon, the purchase of them would be the authorization to use them as you see fit based on first sale, unless there is a constraint on purchase say how and were you can use them.
The blacklist/database is at the infrastructural level, it uses the MEID or ESN which is cell radio equivalent to a mac address except that it is truly global (zero collisions). The rest of the world already is using this, its good to see the US come into play on it.
But the basics of it is that if a phone is added to the list it can not register it's self on a carrier network to receive service, meaning that the phone no longer functions as a phone which should drop the usefulness of a stolen phone to near nothing and curb the crime rate for it.
The last in house controller was on the 320's,, and in overall use i still continue to buy the Intel 320 series drives for enterprise use. They are absolutely rock solid.
i never said anything about the US government, i was talking about the country as a whole, government and companies here in the US both seem to be focus so much on short term profits that they never seem to make any type of long term investments.
while the higher price for this commodity can and should spur investment in other sources, the requirements to be productive in mining Rare Earths are steep and you can't just put up a plant and have it producing quickly. China already has the mines and plants, they are just idle now. If they want to ramp production they can. This is threat to anyone who wants to start producing this commodity. China could easily just sit back and wait till people start investing then start production again and crash the prices, which would make the investments wasted as that plant can no longer produce competitively.

Compared to the Samsung arm chips at the same time the xScale blew the doors off them in performance clock for clock, and at that time no one did well with power consumption except when asleep.

RTFA? :)

But as a nerd, this is news. I'm a big fan of Intel controllers and am looking forward to taking this for a test drive.
didn't realize that.

Even that one requires that you pocket it from the government, if you just go and purchase them there is nothing illegal about it.

Please note that Buddhism isn't a religion, it is a way of life. Don't confuse the two
still limits the resale value, even criminals don't want to walk around with an phone that doesn't work as a phone

while they might have just got the price & performance to the same point as everyone else, they have far exceeded everyone in quality for a long time.

Agreed, while you can't see whats under the water, based on the shape i see, i know i wouldn't want it to take it into any real ocean.
it's as dimensionally awkward as a Picasso painting
i would't insult Picasso by associating this with any of his work.
i never said anything about the US government, i was talking about the country as a whole, government and companies here in the US both seem to be focus so much on short term profits that they never seem to make any type of long term investments.
agreed, but given the US's lack of ability for log-term planning, i feel this will be a constant problem for us when it should be a no starter.

that was a great game
