You could as well ask why we don't replace steel by titanium in cars.
that is simple - they don't do that or something like that because then your car might last you a long time - and that would cost them money because they wouldn't be able to have you a recurring revenue stream.
Sorry but the accelerated use of plastics and cheap alloys isn't an accident or an improvement in cars..
in that sense yes - but it does fill a hole - if i have info that is supposed to ONLY be on the network or files servers and NOT on laptops that come and go in the building - i might add this to the laptops so that i can watch and catch people doing stupid things like copying a customers folder locally then leaving.
although given that it has limited file format understanding - and can't look in archives yet - this one seems a little on the useless side at the moment.. But maybe in a few months or a year they will get it where it might be something to look at - but from where their site has it.. this isn't ready for any enterprise.
It very well could be the specific chemical compound that gives the berries their color which is what is effective.. something with he same color might not be the same compound and might not have the same specific effect.
there are a lot of substances that go into manufacturing things - and if we can get them pre-made from a plant and it is easier to extract it from the plant to to make it our selves then it is advantages to do it.
that is kinda the point.. if it is supposed to be a supplemental overlay on the windshield for night driving.. having it white/green out would be a serious hazard - blocking view and disrupting any sense of night vision they would have.
ok - it is going to have the same seek time as a CF card but the read speed of your normal RAM - the write speed will be faster than your CF but slower than your normal RAM
based on the exceptionally short article - and a random guess..
i wonder if this isn't done by energizing the OLED array so that when IR hits them they energies (taking from their vacuum tube comment i see this acting like the phosphorus layer on a CRT)
if that is the case.. this is nothing more than a way of receiving IR on one side of the film and illuminating on the other - so more of an IR screen instead of an object detection and alert system
if that is true this would be useful and far cheaper - but given the expectational short story.. i doubt any of us will remember it when the tech hits the market.
also would mean you could blind passing drivers with an IR transmitter.. something only drivers with this screen would see/notice..
It's not blasphemous.. your fortunate that you like where you work and what you do.
personally i like where i work but not exactly what i do.. but i'll take the good with the bad to not have to live in an over crowded city and have more than a 15-20min commute
i understand your point - but by my gauge that balloon wasn't ready for launch..
while i don't launch balloons - if that is the way you wanted to do it.. would it not make it easier and safer to secure it to a flatbed truck and drive it under the balloon then release then having a crane hold it??
by nature a crane's arm is going to be directly above the load meaning that if the load was also directly under the balloon (required for a non off-vertical angle launch) that the crane's arm and tether are going to be competing for the same space and risk getting tangled.. or having the load hit the arm once it starts to rise?
sorry if i seem under you eyes to not "... have even the vaguest comprehension..." but post began with a question.. one that seemed to be aimed a an action taken that was one that enabled the accident to happen..
sorry but when doing root cause analysis - some times it helps to have someone who isn't tunnel visioned to ask obvious questions.
hey hey now.. that was uncalled for - last time i checked Symantec makes a lot of money off that crap, i'd say it is serving it's intended function quite well
my only issue with the Pre is.. how on gods fucking sake can i in a text box go back and edit the first part of the line after it is moved out of view..
sorry but it's just realllllllllly fucking annoying
i'm not sure you under stand the size of these wind mills..
a person can fit inside the gearbox normally.. they aren't going to be siting on top of the thing..
there is a risk of falling yes - 400 feet max into water.. (a lot safer than 400 feet to ground)
there is also the risk of rotating equipment.. same as ANY industrial plant that does anything really.
the people that would maintain these are normally trained very well in the hazards of their jobs.. i would expect the danger to be no greater than for the people who work at existing land based ones but rather lower as water does give way - and honestly no more dangerous than working in a large manufacturing plant.
Speak for your self.. some companies do not want to spend the money required to do it right.. but rather would have you spend more time than the equipment cost putting something crazy together to make it work.
Custom designed server boards aren't as hard as you think - based on what CPU and Chip set combo you plan on using there is a starting working reference design for you to customize (only exception was when VIA reverse engineered their own P4 chip set using no reference)
but the point being - it is a lot easier to do something custom if you do it by modifying something that you already know works..
Every? yea that would be a waist.. but you know if you showed me different copiers - i could tell you roughly what each one would be used for (aka the departments) and if you could get any of the back history of the last lease.. that is when you start targeting companies or government groups for specific info.. and that my friend is where you start getting info that can make you money.
even where i work - i know of 1 copier that gets used for a couple random things BUT it is also the one the book keeper uses to make copies of the paychecks and stubs - what do you want to bet that she uses that for other things like coping ETF's and other fun info

Consumers will be non the wiser but several dollars poorer..
that is what i meant by that comment..

as for Battery life - zero fucking clue

I work for a giant TLA. ... We're headed straight to hell, aren't we?
humm I believe you have already arrived
... and doesn't do it's job.

h264 is poised and ready - it is a gleaming example of an industry wide bait and switch - well planned and executed..
should be interesting when it wakes up and rears it's ugly head - sadly only the consumers will be harmed by it in the long run.
which begs the question.. why the hell where they lifting a partially inflated balloon's payload with a damn crane???
a crane to get it off the truck - Yes..
tie downs while inflating - Yes...
lifting up 2 tons with a crane while inflating an attached high alt balloon??? who thought that was a good idea?? and what was the reasoning for it??
you forgot
Energy ~= Burning LOCs

i can't seem to find any evidence right now - but i seem to remember MS saying Vista was fast or something along that
agreed - but also in open ocean you have waves and constantly flowing water which will keep the surface tension from hopefully killing you.
i'm not saying you wouldn't be hurt.. i'd be surprised if you weren't but i'd say you have better odds of living
I'd argue that one some.
if i had to fall 400 feet i would much rather take my chances with water than dirt
and while not 400 it this is 172

Last time i had to use it was for flashing a RAID card's bios..
but here at work we have to use them for the same type of thing - we have to send in our unemployment tax documents on a floppy..

just use the same argument the police use for why they don't need a warrant..
we aren't tracking the person - we are tracking the phone, they aren't required to carry it.
