Probably a lot more accurate than a person, as long as it's entered correctly. If the order-taker can adjust things like light this, extra that, or hold the mayo, then the robot can also adjust how much they put on. Not that difficult.
That is absolutely not true. Just because the Fed can regulate something, doesn't mean the states can't. Look at alcohol. The Feds regulate alcohol, but also states have their own laws for alcohol. The NY law is actually a great example of how it's supposed to work. More laws should be passed at the state level instead of looking for the federal govt to pass sweeping changes that applies to everybody. This is what is killing our legal system. Maybe the people in NY really want those laws but the people in Georgia or Montana find them completely unreasonable. Well, if we leave it up to the states, then each state can do what it wants. We need to quit looking to the federal govt to pass laws like this.
Basically, it's just like extracting oil from tar sands. Until very recently it was just not economically viable to get oil that way. However, once the price of oil hit a certain mark, then it was. Ocean mining for minerals is the same way. At the moment, it's not economically viable. At some point in the future, it will be.
Or you just put all the patients together that have the flu and assign the nurses who didn't get the vaccination to them. They'll all eventually get the flu and can then be moved back to regular rotation. Or you just assign those nurses the crap jobs around the hospital that don't involved patient interaction - scrubbing toilets, doing laundry, data entry, etc....
I don't agree that that e-gifts mainly support the entertainment industry. There's tons of various e-gifts, including such companies like NewEgg, ThinkGeek, and even Kickstarter. At least then you know that the cash isn't going to support the entertainment industry.
Second, you think that you don't support the entertainment industry by pirating, but you're still listening to their damn music and watching their damn movies!! If you truly don't support it, then don't even pirate. Your just as bad as the people who buy their crap.
That's incorrect. If you read the article on nature.com, it states that the rise in temperature was 2.4 +- 1.2 C, not F. The 2.4 was also twice what was expected.
When I saw the article at first, I immediately thought this had to do with the Python programming language - since this is Slashdot. Boy, was I wrong. Hmmmm... Maybe the editor just saw the word 'python' and didn't actually read TFA? Probably, since this is Slashdot.
True, but there are a few benefits that the other carriers don't have.
1. You can pay a higher down payment to reduce your monthly payment.
2. You can pay off your balance early to reduce your monthly payment.
3. You can upgrade at any time.
Right. Plus, the customer can even put more down up front and pay less over the course of the 20 months. The customer can also pay off the installment plan early, too, which would also reduce their monthly bill. The other carriers won't let you do that.
I remember reading about technology to allow lit marketing messages on the night sky.
I actually think that's a cool idea and would love to see that happen. I might have to seriously look into making this happen. So, that first time you look up into the night sky and see "Eat at Joe's" lighting up the sky, you'll know that you are the reason why.
As for all the ads all over the place. I don't mind them. I just block them out when I want (yes, even in real life). Who the hell needs adblock? But I do like the information as well sometimes. Occasionally it's entertaining, but it's a good, quick way to know when something cool is coming out or a new restaurant is opening. And a downtown without loud and gaudy blinking signs all over the place? That's not a downtown! That's a ghost town.
They're racists and paranoid. They think there's some big conspiracy to repress the "truth", or at least what they think of as the truth. That's the only way they can justify in their beliefs - some big conspiracy theory. But, I have to say that if a belief system falls apart on the basis of a conspiracy or not, then maybe the belief system should be looked at.
So true. The biggest proponents of Scrum/Agile are the "instructors." It's just propaganda to make you think that Scrum really works. While it might look great to the MBAs and other execs, it just doesn't work in the real world, at least at any company that has a budget and wants to actually make a profit. I'm sure it would work beautifully on side projects, non-profit projects, etc... where you're not concerned about money, though.
Oh yeah, and a case in point on the GP's propaganda:
I no longer think of developers as professional if they fail to use these practices.
So, he resorts to telling programmers, basically, that they're not professional if they don't use Scrum. Trying to appeal to that person's guilt and shame. Sorry, but I don't fall for these "shame" tactics. Just a tactless, tasteless ploy to try and lure people to Scrum.

Don't start another one. You need 100,000 signatures for the new petitions from now on.

They hired Deloitte to do their due diligence. They didn't. This is why HP is now suing Deloitte, because they (allegedly) dropped the ball.
I want to say THREE words to you. Cabbage Patch Kids. Think about that.
In Soviet Russia, project names YOU.

I would even say the "archaeologist," too. Personally, I think the Mars Rovers are, in a way, archaeologists.

Because they pay people to move their microwave ovens and custom kitchen deliveries. They move those refrigerators and those color TVs.

I had almost the same thing happen to me, but I had "won" $25 million from a Nigerian prince, who was in exile. I never did receive my money though.
The terms are also "nondistributional," so you're not really allowed to even give it to someone else.
Now when I call my girlfriend, "Dear," I know in my head which definition I really mean.
Now, if you think about it, I *am* wrong.
Oh, dear.

I'm Mr. Sure, and I approve this message.
you could find yourself looking for a new job at best, and looking out from a shallow grave in the middle of nowhere at worst.
FTFY.
