Its shit like this that scares me, even as a very progressive futurist. Stay the hell away from my brain with a hex editor sort of thing.

Is ILS used at all at major airports anymore? I thought it was all GPS+WAAS now, since you could do Class III instrument landings with the proper GPS/WAAS fix.
Knight Capital, a conservative market-maker, is going bankrupt because it's automated trading algorithms ran for 30 minutes in a poor configuration (losing money on each trade). How much did they lose? About $440 million dollars. In 30 minutes. Because someone didn't make it to the STOP command in time.
Not a bubble, just a way to destroy an organization in an automated fashion very quickly.
A special program about the housing crisis produced in a special collaboration with NPR News. We explain it all to you. What does the housing crisis have to do with the turmoil on Wall Street? Why did banks make half-million dollar loans to people without jobs or income? And why is everyone talking so much about the 1930s?
IT encompasses sysadmin/devops, development, developer advocate, and full-stack architecture and implementation.
I've started and sold a hosting company, managing a consulting firm, been on the team for one of the detectors at the LHC, and currently drive day to day technology operations at a tech consulting firm; I currently don't get out of bed for less than $130K/year (with insurance and 6 weeks vacation as well).
If you're in the IT industry and *not* making six figures, you're doing it wrong.
Correct. Vacation time, in most states, is required to be paid out to you at your hourly compensation rate. Otherwise, you can file a complaint with the state labor board, as well as sue your employeer over unpaid wages.
If you flake out on an employer it will follow you to your next employer.
Only if you need that employer as a reference. I'm 29, make a $100K+/yr income (and have for the last ~5 years, with 12 years total in IT), and have had at least 9 jobs. Times I've given two weeks notice? 0.
Software defined radios are used at towers, because power is cheap and plentiful (vs a portable device).
Eventually, a chip manufacturer will start building a radio that does the whole swath of LTE. It's just going to be a bit. Remember, LTE still hasn't been around anywhere near as long as CDMA or GSM.
Tesla performed the R&D for their energy storage/management system, as well as their drivetrain, with their own money (Elon's personal funds, actually). GM has a market cap of 31 billion dollars (as of 10:27pm CST 20120710 on finance.google.com), and is playing catchup.
I agree, I am comparing apples to oranges. GM can only compete on volume, not on actual innovation.
Elon Musk built a car company like a software company, and now provides production electric cars in what, under 10 years? But GM, run like a "traditional business" couldn't deliver that in the last 40 years (except the EV-1). Huh.
I'll take the company run like a software company thanks.
Listen, public embarrassment and notice is a two way street. If you want to publicly post the actions of the police, I don't see why you should feel others couldn't do the same to you.

It doesn't have to be that way. You would slowly replace parts of your brain with wetware until it was all artificial.

You would then still be "you", and not two of you.

For now. It *will* be problem when innocent buy-and-hold long term investors saving for retirement get soaked.
I'm not arguing they get what they deserved. They should be left to fail; an example to those who wish to follow in their place.
My point was that automated market decisions can be dangerous, and can cascade quickly in a complex system.

And fiber lasts a hell of a lot longer than copper. I don't know of any ILEC *not* replacing their copper with fiber when the copper gets to EOL.
It was a joke off the fact that inkjet toner is one of the most expensive liquids in the world:

Or a stretch Hummer fueled with inkjet toner. THAT is luxury.
Or start a co-op and go in on it with your neighbors. Distribute via Wifi.
$~4/month. Holy shit.

I've gotten upwards of 17-25Mbps down on T-mobile's HSPA+ network with my Galaxy Nexus. "4G" or not, that's fast enough for my mobile needs.

I live in Chicago. I never do slower than 75-80 on the expressway.
I'm currently vacationing in Nevada/Utah. The speed limit on open roads? 75 MPH, with most people doing 80-85 MPH.
