And while Patriot missiles can take out UAVs, at $3 million apiece such protection carries a steep price tag, especially if we have to deal with $500 DIY drones.
You don't compare the cost of the defensive weapon system to the cost of the offensive weapon system, you compare the cost of the defensive weapon system to the cost of what would be lost if the offensive weapon system succeeded. By that scale, Patriot is dirt cheap.
If the techies realized how many companies still rely on software that needs a VT/220 emulator to work, they would just give up on the whole IE6 thing.
In my day cheating in any form == expulsion. I can understand giving a second chance, but any student who is a repeat offender should be lucky to get a community college degree.
So, in other words, you're not a manager who has to deal with the reality of programmatics. It's always the test guys burning up static fire stands who run up the bill on engine programs.
The chronically mismanaged Constellation project attempted to build new rockets in-house and replicate an Apollo-style lunar program with minimal investment in new technologies.
List your qualifications and show you have the knowledge and experience to determine that a rocket program is "chronically mismanaged". Or shut your mouth.
And quoting the critics is not allowed, since they are by and large either inexperienced shysters trying to use their "knowledge" to wring appearances fees out of the media or interplanetary roboticists look to get more funding for their own late, over budget, and problem-laden programs.
I used to work pizza. We had been told to start cutting larges into 10 pieces instead of 8. I had 2 days left before leaving for college, so what did I care, so I was still cutting into 8. One guy actually brought a pizza back because there were only 8 pieces, and we had to make a new pie. I got the evil eye from the manager and a free large pizza.
The only way to get cable boxes into retail is to make them more attractive than the rental boxes from the cable cos. The only way to do that is to stop the cable cos from lying to customers and saying the boxes are required and that retail boxes (and Tivos) won't work on their systems. And the only way to do that is kill the atrocious profits the cable cos make from renting a $50 box for $10+ a month for years. And the only way to do that is stop the cables cos from providing boxes at all. And then the cable cos will just add the $10+ a month into their regular fees.
Or, you can educate consumers, but that's harder than doing the above.
OK, you're right, 1 of 1 is not enough to make an assumption. But of the 5 I've bought over the years from 3 different vendors, all 5 were shipped configured to accept DNS request from the intranet but block all requests of any type from the internet.
Yeah, but these devices are designed to name serve on the intranet, not the internet. Mine came with the default to ignore all traffic coming from the outside world.
The DARPA Network Challenge explores the unprecedented ability of the Internet to bring people together to solve tough problems.
Or maybe they're just trying to see how many people on Slashdot can't read a whole paragraph and can't digest all the info in it. Or who has some sort of magic teleportation machine that allows them to scour the entire country in 6 hours by themselves. Or what type of fight ensues when a bunch of people from around the country and who have never met before suddenly have to divvy up $40k.
...the cost of getting your yard mowed in my neighborhood jumped from $50 to $60 the day the X-Box 360 was released. I guess teenage boys are too single-minded to know about sales tax.

If they're strapping them on 11 year old kids, I doubt they're of sufficient quality to measure anything more than heart rate. There's certainly nobody at the school capable of diagnosing a heart problem. It's probably just a don't-sue-us-your-kid-was-faulty-when-we-killed-him kind of deal.
Still I would press them on it and get answers, maybe showing up to a school board meeting.
Yeah, take it, customer. Ooh, you like that? Yeah, baby. Take all three and a half inches of it, you whore. Only don't mention it to the FCC, we told them it was 10 inches.
Seriously? I'd bet real money that 9 coders who know what
they're doing and know how to work as a team can get to
completion much faster than one coder working alone. The gain may not be
O(n) but it's certainly not O(1).
It's going to be either total life cycle costs (requirements, development, manufacturing, operations/maintenance and disposal) or costs through proof-of-concept or LRIP (low-rate initial production). I don't think SMDC's total budget is $1.4B/year. The military budgets programs for total life-cycle if they know it's going to be fielded, or through the expected milestone decision if it's a tech demo that could potentially be fielded. That's why the costs of fighter jets jumped from $20M each to $200M each when acquisition reform was introduced. They are no longer allowed to hide the true total costs of the program by leaving out maintenance/operations/disposal.

...indie software developers are in the same boat as all the other small business owners? Whooda thunk?

I would rather have dial gauges in my flying car, because any display capable of showing advertising eventually will.

Why there isn't a law flat-out barring businesses from giving away or selling their customers' personal information is a mystery to me.

I understand they're bringing back Tab, too.

On the upside, we're hoping it will kill off the kudzu.

Yeah, I wrote that article when I was on acid. Might not want to take it so seriously.
Yeah, take it, customer. Ooh, you like that? Yeah, baby. Take all three and a half inches of it, you whore. Only don't mention it to the FCC, we told them it was 10 inches.
I can agree with O(log N), but I had to use the negative sign, or else management would have assumed N was positive infinity.
Which is why adding more managers is O(-N).
The 9 women 1 baby analogy that I was replying to implies O(1).
That's exactly what I said.

Actually, if you read the AP article, he says he likes Obama more than Bush.
