The unemployment rate for tech has been in the 3-4% range, but EPI says full employment has been historically around 2%."
Hmmm, let's see if I can figure this out - unemployment in the IT industry is currently TWICE it's historical norm, and wages are flat... Could it be that old "supply and demand" thing where as supply increases, prices stagnate or drop?
People don't counterfeit $1 bills, it isn't worth it. If $1 bills were being counterfeited in any number the Treasury would protect them like they do the larger denominations.
Counterfeiters bleach $1 bills to use the bills to create $100 bills
In other (most) parts of the world, it is very common to carry a 'coin purse' or a wallet with a coin pocket, not so in America.
We have over a century invested in primarily paper money, to suggest simply going cold turkey and pulling all paper dollar bills out of circulation will work is to deny the scope of the changes involved. Are they insurmountable? Of course not, but they are numerous.
How many countless billions have been wasted producing the Presidential Dollars?
I think someone wants to vindicate themselves for their approval to mint hundreds of millions of coins nobody wants.
The government could save $5.5 billion over 30 years by replacing dollar bills with dollar coins, according to the Government Accountability Office. But even the GAO notes that the public is not supportive of getting rid of the $1 bill.
Vending machines that take the Susan B. Anthony dollar should also take the newer Sacagewea dollars and Presidential dollars, because they were manufactured to be electrically compatible.
People here seem to have forgotten what a proof of concept design is. This board is intended to inspire Intel's partners to take the basic building block, extend it in some certain way and address their cluent's needs. Like the Atom MBs. After Intel produced their first few Atom MBs all kinds if systems emerged - SuperMicro made some server MBs, others added better graphics support, etc.
I look at the NUC and I can easily imagine a system with similar specs, 8 gigs of RAM, 64 Gigs of local storage, a gigabit Ethernet port and a more conventional video/audio hook-up being reasonably successful in many call center, kiosk, and other high-volume applications.
I think the real goal of this proof of concept/product is to get people used to the idea of using miniPCIe SSDs on desktop systems - intel has made several MBs with these ports, but they don't get used very often - most system builders opt for 2.5" form factor SSDs.
How long before we see 'NUC co-location' offerings.
This reminds me of PCs that were once made that stuffed a PC into a 5 1/4" drive chassis and was designed to be installed in a desktop system.
Looks to me like Intel over-produced some CPU's and/or chipsets and are looking to find a market for them.
Seriously? You think their production processes are so out of sync with demand that they had to try and invent/promote an entirely new platform to reduce the backlog?
I suspect Intel has buyers for most chips before they are ever produced. What I see is an attempt to build out on the original idea behind the various Atom motherboards they have been producing for years - small, good-enough systems that use less power and are designed for world markets, not necessarily the performance user in the first world.
Unless you run Linux or some sort of BSD you can add the retail cost of Windows on to that price too.
Unless, you know, you are a system builder and install OEM Windows or you are a large corp./educational institution and you install a volume license edition of Windows.
"The sum total of Plaintiff's allegations appear to be that she received one or more unspecified text messages about pizza or related products on her cellular phone."
Seems to me the company that Papa John's (or it's franchisees) hired to run the campaign is responsible for deciding who gets the messages... Unless, of course, there is a document from Papa John's or it's franchisees directing the third-party to either ignore requests to remove numbers from the campaign OR instructed the vendor to send text messages to anyone without regard for their desire to receive such messages.
I find it hard to believe that either Papa John 's or it's franchisees would be dumb enough to write such instruction to the third-party running the campaign.
The truth is that Papa John's franchisees will likely cut hours to avoid Obamacare tax/penalty, not corp parent, and the comment was a prediction, not a promise.
Wonder where the Capitalists that have built up those coveted locations you are claiming for "Nuevo California" will wind up? Will they stay where they are and enjoy their new-found responsibility to shoulder nearly all financial responsibility for an entitlement citizanry OR will they flock to the large, mostly open states with the promise of smaller government and lower taxes?
I'm sure they'll all stay right where they are.
BTW, the "agreement" you copied from that humor site leaves out an interesting factor - where are all the oil fields? Aren't they all bunched up in the states you've "given up" on? You have given the other folks Alaska (including ANWAR), the Gulf, and Texas, Louisiana, etc... But I'm sure you'll just keep burning coal to power your plug-in electric cars... Oh wait, where is that Coal again? Hey, there's always wind power, if you don't mind the sight of windmills everywhere.
Wow, I wonder if there is a correlation between the way the state voted and their uncovering of racisim in tweets?
There are several kinds of racists:
a) Racists that don't know about/don't have accounts on Twitter b) Racists that have accounts on Twitter, but refuse to post racists tweets c) Racists that have accounts on Twitter AND post racist tweets
Their "analysis" only picks up the third type of racist.
Question - would their sophisticated analysis software detect a re-tweet pointing out someone else's racist tweet as being racist? For example, if a popular twitter account holder sent out a racist tweet, and then several hundred people that got the one original racist tweet and RT'd it, putting "racists idiot!" in front of the racist post, would that RT count as a new racist post?
General Stores used to have "Cracker Barrels" where folks would sit around the barrel, eat the crackers, and talk about the day's events, politics, etc.
SPLC catergorized the New Black Panther Party and it's leader as a Right-Wing Extremist group, because, apparently, they never allowed for the possibility of a Left-Wing Extremeist group.
To illustrate how word usage has changed. "Faggot" on the Internet has become a generic term for an unfashionable/foolish person and is completely divorced from sexual orientation
That's funny, it had the same definition when I was in middle and high school, but for some reason that excuse doesn't innoculate me from the way others respond to that word.
If you are the only one that knows what you mean when you use that word, it is your problem, not you're listeners.

The value of a profession isn't established by comparing wages with other professions - besides, I'm pretty sure wages have been fairly flat/stagnant across the board for the last handful of years.
The report is from September of the August results - last I looked it is now December.
Also, why wasn't Linux even given passing mention? Has it's market share been reduced to a mere rounding error?

Paper money lasts, on average, 40 months.

I think you mean dimensionally, not electrically.
There will be a version with onboard Ethernet, and they are trying to promote use of thunderbolt, just like Apple is.
I'll probably get one of the model with built-in Ethernet and put a system together - coukd be fun to play with.

Pretty sure Apple has also embraced the "walled garden"...

And this might be a great way to "try out" Vanilla Forums - Turnkey Linux Vanilla Forums appliance...
Wind up a VM, give it a shot, and see if it works for you.
There are similar VMs for punBB, phpBB, SimpleMachines and other messaging forums
It's his website, he apparently already requires users to log in ('doesn't want another login on his site').
If it were a public site I'd agree with you, but as a somewhat protected area on the "intertubes" he should be OK.

Wow, conflating an item in a 19th century general store with a restaurant chain and a racial slur?
Sometimes white people are called "Cracker"
General Stores used to have "Cracker Barrels" where folks would sit around the barrel, eat the crackers, and talk about the day's events, politics, etc.
There is a popular restaurant chain called "Cracker Barrel"
Apparently Chris Matthews gets to decide what is racist. For example, he declared that refering to "Chicago" is racist.
Among the more ignorant things I've read on Slashdot today.
Because white people a hundred and fifty years ago mistreated black people, ALL white people "clearly deserve it"?

Silly logical thinker, haven't you heard, a black person can not, by definition, be racist.
