You should not confuse support and necessity with success. HTML5 is used for web apps because it's the only game in town. However, now that the hype has finally started dying and the pretty packaging burned off, its true competence is being seen. It serves certain niches pretty well, but it is built on a foundation too small to support the roles people were trying to shove it into. It is--as the saying goes--"too big for its britches". You cannot efficiently, and easily produce quality products from consumer grade equipment and that's precisely what HTML5/JavaScript are. Its heritage is that of a technology conceived and intended to be accessible to anyone with a modest amount of computer savvy and a "...for Dummies" or "...in 24 Hours" book in hand.
Management is finally starting to realize the true cost of HTML5/JavaScript and are making decisions that reflect that. In the mobile space for instance it is exceptionally likely that you will find a native app offering as the "preferred" means of a company interfacing with you. You can get the stripped down, and/or clumsy HTML5 site or just download our app. Select any Windows PC, Mac, or Linux computer and you will almost always find native apps taking center stage for its respective user.
As much fun as it is to blame it on Windows 8. The simple reality is that PCs are no longer required outside of the office. Smartphones and to a lesser extent tablets are fulfilling the needs of the average person.
Only in the House of Representatives... These folks are well known for creating the most poorly conceived and ill considered legislation. The HR represents newbs and the worst of the worst when it comes to radical ideologs. The sad reality is that the voters rarely give scrutiny to the ones they vote in. If your name is more widely recognized than your opponent and/or you happen to be affiliated with the popular party you're almost assured to get in. Senators tend to be more moderate and have a bit more skill at crafting legislation with fewer unconsidered consequences reflecting their lack of newbness and a marginally higher voter scrutiny. If the wording of this shows up in a Senate bill then we have reason for concern.
Lord Bradley: Precisely. But, if our economy was threatened, then it would be our duty to protect our intrests. Anna Leonowens: Our economy?! Our interests?! Lady Bradley: The ways of America are the ways of the world, my dear.
Cum hoc non propter hoc. Because of Rossi, it must be bogus... I suspect you are the one with a logical fallacy. I would refer you to the article by Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center for the rational behind studying the physics and application of the nuclear weak force.
I have no idea why you feel you need to bring Rossi into this. The weak nuclear force has not been studied anything close to what the strong has especially with respect to application. DoD learned that we could make things go boom in a staggering way by leveraging the strong nuclear force and that's where everyone charged off towards.
There have been tantalizing glimpses into the potential of applying the weak nuclear force to work for us beginning with the research by Pons and Fleischmann. Unfortunately, the subject had been made taboo for lack of a foundational theory, charlatans and intransigent scientists who've made a career out of the strong nuclear force. Those that have worked in it did so in the dark, much as a caveman would with respect to voltaic cells. Now, a reasonable, (and more importantly) testable theory has been put forward through the efforts of Allan Widom and Lewis Larsen. Testing the theory is precisely what NASA research is aiming to do. The potential here would be incomprehensibly stupid to ignore.
One of the inherent problems that seems to keep getting overlooked in fuel/power production is the consumption of fresh water. It's a scarce and increasingly so resource. Unless these technologies can be made to work with saline water, or we find a dirt cheap means of desalination we'll only be addressing one problem to compound another.
It seems to me that sequestering CO2 is exceedingly similar to spent nuclear fuel storage. It's all fine and good until something goes wrong, then it goes terribly wrong. Until we can do something useful with the CO2 I really don't see these kinds of technology doing anything miraculous for us. It's just another form of hazardous waste that can do all manner of harm should it breach containment.
RTFA, the process is designed to work with two of the already commonly available forms of fuel to power companies, crushed coal and coal derived syngas.
Technically I think that is true. I personally have not been convinced that anonymity is evil and should be banned. However, there is a certain logic to it. Under the cloak of anonymity it has been demonstrated that people are far more like to commit acts against others. From that perspective it makes sense, but, like so many things there are far more angles to view things from. There are other ways to address cyber-bullying--the likely impetus for this bill--that do not involve censorship of "uncomfortable" speech from anonymous posters.
What rock did you crawl out of? "Education-oriented organizations" rank among the most incompetent with respect to anything IT, and in particular security. They're staffed not by the best and brightest in the industry but rather those that couldn't hack it in the competitive real world. They're the dross that's left over after business and the DoD have had their fill of graduates.
Hey, some people just wanna be a monkey. Career myopia is astoundingly prevalent in youth culture. Then again, maybe some people want to spend the rest of their lives slurping Mt. Dew, munching down on a bag of Cheetos, while waddling between their 5'x4' cube--where they sling their sh*t around--and gaming console equipped break room every now and then. I mean hey, when your folks die, maybe you'll get to move up out of the basement and take over the rest of the house.
That's the precise business model employed by countless businesses from tea and coffee companies, to the Culligan man. Many have been doing it from even before the DotCom bubble.
What do you mean? This is a staple means of operating for coffee, tea, wine, etc. type businesses from even before the DotCom bubble. "Send to my business 2lbs of Sumatra blend every two weeks. Bill my credit card."
You know, it's sad, fascinating and scary to witness sci-fi come to be reality. It looks like we need to start working on counter-measures to these little (micro) intrusion devices.
There are plenty of 4th generation languages that are highly capable of the job, and do so in an elegant, and more importantly maintainable way. JavaScript is a monkey's language born from the intentions of enabling lay-users. A noble goal but detrimental to professional development work.

Intranet. They serve up LOBs, and various support systems.
If you do not have a smartphone and/or a tablet then you are coming very close to pushing yourself out of "average person" pool on that consideration alone.

Except that the interpretation of the indented meaning is far more fluid than most would think or prefer.

When you raise your children only hearing your insanity, they too will share it but unlike you they will believe it.

NASA article on LENR if anyone is interested.

Mod parent up. If the research pans out, that's pretty damn interesting.

Actually you are quite mistaken. It very much is the White House's job.
I think you have those backwards.

Better tell Culligan then...
