I've been once or twice, and the place never ceases to amaze me. It's fun to play on, and the exhibits are cool too. Everything is so unique and fun, and yet it is all historical parts of St. Louis. I suggest it to anyone traveling there.
Well, I'd say let the person decide.
I had a friend who was offered a full ride to the Air Force Academy, and they were going to train him to be a fighter pilot, which is what he had always wanted to be.. All of this was contingent on a physical and psychological exam. He had both, he aced both... except for being colorblind. They ended up completely taking the offer away because of it. He would have said yes to this procedure, it was his dream. I'd say if the person doesn't want/need it, they shouldn't get it. If the do, then don't deny them. Maybe put an age limit on it, like Lasic and all of those procedures.
I'm not saying that this happens to all laptops, I know other people who it works just fine for. All I'm saying is that this is not an entirely isolated incedent and needs to be looked into, because it is occuring in multiple models. Interesting though that laptops of the same model are not experiencing the same problem. I'm wondering if the different companies that manufacture the batteries for the laptops (my laptop is a Dell, and it is an official Dell battery, but the manufacturer of the laptop battery is Sanyo).
Also, I charge the laptop about every 2 days. So... over two years roughly 365 charges. That should be perfectly acceptable a lithium ion battery. I also try and keep the laptop on tables and such so it doesnt get too hot and get heat damage.
And yes, I used the balanced option and the power saver option.
There are programs you can download to analyze the working portions in the battery, and compare them to the designed specs. The program I used showed that it did make significant jumps down in working portions of the battery, not gradual decline like batteries normally make.
I should also comment that the battery was about 2 years old and had been working fine previously. Also, this happened to another person I know (except faster) in a computer roughly a year old.
This article is exactly what happened to me. Battery life started fine. A week later, that message. Within a month the battery went from 90% to 3% and did an emergency hibernate. Moving back to XP didn't fix it either, it burned out that battery. I've since gone back to XP (thankfully I had a spare battery, they don't make my model anymore).
I hope they fix this before I buy my next computer.
This really depends on where the corporate ladder goes in the company usually. Yes, without the masters you may not be able to go any higher in actual engineering and R&D, but if the goal is to be in management one day, either a masters of business or a lot of project head experience and departmental experience along the way will make the most difference and let you progress. At some point everyone hits the top pay grade for a certain job, and yes, if you limit yourself to certain career paths from there you will eventually stagnate. If you have lots of leadership experience and are good at your job and are interested though, you shouldn't ever get stuck, unless your company is just not very bright.
The trick is beaming it back. They can either do it the less efficient way, such as what they're trying to do with wireless power chargers for phones and such, or they can beam it back as microwaves or as a focused heat and or light beam to a giant receiver. either way, the dangerous part is what happens if it somehow missed the receiver. it may become a weapon, or in the case of microwaves, make people sick and or kill them.
If they can work the safety part out, it's a great plan though.
P.S. I believe the article cites microwave as their preferred method.
Dell Latitudes have the matte screens. Mine's 1680x1050. The resolution you asked for is 4:3, which they still have a few models with that kind, otherwise, move to widescreen.
They actually make dual screen laptops, have for a few years. If you do a google search, there are a few prototypes, and Canova already offers one, or did at one point. It isn't just a concept, I've actually seen one (I guess it could have been a prototype). It runs XP too, so it's been around at least a year or two. Anyways, not new. The writer of this article should probably check the high end market before making claims about tech we'll see 15 years from now, when it's already out.
We've done things like this with churches I've worked with in the past. I have no problem with it. They aren't killing real people, I don't buy that video games make people violent. On the contrary, I think it helps let out anger and other emotions, not to mention the game is just plain fun. That's why it makes me so sad they took dodgeball out of schools, now all kids have are things like video games for outlet.
Wouldn't that be a lot of starch? I mean, wouldn't we then have a shortage of it? I know it's more renewable than gas, but could they even produce enough? They're having a hard enough time with 10% corn for gas. 12 gallons of starch is like, 110 or so bags of starch at the store...
Our teachers wouldn't let us use anything more powerful than a TI-86 because otherwise it had a lot of it programmed in, they also made us wipe them before each test. Those other calculators might not be allowed or may not help you if you have to wipe it each time, so find out if you have restrictions. We were limited to Casio and TI because they knew how to wipe those. If there's no restrictions, go for an HP or a TI-89. While the 89 may be monochrome, it's powerful and useful all the way through college and into the workforce. If there are restrictions, I suggest an 84-silver. It's quicker than an 83, has more memory, and teachers don't tend to care if you're using one. I used mine through college.
We had an article about this in our school paper almost a year ago. Employers really do do this. IT isnt hard to get an alumni account on facebook, and then they can see all the ones for that school.
In reply to the guy earlier, yeah, I'd love it too. But at the same time, I know they'd screw it up so bad. So I'd rather have a Starcraft 2. Even Ghost would be nice. I mean come on! How many times are they going to postpone/ hold indefinately?
Both of these are god reasons, but if you made a reader about the size of a small book, very easy to use, and had it so it appeared to be like a real book (viewwise for text), so as to not strain the eyes. Backlit text tends to hurt my eyes after a while, LCD, CRT, or otherwise. If it could be clearly visable, even in low-light, like a book, I would definately be interested.
I mean really, does it even matter? The thing is flawed, yes. This means that really, people should believe whatever they do and shouldnt attack other people's beliefs until they can back it up with real evidence that isnt flawed. Until then, except by faith in any belief, no one can prove anything, and since no one can technically prove their own faith's validacy, maybe they should look for facts before they discount another.

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-04/why-cant-planes-fly-through-volcanic-ash-because-nasa-tried-once It basically starts to eat the plane's internals. So, while it may or may not experience problems immediately, it almost certainly will in the longer run, grounding those planes while they have parts replaced, and costing a fortune in new parts, because most of the shown damage in the pictures is not safely fixable.

It can't always be true, I had a higher IQ than my older sibling when we were tested.

This is by far one of the dumbest ideas in the history of mankind. It'll just cause panic for no reason!

1. Form factor
2. Lack of a compelling device

People need to understand why a simple reboot fixes half of their problems.
