I get it - if someone makes a bold declaration that something will never happen, within a few years that thing usually happens.

Right of center as compared to what? If you compared the positions of the Tea Party to conservatives of the mid 90's or even to the conservatism of the 80's, then they fell off the deep end shortly after the term Tea Party was coined. As I see it the Tea Party is far to the right, they should create their own party and let the Republican Party represent the more moderate(sane) members of the party.
I think they are raising taxes on the oil and gas companies and not directly the oil and gas that consumers purchase. However, to your point they probably spend a very little percentage of their billions on gas or heating oil but that's not what the article is about.
I agree, maybe Google should invent a protocol that will authenticate you if you tap your head on the computer... Preferably several times and extremely hard, I seem to do that for several hours a day any way.
But in all seriousness, if the protocol had the option of forcing the user to touch the smart phone screen in a certain pattern (like a lock screen) to identify that it was the intended user holding the phone then I don't think it would be an issue. Except for the fact that you have now added another password to your phone to protect all of your other passwords.
Not to worry I'm sure we'd bring you Brits along for the ride, just like we'd bring along the Cunucks, Aussies, etc. Ruling the world isn't any fun without a posse.
Good point! But at least people aren't stupid enough to enter every detail of their life into a massive database that could describe the network of people that you associate with, along with photos of you and said people. Or couple such information to their portable GPS enabled electronic devices that can be remotely enabled and tracked at any point in time. That would just be stupid! Who would do that!
BTW whats your facebook name I'll hit you up from my phones facebook app!
What your suggesting is like trying to teach someone how a car works by first showing them a horse drawn carriage and telling them you'll work up to the real thing. I say throw them in head first and from there it's sink or swim. There's already a dearth of moronic programmers no need to create a whole new generation of them.
Do you really think it took an infinite number of monkeys to write The Pacifier? My guess would be 2 chimps a bonobo and maybe a gorilla (to simulate Mr. Diesel).
Jack PC Sales Man: Hey potential customer this PC has no power cable!!! This is the next big thing.
Potential Customer: No power cable? Really? But it still uses electricity right?
Jack PC Sales Man: Of course, don't be silly.
Potential Customer: So where does the power come from?
Jack PC Sales Man: From the ethernet cable!!!
Potential Customer: So you're using the ethernet cable as a power cable? How is that not the same as having a power cable?
Jack PC Sales Man:...um....ugh...It's an ethernet cable. You can now get rid of that unsightly power cable and get the power from this other cable that's not a power cable.
The patent system is so broken. You can get a patent for anything, Scott's Toliet Paper should hurry and get the patent for wiping your ass front to back before Cottenelle does first.
Absolutely right, they are not the same cultures. One culture promotes hard work, intelligence, and success and the other 'culture', if you can call it that, promotes stupidity, crime and drugs. Hmm.....I wonder why one culture does so much better than the other on IQ tests. That argument is a cop out, if you choose to be a moron then don't complain when you do poorly on an intelligence test.

VB is total garbage, C# is hands down better in every regard. Starting VB vs C# maelstrom, in 3....2...1....GO!

That solution is so simple its a wonder no one has thought of it yet, but where would you put the flux compactor?

Only for the people who show interest and keep asking about them!
An Indian company as said that they can clean up the mess caused by the collapse of the Chinese building in only 60 days.

Are we any closer to having a working fusion power plant within our life times?

If a burglar climbs in through your window is a dead bolt on your door enough to keep him out. This and more at 11.

In that case this must be a proof of concept, the actual facility needed to do such a simulation would need to be much bigger.
pirate treasure chests?!?!?!?
you forgot to close your tag.......there I did it for you. Wouldn't want you to have a comment that didn't validate.
that's a threat.
I believe the actual quote was:
Soviet Russia will break dis linux
But the article cleaned it up a bit.
I always keep a ready supply of strippers and/or drugs for just such a situation.

Or maybe use RAM to aide in Randomly Accessing little bits of Memory that the computer might need.
Can I get a patent to use a CPU to Centralize all or most of the Processing that a computer does into a single Unit?
