The desktop machine is here to stay. Don't think of it as being analogous to the typewriter, which, because of no embedded technology, disappeared, but think that it is a system for high volume data entry and also for fast compiling and batch processing of certain jobs.
I wont buy the overpriced xpads, until the price drops by 50% and the batteries are replaceable without soldering. With the large number of vendors hitting the market place, it wont be long before I am right about price. I also like to keep my devices for a long time,
Of my 4 home computers, only 2 are dual core running 64bit os's, so don't think I am a fuddy-duddy. The other two are Pentium 4s.
I also like my portable devices to have a meaningful battery life with the ability of replacing the battery, after it succumbs to old age. With one battery change, I managed to use my palm pilot for over 10 years, so lets see what we can do with an appropriate xpad device.
Just like the needle trade, the textile trade, the small appliance trade, and essentially all the USA's manufacturing trades, all have become deeply rooted in China, along with the lucrative jobs (lucrative according to China's cost of living).
So Americans, Just realize that there will be no long term future or jobs that you could take to retirement, unless you live in China. Even if GE supplies the products from the USA in the sense that the design is American, but the components are foreign, how long will it be before all of the work, from conception to product is gone there too. And I guarantee that hackers will get into GEs computer systems and copy the designs from GE's systems.
Short term gain for long term pain.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The way then is to explain to students that by maintaining tunnel vision, they will not be as skilled as the competition, and on graduation, will find it harder to get a good job.
In the class, you will have some GURUS, and try to get them to motivate their peers. See what you can do to make the use of Linux a positive experience. Good luck
Ever since Chrome came out, I have flipped between Chrome and FF. What I noticed with Firefox was the interface that I appreciated versus that of Chrome. What I liked with Chrome, was the fast execution, and no stalls, stalls that I think occur in Firefox when it does garbage collection, or memory defragmentation.
Hopefully, this FF browsing delay (noticable on my dual cpu desktop) will have been reduced significantly in the new version.
One could accept IOUs from the boss, after he also endorses them with his own holdings. And the overtime salary should be at an overtime rate. I would not do it as I have children to enjoy, and a wife who did not marry a machine. But, if the overtime was 1 day a week, and perhaps every other Saturday, I might consider it.
If one looks at technology, the transmitted information below light frequencies allows for using off-the-shelf devices to tune into a network and snoop or even interpose oneself as a man-in-the-middle to capture lots of confidential data.
By using modulated Leds, wireless frequency radiation is gone, to where a single cable can bring the signal to the overhead light fixture, and where, using light modulation, no signal inadvertently leaves the room. So, unless the toilet light fixture is wired, you will not be able to bring your laptop there to work while you are busy on the throne.
What Intel is doing is testing the waters. If the new chips do not decrease sales, then the drm stays. If sales decrease, business dictates that a family of chips without the feature be produced. Perhaps even today one can order a non drm cpu.
I only want functional code. Not bloat.
We have a great many Canadians who are migrating to China. I wonder why? I know that if you do not enter politics, and with good knowledge of English, French and technlogy, you will live very well. Much much better than life in North America.
There are the negative aspects that are to be considered (Crowding, cultural differences, etc,) but I can tell you that we get many foreign Chinese students who come to study, earn their PHD's and only 1/3 return to China, usually because of parents and grandparents.
I actually believe you are wrong. The economy is self sustaining. What the USA provides are armaments, manufactured to Israeli specs, because the technology in much of the US armaments was designed in Israel.
Israel has the highest per capita university graduates, phd's and technology break-throughs, from having designed the Pentium Processor, created the Email systems we use, and a lot more.
Israel, a country short of water has nevertheless found ways to irrigate produce and grow products that were described in the Bible. Global worming is a concern to Israel, Gaza, Jordan, and other mid-eastern countries, due to severe water shortages.
But Israel is able to trap the dew that arrives every night and use the water droplets for low lying plant irrigation. (Strawberries, etc.)
Would love for Americans to migrate to Canada. You would find the quality of life very fulfilling. The Canadian value system is that the dollar is not the god that we worship, but a means to allow us to raise families, live stress free, live with enjoyable work challenges, and with out the fear that an illness would bankrupt our household. Profit is part of that formula.
On the negative side, you would have to learn to speak Canadian, and think first Canadian, to be proud of and contribute to your community, as opposed to what you can pull from it. And you would have to leave your guns behind. We don't like small arms.
I also believe that your kids would gain a second or third langauge (English, French, and possibly Spanish) as well as a stiffer school Curriculum. We love multi-culturism and mutual tolerance. (At least I do).
Gee, it reminds me of the betamax versus standard video players. Even if your technology is great, there will not be any users.
And the problem with incorporating DRM in the processor is that the data still has to come down the pipe, and someone will determine how to attack the actual input file. Why don't they just use the TPM, which is motherboard based.
Will the tuoch screen send the nerves in my fingers a tingle? I need to know when I really depressed the key. What I thnk will happen before disappearance of the keyboard will be voice dictation to the laptop or device.
Who will need a keyboard then?
Will we be discussing how next to do away with the mouse?
Since there was more than one species, and as well other birds not in the exact same proximity to the fireworks, etc. I would guess that what killed them was toxic clouds, either from industrial chimneys or other noxius gases. The birds could not fly above or below and therefore expired from gas poisoning.
Gee, For the past two years I have been watching CSI Miami and CSI in general, and wow, face recognition and fingerprint recognition, seem to be well advanced as recognition methods. So what is the justification for the MS Patent.
Wonder why companies are moving R&D offshore? Wonder why the only part of the company that is left is a post-office box? Patents for ideas are non-patents. Imagine if I find a better way to calculate the square root of an arbirary number. I could patent it and then charge a royalty fee for it's use.
So, it's time to abolish software patents, or DIE.
If you work for a pharmaceutical company, you can almost be assured that the results are so accurate as to not ever bear questionning.
I believe and trust my life to what pharmaceutical companies publish as being factually correct and tested via double blind studies and very large populations.
American business == wake up. its time to realize that your US citizens jobs are being exported. Soon you guys will export your businesses (as IBM has done). Then Americans, you will have to find work in China, and become Chinese citizens. Global economies mean global citizenship. Sadly, the USA is truly on the downward slope.
Canadian citizen rights are slowly slip and sliding away. Our Prime Minister is a man that wants power, and does not listen to the population. He is too smart, so he thinks. In the end we need to dump him and get a better leader for his party.
The police are obviously not doing statistical sampling. They have TV cameras and from observation, believe that a car driven by a driver that is being handled in a non-normal way should be checked. I would not want that driver to end up killing or maiming some innocent victim.
If you do not want the test, then is it more than likely that you (the individual) has something to hide?
In the auto industry and similar manufacturing industries, you are quite correct.
In mother board and perhaps even wafer production, the MB is drilled by the same digitally controlled equipment for the new device as for the old one.
The cost is really for creating a new drill and component insertion program, and the big expenses are for setting up the marketing costs -- new boxes, new advertising, new docs and QA testing,
