Children do take care of DVDs. Three and four year olds, with jam coated fingers, with peanut butter, etc, are careful to hold the dvd between thumb and forefinger. Their hand dies not have the span capability to hold the media from centre to edge, as we adults would do.
Rethink your response about other competitors. A) Why have small margins, when larger ones are possible? B) What will finance R&D development, if it is not some of the cream from the overpriced stuff? C) How to support a roulette gambling habit?

I heard about a Montreal Hospital exchanging digital xrays with an Austrialian hospital. When radiologists are asleep in one country, they are awake in the other, and as long as volumes of xrays are within reasonable limits, the radiologists are not overburdened. Most new Xrays are digitalized, so film xrays as we know it is passé, except for dentists, and here too, it is moving to digital.
E-books are 1/4th the price of paper books. And typically, the schools spend up to $90 per year on paper books. The savings (taken for 3 successive years), more than covers the costs. Also, a lost iPad would mean student pays to replace it.
His parents were members of my synagogue. Word around is that this WS is not as nice person as that person portrays himself.
His ego and arrogance gets in the way.

Most of Latin America are moving away from the hollywood glitz of the USA. We foreigners don't like the "Corporate American Greed", and how it is exemplified on USA TV.
Did you know that in the past 10 years, 50,000 Canadians became American Citizens, but 500,000 Americans became Canadian Citizens.
USA is a country that does not care for it's citizens. It cares for big business and big profits, on the backs of it's citizens.
Obama is the first bit of intelligence I have seen in the white house since I was a teenager. Clinton was second. I am today 70.
My son who lived in NY state for 10 years, and in Florida for 3 other, is happy to no longer live in the USA. When I asked why, his reasons were simple.
USA does not care for its citizens, and really does not care the the sick who can be cured, die, and therefore they care even less for others. Irac was a war to guarantee Oil to the USA. Afganistan is to sell Armaments, and who cares how many soldiers die off shore. Profits and jobs are worth it.
I guess I am too cynical.
There is always room for collusion between a student's wallet and his professor.
Final exams should be mandatory. The exams should really test basic knowledge only, if the assessment is based on a project.
Stress can also damage a student's career, if the exam is not at the same level as the project that student had to complete.
I presume it means that if service is throttled for one, then it must be throttled for all. There is nothing there that says that ISPs must go max out with delivery speed.
It is obvious. I use linux, I use Flash, I like Adobe who, unlike MS, is trying to keep its application clean and functional. Microsoft is predatory, and if they succeed in displacing Adobe, say goodbye to royalty low costs for flash and say hello to high charges fro Silverlight
How do I make testing software more stimulating? Do you mean that you would find a way to connect it to a vibrator?
Or do you mean
How do I make the testing of software more stimulating? Here I would understand, how to relieve boredom.
Interstate highways are government regulated. By consensus, the upper speed limits are imposed at all government levels, and are usually consistent.
So should be the same for the internet. Only the police or other law enforcers should be able to go faster, beyond the net-neutrality speed.
It is quite simple.
In the old days, my parents worked in the needle trade at a sewing machine, and got paid for piecework. Today, it is the desktop and the pay is in proportion.
Who wants to work at the lowest of global salaries. So choose a better profession. (Electrician, Plumber, etc)
In a banking environment, at 60-80 transactions a second, C++ would increase response time by 5 milliseconds per.
When you add up the delays, a person standing in line at an ATM or a cashier in a branch will experice up to 15 seconds of delay.
In an ATM lineup, the 7th person in the queue is assured to wait an extra minute or two.
So, to keep customers, banks would have to add more atms, and more horsepower.
Why don't negative people go home and put their heads in the sand. Linus delegates responsiblity and there are enough second in line persons who could stand-in.
Linus is a team player. Teams don't fall apart if the leader takes a vacation.
When I worked on recording rotation of a shaft or displacement of a piston, we used gray code interface devices.
One feature of the gray code versus binary code, is that for any positional move to an adjacent one, only one bit changes.
Logic in the form for gray to binary code is frequently done in groups of 4 bits or to base 10, (so we can get 16 distinct adjacent positions with only one bit difference between any two.
The way it works is that when one digit (hex or decimal) reaches it's max value, the next decade changes and the code now starts to count down.
As long as ALL bits are being correctly detected, gray-coding is flawless. But if there is a wiring connector problem, or if there is dirt between the detector and the transmitter, and a high order bit changes, the result can be a registering of a very large value, when the actual shaft position is around zero, the home position.
The error can be random, and in a car, could be introduced due to static, due to high humidity, or just a read-failure.
What is required, is duplicate encoders via separate datapaths. If one encoder shows low value, while the other shows high, it's time to record the problem and run to the repair shop.
Naturally, all testing will only show that lab vehicles have clean connections, and that is a shortcoming in testing. The tests should examine what happens if the encoder is in a fixed position near zero, and one removes one signal at a time.
My view, dual sensors with separate datapaths will be and must be required for the critical areas of accelerator and brake pedal position detection.
Sorry to be pedantic. Just my rambling on about experience that I had 50 years ago, with gray-encoders.
If they are able to use FOSS stuff after a few hours, without training, and without having a document to point out the equivalents, that is just great. It shows how far FOSS stuff has progressed over the years.
I would like to know what software they were using. Was it BSD or linux based, or was it FOSS stuff under windows? It would be very nice to know,
I believe that some manufacturing jobs can be exported, but it should be prohibited from exporting designs and technology that can result in loss of domestic jobs.
When you take away domestic jobs, you take away the opportunity for purchases of your product. You actually lower the average standard of living, in the originating country (USA). In fact, the USA is today much poorer then it was before BUSH and Global manufacturing. Others have brains. No country has exclusivity on knowledge.
So, Intel says it should be taxed. What should be taxed are the bosses, and not the shareholders.
When you cut down trees, and you change land use to flat farming, you contribute very substantially to global warming.
Need one say more.
Plant trees where you can, as is done in Israel, and turn dessert into usable land.
Four diodes in a bridge circuit, allow AC (polarity reversing voltage, to always have one way dc output Put the same in place for each battery (say, even at the cell level contact, as in a device with 4 AA or AAA or other size batteries, and polarity will no longer make a difference.
It just adds a few pennies to the cost of a device, and perhaps, even saves on warrantee if the individual installed the cells in reverse, causing electrolytic capacitor damage,
Should be standard in all devices.
Stop Joking that Shatner qualifies. He may be a Canadian by birth, but not by mindset. His parents were members of our Synagogue, and are buried in the local cemetery. Never heard of William being in town.

Illegal in the USA, but not illegal in all countries or jurisdictions. And especially if not advertised as being the doer.

Time to look at Mexico and doing a takeouer... If you don't, the drug lords will take over the Southern States.

Why can't the ISPs each ask the RIAA for written permission to post their content, no matter how irrelevant.
