I think that lift-offs of rockets are 90 calculation and 10% luck. For North Korea, if one of their rockets had a Nuclear warhead, and it was fired, there is probably a 90% chance of rocket misfire, and the nuker being nuked by his own device.
If your application was approved for previous versions and the current version is a maintenance release, then they have to show that the maintenance caused glitches in their interface. Otherwise, I do believe you should go after them for stopping your product because it was superior to what Apple could offer, ergo conflict of interest such that YOU PAY with lost hours and lost dollars.
I hate dealing with egocentric people or products. I suppose one could put APPLE and jobs in that category
Once Net Neutrality is gone, everything will be tolled. Until the USA finds itself so far behind the rest of the world, that it will be to late.
With Net Neutrality gone, the ISPs will have enough clout to prevent new businesses (in Telecom) from forming, as the ISP clubers will control that new business's access to bandwidth.
The government established the nations highways, it is time they established the nations telecom highway. Do we need another President Eisenhower to build this nation's telecom industry.
Yes, highways have speed limits, and the global network should allow every user to travel at the posted limit. If not so allowed, the impact will be quite serious on technology and industry.
My son lived in Riga Latvia, a former Soviet bloc, and his termination at his apartment was fibre, at 8+x the speed of dsl or 3x the speed of cable. This same termination should be available to every household.
Its the energy consumption. A P4 consumes less power then the core 2 duo.
Perhaps they need arm cpus so that the systems will work in cloudy overcast conditions.
The Russians admitted that they used two nuclear bombs to stop the offshore well leaks in their seas. We don't know if it is possible to visit the site where the bombs exploded, but, yes, the leaks were stopped.
Perhaps as a result of plugging the Russian leaks, the oil is spewing out from the Gulf.
Not something to take in jest.
A new threat is the rfi key chip or remote control lock-unlock for vehicles.
Our local paper reported on a group of people placing their car and receivers in mall parking locks to record the remote key lock signals, and subsequently using them, to remotely open the targeted vehicle in order to steal contents from the latter. Avoid using the remote control car-lock feature.
If the TV station is out due to a power failure, so are the sets in all the homes. It is time for the FM radio to be turned on. In Montreal, one station runs at 500 watts and covers around a 10km radius from it's antenna.
We use VOIP. My wife is a prolific talker (she is from a family of 13). Our VOIP use is at least 4 hours per day.
So, this VOIP consumption is to be added to our already poor BELL Canada service that craps out every weekend in the evening, when they decide to drop their DNS servers to do maintenance.
Actually, we lose full access for at least 1/2 hour a week. Their outages are not stated, but I know they are planned.
I should ask for $10.00/hour of rebate for lost access time.
What is worse, our cable provider has a 20 gig limit on use. We stopped with them when Bell offered 100gig, now they are cutting back to 60gig.
I feel that with the situation being an oligopoly, we the consumers have no recourse but to pay or stop using the net.
They say they are providing the best Customer Service bar none. I find that hard to believe.
From what I can see, every other country (in a majority) do not agree with the USA, so the question is "Who is out of step?".
If I take the IP Laws to it's conclusion, you will eventually pay for internet connections the way you pay for electricity. And every topic you look at will have a charge. No, it is not DRM, but greed.
The USA, when seen from an outside continental non USA view is that the USA makes life impossible for developers and new applications, because the laws and the patents are controlled by a few.
The few will make you PAY and PAY and PAY.
By the way, Subtract 4.3 billion from the total earth population, and what you have left is the population of you know which countries, one of which is China
Thank Gd I don't have to suffer the US restrictions on my access to information.
In some ways, I would go for it, but only if my life were extended, and my wife agreed.
What are the advantages-- Simple. I used to have a great memory to learn. Still do, but not as fast at it. Takes too long for my existing brain to store data.
What about IQ. Well, the second brain could be smarter, after all, it would learn from me. I have almost 70 years of experience in thinking clearly and abstractly.
What about multiple languages? Gee, I know 3 now, and the second brain could learn another three. The question I have is "Is there a language for thinking", or do we translate thoughts to verbal through some intermediate crainial interface?
Would I be able to watch two TV shows on each set (4 shows in total).?
Ahh, I think I prefer to just stay as I am.
I have a live CD and boot that when I want to do my banking. Since I also live near a branch of the bank, my wife goes there to do most of the non-electronic transactions, such as extracting grocery money, etc. Why extract money? Well, I don't want to be a victim of a business whose site gets compromised and find there site secutity was or is a copy of the security shortcomings experienced by TJMAXX. I want to own my personal information and not worry about it after it was stolen.
Hydro Quebec has a sweet deal for homeowners who have dual energy. When the weather is above -12C (about 15F), we can use electricity to heat our homes at 4cents per kwhour.
Below that temp, home heating systems get a signal to go dual, with the second system being gas or oil heating. When in dual mode, the electrical cost increases to 10 cents per kwhour.
Problem is with heat-pumps that are most efficient, the warmer the outdoor temp. At -12C, efficiency is low enough to just keep on electricity full time.
What Steve Jobs is recommending is to get an Android phone because it can do more then the Apple product. The Adroid lets you the user chose what it is you want to see and the apps you want to install, without being constrained by someone's idiosyncrasies. Thanks SJ for the strong advice.
The Banks and their lack of prudence (politeness for greed), siphoned off much if not most of the US reserve. Now Obama (democrats) are blamed for the job recession. Actually, the Democrats are the victims too.
The sad part is that if the Democrats did not save the banks, most of the USA (and their trading partners) would be down the tube.
So, it is sad that for a few years, budgets have to be constrained so that the economy can rebound. This implies that the space program has to scale down. The result is that we will see a slow down in new technology, so that my laptop will be hardware wise, uptodate for 2 years, instead of 3 months. Wow, I may even be able to keep my other computers for much longer, saving me lots of money.
Of course, the Chinese hardware manufacturers will be disappointed, but thems the brakes (breaks).
Here in Montreal Quebec, we have shared insurance. Part of our driver's permit includes an insurance fee to cover, as some drivers are not covered and therefore the province ends up footing the bill. The result is that the Insurance companies cover what the Province does not.
The province put in place a law about two years ago, for cell phone use while driving. Both hands must be free. Ergo, the earpiece for communication with the cellphone via bluetooth.
The fine, $137, does not include demerit points, but it should.
Result-- A measured drop in minor car accidents (fender benders and more serious physical damage) and in injuries.
Consideration is being given to legislate that the ubiquitous car radio needs controls to allow it to be adjusted without needing to manipulate on dash radio knobs or buttons.
My son was considered brainy, or gifted. As a result, when we lived in Toronto Canada, he was invited to attend a school set aside for children like him. The programs started not with accelerated learning, but with enrichment. The quick learners were given opportunities to explore in more depth, the subjects in hand.
His switch to the Gifted Program took place in Grade 4. (When we moved from Montreal to Toronto, he was already bumped up one grade so he entered the gifted program, one year younger then his peers).
When at High School Level, we returned to Montreal, where no such gifted program existed, he was again bumped up one grade. That made him two years younger then his peers. We had a lot of social problems with acceleration.
His friends could get a drivers permit, but he had to wait two years, similarly, he had to wait two years for other social activities, because of age discrimination.
I would say that most school children can get enriched learning, and thrive. I in my youth, like the students of today, found school boring. Thats why I believe that the kids lose interest and why resluts are poor.
As I read in the press and the 'net, China does not respect copyrights. So, using DRM would only mean that the Chinese will employ ways to defeat DRM.
And since the market is so large (double that of the USA), it makes more enconomical sense to dispense with DRM.
I visited my son who was living in Latvia, a post communist country. The telecommunications for this country with a poor economy was superb. Fibre connection almost everywhere. His flat had voip telephone and internet, with amazing speeds. I could download a dvd image in very few minutes.
I am in Montreal, and for the normal user, I have VOIP telephone and DSL internet. It is not the best, but it is better then 2400 baud modem connections.
We should be expecting fibre everywhere very soon, as Video, Telephone and other services are demanding broadband access by home.
So, it's time the USA networks got into the 21st century.
The Fed Government built the interstate highways, it is time to build the telecommunication highway.
We went from typewriter to computer keyboard.
One thing about keyboard advantages is the tactile feedback that is necessary if we touch type. I touchtype at close to 100 words per minute. Therefore I conjecture that a keyboard will always be required.
It may come to pass that with sufficient software development, that the voice to text could replace the keyboard that is used for quick data entry.
I don't know though, if working on a flat panel with a beep signal for feedback will suffice as a keyboard replacement.
Is Poker included, or just horse racing, keno, and sports betting?
What about state lottery tickets? Are they to be included too.
Have we to go to the corner store to buy a lottery ticket?
It should not be a compiler option. I could request pooled memory for use as global, local, shared memory, semaphore or buffer and continue processing in anticipation that when I need it, it will be there.
Consider a simple case using C language
char *ptr = malloc(somememory amount);// Ask for memory using a new contrived malloc function to use the new facility
execute a few statements then
if (memory_obtained(ptr) == NULL)// wait for completion or test for failure to obtain memory
crash.....
else
continue working.
memory_obtained() is the function I use to test if I may need to wait for the new malloc() to complete,
If the test was done immediately, without intervening instructions, we are serializing our work. Is it a compiler function to do the blocking? I think not.
Good Idea for a research project. I like it.
I see a hyperlink as a reference. I draw the parallel for a library, where the index card contains the isbn number, the stacks location of the document, and some other relevant information (author, year, etc).
So this result from the judge was applying common sense.
There are several avenues open to you.
a) In my day we had Schaums college outline series, which included most math subjects. It was a great way to learn by oneself.
b) Put an add on craigslist for a local college student to give you some guidance. It should not be as expensive as a full time back to school option
c) Check your library for the dummies books.
d) I would call the highschool and talk to the principal to see if they can line you up with some bright student.

You must realize that HP has a 400% overhead so that $35 is really $8.00 elsewhere for the same quality.

Laches is still a french word, and it is prounounced law shay and rhymes with awa ché It means -- to let go --
