Wouldn't it be more beneficial for them to work with companies that are already producing electric cars? Instead of trying to develop an entire car, how about producing and perfecting their electric motor. Be the supplier to Tesla; seems like it would help Tesla get their cars out faster. With that capital, produce, supply and perfect the batteries. Then other components one by one until they produce the entire car.
I have my router in my basement. I've covered the LEDs with black electrical tape because otherwise, after a few months, I have spiders and all sorts of other little bugs hanging around and trying to get into my router. I'm not sure if the bugs caused any real performance issues, but it's nice to not have to clean the thing for every hard reset.
I bought a Panasonic microwave oven from CompuServe for my parents in 1984. This microwave is still working. Used pretty much every day for the last 30 years.
I recently built a system for my mother-in-law. It's as close to near-silent as I've ever built. It's more than she needs to browse the web and watch videos.
MB: GIGABYTE GA-AM1M-S2H AM1 2 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
MEM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Memory Kit Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R
PSU: Antec NeoPower 430
drive: Corsair Nova 2 SSD
Running: 14.04.1-Ubuntu
The thing uses such little power I actually had trouble with it rebooting. Initially I thought I had a buggy MB. The best I could tell; there wasn't enough current being drawn to stabilize the voltage. I swapped PSUs (with an identical Antec NeoPower 430 I had in my son's machine), re-organized the modular cables to be plugged next to each-other to possibly move both to the same rail, and the reboots stopped.
What I really want is a quality power supply that is rated for something below 200W. From what I can tell from the UPS, the power draw is between 15W and 90W.
Wouldn't this be akin to attempting to copyright a book title? Each API is a title for the implementation it describes. You can not copyright titles, names , short phrases and slogans. An API seems to fall squarely into all of these.
The first two games I ever played from LucasArts (Lucasfilm Games at the time) were Rescue on Fractalus and Koronis Rift. They were two amazingly well done pieces of work considering the hardware that it had to run on (Atari 800XL). I always had high expectations from LucasArts after playing the crap out of these two games for years.
Came here to say exactly that. Played Rescue on Fractalus for hours on the Atari 8bit.

LHC Success!

· Score: 2, Insightful
I've heard both "the LHC will create conditions not seen since the Big Bang" and "cosmic rays, of more intense energy than generated by the LHC, bombard the earth every day..."
Is there a subtlety here that I'm missing? Does the LHC create an environment not seen since the Big Bang but consisting of energies less intense than cosmic rays?
It seems like one quote was kept since funding request days and the latter generated for allaying the doomsayers.
Narrator: In A.D. 2101, war was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you!!
CATS: How are you gentlemen!!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
CATS: Ha Ha Ha Ha....
Operator: Captain!! *
Captain: Take off every 'ZIG'!!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'ZIG'.
Captain: For great justice.
Gartner's wording shows a definite bias against those using alternative income techniques. Here's another way to read their summary:
"Gartner's latest survey into the realm of phishing shows increased income for 2007, with record revenue of $3.2 Billion (that's Billion, with a B) U.S. Dollars. Overall income per incident fell (to $886 from $1,244 made on average in 2006) but the numbers of individuals who subscribed rose quite sharply from 2.3 Million in 2006 to an impressive 3.6 Million. Though online portals Paypal and eBay remained the most useful brands, it appears phishing entrepreneurs are getting more creative utilizing fake electronic greetings cards, foreign businesses, and charitable organizations in their portfolio of profit generating techniques. Furthermore these budding corporate executives are increasingly taking interest in debit card and banking credentials rather than credit cards, because the alternative income technique protection mechanisms there are far weaker, according to a study done at The University of California at Berkeley."
Yep, missed it. But the "Save as OpenDocument" is only available from the "Docs Home" page under "More actions". It's not available when you're editing the document from the File menu.
Oh, please. Much of Linux is just copied from other OSes. Apple steals/copies/acquires all the time too (Konfabulator/Fingerworks/etc). Same with Google. Let me check my initial post; did I mention Linux, hmmm nope. Apple, no not that company either. Google, yikes, that's three strikes. What you seem to be implying is "Microsoft does not innovate and see other companies don't either." I guess I would have to agree, there are other companies that do not innovate. Although just because a company/kernel copies ideas does not prove that they lack innovation. But if you are hard pressed to see one innovation related to a company/product that was not the result of acquisition/copying; I think you would have to concede that they lack innovation.
Microsoft generates plenty of innovation, much of it never productized. So, you're saying Microsoft actually does innovate. It just doesn't 'productize' it because...? Maybe it's just too fantastic to be accepted by the general public right now.
Go visit the MSR website and stop talking shite. Let's see what the MSR website show us:
F# -- a functional language:
F# combines type safety, performance, and scripting with the advantages of running on a on a modern runtime, Microsoft Research said. It supports interactive scripting like Python and the strong type inference and safety of ML. F# can access.Net libraries and database tools. A nice language, no doubt, but nothing innovating here. This is a conglomeration of other languages.
Digital Watermarking -- The term was coined back in 1993. Rico Malvar seems like a pretty smart guy, but this is an improvement on an old idea.
HotMapRemarkable? Actually no. Showing what portions of an interactive map are the most active by color-coding the map may be interesting; maybe even unique. But to say that this is a real innovative idea would get you a chuckle.
Does anyone remember 8 years ago during United States v. Microsoft when Microsoft proclaimed how innovative they were and how any interference from the government would stifle their innovation? They actually had a website to this effect, I forget the URL.
I think a perfect settlement would have been for Microsoft to continue business as normal and innovate all they want, the only restriction being that they not be allowed to buy any more companies. If they are this magnificent well of innovation and ideas, go ahead, show us. 8 years later, with effectively no penalties actually imposed on this company, the best they come up with is a plan to buy 100 web companies in the next 5 years.
What innovations have we had from Microsoft in the last 8 years?

So I guess the FDA wants the dictionary changed too. And pity poor milkweed. It can’t be renamed to just weed, that would be a big problem...
Juiceweed. There. and b.t.w. we live in the Juicyway galaxy.
I just came to make sure this comment was here.
Is the robot required to be Muslim? AFAIK non-Muslims are not allowed to hold Saudi citizenship.

Wouldn't it be better to use roller balls instead of wheels to stop this behavior?

I've never had a Twinkie, and I'm fairly certain I qualify as a geek. I just wish they'd bring back Spaulding Kruller donuts.

I had a similar bug but on different hardware. Eventually I ended up manually installing lightdm 1.3.3. It fixed the hang problem.

That's all I can think of.
Sorry, yes I also forgot that OpenOffice's default format is ODF.
Yep, missed it. But the "Save as OpenDocument" is only available from the "Docs Home" page under "More actions". It's not available when you're editing the document from the File menu.
Thanks!
Do you work for Microsoft, Anonymous Coward?
Have I missed it or does Google still not support saving/exporting documents in ODF?

Prior to that we have web based email (HotMail), web browsers,
