I worked for Ball Aerospace during this time frame. Before the final packaging for putting the telescope on the rocket, there was supposed to be a final laser alignment test to check the all the components and to make sure everything was alligned properly. (This test would have cost about $50000) But the government told Ball to skip the test as they knew everything was correct. This was done to save money. The Ball team objected but was overruled. The final alignment test was never done and we know the rest of the story. "Saving" that $50000 cost several billion to fix it in space instead of on the ground.
I haven't baught a Sony product since the Rootkit fiasco. Looks like they not only didn't learn ANYTHING from that but they continue to show disdain not just for their customers but also for the actors that work for them. They need to go. I honestly don't know why anyone would ever buy their products.
We are using Catalyst drivers to run 4K monitors in our operations center under Xubuntu. They are working great for the operator workstations! I had to get the latest drivers from the AMD site in order to get both the resolution and HDMI sound working but work it does. Love these big 50 inch monitors. No we don't play games we're just keeping the lights on. (Electric utility) We are also running CentOS with Nvidia cards to operate our video wall. Each has 4 Nvidia cards with 4, 4K outputs each to drive 8, 80" custom built Planar monitors acting as a single logical screen. I've had much more problems getting the Nvidia drivers working but Nvidia tech support has been very helpful.
Not quite. Look at the Samsung mini line. Galaxy S III mini or S 4 mini will work great for you. I returned my Galaxy III because it was too big but I love my S III mini.
The hardest thing is keeping myself from choking the living shit out of some corporate manager who desparately needs it due to changing the requirements every other day or so.
OK, I'll look it up. According to Websters: "Pandemic: occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population" I don't think any of those you listed fits the definition. Just saying.
Unless you are off the grid and have your own wind farm you do not get all of your electricity from wind. Oh, the power company may charge you more but those electrons on the transmission system can't tell which houses are paying extra for wind power and which aren't. I'd bet most of your power either comes from coal or nuclear plants. (Yes, I work for a power company.)
Tell this to Capt. Sully. When you are travelling over 200 MPH the closing speed is so fast you can't really react fast enough. Um, tell it to the Geese too! An airline pilots job is hours of boring flights punctuated by moments of shear terror.

Where is the American Dictatorship? Have you looked in the White house? Can you say executive order? You are a fool and deserve what you get.
/. administrators! Can't you block this crap from spewing across almost every article? Whoever is posting this stuff is a douche nozzle.
The creators of the app have an ethical obligation to ensure that people reach the same conclusions as the developers.

Mod this up! I've been asking the same questions for years now and still haven't seen any answers. I've also come to the same conclusions as AC.

Do the research here then send the details so they can be subverted... Oops I meant manufactured in China. That'll do a lot of good.
No email from them to me....

It cannot be atmospheric pressure, given that he demonstrated that a syphon works in a vacuum. Please RTFA before you post.
It's heavy and slow but the thing won't die. It still runs some home automation X10 stuff from the 80s.
Easy answer, money and greed. The corporate overlords want more money not more security they have to pay for.
Easy answer, money and greed.
Why does anyone, anyone whatsoever, think that attaching their critical national energy infrastructure is a good idea?"
Easy answer, money and greed.
Correction: Ubuntu WAS doing more than anyone to bring Linux to the desktop. There, fixed that for you.

Never heard of the RIAA huh?
Yes the lead bird works harder but in fact does benefit from the V formation behind them. Mythbusters was able to measure the effect.

Come on! Everyone knows the first French fries were made in grease... ;-)
I've called Xerox support. It's not working! Clueless management must be their hallmark.
