I've found this only works if you have a client who doesn't want to force you into a fixed bid contract. That also means that you've got a history with the client and they already trust you.
My understanding was that the cell processor is used in medical equipment. When a cell is bad right out of the gate then it's plunked into a PS3. I have a feeling that numerically most cell processors are used in the PS3, but we all know the consoles provide little or no profit. Selling the 'perfect' ones for medical equipment or research purposes is probably fairly lucrative.
I blame women. No woman wants to go from weighing 95 units to weighing 209 units. It's like the designer clothes stores that makes their size 4 dress the same size as the cheapo brand size 6. Women will want to buy the size 4 because it makes them feel skinnier. You might have a better chance of getting us to measure weight in stones.. then our same woman would weigh just under 7 units.
This guy is the reason the rest of us have to deal with such draconian security measures around the office place. He has made life worse for everyone he works with and everyone whose CEO reads about this in the newspaper.
It's still the best option on the market for that type of gaming interface. It doesn't take a fanboy to recognize that. Nintendo took a big risk, it paid off for them in a big way. All the other consoles are just more of the same.
First of all, it's no surprise that it wasn't included from the get-go. It was a MAJOR risk by Nintendo to try a new type of controller. No one else had pulled anything like that off on any significant scale. In the probably 3 years it's been since the thing was initially given to game developers for beta testing they've probably made a lot of headway in how to make a more sensitive module in mass production at the price point they need.
Secondly, you're probably right about how useful it will be. Very few, if any, game developers will be able to develop games specifically for the new remote. They'll all have to be backwards compatible. It really depends on how easy/good the compatibility layer is which will likely determine how it gets used. There will be, however, a few key games which will all but require the new remote. I'm betting that a Star Wars game will be one of those. Heck, I'd be happy if Mario Kart Wii got a patch so the steering wheel would be as accurate/responsive as the nunchuck for steering.
PDFs are an open format, and as of version 1.0 Google Desktop indexes PDFs. I think all the trouble you have with them is by design.. Businesses love PDFs because they're harder to manipulate.
Go easy on flash. At least people don't litter the world with applets. Now THAT would be hideous. And besides, with noscript on I rarely ever see any flash I don't want to.
I've never had problems since flash 9 came out. I do have a discrete graphics card but this machine is like 5-6 years old tech. I think that's a very big YMMV thing.
Everyone may say that would be too little, too late, but preemptive strikes are un-American. I disagree on two counts. First, this is not a preemptive strike. This is the punishment for past wrongdoings. I would liken it to being on parole. The 'police' watch over you very carefully for a while to make sure you keep your nose clean. Secondly, it's no longer correct to suggest that preemptive strikes are un-American. That has been our standing military policy since at minimum 5 years, and arguably longer than that. It is in fact, you, who are un-American. (even if I agree with your stance).
I can name 1 app that advertises that it runs under wine. It's called Picasa, and that's produced by one of the largest firms in the industry. Thanks for playing though.
You neglected to mention the quality of code which comes from the women in your group. You did mention that the CEO was a woman in a way that a reader might assume indicates that the only reason you have women coders is because you have a woman CEO. At the shop I work in, we have one woman coder on staff and currently one woman contractor. Both of them write code which seems to be on par with the rest of the staff. I do agree with the comments in the summary though, whenever we get a 'hotshot' programmer in here it seems like they try to make the most complicated solutions to simple problems.
I don't think the question should be "How does evolution fit within my God hypothesis?" I think the question should be, "What conclusion does my evolutionary data support?" The answer to that question may lead you to create a God hypothesis, which you would then invariably need to test more directly. However, looking at the situation from the perspective you described is like trying to decipher the revolution of the stars and planets about the Earth, because the Earth is in the center of the universe.
Google has already released an OS for phones. I think the general perception is that the hand-held device market is the 'future', so I find it unlikely that they'll make their own distro. They may sort of accomplish this through a partnership with a pre-existing distro just to extend the brand, but I don't think they'll bother with that either.
I think there's some misconceptions in a lot of places about what open source is good at. Open source is good at commoditizing software that 'everyone needs' like: e-mail, web browser, instant messenger, document processor, etc. It's also good in other areas, don't get me wrong, but I feel this is where the open source movement shines. Also, it isn't free. The only part of open source that is free is the part which is an infinite resource (copies of the software/code). Time and support is not free, which is why that costs money. *shrug* Oh well.
I think it would be funny if it really worked that way. Okay Mr. RIAA, I 'stole' one copy of Metallica's album. Here's 10k copies in return. You owe me $5 million. Thanks, and come again any time!
I doubt they'll sell your health information to other people. It'll be more like "If someone has a history of back problems, show them an ad for my pain relief drug." Of course, I've been wrong before... I personally have no intention of using Google Health, but I wouldn't particularly mind that kind of thing.
I personally have never once in my life had my anti-virus software snag a virus. To my knowledge I've never had one except for the time I intentionally installed back orifice on a machine some ~10 years ago for testing. The idea of spending money on anti-virus seems like a complete waste to me. I've used either the free subscriptions offered with new machines or free antivirus solutions as far back as I can remember, and never even an alert.
I think it would be really interesting to boot my computer into "energy conservation mode" which doesn't even power up the hard disks but allows me to browse the web and send e-mail with near-instant on capability. Then, if I needed more 'stuff', I could switch to "normal" mode and get to all the rest of my stuff if need be. Having spent some time using things like feather linux, the responsiveness of using a RAM disk would make almost ANY average user wet themselves with glee.

This story comes up just as the new X-Files movie comes out. Coincidence? I think not.
I don't consider any webapp that opens its own special window to be decently made. The window I open you in should be quite sufficient tyvm.

You obviously have never worked for a large IT firm.
Probably smaller than the portion which is Firefox in disguise. :)

NewEgg has a few color laser printers in the $200 range, so I find your post to be highly suspect.
