Instant satisfaction is nice and all but we're done. I sent a nice to their customer service with a "before" jpg, my new power up card, which I was thinking of getting the "elite" version for. Then the new "after" one, shredded.
Programmer here. I develop for both Linux and Windows. With my limited knowledge of Linux the only debugger I know of is GDB. Yes, there are things like DDD but all of the ones I have seen appear to be a wrapper for GDB. I find it faster to do printf debugging on Linux than deal with GDB or a GDB wrapper. Windows I have Visual Studio, if you've used VS, enough said. While for the end user Linux is certainly better than Windows (unless you are a gamer) the developer is still going to pass his "savings" or lack thereof to his paying or non-paying customers. If I am wrong and there is something on Linux commercial or not please tell me so I can go out and buy/download it now.
"but for the sake of curiousity I'm going to ignore the article"
Even characters can be sold for ISK so everything can be broken down to an ISK equivalent value. It's like the people in any given MMORPG who farm materials to make item and are so happy they "saved" so much money rather than buying the raw materials from another player. When they could have sold those same raw materials for the same amount of money they have "saved" and yet they had to spend that time farming so it is really a net loss.
Ok, starting to feel a bit trollish here. Not trying to have the final word or anything so feel free to reply but only going to address a direct question now.
How much ISK did they have to sell to make $229,000? 6.1 Billion or so? Back when it was still possible to "get fat" on long limbed roes I made a little over 200mil ISK in my first month as a player. This was probably about 60+ hours of work even if it was mostly just clicking now and then to initiate the next warp or jump gate. If I wanted to buy that much ISK now would be about $8. That's about $0.13/hr. Even if someone was 200 times more efficient than that it the gross for 200mil would be $26/hr.
I am still an EVE n00b and don't even play anymore. So can an expert estimate how long it would take to make $200mil? How high is the risk? If you need a 2000mil rig to mine or whatever and the risk is high you stand to have your "profit" wiped out at any time. Bodyguards don't help much either because now you're dividing your gross by n players and multiplying your risk by n as well.
I just hope Digia stops insisting on calling it "Cute" the lady on the phone I talked to seemed offended when I called it "Queue Tee" and very pointedly corrected me.
Concrete is used all over the place air ie gas goes everywhere. Where there are cars and roads there are plenty of other places to use the air purifying concrete other than a road.
Sticky rice is for sushi and sushi alone. If the demand for sticky rice goes up then the cost for already expensive sushi goes up and we can't have that.
Get them Carnage Heart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnage_Heart. There are a couple of flash based games out there that have programming themes to them that would also work. Next get them Visual Studio Express and pick an entry level C++ book then a DirectX book, or if you really must, OpenGL.
Make possessing a 'burn-phone' a class III felony. Then make possession of a fake ID a class III as well. Pile on as many charges as you possibly can. They might not be able to make the drugs, murder, terrorism, etc charges stick but you can probably throw them in jail for 60 years by the time they're done. Finally, make the sentence up to the judges discretion so he isn't forced to give some poor kid 10 years for buying beer with a fake ID.
How is that useful in a biological or chemical attack? 11:05pm attack occurs, 11:06pm you've received lethal exposure to the biological attack, 11:05pm the next day...yep you're going to die to weaponized small pox alright. Or they could just use a chemical agent. After 24 hours they detect neither virus nor bacteria. Even if they could detect a chemical attack generally kills in a lot less than 24 hours.
How is this device even remarkable at all? If I bought 388,000 cable subscriptions I could totally DVR 776,000 shows at once is that any more significant?
For war, this is why a medical vehicle cannot be armed, it makes them a target, or more of one. From their advert I assume the idea is for an inferior force to have some sort of recourse versus a superior one. Well guess what this superior force has this thing called intelligence. They know you have shipping containers loaded with cruise missiles. They have one problem how can they tell a shipping container loaded with benign goods from one loaded with your lethal missiles? They can't. The solution is simple shipping containers now become priority targets, all of them. What the heck I am at war with you so either I blow up goods and hurt your economy or I blow up military assets sounds like win-win.
On the other hand a terrorist would probably think these are a great idea. Nobody is truly at war with them and intelligence against such groups is spotty it is probably a coin flip to get one of these containers through so simply send two or more of them and one should get through.
I am assuming that this prototype has some sort of serial number. I am also assuming that a person with permission of have a/the prototype have to sign it out. So whether they have one prototype of fifty they know who has what. An elementary investigation would quickly show which prototype was missing and who lost it. Gizmodo did nothing to harm his career. If Apple punishes the engineer, the engineer has one person to blame, himself.
In 1981 the population in the US was 229,465,714. In 2009 it was 305,529,237. With 437,500 Ham Operators in 1981 that meant 0.191% of the population were licensed operators. In 2009 700,000 meant 0.229% of the population were licensed. It would be more accurate to say that the gain is closer to 20% than 60%. But in the iStuff age for something that been around 100+ years a gain of 20% isn't bad at all.
The system itself is expensive on top of that you need a catalyst. They fail to mention how much the catalyst costs, or how it is added to the gas. Do I have to carry around bottles of the catalyst and add it each time I fill the tank or is there a secondary tank? How long does the catalyst last? If it is a secondary tank then that's just one more thing to break down. It all sounds counter-productive since if you can afford the upfront costs and whatever the additional ongoing costs are you can afford to spend 50% more on gas.

A strike on your house itself will have an unpredictable path and could easily bypass the single point of protection. Goodbye refrigerator.
Population in 2006, ~6.5 billion, population in 2011 ~7.0 billion, a gain of 7.69%. HAM radio's "gain" from 2005-2011? It was less, 5.69%.

Go somewhere that people exercise their livers.
If you look good enough from the neck down (from all the exercise) the previous 50 some years will be that much more enjoyable.

Correction, 6.1 trillion.

You're right, I suppose the better question would be is the catalyst "inhibited, deactivated or destroyed by secondary processes".
The system itself is expensive on top of that you need a catalyst. They fail to mention how much the catalyst costs, or how it is added to the gas. Do I have to carry around bottles of the catalyst and add it each time I fill the tank or is there a secondary tank? How long does the catalyst last?
