I've gotten 2 spam mails since i switched to gmail a few years ago. The summary is so negative, spam is pretty much gone, gates wasn't far off the mark at all.
What did china have to do with anything? There was nothing pointing to them. But hey guilty until proven innocent right? Why not point at non-spy civilian hackers? Congress is a fun target. Or how about one of the hundreds of other countries? What about Israel? Pointing fingers with no proof like this is embarassing/.
Thats like saying in times of war you need big bombs that randomly explode, who cares which side they damage. They are dangerous and thats good for war right?... Backstabbing people on your side is NOT good.

Lol well obviously It'd be redundant but keep in mind the price tag is still.005% of what is currently being spent. Make the system as big and redundant as you want 10x what i said.....05%. And the processing isn't that bad, they are just paths in 3d space which computers are very well equipped at figuring out. Especially GPUs and such. For emergency situations they have coded numbers for situations like cops and everyone else. If there is a misunderstanding then it can be bumped instantly to a human (if computer is only 60% sure of what it heard). The same way a phone company works. Make that up to.1% for 100 employees.
Judgment calls are fairly rare. Aside from what impression movies might give you emergencies like fuel leaks and such are rare. Also they are determined by the planes computer sensors so having that interact with another computer is no problem. Add a button on the plane for unusual situations then like terrirists lol. So we can also add a bureaucracy bringing us up to.15% now that we have enough employees. I know, we've all seen pushing tin. But directing the actual path of planes as i've said could be done by computer without any issues at all. How is hundereds of humans doing calculations any better than a computer? This is the exact type of problems computers excel at. And I had thought of these but originally I was just referring to actually directing the planes.
Listen to the japanese and READ the english. Take the subtlties from the vioce like normal and the script through the subtitles. It comes off way better. Only people that what a semi decent amount of anime prefer subs over buds on 90% of shows. Unless they don't liek reading, but thats not/.
Keeping track of and navigating a few million planes could be done on one server if it was well coded. Which would really cost like 500,000. I'm sure there are a bunch of other things that need doing but i'm so far off of 10billion that i've no idea how they got it that high.
What's the real story? Nobody goes into production without atleast you know having 1 prototype... They could have tried it first... It like a pretty serious obvious issue if it causes indefinite delays...
In the grand scheme of things a million a year isn't something to bitch about. I mean the... 'defense acquisition university' gets 120million... We spend 16billion dollars to fight IEDs. We spend 430million for 'polar research'... The office on violence against women gets 280million. Oh and my favourite 9.7Billion freaking dollars for air traffic control. Honestly that could be done by computers for several million dollars.
Really we should pay everyone there a million dollars a year just because their plan hasn't ballooned into something silly yet.
IBM/Samsung make THINGS so that makes sense. How did MS get so many? They don't make any THING aside from xbox. You think the divide would be alot bigger than it is.
I agree mostly. But so many people i see saying 'correlationisnotcausation' and feel that gives them the right to disregard the correlation entirely. Just because the study doesn't prove causation doesnt mean it can't very strongly imply causation. It doesn't mean all the data is worthless. It means 'this is something interesting that we should keep looking into'. With further studies alot of the extra factors could be removed further implying causation, strengthening the study.

Oooo they beat you to it sadly.
"without the need for an engine, sails or paddles"
Yes I see. And how does that make you feel?
We could blame India... i'm sure at this point they have the tech savvy and numbers to pull it off :P

How do the jewish feel about this truck? Sounds like an eco friendly gas chamber.

Thats not even remotely true... In america's history after the europeans took over fine. But globaly since civilization started not rly.

You should change it to Yugoslavia though. They had to make a 500billion dollar bill :p

Rush Limaugh is a national hero. That man has balls, to say the truth when facts are utterly against him.
I'm going to make a /. post next time Michael Morhaime (head of Blizzard) is hung over. Honestly, what other CEOs get this cult level of worship?
You could RTFA.... or comments further up the page....
Multiply that by the millions of computer users.......
I can boot to dos in like 1/100th of a second from windows in my 3Ghz machine......
