No kidding. A good monitor lasts much longer than the computer it's attached to. Keeping a screen from one hardware generation to the next is one of the biggest cost savers available to the cognoscenti. Never mind that the computer you make to plug into your TV is wholly under your control.
Executives, politicians, anyone with enough clout to be gambling big has a tendency to say things that they want to be true as if those things already were true.
It's clearly a good gamble. If your thing does happen to be true then you look like the guy in the know. If your thing doesn't come true then you and the other loosers are gonna be too busy worrying about fixing the thing to go back to all that bs you were spewing earlier.
I would love to see what it is that predicts these actions, and see if it says anything about whats going on.
I was hoping for the same info. I am left to figure that it is the obvious items, like approaching the intersection above the speed limit, accelerating at the yellow, perhaps a recent lane change.
Interesting to me is when I am in traffic and I think "That guy wants to cut me off" or "This guy wants to get the jump on me when the light turns green". Sometimes I can point to a behavior and say 'there's the tip-off', but often as not I just get a feel that they're driving aggressively. The automotive body language is (perhaps) emitted and read unconsciously.
Hey, can I get some of that over here? Subsidizing a group to foster technical innovation in the general population is just what this country needs. I'd totally join a hackerspace, but the $50+ / month doesn't sound like a good deal to me. If gov't spending were to bring that down then maybe I'd be ready to join, and who knows what could happen from there?
You know that "hackerspace" is an already existing term, right?/. mods didn't choose to mash together "china" with "hacker" in this article based on some agenda. It's an existing thing that already has a name, and some are in China.
You misunderstand. Blocking alternate operating systems is a goal of TPM, but they've failed at it time and again. People with the know-how install whatever they want... But they have blocked the naive mom & pop user...
If they've blocked most of the population, I guess I wouldn't say they've failed...
I remember when doritos were closer to tortilla chips than they are now. They always had that flavor dust on them, as far as I know, but these days I'd say they're closer to cheetos (flavorless crunch substance + flavor dust) than they are to tortilla chips.
They had nacho cheese and then they introduced the ranch flavor ones. Everyone loved the ranch ones. Jay Lenno used to sell them, before he got rich enough that he didn't have to bother.
Then they became "Nacho Cheesier" and "Cooler Ranch". I don't pay any attention to them any more because they are gross. It probably lowered their costs somehow to make cheaper chips and obliterate their flavor signature with the dust.
I used to wish that they still sold the old flavor intensity version, but it's probably better for me that they don't.
Of all the things I learnt in college, the most important parts were unrelated to coursework. No matter how good the online classes, if they de-emphasize the physical space and community they I think them a disservice to the students.
($13 mil sounds like a lot, but to a large bank it's pretty much pocket change. With lots of people involved it would give fairly mediocre payouts)
The profitable part isn't standing there, withdrawing (say) $200... The profitable part is selling the chance to withdraw $200 for $100 through your organized crime network to a few hundred people. "load this track on your card-cloner, use this bank network and this pin, withdraw $200 between 8:00 pm and 8:15 pm on this date." Then you get to make a chunk of change, and also gather a retinue of hacker-thugs who consider you to be "THE BOSS" that provides a payout to feed your criminal mastermind ambitions.
Flying cars will only be a reality if they're autonomous.
Yes! No user input during flight. The entire flightpath should be calculated and vetted before takeoff. And in fact one could provide the specific impulse during launch and make the greater part of the flight a glide path, offloading engines and keeping the actual transport craft to a minimum. Oh, gleaming future! Transportation via catapult, here we come!
You're right. What people would be concerned about was the bio tech who was exposed to a special, extra-virulent virus-based gene therapy. You know, right after he was hospitalized immediately following exposure. Or possibly when he called in sick to work soon after. Or when he reported signs of illness to the authorities. After any of those almost unavoidably probable events the CDC would have been notified, (probably before the Great Ape Escape) and in the ensuing investigation it would have all come out about the apes, though the actual action taken would be hard to predict. No one knows they're in a movie until the credits roll, after all.
Senior management limits on income - no more than 5x the lowest paid employee. Want your million dollar a year check? then everyone else gets at least 200k. This includes bonuses, incentives, perks, look at it as the total package - anything with any value whatsoever is included in this calculation.
I'm down with your sentiment here, but this would only push the outsourcing of the lowest paid individuals. I'm personally more pro on a "big taxes for big paychecks" kind of thing. The threshold for big paychecks could be related to regional or country average pay, maybe. Or maybe tie it to a multiple of minimum wage. If everything above (e.g.) a million dollars annual pay is taxed at 95%, why bother to even get paid that then? Leave the money instead with the company where it can *gasp* benefit the company. Of course, IANA-tax-lawyer, there are likely issues to be worked out.
Random anonymous people on the net can't harm you.
Ah, but that is where you are wrong! Not that I am for the abolition of anonymity on the internet. Still, to portray the problems that arise from it as merely getting one's panties in a twist over the free speech of another is either silly or misleading.
Spam, viruses, identity theft (oh irony!), 419 scammers, cyber-espionage and terrorism and other badnesses use internet anonymity. Again, I wouldn't turn off anonymity if I could, but it does lead to actual problems and loss along with advantages and win.
Any who risk persecution take advantage from anonymity. This includes those who would be persecuted both unjustly and justly.
If you're looking at AR, NAD, and Mordaunt-Short, I think you're already out of the realm of what the article is talking about. The article talks about "Denon, Harman Kardon, Marantz, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, or Yamaha" available at big box stores. Cheap crap has always been out there, available for the buying. Remember the '80's all-in-one stereo, that came with some big monkey-coffin speakers, and maybe a cheap stereo-rack (with a glass door, held shut by a magnet), and had one big unit with the faceplate designed to make it look like separate components? Quality has always been there for those who seek it, and crap has always been there for those who don't. The article (link to the actual article, not the gizmodo stub - http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20082026-47/how-can-30-year-old-receivers-sound-better-than-new-ones/?tag=mncol;txt) simply mistakes today's crap for yesterday's quality. As if 1980 dollars were the same as 2010 dollars...

Maybe if quality was the #1 job, instead of 'safely-protected revenue stream,' our nation's economy wouldn't be such a horrorshow, either.
A thousand times yes!

They are essentially giving $500,000 to a bunch of people to sit on their ass and day dream.
Oh man. Are they hiring?
They do eventually own the planet, through a twist that's telegraphed in advance and completely plausible.
I guess I figure not so much, if your bio-research lab has any protocol at all for accidental exposure.
