To "pull a Snowden" someone would first of all have to have some guts, conscience and a deep love for the values the United States of America once stood for.
Where in the DHS would you find someone like that?
No, just a personal impression how much my work computer sucks these days.
Everything persisted, including page file, going through a virtual drive that has a cryptographic algorithm applied both directions is slow as hell.
Well, they've already become AAPL - their margins are almost identical at around 20%. But that is down from the roughly 30% margins they enjoyed over the last 5 years. And the trend is downward. A pessimist might look and see them trending towards Samsung's 12% margins if they insist on ramping up their hardware business.
They're investing money in the idea that the stock is undervalued.
Revenues up, profits down. Odd. Revenues up all the time because inflation.
Stocks don't reflect real business performance.
I agree that it is hard, but we've had over a hundred years of public education to figure this out. I suspect some combination scoring from peers, parents, and administration along with maybe some test scores. We have to do something, and that is why I don't push too hard against the standardized testing - despite the obvious flaws, at least they are trying to affect change. It should be completely routine to lay off the bottom performing teachers in a district each year or so. Tiny districts are exceptions, of course - but most of your cities and suburban schools would stand to benefit.
You consider a world where nobody has to work as a utopia. My observation is just the opposite. If you take effort away from people, they tend to become entitled, lazy, selfish, and (ironically, with more leisure time) miserable.
Where are you getting this from? I detect a very basic failure to either apply critical thinking or reading comprehension.
Pretty much.
Got a conscience? Second guessing your motivations? Questioning your actions? Sorry, you're no material for us.
Patents aren't the only problem. Cell phones are held to exacting standards that must be certified (at least in the USA), a expensive and time-consuming necessity. Take a hackable phone (I believe Nexus phones are) and design your new OS to run on that.
No. Avoid those hats! There is an MIT study that shows that it actually amplifies certain frequencies of potential mind-control radiation.
Created under GWB, and the left hated it, extended under BHO, and the left goes silent. I'm trying to figure out at what point does principle gets put aside for politics?
It looks like JackieBrown is paying for a capability that is mostly unused but occasionally wanted. That's considerably different.
