I swear converting from the incandescent to the LED style looks like the difference between the NCC-1701 and the NCC-1701D (reflector dish).
Plus total cost of ownership will be lower (incl. energy used) if it lives anywhere near the quoted lifetime.
No no no! This is Windows 9, not Server 2015. Server 2015 will still maintain the Modern interface and force you to use the start screen.
Your rumors are stale, Mr. Coward. From what I hear, Microsoft plans to integrate Kinect technology into Server 2015 as user testing has shown many data center workers have been using "hand gestures" when attempting to work with the Metro interface.
Except that parallel construction to circumvent the 4th would likely result in dismissal with prejudice, and possibly prosecution of the offending party, were it discovered. Ethics portion of basic criminal law course.
How do you prove it's actually parallelly constructed? Sounds like a hell of a thing to prove, especially considering how un-auditable the police consider themselves to be (see earlier story about Mass. SWAT teams claiming they're privatized so have no oversight).
Tell them repeatedly and ad nauseum that you do not consent to the search; object loudly and often, and make sure your attorney hears about it. Anything they uncover will be inadmissible. If you're extremely lucky, your cell phone will contain the only incriminating evidence, and you can walk away on a technicality.
The illegal phone search could support the original "hidden" search, while another team/person on the LEO side is building a "plausible, legal reasoning" that you or someone connected to you is guilty of some crime.
> We can drop nukes in tornadoes too for much less, not that I'm advocating that either.
But MAN.... that'd be cool to watch. From a safe distance.
Ripley recommends from orbit.
In Germany citizens and co-ops own about half of the solar capacity. So it is the average tax payer who both pays for and benefits from the subsides. It represents a real democratization of the energy market. "Not only has energy production in Germany been pried from the hands of the “Big Four,” namely the four utility giants that had dominated the German energy market, but it is now also radically decentralized."
Are the anti-solar folks just complete f*cking tools for big coal/utilites? Energy independence is a very real very powerful thing and will only become more important in the future as we go past peak oil and energy needs increase.
Props to Germany for empowering their citizenry to supply their own power.
Electric cars are superior to Fuel Cells in every possible way. They are the present and future of transportation.
I couldn't have said it better. Fuel cells are much of a roadbump in the long drive of automotive technology development as are 3D TVs for home entertainment (i.e., not quite as bad as DIVX, but ultimately not mainstream usable). The manufacture and distribution of hydrogen alone is a herculean task let alone the fact that it would require changes to an entrenched distribution network of gas/diesel.
It seems to me that if a reasonable interpretation of a law leads to negative unintended consequences, it then becomes the legislative branch's duty to rectify it
The legislative branch has lately seemed to ignore likely "negative unintended consequences" if a vocal minority with a disproportionate amount of campaign money supports a bill.
To take it a step further - it seems as if those negative consequences are not at all unintended and designed simply to throw a wrench in the works. No refinement here, no distillation of legal intent - the extremists in Congress are very interested in putting sugar in the gas tank of American society.
Judge Anna Brown
Think I'm kidding? How about that oh-so-convenient-but-WTF case where a witness to a case concerning the *legality of the No Fly List* was put on the No Fly list while the DOJ lied about the facts about the blocking, delaying her testimony [1].
The corruption in Washington has been festering for at least a dozen years. Forget Skynet - this is the dystopian menace that is going to ruin our world.
Perhaps you forgot to take into consideration the speed of light through fiber is less than c?
And the speed of light over Verizon fiber will vary based on whether it's sending Netflix photons or not.
I have little or no trouble with jet lag when I fly west. I have a lot of trouble when I fly east unless the flight is far enough that the jump is a complete reset. I'm in Colorado and flying to the eastern time zone is the pits. Flying to Europe on the other hand is not so bad.
That flying west isn't so bad is no surprise. I'm a night person so staying up a couple of hours and then sleeping in a couple of hours is my prefered schedule. Getting up early even for the shift to daylight savings time usually kicks my butt for a week or more and I don't even get a change of scenery.
Cheers,
Dave
Next time you fly east try a redeye. I did one for a recent business trip from west coast to east, 10PM to 6:30AM. Slept 3hrs on the plane, then checked in early (thank $diety) and crashed for another hour before heading into the office. Was completely fine that day. Next day was more difficult, but manageable. Helped that my day prior to leaving on the trip was spent outside doing a lot of biking and walking in sunshine.
... it's just the way people use it.
Perl was designed as a powerful, flexible, loosely typed scripting language for munging text files and streams, and that's exactly what it is.
Perhaps it's not Perl that died, but the philosophy of Perl - the need for a *wicked fast* scripting language to code up 1-100 lines of code gluing together entire systems. The philosophy of which is power, speed, massive flexibility (very very loosely typed language, you could demo complex data structure creation on the fly using the REPL) which empowered the lone programmer, not the IT department or enterprise software firm.
The diminishing of Perl is indicative of the wild wild web being tamed, and the Internet corporatized. A sad thing, but definitely predictable. I still use Perl once in a while (I'd say once or twice a year for a new compact script), but I never really share those scripts.
Large organizations will consistently fail to hire/staff competent people for data security related issues, and will push back on fines or punitive findings by criminalizing publicizing their incompetence.
Thus sending all such talent straight to criminals who'll be happy to reward them with hard cash.
It's like these guys _want_ a dystopian future.
"While supplies last." That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
That's not supplies of Surface Pro 3 which is likely infinite for all intents and purposes, but supplies of "goodwill" from the "benevolent corporate ruler" Microsoft. After all, it takes goodwill to buy a competitor's product - even if it is at a significant discount and even if it is only for credits towards purchase of your own product.
This site is about as social as i normally get. I had to turn the advertising off because it started throwing pop up in new windows.
The hope, I think, for advertisers and their customers, was that social media users were as gullible and low-info like TV watchers.
The problem they ignore is that the web is simply not designed for ads nearly as well as TV (though TiVO/DVR revolution is almost analogous to ad-block in it's dampening of ad spots), and the social media user base isn't nearly as comfortable with being spammed as TV users.
Part of me wonders whether advertising actually works, or is simply a formalized form of hidden bribery (i.e., ad company that has numerous large accounts simply paves the way for customers to work towards common goals anonymously). Of course, no one went broke overestimating the stupidity of people in large numbers.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
