What about "the rumor of perl's death has been greatly exaggerated?"
And you heard it here on slashdot first.
Yeah, its only Mostly Dead.
Miracle Max has the cure.
But you either need a compelling reason, like true love (not likely), or a good MLT (Mutton, Lettuce, and Tomato) to get him to come out of retirement.
"Scientists Accidentally Grow Full Head of Hair On Bald Man"
The result was unintended, though interesting.
Better title:
Scientists treat autoimmune disease with arthritis drug, hair loss reversed
Good!
a. Gas is much too cheap in the US.
b. We need a lot of infrastructure work.
Of course, I'm sure we could afford to pave all of our roads with gold, have diamond-studded bike lanes, and solid titanium sidewalks if we didn't spend half our budget on wars, but hey, I'm not holding my breath. There's not as much room for corruption in building roads in this country as there is building roads in some 3rd world country that we bombed into oblivion.
Personally, I would love detailed breakdown of where the current gas taxes goes. I'm willing to bet that a good portion of it goes to other programs, pet projects, and expenditures that have nothing to do with highway, bridges, transit, bike, or walking path infrastructure. In other words, I'm pretty sure that there is enough money coming in from gas taxes today. I'm also willing to bet that the Highway Trust Fund would not see the full amount of any tax hike....
This is just another way to get people to pay more taxes.
Part of the contract with Monsanto should be a buyback program. If the farmer has seed left over, say 30 days after the purchase, he can get a refund. 30 days shouldn't be enough time for most crops to go to seed but should be enough time to plant the crops. The point is that Monsanto should have a fair, for the farmer, program in place to prevent seed storage. If they have this, then they are on more solid moral grounds in suing farmers under contract for seed reuse and/or harvesting. Today, I'm willing to bet that Monsanto doesn't buy back seeds and farmers are left absorbing the cost of seed that they didn't use. Normally, this would not be a problem as they would use the seeds the next season. However, with GMO crops they can't do this.
Regarding intelectual property Cisco seems far more advanced on hardware level, so obtaining gear from competitor is not really going to move things forward. Article also does not mention (unless I missed it) obtaining equipment which is in developement.
The best way for commercial spying is information exchanged by people - engineers from all those networking Silicon Valley companies know each other, they gossip, they betray secrets. This is how most of information leaks through, straight from the sources, not via reverse-engineering.
You can be also completely sure that Juniper bought Cisco equipment for the same purposes, and so did other companies. Even TFA mentions Alcatel-Lucent buying Cisco. It was an all-out activity.
Actually, Cisco used to be a front runner with more advanced network products. However, more and more network vendors, such as Juniper and Aruba, have caught up and passed Cisco. For example, while Juniper routers aren't as well known in the enterprise space, they are used heavily in the ISP and cloud provider space.
The one area where Cisco still has an edge is the ability to centralize management of all of their devices. Practically every network management solution provider supports Cisco. This will change as Juniper becomes more popular in the Enterprise, but it just isn't there yet.
The article did mention Cisco buying Beta gear. This is usually the last stage before release. It must have been a Beta unit to show customers for the VAR to be able to get their hands on it.
Kids who started out on the Wii, say 5 to 10 year olds, are now in their teens (Wii was released in 2006). They have moved on to the Xbox One and the PS4.
Maybe I'm reading these replies wrong, but it doesn't sound like anyone that has commented understands the actual use of ABS technology.
ABS does NOT stop you any quicker than regular braking. Speed, weight, surface conditions, do no magically change simply because a car has ABS. In fact, you would likely stop a bit quicker, in a straight line, without ABS.
What ABS does do is allow you to steer during heavy breaking, something you can't do with manual breaks without pumping the break pedal. It's purely for avoidance maneuvers while breaking.
Lighten up, Francis.
Not my fault that someone forgot to add their sarcasm tag....
Who watches TV anymore, let alone with friends, that is just some cruel torture
Says someone who isn't a hockey, or sports, fan with the Stanley Cup playoffs in progress...
This past weekend my Brother-in-law, nephews, and myself watched a bad Canadian Zombie movie. We were having a ton of fun making up our own Riff track. Granted, it's not exactly "watching TV" when you are actively participating.
I agree with you that watching TV tends to be a solitary experience unless it is a special sporting or broadcast event.
That being said, a majority of the population still watch TV. I know that a good percentage of people on Slashdot have cut the cord, but people who have done so are still the outliers.
oh come now, a person with one cent to their name is infinitely more rich than a person with zero cents to their name
Only in the world of mathematicians and statisticians.
In the real world, both would starve to death in the same amount of time (excluding the possibility that the cent is composed of either a precious metal or is a collector's item that would net the owner a sum larger than 1 cent).
This is no closer to a hoverboard than a skateboard is.
It's three wheels closer.
Just one to go.
75% of the way, by any logical measure.
Um... No... Not even 1% closer.... You do realize that hovering in mid-air is completely different than any wheeled application and requires new technology.
Reducing the wheels from 4 small wheels to 1 big wheel gets you no closer to a hover board than going from a rotary dialed wired phone to a touch tone wired phone got us to a cell phone. The cell phone required a completely different technology than a wired phone, no matter how fancy.
If this had been an article about a skate board that floated over a specialized magnetic surface, then I would agree that some progress was being made...
In my opinion this is somewhat interesting but the comparison to a hover board is simply being used as click bait...
I assume if you buy or rent from a store you're going to visit anyway, this difference vanishes
They accounted for that, only 50% of the trip is assumed to be for the DVD.
You could cycle or walk to the store.
I rent or buy Blu-ray, not DVD. I do stream every so often. However, the local Redbox, which is within walking distance, is cheaper. I did have Netflix for a while, but they suck for new movies so I dropped them.
I'm willing to bet that the energy use would reverse if they did the same study using Blu-ray quality bit-rates. The energy used to go to the store to rent would end up being the same (possibly lowed due to higher fuel efficiency) but the streaming energy cost would increase due to the higher amount of data being stored, streamed, etc.
Given this article mere moments ago on
Article has many good valid points, though, but that point irked me.
Yet all of it in relatively calm clear conditions with no snow, salt, ice, -20 degree weather, high winds, driving rain, etc. to obscure or break the sensors....
I've heard that it can eat through solid rock, given enough time.
Or the brute force solution. Break it apart and reform it in the correct color order. It leaves less permanent damage than fiddling with the stickers.
Yeah, I did this too. In fact, the first thing I did was to see if I could take it apart without breaking it. Being able to solve it this way meant that I didn't have to waste time try to solve it the normal way. People considered this method cheating, but I preferred to refer to it as thinking outside of the box.
Just for fun, I did, much later, solve it the normal way using a strategy guide.. The strategy guide was included in a box lot that my Dad won at an auction.
