Yessssss....

I work for a US semiconductor company with US fabs. Most of our output goes to Asia. WE WILL RULE THEM!

How much do you have to drink to get this effect?

Man, you live a boring life...

Yep, porn drove the acceptance of the internet. Home sex toy production will probably drive acceptance of 3-D printing.

So short your Fleshlight shares and go long on anyone making silicone rubber for 3-D printing.

Except in Physics, ALL particles will follow the same basic laws and behavior over time. People are more complex systems and don't follow the same behavior. A lot of people often don't even follow sensible behavior. But those are the easiest to manipulate.

Ah, the GRID was the NEXT BIG THING back in the early 90's, but it died with a whimper.

I have almost a million in assets (less debts), I am not near being able to retire. I figure 1.6 million is my minimum amount to cover emergencies/market fluctuations and still live a good life, 2.2M is my goal where I can just quit with no worries.

Fortunately once you have higher balances the compound interest and dividends start building up more rapidly. My real estate investments have also made a big difference. Asset variety is paramount.

Back in 81-82 I carried brass knuckles, a pocketknife and a taped-up roll of pennies in my pocket to counter bullying. And I went to a fairly wealthy, upper class high school where most of the parents were engineers, doctors, etc. I can't imagine what it would have been like in a really rough school.

To be honest, that's pretty much ALL cultures.

Jeez, I remember touring the UT high-energy physics lab in Austin back in 1995 where they were working on these. Back then I thought for sure they would be out before 2014.

We got to see it shoot through about 20 feet of wood, which was cool, but only about 1/3 the speed of this one.

As someone who is currently trying to convert a 20 year-old, multi-million-entry flat files DB into a real DB for a major corporation without bringing the corporation to its knees I heartily concur with NOT using flat files if there is ANY chance of this growing beyond a few hundred entries.

By now hundreds of applications are using the old flat file DB, I have so much re-coding to do that I will probably retire before it is all complete.

NO.

Potrzebie is the ONLY sensible system.

At my company we have dozens of $500K+ machines that are controlled by NT 4.0 boxes, and dozens of somewhat newere $2M machines contolled by XP boxes.

The vendor has no incentive to upgrade their software to work with a new OS, they'd rather we spend several hundred million on new equipment. And the software that controls the machines is closed and proprietary to the vendor.

We'll still be using NT and XP in 2020.

Well...
New Braunfels IS a popular destination for Comal and Guadalupe river riders, many of whom are college-age females wearig skimpy bathing suits.
New Braunfels is also home of Schlitterbahn, usually voted the worlds best water park and therefore also often full of nubile women in skimpy bathing suits.

So during the warm months there are many hot women in New Braunfels. However, I would wager that few if any of these hot women are registered republicans.

But if you want to look at hot women in skimpy bathing suits, New Braunfels is a pretty good place to go. Maybe that's it.

Same place. Head of security is gone, however.
