With this cosmetics discovery we are finally going to see some real progress towards research and policy changes to protect against bee colony collapse.

Yup, builders of Old.... or ignorance..... or... was I actually even sobre at the time?

Marain is the best language to use as your second/first language.

After that, your goal should be to flex your ability to precisely describe an algorithm. Ambiguity within a language should make this more difficult.

Yes, and the concept could be in any language and it should be language insensitive.

What kills ERP comes down to two things... because its larger, it takes alot of effort to analyse the whole impact. This means you hire more consultants to analyse the impact resulting in more communication between people... resulting in a slower implementation... resulting in miss communication against expectations... resulting in quickwins to get back on track... resulting in an omniturd.

Its probably more like 900 consultants, 90 managers and 10 developers.

Its funny how SciFi predicts this eventuality. The obvious result of this is that the police officers have to continually uphold themselves to higher standards because they are now clearly accountable for their actions. The less obvious result of this is that they are more clearly able to enforce the law to a greater degree than before due to the next logical step of the reliance on technology.

So we have Google Glass... Next we need Google Boots. Google Aligator Boots.

Running on a Chrome-book of course...

Apparently the attention span of the average geek has dropped below 130 to approx 95. Instead of showing us a machine running VMWare inside Xen inside Virtualbox on Linux inside HTML5 Linux emulator.... we are now succumbed to trivial what-if scenarios. What type of dog food should I feed my dog? blah blah blah ... Feed you dog cat flavoured dogfood, c'mon think!

Its actually quite a logical interpretation.

If I send you an image who owns the image? What if I send an email via another mail server.... does the intermediate mailserver own everything passing through the server? What if there were no people involved in any of the mailservers and every machine was randomly mailing the contents of random sequence of bytes... Who owns the random sequence of bytes? What if the random sequence just happened to match, exactly, a music album? All of this is a philosophical nightmare.... What if the people who owned the machines all died and there were no estates involved, does the government then own all of the emails? Do they get to own them but not read them, do they need warrants?

Fully agree. I like the approach of classifying certain information and releasing it 10 to 30 years later. From a history perspective this has revealed a ton of insight into Cold War mentalities on both the US and the Russian side. I would argue that the whole middle east is still an active/sensitive war zone even though there are fewer active wars and so most of this should be 10-15 years before it gets released.

Love the saying 'If you don't understand history, you are doomed to repeat it'.

We are stuck in a world were we are surrounded by soo many fantastic toys (Ferraris, Yachts, etc) with such a massive divide between someone who wants to afford a good house for their kids that the desire for fair pay is both acceptable and also discomforting. A whole other topic that should be delved into in this thread.

I understand their rationale for the book deal. Every way we look at it its always messy.

How on earth can the military staff haemorage their IP for the sake of an ef'fing book deal. There is too much public information on public deals that put military operations and lives at risk. The whole point of military superiority is based on an advantage of forces as a result of numbers, skill, training, tactics, operations, etc. I know that, as a geek, I love reading aircraft, lazer, and weapons development trials and developments but c'mon. All the US people are doing is destroying its own capability.

Now I understand how freedom of information protects against poor weapons systems, faulty weapons systems, bad quality, abuse of authority, etc. I don't have all the answers but what I do know is stupid - leaking you current tactics manuals and giving away all of your secrets. Might as well open-source the military.

Now this is what I call news for nerds. None of this 'how would you crap'!

Go team zurich.

This is probably the most real and horrific view. The number of alternative systems along with multiple coordinated incidents is horrific.

From a design perspective, there should be the capability to fly in spare systems and drop them in via helicopter to provide alternative backup systems.

I'd expect each plant to have suitable replacements within an hours flight/mobilization.... Now that would be news worthy.
