Bullshit. Nokia was still the top smartphone vendor when Elop came on board. He's fully responsible for the mess he created.
He forced people to change to a totally incompatible Windows OS that was itself obsoleted by yet another Windows OS. Of course application developers fled.
Nokia and Ericsson saw the commoditisation of the handset market and Nokia in particular watched their margins evaporate and decided it was time to get out.
HAH. Apple bet on that same business and is making a killing. They just couldn't keep up with technology and were their own worst enemy that's all.
Does a car pushing against a road break conservation of momentum? Does a boat with a propeller in the water break conservation of momentum?
The only reason we use reaction engines in space is that we haven't found anything to push against in space. But who's to tell that EmDrive isn't doing precisely that?
First the costs for long term securing spent fuel are grossly underestimated. After all, can we really estimate the cost of securing spent fuel for over 100'000 years? It's a bit of a philosophical question, but point is - it can't really be estimated.
It doesn't work because it makes elecricity more expensive and hence makes people overall poorer since next to everything requires electricity to be produced.
In short you could do it, if you accept worse living standards for no good reason at all.
Solar cell production is quite dirty too but you won't hear that from Greenpeace.
Hearing the advice of someone who's been out there is always a good idea.
Don't. It works with normal people but some co-workers are conniving little backstabbing bitches. How to Win Friends and Influence People is the wrong book. You would be better off reading The Prince. Or the section on how to handle spies in the Art of War.
Treasury bonds.
That's what you say but job seeking is a full time job. It's not as easy as you claim and some interviews happen during working hours.
You should never be in a position where you cannot say NO though. Avoid being in that position.
Its like he said. You don't say a number you say a RANGE.
That's bonkers.
I also want to add that the binary downloads service SourceForge that provided was one of the few remaining distinguishing useful features in it.
s/News.com/Download.com
What was the problem? Was it the bandwidth costs? AFAIK most of the files you can download from SourceForge are actually not served by SourceForge itself but by mirrors. So those guys are shouldering the brunt of the costs not you. By doing something like this I would not be surprised if some of the mirrors decided they do not want to work with you anymore.
If you wanted the extra revenue by bundling ads with applications you should have done this explicitly with a prior public notification of this being done. For example News.com for a couple of years now bundles their own installer with the downloads they provide. I've seen other places do the same thing. But you should always be able, as a user, to disable the adware installation. Also the user should know before downloading a binary that it has adware in it. Not stealth adding it without people knowing about it. Last but not least hijacking someone else's account for these shenanigans was quite pathetic and fail. This was all handled quite poorly.
A lot of people have been leaving SourceForge as is because it has worse Git integration than other more recent sites and this is just another nail in the coffin.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
