... saleable machine. Rather than dumping their excess, in public view of shareholders, they are now even more willing to take a more substantial loss, so long as they can still claim X millions of units sold . Better than tossing them like with the Surface RT. Shareholders will likely complain if they try that one again.

I'd mod you up if I could.

There is LOTS of eye tracking software out there. Just do a Google for 'eyetracking software' and there are lots of hits, far too many for me to list here.

just as an example is here http://www.eyetechds.com/partn... but there are many many more. Even open source.

No, what they did was to dup Novell into developing a complex product using an API that they provided, but planned on changing at the 12th hour to defeat their competition out of the gate. Their goal was to make Novell look so bad in the eyes of the consumer that nobody would ever trust the product again. This is pure maliciousness and way over the top. Its one thing to simply not give information, its entirely another to mislead and make your competition do what you tell them, and then change it so that it is guaranteed not to work.

Bottom line: If you shake hands with Bill Gates you had better count your fingers.

Better if it were every other neighbour. That way there would have to a second cable company's cable in the ground and some actual competition in the neighbourhood. Satellite doesn't count as competition if what you are after is voip or Internet access. When you are the only game in town it doesn't matter how many subscribers your local monopoly has. Selling and buying any number of subscribers doesn't make any difference to the locked-in consumer.

Yes, and the story line would have been a lot different if they had just come out and said that only two were greater than 20 kilotons. Now compare that fact with the statement "Hiroshima was a 15-kiloton device" to put things more in perspective. Granted, you don't want one falling on your city, but it isn't going to kill millions more with deadly radiation after the impact either. Its the aftermath of the A-bomb that was so gruesome. Until the asteroid gets big enough to create a 'nuclear winter' the risk to humanity in general is fairly small.

In survival manuals they will often tell you to piss on open wounds if you are unable to find a source of clean water to help clean out a dirty wound. Why? Because not only will the urine fluid flush out the bacteria but it will also kill a percentage of them.

In the early days (colonial and uses-of-urine-442390/?no-istbefore) it was common for people to brush their teeth with urine, because it helped whiten the teeth and the ammonia can kill some of the bacteria that caused gum disease.

I guess they are used to using it to watch their stocks, probably the one useful thing on that site.

I have been forced to sign up for YahooGroups over the years just so that I can have my email address stolen by spammers and receive copious supplies of electrons in the form of Viagra emails. We could run the planet on that electricity coming across the wire. I learned long ago to use disposable email addresses and to block all other than the Yahoo mail servers just to keep the spam under reasonable control. I would dump it in a heartbeat if the projects I needed would just move elsewhere. No such luck.

Yea, he is patenting the use of one camera to detect another. Pure BS. Now let the stealth and polymorphic camera wars begin!

I could have been this kid back in Jr High school. I might even have done exactly what this kid did back then, if recording devices didn't weigh a ton. Yea, I'm dating my generation here.

Bullying was out of control, even back then. Its nothing new except for the media is finally covering it. I was no the receiving end of that bulling up until the day I took Aikido. My instructor was an elderly woman weighing in all but about 86 lbs soaking wet. That class change my life. I had started taking Judo 9 month earlier but it had not yet come in handy for anything. After sitting in on just one Aikido class at the ripe old age of 13, only watching, I threw and pinned my adult Judo instructor using an Aikido move in a sparing match when I was just supposed to be the practice dummy for class demonstration purposes.

Since graduating from high school, I have also taken Taekwondo, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Kenjutsu, but I always come back to Aikido in a time of need and/or a delicate situation. Its just more useful in everyday life. You merely use the opponents own energy against themself, by understanding the physiology of the human body and how it can and can not move. The philosophy of not hurting the opponent is the best part of it, and therefore useful for almost any kind of bad situation.

My last encounter with such a school yard bully was as a bystander in a high school metal shop class, only I just couldn't stand there and watch it happen. The Class Clown (aka dumb F*@ck ) took a hand full of metal shavings off the lathe and went to shove it down this one kids shirt, and my own hand wound up going in right behind. I clinched his fist so he could not let go of the metal shavings, pulled his hand out slowly, squeezing his hand with around 90+ lbs of pressure, and then gently rolled him across the shop bench table with one hand. All 200 lbs of him, while I was about 150lbs at the time. Its proof that with enough thrust even pigs can fly....

The administration, as you might guess did nothing, so the mighty sward of 'do-nothing-ever' cuts both ways at times.

A little bit of self confidence can allow you to talk your way out of bad situations a lot more easily. Simple fact, its no fun to pick on someone who is just not afraid of you. The bullies are after the feeling of control they get when someone submits to their will, and they won't get any kind of satisfaction like that here.

I think 'slot' is a misinterpretation of someone else's pronunciation of SLOC, or source lines of code, but its usually used in (kilo) k-sloc or (mega) m-sloc when talking about errors in software. if you are talking about just sloc you are in deep trouble bug wise.

.
Another possibility is in GUI programming there is a such thing as a slot, which is essentially a callback routine associated with an interface control. However applying that definition to an error count metric is troubling since there is no standard size for a callback.

For what its worth, whatever language NGINX is written in is not the one to use, the site gateway is apparently down, implicating a bug in the web software serving the article. Maybe the hackers are trashing the servers right now? I would have liked to have been able to read the article on broken web software, but the web software was broken.

Very true. Waves have both constructive and destructive interference, and the sources would have to be perfectly aligned to really negate the energy. That of course means your cloak would need to be deep inside the earth exactly where the seismic energy is coming from. And good luck at injecting enough energy to affect trillions of tons of rock exactly in phase with a seismic wave that you didn't know was coming exactly at that instant. This kind of nonsense could only happen on April 1st.

They both have a common goal, to get a network to the masses. Just make nice, join forces, and get the job done. Enough with the story headlines and get on with it.

This decision is for the laymen that don't know enough to see the solution for what little benefit it provides. To them carbon is bad. Think Coal (flammable) and C02 (poisoning our atmosphere, and why we buy a Tesla in the first place). Never mind that graphite is non-flamable and diamond is the hardest structure known, as they don't get in the news.

Maybe spider silk? Spiderman is cool. Yup, make it out of spider silk and that would sell a lot of cars.

Back in the early 80's, in my undergrad days, I was designing my dream car, which had a 300 lb epoxy kevlar flywheel (didn't have carbon fibre back then) which at maximum rpm would punch out a theoretical and instantaneous 32,000 horse power (for a very very short time), with all wheel drive, if the mechanical components could even handle that kind of load. The design challenge was to see how much power you could design the system to handle without twisting the frame.

What Volvo doesn't mention though is that if you extract that kind of energy from a single flywheel system the car will spin violently if the tires break traction. The only way to handle that much torque is to have a dual flywheel system using counter rotation to negate that rotational torque. Step on the gas a little too hard when on ice and you are out for quite a surprise.
