...and refuse of your fellow waste expellers. There be gold in that crack. Thanks Bloomberg! We needed a report on what people have known for 50 years: Plumbers, Electricians and other Industrial Service industries jack up the consumer on their pricing.

Wait for the mad rush into those careers. Perhaps we can get rid of a lot of incompetent IT staffers who rushed to the Dot.com era to make a quick buck and finally get back to quality solutions, products and services. I doubt it, but one can dream. Fortunately, the traditional hard sciences have real barriers to entry that a pretty face, a young eager and motivated stooge has to have: scientific accredited crudentials and brains to back it up. Any half-wit can learn to program. Very few are really excellent at it.

Glad I did Mechanical Engineering before Computer Science.

Comment: Australian corruption? (Score 1) 90

Given their origin I'm not surprised...

Jokes aside, I would have expected news like this come from a country with a culture originating in China or the Mediterranean.

Countries with borders facing the North Sea tend to have lower rates of corruption; with France as the pathetic exception.

Comment: Not Obligatory...Linux Ubuntu is basically Debian (Score 1) 128

I'm actually running Debian with Sid installed (I would be running Ubuntu if it wasn't for the delay between their respective releases) . Its kind of sad that Ubuntus main benefit (since Debian experimental releases are too wild) is that its everything you like about Debian Sid....great support; almost cutting edge, with backported fixes for stability(although not as Stable as Debian stable... but that is not cutting edge) with some sensible defaults...because it is basically Debian Sid.

Hell I quite like the fact that users tried to make Debian pretty (and fast).But the move towards recreating elements rather than *selecting* popular ones (Mer seriously) like say KDE 4.8 Oxygen, is going to hurt them. I hope they have success with Qt... where I think KDE (and all the other garbage...like a new package manager) might be a better fit.

So yeah not obligatory...I'm using it with KDE now, and accept other roots when I use that (and GNU/Linux)

Not is someone could go about producing a rolling (cutiing edge) GNU/Linux release (with an enormous rescue me button) then I would look forward to it.

The same people who can't credit properly throughout history are the same folks who ignore Adam Smith's premise for his Wealth of Nations: One big assumption being that all needs of a Nation have and are met leaving on the wants to be fought out by business owners miraculously all focused on convincing the consumer their product(s)/service(s) offer them the greatest value for their capital.

Seeing as no nation is remotely at the point of a nation's needs already being sustained and fulfilled how Smith's thesis became a bastion of capitalist economic theory should have one questioning the merits of this pure capitalism pipe dream.

Yes, it's a shame a vindictive billionaire, who disavowed his daughter for nearly 20 years, didn't get to see his yacht finished before he died.

Having worked for Steve, twice, you don't know a fucking thing about the man. You also don't know the inheritance he set aside for his little daughter whose mother pissed away on her own selfish desires. Lisa is the only one in that relationship who gets to bitch about the lack of one. They sure made up for lost time so please I doubt she gives two shits what your cowardly comment thinks.

Why not use a computer model? There has been very large money already spent on nuclear explosion simulators. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and other places have the computing expertise. Why would anyone use the real thing today? It is so unpredictable, you cannot calculate on it very well ad hoc. In a simulator you can at least determine how much unpredictable you want.

Wouldn't a small amount of these phones flood a wireless spectrum? It would not take many people in an area until the speed is chopped down significantly.

Or do they have poor range and expect femtocells everywhere? But why not just WiFi at that point?

What do you think? They sure as hell expect the Telcos to pony up the spectrum mesh and not themselves. Testing at an R&D facility is fine, but to start spreading 5G around is ludicrous and a bad business strategy.

Glad to see that the first amendment is so inviolable...

How the hell is this post insightful? The poster has the wrong goddamn Amendment, unless he's talking about whining all day long, peaceably, without insinuating a riot and/or panic, to publishing his grievances but last I checked this has nothing to do with individual manufacturing of what obviously will lead to military grade 3D printing weaponry. Grow the hell up.
