The stations will allow a user to fill a smartphone in two hours, or grab a 30 percent charge in 30 minutes.
That's a long time to have to hang around an open-air charging station.
However, the BIG difference I saw between the two schools was hiring:
Perhaps that more an artifact of short-sighted managers and HR people. I got inconsistent grades in school (always working part-time) and have a BSCS from Old Dominion University (from 1987, yes I'm old) and have never had a problem getting a well-paying job. During the interview for my first job, the company president (it was a small software development firm) remarked than he especially like that my college experience involved more than just taking classes and such. In addition to being a grader for (under)graduate CS classes and assisted with professors' research papers as part of my financial aid, I was a research assistant on an AI project in LISP and PROLOG, funded by NASA - focusing on automatic analysis and evaluation using abstract data types. (The Xerox 1108 Dandelion system running InterLISP-D at my desk was amazing, especially for 1985 - I still have the InterLISP-D manual.)
It's not where you go to school, but what you do while you're there...
Pretty soon, we're going to have a repeat of the fall of the Roman Empire, where specialization of labor goes right out the window because no one sees any real value to specializing, and pretty soon no one remembers how to do anything terribly complex and needing of a lot of domain knowledge.
Why is it sexist when that is what most women respond to? In the fashion industry, it has been established that women are more interested, spend more time, effort and money on fashion than men do.
Without arguing your point, because it's silly and sexist, why not just reward the women with more - money - with which they can buy their own high-fashion clothes, if they choose (or not).
There should be a public fund that goes to worthy companies. And to make sure that we give the money to the right people, we'll put a panel of experts together to judge the merits of these startups.
Like Solyndra? Not trolling - really - but if I assimilated one concept from shows like Connections and The Day the Universe Changed, is that it's almost impossible to predict winners and losers for many (most?) ideas, so ensuring money goes to the "right people" is problematic regardless of the expertise of the people evaluating the ideas.
In addition, especially from watching Connections, it's seems difficult to know what idea, especially small, seemingly insignificant ones, may inspire or lay the foundation for other, perhaps larger and/or more important, ideas.
While quick charging technology installed at strategic points along a planned route might be a good fit for inner city buses, it's not going to be of much use to electric vehicles that stop infrequently.
Ya, that sort of thing hasn't really worked out for petrol-type vehicles at all. If only there were places I could buy gasoline (or electricity) along the way... Oh well, one can dream.
If I give you a bag of marbles every day and you do not discard them, then you are still collecting them. It doesn't matter whether you took them from me or whether I give them to you willingly.
Well... I'm collecting bags that happen to contain marbles. You collected the marbles and placed them into the bags. Unfortunately, a lot of things in the legal sense can depend on semantics.
In the case of James Clapper, the senator questioning him was Ron Wyden (D - Oregon) who is currently on the Select Committee on Intelligence and (I imagine) already very well knows all about PRISM and such. According to this Huffington Post article (and probably others), Clapper was given the list of Sen. Wyden's questions prior to the meeting so Clapper would have a chance to give a "straight answer" - about a classified program in a public meeting - to a question Wyden already knew the answer. Clapper said he gave the most truthful untruthful answer he could given the situation. Wyden should be bitch slapped for asking the question in the first place. I understand they're trying to cover their asses, but what part of "classified" don't elected officials understand.
Given the ruthless efficiency with which the PRISM system collected communications, I'd compare it more closely to the former East German (DDR) Stasi
Technically, if you believe the NSA has no direct access, the ISPs and Telcos actually collected the information and sent the NSA copies. [ So when James Clapper, was asked, "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" and he responded, "No" he wasn't technically lying to Congress... ]
But they have a simple solution: they can just walk away from their unpaid internship without losing anything.
Often, an internship is associated with college credit for which the student has paid tuition. Quitting an internship would be like dropping a class and, after some point in the semester, there's no refund for that tuition.
That would be funny. A lab technician standing next to you instead of a microscope(scanning electron... whatever they use) and asking you what you see and you trying to describe it to them in words, or drawing a little picture, lol. Not trying to be mean, just a funny image to me.
Almost... From The Far Side: It's a Mammoth
As the owner/operator of a complex network of around 100 billion neurons, along with support infrastructure, I'm not entirely sympathetic to your desire to continue emitting lead. Nothing personal.
You're on
I tried to turn myself in at the local police station. I told the officer there that I had borrowed a book from someone else. I had not paid for it. My friend has also read it. So, that's three people, in three different households, that have all read this book for the price of one!
The officer threatened to give me a fine for wasting his time, then sent me home.
You joke, but a long (long) time ago when I was in college, I worked at a restaurant and a guy came in, sat down at a booth and asked us to call the Police because he wanted to turn himself in. We called the Police and got him a free soda while he waited quietly. Two officers showed up and approached his booth, from two different angles, with their hands on their weapons. They talked with him a bit then one officer went out to the squad car to (presumably) pull some info off the computer. After a short time, the officers said he was wanted for a minor traffic offense in a neighboring state, but nothing they could/would arrest him for. They advised us to call them back if he got unruly and left. The guy then ordered lunch and went quietly on his way...
Prison should be reserved for people who pose a serious threat to society. Is copying a DVD and selling it a serious threat?
That depends entirely on the DVD. Making more copies of movies like Glitter and Gigli should result in serious mandatory jail time.
[ So
Bricking them or recovering them was a request of many businesses and officers of the law. Dry up the demand and you will slow down the theft.
But then, you wouldn't be forced to buy new phones...
Is it wrong for me to hope you die of the most unimaginably awful cancer, that will cause you to ooze horrible puss-like fluids that reek so awfully you're family won't be able to bear to be around you, and they will pray to God each and every night that you finally die... but you don't, and just linger in that state for years.
Is that wrong?
Will there be a podcast of all that?
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get to work.
