if twilight is dead then great!
the little vampire books were kinda fun as a kid though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_kleine_Vampir they should get a resurgence(no idea about the movie though).

but did barnes & noble really have a shelf dedicated to that shit? at least finnish bookstores aren't that kind of insane(or finnish teens don't read or have more sense..). the funniest labeled shelf I saw was at londons forbidden planet: "macho guys with guns". around here they're just fiction or non fiction. some bookstores having a scifi/fantasy shelf as well..

At least you were lucky enough to catch it in time. If you look at the FCC ID of units from both revisions, you'll see the RX-51X that I'm talking about.

The other sure way to tell is if you have to use Pali's bootloader in the place of the bootloader used to load Nemo(Meego) or Android(GB/ICS if you want a strict tablet w/o non-VOIP data services)

what are the vampires like? are they cool like masquerade, goofy like buffy or just plain retarded like twilight?

yes this is intended to sound like buffy and twilight are uncool/stupid and that masquerade is cool/interesting. if their faces change to bad masks like buffy then gtfo and if the thing is like twilight then gtfo. don't care about the story. blade style is ok as well, it's somewhat akin to masquerade anyways(the basic stuff minus the "special" shit).

Take away all the dishonesty and watch the cost "differential" evaporate into thin air.

In addition, those guest workers are sought for having the status as indentured servants, something not associated with citizens in the properly functioning (and non-distorted by guest workers/illegals) job markets of First World countries like the US.

A few decades ago, McCarthy would have rightfully put you and these companies in their place for siding with enemies of the United States of America.

3d printing makes for better hype... that's why. the media is just crazy about anything 3d printed, no matter if it makes sense or not. idiots suck it up.

everyone has heard the 3d printed gun story. very few of them have considered how easy it is to make a gun otherwise, granted that very few seem to think about at all how easy or hard some item is to make.

I got a 3d printer churning out some parts to join some other parts right now and frankly the whole 3d printed gun guy could go live under a rock for all I care or go designing something novel. one look at the picture and it's a "bleh" item to print yet the fucking guy acts like this will CHANGE EVERYTHING - as if USA was just this one thing short of revolution and "people taking power back". he's a fucking douche trolling for donations from doomsday fans.

All the force on K Street won't matter if Wipro/Infosys/etc. and their lobbyists have a very bad day with the explicit disclosure of why. Just explain to the public that their fraud and all their misdeeds (public and otherwise) on national television if someone complains. It's a desperate measure, but someone brave enough to do it would gain the confidence of millions of US citizens defrauded out of jobs; it would be the "Icarus falling out of the sky" moment for the abuse of guest workers of any skill level.

It just takes one Trojan Horse of a President to get in and do the deed.

I've seen that only online and only at slashdot actually.
with tsa rectal exams..

anyhow- HOW MANY CASES are there of someone trying to smuggle a plastic gun anywhere? THERE'S STRONGER PLASTICS that can be machined if you really, really for some reason want to have one that's a bit safer to shoot.

if they know a guy who is fairly smart and are willing to do a plastic shooting device to get through metal detectors, I bet they would be better off building it out of non printed plastics.

though if you're willing to machine delrin or whatever.. you might be smart enough to just have a real job.

Given that it's from one of the most un-American entities out there, I'd say that it'll end up doing the exact opposite. It'll be shoddily coded and maintained as well as run.

If there's a way to identify an IPsoft/install, the best thing is to get a human and to get one not from a Third World country.

uhh the entire "novel" thing in liberator design imho was using printed plastic springs which have been demoed for couple of years now. it would be an even simpler design if it used a 0.1 dollar spring..

"The autonomic tools that IPsoft makes are designed to bring software robotic automation and machine learning to routine IT functions, such as help desks, operations and infrastructure management. In other words, with IPsoft's tools, work that is now done by human beings could be done by a software machine."

it's either more automatic phone reply machines or possibly more of the way of doing business where instead of calling an amazon guy to setup you a new server, you use their tools to deploy the server yourself and amazon doing a robo-call to test if you're the person you say you are and instead of calling amazons support you look up their faq on their site.

dressing it in 10 paragraphs of bullshit makes a better article - for computer world. also it makes it sound more unique, which it certainly isn't, since we've been using amazon for a while with zero human interaction with sales, support or anyone.

they're replacing call center dudes. not production.

it sounds better if they call it IT business than call center business I suppose. it's meant for the bozos at hr/some fantasy land who read computer world.

I have a friend that built a Stearman (a biplane used as a trainer during WWII). It is a certified airplane, so everything has to be exactly like the original. He started with nothing but a dataplate. Once he built the entire airplane, the FAA considered it to be the original.

That actually sounds great: "I was here when the company-mandated calendar app told me to be." Someone else gets the blame, and you got to skip a meeting. I don't see a downside.

Employment of the notes experts and their boss.
NOTHING ELSE.

they can justify to keep using it by saying that it already has millions invested into it, even if switching to anything would be both cheaper for the next fiscal and less awful for users.

that's how it was at one corp. anyways.
