a CPU for the low-end enthusiast. Quite the niche market.

I think Drew Carey would be excellent.

I would suspect if all that happened here is that the expected model was confirmed, that lots of research under the premise of the expected model being accurate would have already occurred/be taking place currently. I would think confirmation might just make it easier to get funding to do more. That said, I was itching to burn my mod points on anybody who responded with a non-joke answer. Ah well.

I believe this is where one says "Wooooosh"

How do you use this... the ball always seems to bounce violently off of it.

People won't sign up to knowingly buy the crappiest code, but unless they are capable of measuring the quality of code, they will hire the cheapest developers, and be blissfully(?) ignorant. ( I assume most management is blissfully ignorant ) It seems to me that most companies think developers are interchangeable and of equivalent quality and capability. With that mindset, why wouldn't you simply hire the cheapest option.

I wasn't planning on purchasing a tablet of any flavor until this opportunity presented itself. Like a lot of others my first thought was buy it now and wait for an Android port. However, I'm really enjoying WebOS so far. Its a much more enjoyable experience than Android 2.2 on my (relatively old) Motorolla Droid. I may still install Android 3+ at some point in the future, but it would take convincing now, rather than seeming like the obvious thing to do.

It's hard to believe they couldn't have raised taxes to cover the difference. There have to be enough tax payers that have to pay for child care on one day a week now.. w/ how expensive child care is that money alone would have easily covered any extra taxes..

They add 30 minutes per day (30m x 4 = 2h per week) + shortened lunch break (?? 30m x4 = 2h per week) for a total of up to 4 hours a week, and that's equivalent to how much time they would have worked on Friday?

I'd guess such an emergency notification would have capability to unmute your phone, etc, and give generate a uniquely distinguishable alert.

This seems like it would make for an interesting way to collect data from outside the reach of our instrumentation. Fire some information gathering tools up and latch onto an asteroid that will take a path that should return to earth after making an interesting voyage far away. When it returns, beam back all of the information it's collected over its trip. Guarantee funding for your project until the asteroid returns :)

So-called reality programming has taken over television, presumably due to the low cost of production, and the low standards required by viewers.
It seems like the studios will come up with a way of pumping out low production value reality content with a rapid release schedule.
Lower cost of production, more releases, more profit.

Scene It: The Movie

Not only is it an odd metric, it seems like high J/MW is the wrong end of the spectrum to be on. Wouldn't you want your energy technology to require the least amount of labor per unit of energy produced?

so that he could promptly quit, w/ reasons why G+ was bad (and FB was better?)
