Sure, but do you expect the 500+ builders onsite on any given day to have a fragile $800 device with a screen size less than 8.5x11" as their primary interface to information?

I don't think that is realistic.

Others are working on augmented reality interfaces to provide that updated information. Where a set of glasses connected through the construction wifi network would provide the needed updates.

Sure, there is a much larger technical issue there WRT engineering a solution, but the fact of the matter is that paper is actually a cheap way of conveying a vast amount of information VERY efficiently.

They can write and scribble and troubleshoot on the plans.

There is a LOT more information to present on 30x42.

Their batteries wont die.

Training people to absorb information off plans is thousands of years developed, efficient and CHEAP.

I think that granularity of message is important - and I think you can really excel here.

Rather than presenting the whole plan on PDF - tell them EXACTLY what they need to know BY ROOM/BY LOCATION that pertains to them at that moment.

I'd like you to see the Inspection Request Module that we have to understand this; where on a PDF/Visio of a plan an inspector can just trace out the walls that they inspected in the field at that time. This finger-trace gets captured and recorded. Then synthesized into the colorized maps I showed aboved so that the whole project team can run reports on status of the project (you can also run reports that show which trades are succeeding and which are behind in every aspect of deliverables... sometimes you just need to fire a plumbing contractor because they keep failing inspections)

Anyway - paper is not always bad. It is an extremely efficient method of conveying information.

You need to preempt the NEED for paper, not reduce it on the back-end. This is what BIM and coordination and IPD are all about. Reducing back-end paper and change-orders.

Paper is not what is bad, bad information is what is bad. Eliminate bad information you eliminate waste.

LEAN processes are good.

I've been in similar scenarios (as Tom) and it usually boils down to inspiration. As soon as someone gets overloaded and piled on its very difficult for them to feel inspired or at all good about their work. Instead they feel trapped under an increasing workload and consequently feel unappreciated by the organization. You can't feel good about your efforts when your head is always barely above water. From there its a downward spiral.

I've always quit after giving management a warning in the past when this occurs because I feel it borders on exploitation and usually signals something wrong with management and the business as a whole. The real problem is Tom should have quit much much earlier to find a healthier environment.
That's what happened in Iran? China? People just didn't care enough?

I'm trying to understand your perspective of history here. It seems to me despotism more often is the result of fervor and extremism. Whipping the populace up into a frenzy. Apathy is pretty much the opposite of that.

I'm not too keen on that. They should have some privacy when they aren't interacting with the public. Nobody wants to be taped while they are eating, or discussing things with a colleague. And the more unpleasant it is to be a police officer, the worse officers you'll get.

However, they should monitor themselves (with video) whenever they are interacting with the public. This helps them gather solid evidence. If they "forgot" to turn on the camera, or "lost" the disk, the judge and jury should be asking why.
They would have to pay the windows tax, that is where 90% of the games are.

Sorry, what data are you talking about? I haven't seen it. I'm sure there's a journalist who wrote something like a) a the number of gang members who wouldn't normally join the military are b) allowed into the military because of the dire need for same and then c) all kinds of hijinks ensue. But I don't think it happens very often, and I really doubt the transfer of mad military skilz is going back into the gangs.
I've often found that one is better served by saying "please take this in the helping way" outright as opposed to relying on over-cliche phrases like "I don't mean to be X."

Being earnest and dare I say somewhat unique in your discussions can often produce better results than crutching on over-used phrases. This is a reason I stick to phrases like "I apologize for" over "I'm sorry for", or "I appreciate that" over "Thank you for." When words/phrases you intend to convey become noise or just another figure of speech, why bother saying them at all?
Let's say we all move to commodity PC hardware in our consoles. At that point, one of two things will happen: the 'consoles' will have ever-shifting hardware and be complete hell to work for, or developers will code to the hardware and not go beyond, effectively stagnating PC game progress. That feels like a net negative for everyone to me.
You look weak and you look like you don't want to be part of the group. And the leader will tell you as much and try to push you out of the group.

That's why we have the Bill of Rights in the US. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so on. Our society is (currently) civilized enough that people can speak up without problems.

All of a sudden, you and everyone else in the social group have to weigh the consequences of you or someone you love dying somewhere far away.

That just tips the balance differently. Now, if you're a big war hawk, people can say, "Well, you don't have to go fight or have family that fight." If everyone has to go fight, and you're a dove, people will say, "Well, you're just a coward who isn't willing to give your fair share."

we should avoid all this security theater BS

I totally agree with you. TSA is a massive violation of rights and is ridiculous. The solution is to end states that give terrorists leeway in their borders or directly support them. And I don't mean a 10 year ground occupation. I mean forcing their leaders to abide by certain written rules, or they get booted.
There are tons of very obvious problems in many industries that are solvable by software. The only problem is that great domain experts and great hackers rarely overlap enough to do a startup together. It was a miracle that the four of us found each other.

You mean Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and the Taliban (Afghanistan)?

But yeah, I definitely think we should have acted much more forcefully to end the wars much more quickly and with far fewer casualties on both sides.

I think we probably could do this without resorting to nukes, but applying the same "kind" of intense pressure. Hiroshima/Nagasaki were huge successes compared to a minimum decade-long ground invasion and occupation of Japan resulting in possibly millions of deaths.
Thing is, Valve has mindshare and love amongst gamers that MS couldn't hope to match, and Sony had none of when it brought out the PS.

There will be many gamers (myself included) who will buy this simply because it's Valve and we trust them not only to make it awesome, but to bring awesome games to it as well.
At last check, the Taliban doesn't control Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein doesn't rule Iraq. It might not have been worth it, but it's not nothing.
I suppose when you're strapping jet engines onto a metal tube, filling it with people and hurling it into the sky you have to accept that things are never quite going to be perfect.

In the same manner, it seems like the take-away is: if you create something, then you'll always spot the flaws, but when the benefits outweigh those drawbacks enough, you'll probably be the only one who really notices them.

I would think making Steam performant under Wine/CrossOver would be easier, and would make it available to both Linux and Mac users.
That is an extremely naïve perspective. Imagine you run IT for 10,000 PCs across the US. For one, maybe 10% of these would need to be upgraded to get to an OS with modern security. Then there's the servers for internal applications which can't be upgraded without breaking things. And then you'll need to deal with all the support, explaining to employees why, yes, although they have tasks which need to run overnight, no, they can't disable automatic update, because it would put the corporation at risk. Not to mention the amount of work it takes to keep computers up to date even when the user isn't a problem.

And even with all of that, one day one of the computers gets a backdoor installed, and the attacker is able to copy everything off your network drive, because you didn't have any sort of IDS or firewall to prevent it.

Smarter people than you have thought about this. There's a reason the idea of an internal network exists at all; NAT certainly wasn't something people were considering right from the start.
You could use openssl or openca for free....
I think they would release Half Life 3 and other games as "Steam Box 1 Minimum" which is to say, you either buy the box or your computer must meet the minimum conditions of the dedicated box. Valve is devoted to creating an experience, and it's sad that consoles are such a limiting factor in game development, even though it makes sense.

I guess this is their midstep until OnLive-esque cloud gaming is more dependable/available.
Somewhat cynically, it's actually been worth a great deal to several contractors and logistics companies. :)

Valve brought Steam (in the form of a subset of the Steamworks APIs) to PS3 for cooperative play in Portal 2. But they can't expand Steam to someone else's platform, those three you mentioned already have their respective stores.

As I see it, a "Steam Box" would merely be a hardware specification that Valve sets and game developers can rely on, ship with Steam preinstalled and supporting their previously announced "big picture mode", and the multi-input controller. But for all intents and purposes, it would be a standard desktop PC. Probably one designed to be used in the living room, but standard hardware nonetheless.

This is one of countless ways the military carefully shapes the public opinion of the troops. It’s a shameless PR exercise. One of our guys got a Military Cross (a medal for bravery) awarded after he got shot in the bum and continued to fight. His platoon was isolated on a rooftop with no escape for hours, and there was literally nothing else he could do but fight. This does not make him a hero. It makes him a soldier with a sore bum.

For every local LAN attack there are mitigation techniques.
Cisco Switches have great features like DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to eliminate rogue DHCP servers and ARP spoofing.

Further yet, with "switch-port security" you can lock down mac addresses per port. With port security and proper device segregation if you spoofed a phones mac address and plugged in to that port the switch would still put you in to only the voice vlan not the data lan. It's not perfect but there are a lot of things you can do to secure a local LAN.

Unfortunately, most businesses must not even do the bare minimum if all they have to do is plug in a single PwnPlug without any attack vectors implemented like mac spoofing.
This is a timely release - one of the question titles for the upcoming Codesprint Quora challenge[1] is "Quora Typeahead Search."

Regarding open source, I think the point about security is not so much that you will read the entire source yourself, but that the reading of the source is, like its writing, a collective enterprise. If there's a backdoor, somebody at some point will see it.
The Source (and Goldsrc) engines support a Linux dedicated server, which explains the job listing. As far as using Linux goes, unlikely, since people won't be able to play any of the games they already own.

It's hard to tell what your target market is. Much of the marketing material on your website seems to be aimed at general consumers with difficult-to-ship items. How much "hand holding" do you offer them, given the fact that owner/operator truck drivers aren't really known for their high standard of customer service? Why would I use your site instead of a specialist transport company?

Your homepage is far too busy, and I think there is too much reliance on images which don't add any value to the content. Try this exercise: try to write a caption for each image you have. If it is hard to come up with one that makes sense and fits with the rest of your content, the image probably isn't adding value.

(you can surround statements with asterisks like so to get italics :) )

You're basically correct in your interpretation of my views on the security theater and the like. The sad, sorry state of the matter is that when your country is as wealthy as ours, and--more importantly--as large as ours, you kind of have to stop thinking about things any other way than statistically.

It's a hell of a thing to say, but honestly, what's a few thousand deaths in a fluke attack? What's a few hundred million dollars worth of property damage?

The likelihood of that happening to any one of us is so small as to be absurd--even less if everyone is armed, but that is a brand of crazy I don't expect to sell to everyone.

The damage these attacks has actually done to us has been to invoke this media meme of the evil terrorists coming to kill us in our moment of distraction.

The initial loss my country suffered has been compounded beyond all reason by the fear-mongering and reactionary policy-making. Worse still, while we fret about a loss of men and material over a decade ago, our government (with, apparently, our own consent and approval!) has gone on to attack our fundamental liberties and notions of decency so systematically that many still refuse to believe they're up to anything.

All because people are dumb, and get afraid, and are susceptible to the same emotional pandering as they've always been. Oddly enough, I'm actually in agreement with javert about the fact that people should reason more--I just know that you can't write policy that depends on it.

People don't usually acknowledge it themselves, but that's how oral narration works - it has to keep the listener's interest and relate to them, be it either an anecdote or something that happened to one yesterday. Compare someone asking for accept ("permission" for telling the story): 'Hey, know what tall black guy living next to me? [audience reaction] So, yesterday we went to...' vs 'At a certain time, I went with this person to...' (you can add M. and N., if you want - like in Chekhov novels) The other version lacks any way to relate to listener(s) and would feel pretty dry.
