In my experience, the critical threshold for a display to become useable for a general purpose has been one megapixel.

Office displays progressed from 1024x768 to 1280x1024, and in most cases did not need to go further to 1600x1200. My laptop is useable at 1366x768, whereas lower resolutions aren't. And my phone is about right at 1280x720, whereas I could neither type nor browse the web on 800x480.

I'm sad to say it, but I'll be waiting for the second generation.
Right, but that suggests there are also desktop/laptop machines running "real Office" that the same people use for creating new material. Microsoft still make an awful lot of money serving that market.

Meanwhile, the norms for selling tablet software are very different to traditional business software. ("What, you want me to pay TEN WHOLE DOLLARS for an app that's going to save me at least an hour every day? Are you crazy?!")

Releasing a full office suite onto tablets is not a no-brainer decision in that context, and I'm not surprised the new CEO hasn't pushed the button yet.

It seems unlikely that a tablet version would make anything like the revenues per user the traditional desktop version did. Perhaps MS can establish some sort of subscription SaaS model here, but I'm extremely sceptical about the long-time viability of that model as a replacement for traditional COTS software products.

On the other hand, if a tablet version provided a decent viewing platform for people who do do more reading than writing, it could potentially damage desktop sales if those people would otherwise have been added into the site licence or similar for the full desktop suite but no longer feel they need to be because they can just use the tablet at their desks as well.

> I appreciate your level-headed unbiased approach. You prefer Fox News, I presume?

What an amazing argument, because there are only two media outlets in the world -- Fox News and Huffington Post. No, I prefer Völkischer Beobachter obviously.

> So, for you, Russian sources are propaganda, and EU and Israel sources are misinformed (apparently by the Russians), and only Ukrainian pro-Maidan sources matter.

EU is generally ok, nobody supports Putin, except few marginal media outlets (or marginals inside of mainstream outlet), so you need to mine for a good quote -- Russian propagandists even had to leak taped Paet conversations to mine good for them quote.

> and only Ukrainian pro-Maidan sources matter.

Good sources matter (like independent journalists reporting facts), authoritative opinions matter (like opinion about local antisemitism by local Jewish community). Opinions of some leftie guy from the different part of the Earth, who decided to mine some quotes for one side and call that "analysis" -- no, sorry, thing like these don't matter.

> Do you think the armed masked "peaceful demonstrators" storming government buildings might have something to do with it?

This has everything to do with the president who at first stole billions, then decided to shot in his own citizens killing almost 100, and then fled away cutting all communications, including communications with his own party.

> I think those armed masked people are the reason why the Ukrainian Jews wrote such a letter.

Nice conspiracy theory. Strangely, people like Joseph Zisels were not afraid to speak out in the Soviet Union (where Zisels was held in prison for some years for his anti-Soviet views), but now they are so scared that even write panegyrics about neo-Nazis.

> Here is what a chief Ukrainian rabbi has to say about "peaceful protesters" [1]:

Oh, jeez. You just can't not to bring here all the pro-Russian lies? Haaretz lied. See "How newspaper Haaretz distorted words of Ukrainian Rabbi" [1]. Long story short -- 1) Haaretz chronologically moved the statement by the rabbi. Reuven Azman told about it on 20 February, the day when snipers killed more than 50, so it made sense in context. Haaretz published it on 22 February, when Yanukovich already fled and the situation was stable. So Azman talked about the danger _from Yanukovich_, not from protesters. 2) Haaretz misquoted Azman, his statement was not about all Jews, but only women and children. Extended to all Kiev's Jews by Haaretz. 3) And then Haaretz claimed that Azman had connections with Kremlin -- and that was the claim Azmad actually considered to sue them for.

Now Rabbi Reuven Azman just like everybody else denies Russian lies about neo-Nazism [2] -- "Chief Rabbi of Kyiv and Ukraine: There is no Ethnic or Religious Hatred in Ukraine".

Rent: You can get a decent house or apartment for $150 / month.

Food: I can eat a street meal here for around 50 cents. For something fancy, I can eat out for $1.50. McDonald's is an expensive meal at $3.50 for 1/4 Pounder w/ cheese meal. A nice restaurant might charge $6. To get more expensive than that you have to eat at a European owned place which imports food I have never heard of with names I can't pronounce.

Electric: ~ $35 / month.

Water: ~ $15 / month.

Internet: ~ $25 / month.

I have lived here long enough that I have become completely out of touch with the prices in places like the U.S. and Europe. Singapore is right in my backyard though.

"To confirm their hunch, they created around 600 small mesh bags and stuffed them each with leaves, collected at an uncontaminated site..."

They used uncontaminated samples yet the environment killed the microorganisms and fungi they brought in. I think this doesn't work as long as the radiation level stays this high in the area.

The issue is most likely that high radiation levels are inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. So new microorganisms would probably just die.

Note that this is not particularly unexpected. We do this on purpose (in a more controlled manner) to prevent spoilage of food and reduce food borne illnesses.

>Could a pilot do this completely on his own? Turn off the communication system, fly 4 hours into a different direction and then nosedive into the ocean?

Yes.

Egypt Air is an example of a pilot committing suicide, before doing so he pulled the circuit breakers for most systems including some for the flight data recorders (black boxes).

For safety reasons a pilot needs to be able to quickly isolate any system (even ones that are 'vital'). If the pilot wishes to kill everyone, he will, there is no point trying to design against that. However as the vast majority of pilots are frequently making changes to the automated systems idea of the world for the better of the plane.

At the moment on many forums there are a lot of comments from people saying we need to clip the wings, so to speak, of pilots, limit what they can do. These people have never sat on the left.

I would've said it was approximate enough in whe Windows 3.1 days when it could perform a soft reboot. But since Windows 2000, it has had completely different functionality (sometimes allowing you to log in, sometimes giving you a process manager oslt), not even remotely approximate to the magic sysrq sequence presented here. Do tell me if this has changed since Windows Vista.

Linux, by the way, can also respond to Ctrl-alt-del, and depending on the desktop it might perform functions similar to Windows.

There is another value that is at play in the consumer decision. Artist integrity. People gladly reward integrity by paying. The consumer feels good doing that, because they know they are encouraging more artists to do good work, not just entertainment as a shallow product exchange.

It wasn't just a consumer decison based on availability and pricing. People make decisions based on emotions and value systems.

Mandarin, technically, refers to the standardised accent of Northern Chinese. If by Mandarin you mean spoken and written Simplified Chinese, of course, that would be difficult. Many Chinese students have to struggle for a decade on it, too, not to mention the required ancient Chinese in textbooks.

Programmers in China are more or less capable to at least read documentations in English, some may even have skills in writing and speaking.

I have heard that learning German language is less paid off because Germans are just damn good at English that they do not always need a German-Chinese translator/interpreter but talk in English during a business conversation.

Wireless sensors? [Citation needed]

I don't have direct experience with the 777, but do with the 787 and other aircraft systems. I am not aware of any wireless sensors. There are a lot of sensors which communicate with the various computers over multiplexed wired data buses.

ARINC 429 is a legacy, but still heavily used, digital data bus.

ARINC 629 is used on the 777.

ARINC 664 is used on the 787 (and Airbus A380).

The military systems and some commercial systems also use MIL-STD-1553 and other digital busses.

All wired.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARINC
Basically, radiation is effecting the ability of natural decomposition processes in the exclusion zone. A study was conducted with natural leaves in panty hose bags within the exclusion zone and outside it. 60% percent of the weight of the bags was still retained in the exclusion zone after one year.

This is a major concern because the exclusion zone (particularly the Red Forest) has 27 years of litter (leaves and other plant material) which is a fire hazard. A large fire could redistribute the radioactive material outside of the exclusion zone.

Hope that helps.

As a potential solution, has anyone considered sprinkling the area with graphite, massive amounts of graphite flakes? It's quite difficult to burn nuclear grade graphite, and it might actually act as a moderator for the fallout and help to control what's happening randomly.

Maybe the solution is to dump a moderator over the area and seed it with organisms and see if something takes hold? Either way, this doesn't seem to be an intractable problem if one is a bit lax in terms of long term uncertainty. (this would throw off the projections of how this is going to play out 500 years from now)

Ultimately all consistent objective decisionmaking processes [1] must come down to a single number - that's a simple exercise in undergrad topology. Anything else will be either subjective or inconsistent (i.e., we prefer A to B, and B to C, but prefer C to A).

Totally agree. Value given by artists preceeds reward, not the other way around.

We see this in companies going the extra mile, beyond the call of their duty: For me, it's not business anymore, it's a bond where you become advocate for that company, for life. Where you refer everyone you know. It transcends a purely mercantile relationship.

I pay more because I've had a good experience, I tip when the service is good, when I like the food and the vibe. I increase price when I'm delighted because some people push my right buttons. It may even be a smile that'll make me buy it for a higher price than it is, or not negociate a price.
I saw a documentary about the Chernobyl exclusion zone a couple of years back. One of the more interesting facts was that while the radioation levels on the ground and soil surface have slowly gone down, the radiation levels from the trees are higher.

Explanation for this oddity was also provided, and like most things, makes perfect sense in retrospect. The radioactive particles have been slowly washed downwards in the soil, which explains the soil surface figures. But as the particles get to the depth where trees and saplings have their roots, these suck the particles in and eventually they get distributed in the leaves.

Funky, but oh so natural.

Burger bear tom has the best burger in London. 80% of the programmers at the company I work for (myself included) went in at the 1-month-of-burgers level as soon as the KS launched and then the company chipped in to buy a team lunch for everyone.

Actually $5/meal is on the high side, you can eat healthily for significantly less than that. You just have to drop the bad expectation of eating elaborately cooked meals all the time. A cheese sandwich for example costs perhaps a few tens of cents at most.
From BanBossy.org:

When a little boy asserts himself, he's called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded “bossy.” Words like bossy send a message: don't raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys—a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.

So yes, as others have said here, the goal is not necessarily (or only) to get rid of the usage of the word. But as is very evident from other responses, that is not immediately obvious to everyone, in no small part because of the arguably poor catch phrase being used.

I'm also not thrilled with some of the 'motivational' phrases being thrown around. "I'm not bossy; I'm the boss" (Beyonce) is not constructive. It's puerile and is more likely to encourage actual bossy behavior (the negative kind, as defined well elsewhere in this thread) than to help introduce equality in the way we encourage leadership attributes in all children.

Not, of course, that equality seems to be emphasized here. Which is a typical problem and one that's unlikely to help this campaign make a real difference, as it's immediately exclusive to some degree rather than encouraging everyone to be confident.
