A single core is not equivalent to a hexa core so I think PVU's make more sense in today's world. What I would like from them is to be more transparent with the requirement to use ILMT.
Not to mention the fact that he had a copy of Office Preview. Stuff can still get changed in the software until the final version, and from my personal experience with Microsoft products it almost always fixes these kind of bugs.
And the museum refused to fund an expedition for finding this? And the Scientist waited a year until the photographer went back there. It doesn't look to me that it was hard to find (especially since thy had an uncataloged specimen). I see that in this case the Scientist didn't want to be bothered very much with it. Furthermore he named the specie after his daughter and not the finder.
When has the exitement for discovery got so casual?
I think you're reading into it too much, and you're taking it too far away from the context between Dad and Daughter. This is, and will be, their own personal experiences. For some starting a hedge fund can be seen as high-risk, when for someone that has run one for years (Dad's case) or for someone that's been around one for years (Daughter's case) it can be seen as low-risk.
If Dad was an MD he would've said don't become a surgeon, do research and try to change current procedures. At least that's my take on the blog.
I see Dad's advice as going for something that can have more meaning to you and for which you need balls then for the safe/low risk model.
It's not about stress, it's about the need of the individual to make a difference. Doing something that has been done before it's not that exciting for a 20-ish year old. But someone older will take comfort in it.
I see Google+ as the foundation of Google Glass.
Just think about it: Google Glass + Google Now + Google+ makes sense.
People complain that there isn't much to do now, but I bet that it'll be a lot different come Glass.
I'm enjoying Office 2010 a lot. Especially OneNote and Outlook. Everything is so nicely done, and I'm a power-user so I'm actively using it to the limits.
But I'm a power-user and I use keyboard short-cuts, categories, search folders, write my own add-ons if I need them etc.
There's a difference between a design that you use the first time and a design that you use all the time. It doesn't make sense to change the buttons just so you can figure them easier on the first time (I had no problems by the way with it). When I'm spending large stretches of time reading I actually enjoy having the buttons on each side go to the next page. I'm not staying in the exact same position as I was an hour ago, or maybe the same side. If you're lying somewhere you want to spend as little effort as possible just to go to the next page.
You said so yourself, the US and Sweden pay the same rates. What's left is who's making the profit on the sales for the next 30 years. No wonder the guys drilling works for an American company. Somebody has to lobby right?
I wasn't suggesting that this was about American prosperity. I was suggesting that this is about who's lobbying Congress to do what and with what money.
