Better color eyesight is a disadvantage for hunting and probably military type games where the enemy may hide. Color differentiation is great for picking the right berries, but in hunting, more colors means more visual noise. Since it's a game, women could possibly set their screen colors to simulate deuteranopia (red-green colorblindness) and possibly pick up that advantage.

You didn't say where your current job is, but in Chicago DePaul university had a lot of CS classes that go 6pm to 9pm, and you get a real degree at the end.

Like I said before, cite the case so we can all join in on the fun.

As near as I can tell, the case you are talking about is 82 U.S. 78 (1987).

And if you actually read the case, you will find that procreation is directly involved in the ruling.

Here is a quote directly from it.

In addition, many religions recognize marriage as having spiritual significance; for some inmates and their spouses, therefore, the commitment of marriage may be an exercise of religious faith as well as an expression of personal dedication. Third, most inmates eventually will be released by parole or commutation, and therefore most inmate marriages are formed in the expectation that they ultimately will be fully consummated. Finally, marital status often is a precondition to the receipt of government benefits (e. g., Social Security benefits), property rights (e. g., tenancy by the entirety, inheritance rights), and other, less tangible benefits (e. g., legitimation of children born out of wedlock). These incidents of marriage, like the religious and personal aspects of the marriage commitment, are unaffected by the fact of confinement or the pursuit of legitimate corrections goals.

And yes, that is in the same paragraph in which your statement of it not pertaining to reproduction is being made. However, if we look at the terms "fully consummated" we find that it has everything to do with procreation.

Now I know why you wanted to keep this case a secrete, it doesn't say what you are pretending it says. What does that tell you when your argument boils down to purposely hiding relevant facts in order to misrepresent others?

Listening to music just entices them to spend $200 a ticket to see the live performance on stage.

Lining the pockets of ticketmaster, an entity possibly more evil than the RIAA labels. In 1976 a ticket to see ELO, Journey, and Golden Earring together at Kiel auditorium in St Louis (all three bands, one after the other) cost $5 -- and those were the expensive seats. The cheap seats cost $3. That was the going price. Googling shows the price of bread four years later at fifty cents; I pay a dollar now at County Market. Here's a chart.

Why has the price of bread merely doubled while the price of a concert ticket has soared to four hundred times what it was then?

I'll stick to local bands, thanks; I may be a nerd but I'm not Bill Gates and I can't afford $200 to see the Rolling Stones, especially when I paid three dollars to see Blind Faith and Yes. And the local guys are not only as talented (well, some of them aren't) but I can drink a beer while listening and I only pay a $3 to $5 cover charge.

The only thing I know of that has shot up in price like that is medical care and illegal drugs. These people don't need guns to steal.

When our daughter was little, we muted commercials as they came on. When she was old enough to ask, she wanted to know why. I always said the same thing: "They're just trying to trick you into buying something you don't need."

A few years later, her kindergarten teacher told me that she was doing a test for Conservation of Number, and put 4 blocks close together and then 4 blocks far apart, and asked which row had more in it. My daughter replied "But that's silly; all you did was spread them out. Are you trying to trick me?"

The teacher said that many kids have conservation of number by kindergarten. But none before had ever accused her of intentional deception.

Her mother and I were so proud. Our kids don't even trust their schoolteachers, and they'd learned the lesson at age 5!

In this list, a cursory scan reveals that there are many events that trigger various procedures, but the only moral prohibition I could find was incest. Perhaps if you look more closely, you might find something else (and there were things I think you could argue about, but incest was the only one clearly wrong or right). From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense that anything goes except when it might screw up your genes. Different localities require or are at least amenable to variation in procedure.

So if you want to build up a theory of morality axiomatically, it seems that the only human right is to not be forced to have sex with your mom (although I had sex with your mom all night long haha).

So the next level of requirements would have extremely broad, but not universal acceptance - things like prohibitions on unnecessary killing. So most (and I think we can agree in all relatively functional) civil societies, we can adopt this idea.

However, like your drowning man example, if it is an effortless or nearly effortless action to save someone from death, but you let them die, aren't you in effect killing them? I think there are two ways you could argue this: How much effort is nearly effortless? Can we put a hard number, or perhaps a mean in Joules expended? Is it unethical for a someone living in the US saving their neighbors (perhaps as a doctor) but never send money to Africa? Either you're killing all the people you could potentially save, or it is outside of your responsibility. As a practical matter, if you choose to save some people, you are excluding others (you only have so much time/money).

The point is, in the real world, it is impossible to completely satisfy this sort of ethics unless you run yourself into an early grave. After all, how can you sleep at night? Literally. People die while you are sleeping. Obviously, as a practical matter, one must kill a large number of people in order to live a happy life. Things are getting crazy!

So including POSITIVE obligations as part of our definition of secondary human rights is crazy as a practical matter. It is much better to define things we shouldn't do that don't conflict with the basic satisfaction of our metabolic processes, because, while they may add a finite number of steps to avoid each action, they are manageable. Positive obligations to all people add many simultaneous steps each second and build up at an unmanageable rate. Not taking action to kill people is pretty easy to do in my book.

So we have our not killing people thing in place on the basis that most people don't like it. However, the no screwing mom prohibition was explained as proliferating your genes without nearly guaranteed defects. So why is killing people bad? A good example of the point I am about to make is: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die." What you reap is what you sow. Most people don't want retaliation vis a vis death used against them no matter what sort of wrong they might commit. The best way to insure that is that people agree, hey, let's NOT kill each other because it causes a cycle of violence.

So this no unnece

Pretty impressive, they even teach why it will be difficult to get a job when you graduate:

One of the biggest things I see when hiring college grads is that while they understand how a computer works, why languages behave the way they do, and what a certain language syntax is, they have very little knowledge of how to actually build applications from initial concept to full delivery. This type of knowledge generally falls into the "Software Engineering" category. Learn how to write and read requirements. Learn how to do formal estimates from requirements. Learn about different software development life cycles. Learn about requirements traceability and testing. Learn about software patterns. A lot of these topics are covered in Masters degrees in Software Engineering, so those are good places to look at for books on it. Here is an example, you can look at the classes to find the books used http://www.cti.depaul.edu/academics/Pages/MSinSoftwareEngineering.aspx

Yep. I was in the course, actually.

For those of you too lazy to ready the webpage: the assignment was in three parts. First, given a simple Java-based voting terminal (HackAVote), hack it (inconspicuously) to bias an election to serve your own nefarious purposes. Second, given another group's hacked terminal, how many of their hacks could you find without the source code? With the source code? Finally, design a provably secure algorithm (using cryptyc) for communication between the smart card and voting terminal, and an appropriate smart-card distribution scheme.

My experiences: hiding bugs is easy (duh). Finding bugs in black-box testing is hard (duh). Finding them with source code is substantially easier, but still non-trivial. Finally, getting it right, while not impossible, is non-trivial! There are a *lot* of cases to consider (nefarious poll workers, smart-card hackers, people with access to a machine that "fell off the back of a truck", etc.)

Dan wrote a paper about the experience. It's worth a quick read. Finally, his homepage is rather amusing, beyond the typical nerdly computer-science professor stuff.

Oh, I can... but as I said to another poster, the tact Jobs has taken is harsh.

And while I agree with all your point, and can even give small link to validate your comment, would it be so hard for Apple to Open Source the entire Newton OS and not just the toolkit??? Or is that asking too much? Sounds like Jobs just hedging the bet at everyones expense.

"great and seminal" sounds like it includes a popularity issue. If it's a interesting point and it's new to me, then I'm happy. My personal web page is a attempt to catalog interesting points of computer science, independant of how new or old they are. And if we are counting AI topics, I come up with new and interesting ideas all the time, but we'll have to wait 50 years to see if they are "great and seminal" ;). Actually a precopy of one of my papers which tries to relate evolution to AI and stastical inference is on my page at http://students.depaul.edu/~csweeney under my journal/game theory paper, if anyone cares.

Avoiding Network Capacity Collapse

I teach high school geometry, and believe the only way to learn geometry is by doing. There's an excellent book I use that is also used in many Chicago-area schools called "Wholemovement Geometry," which involves constructing various 3-D polyhedra using only paper plates (the cheaper the better) and tape. No cutting necessary, as the unused parts of the circles are simply extra information that are folded away. Here's a link to some of the things you never thought were possible to create from paper plates.

Chicago's DePaul University has had one for about a year. Here's the info page. Their only security seems to be that you need a username and password to download their 128-bit WEP key. But there are some areas that do not have any security.

Oh yeah, $80 a month should definitely entitle you to 1/4th of a T1 constant speed at less than 1/10th of the price.

This is only because the telcos advertise T1's as premium service. They want to keep businesses on the expensive service. If too many businesses found out they could get fractional-T1 at much cheaper prices, they would lose the huge profits they can get from them. The cost in the T1 tends to be the service offered from the telco.

Some stuff to read:

1) Link
2) DSL FAQ Read the section on T1 especially the last two sentences.

It's been about 6 years now, and I'm starting to get the itch to finish my last year of school, but due to still needing/wanting to work, it's not possible for me to go back to the original school. ( I went to RPI in New York, and currently work in Chicago area, so the commute would be hell ).

I started looking into local schools that I could attend to finish up. Most wanted me to attend them for at least 4 semesters before they'd grant a degree, and then there's the problem of transferring credits from one school to another, etc. I finally found a school that would let me finish the way I wanted. DePaul University ( a respected institution ) has a School for New Learning. That allows adults who previously skipped or ( like me ) never completed college to apply whatever previous college credit they have, along with taking into account your work experience, towards a BA degree. You can also continue on in the same manner towards an MA as well.

DePaul is located in the Chicago area, but it is quite possible that similar programs exist near you. If you haven't finished a degree yet, but have several years of experience in your industry, this type of program definitely seems the way to go.
