Good Email For Kids?
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
I'm not a parent, but if I was, I'd have an age when they could get on the Internet. The internet is not a safe place for young kids in my opinion.
As a parent, I am already planning what to do when this situation comes to light. My answer: moderate their internet usage. That's right. Me or the wife will be watching what sites they visit. I will set up a laptop just for them, with their kid games and such.
It will mean a lot of work, but it will avoid more problems than it causes. And as a bonus, it is spending time with the kids.
After having read this particular disagree mail postings, I feel dumber, as if those particular mail messages has a magic spell of IQ Sucking attached to them. Must get...brain...out of here...
Um, to me at least, $170 for a graphics card is not "cheap"...
Just be patient. As with all things tech, the first product comes out highly priced. First adopters with too much money and/or ego on their hands buy them. The product trickles down to more common folk who think $50 for a graphics card is expensive after a year or two.
It comes down to: Are you a gamer, or not? If you are a true PC gamer, then you buy the new cards because the new gamers require them. Gone are the days of Duke Nukem 3D running like a screamin' banshee on an AMD K6-233 at 1024x768.
Ultimately, these upper end fools with all their money and ego benefit everyone at some point, so just enjoy the ride.
I would like to think that in addition to throwing more hardware at the problem, that the folks are smart enough to update the algorithms as much as they can. I would be curious, as well, to the general concepts behind their implementation.
Yay! Count me as one of the people who will be happy to see a Windows OS that he doesn't have to ravage with a bazooka to remove the cruft.
At home or work, I don't touch Outlook/Express/Windows Mail, preferring Thunderbird at home. My work uses Pegasus Mail. For photos and videos, I install 3rd party apps, anywho. Between Irfanview, Inkscape and Paint.NET, all my graphical needs are met.
I am rather happy to see Microsoft NOT follow Apple's lead in packing more junk. Wait...did I just compliment Microsoft?
Could this possibly lead to my dream mobile phone? Could it? With the Android platform being open-source, I think it is just possible.
What is my dream mobile phone? It is JUST A FREAKIN' PHONE. No touch screen. No web browsing. Just a single line B&W LCD, maybe two lines for easier caller ID printing. And with big buttons.
Without a big fancy screen, the phone would cost less to make. That extra space could have a bigger fractal antenna pattern board or something for even better reception. And without all of those useless extra features, a battery life exceeding any phone made today.
...Palin would probably have to admit that she's using her personal e-mail for at least some work-related e-mails.
She wouldn't have to answer the question. The information was discovered via illegal means and would be inadmissible in legal proceedings. Even now, she cannot legally be asked that question. And she doesn't have to respond, because officially, there is nothing to respond to.
Some of you people on here are such freakin' hypocrits. Private is private. Don't pick and parcel it. We are all either protected by the same right to privacy, or none of us are. Defending the hacker? Would you be defending the little brat if he has hacked YOUR e-mail and posted a screen print that showed a bank account number? Or maybe a message with a subject line like, "I enjoyed last night", and it had nothing to do with your wife?
DOS is the king, baby! And there exists software to let DOS access FAT32, NTFS, USB devices, etc. You don't get plug'n'play, but you will get an OS that boots fast, uses very little ram and can use a friendly text editors.
That was the point of the examples he gave there are lots and lots of things that are easier to do in lazy languages than in mainstream languages. Huge blocks of code simply aren't written because they aren't needed.
...because the underlying code was already written and is being used by the above layer. The lower layer was probably written in C. And that underlying execution engine needs to be programmed, profiled and optimized for the very multi-core operation that adherents of lazy func's claim. That underlying C code is what needs to be written carefully, because you use Haskell itself to write its own compiler. So, lazy functional languages are another variation of 4GL stuff.

If only it were that simple...Uwe Bol would have disappeared years ago under such a premise.
*knock knock* "Hi, I am Uwe Bol. Here is $5. I am sorry for having been allowed to make the movies I have. I understand that you will never have that time back in your life, but maybe this money will help you buy a cheeseburger or something."
This is a tall claim to make about an experiment impossible to conduct. How do you know what would happen? People are, biologically, group animals and there are powerful mechanisms for forming groups and, as a result, for distinguishing group members from non-members. When first introduced, people form groups by superficial means, such as appearances.
And this would explain why the military's model of basic training is so successful. You put everyone in the same uniform, treat them all the same, thus forcing them to share the same experiences and voila! You have just induced tribalism. The uniform becomes the new skin color.
This is why I don't own a cell phone. enough people have at least one, there is always one around if I need one.
You don't have to leave it on, you know. I bought AAA for my wife. Then I bought her a cell phone when I realized she would have had no way to have used the road-side assistance. It is a pay-as-you-go phone and it is off for weeks at a time. The $10/mo is a peace of mind that my wife and two kids won't be stuck on a road for very long if there is trouble.
Thus, cell phones have at least one positive use.
And, I believe, cell phones are about the only to have a phone in rural places of Africa and India, where the running of land-lines would have been prohibitively costly.

"...and performance like a conventional automobile."
With a top speed of 80, I don't think so. Except maybe during LA at crunch time, this car would get run over on pretty much another highway system going as slow as 80 MPH.
If you only intent to use it to commute to work and you don't need the highways, then maybe this is the car for you. But at $25k, you would have to commute to work for many years to recoup the investment.
Now, if you buy it for the ego factor, well then! $25k is cheap. But, I gotta say...when are these specialty car makers going to figure out that if they really want to impact the market, they are gonna have to offer up a price of $12k to attract the people who could really benefit from a 125 MPG vehicle? The average factory worker making $10/hr could really use this car, that is, if they can even afford a second car. This car ain't exactly family friendly, so maybe even Joe Bob Factory worker would never buy this car.

But you are expected to trust some obscure German software company. Right.
The sad thing is, some of you will (but then, you already use Windows...)
Hey, you! That's not nice. Some of us don't have a choice in our workplace OS.
You insensitive clod.
I dont just want a fuckin phone, I want a phone to provide solutions to Global Warming, AIDS and Fat People. THAT is the phone I want, dammit!
Sorry, Apple blocked those applications, and due to the NDA, the developers cannot tell us they've been rejected.
Now, if it makes you feel any better, there will be an open-source solution for Save The Whales and ACORN.

see amd ... they have 3 cores in one chip and the shit fares prety well
AMD once said there was a greater efficiency in interconnecting 3 cores, compared to 4.
Amen.
I find it interesting just how invasive the marketers have become with internet browsing, and the fact that they find no moral qualms with doing it.

Someone wake me up when there's a 1TB SSD for $250 that can do unlimited rewrite ops.
Um, even mechanical hard drives cannot promise unlimited rewrite ops. Maybe you want lower your sights jut a tad?
