okay dude, seriously, they need to all be wearing pants at least. There's graphical and violent and there's a dude with no pants. If PG-13 will get them to put some damn pants on, then that'd great.
What the story fails to mention is the doubly unfortunate part that the first blast's radiation gave him super powers but the second one reset them and wiped them away:( bad luck!
I think it's more of a YRO since it's almost literally your rights online. Cuz obviously they're going to be violated when someone hacks into everyone's medical information now that it's all in one place. But I'm sure some idiot assured them that it's "unhackable." I do think people make a bit of a big deal about it. So what if someone finds out I hurt my finger when I was 16 and it turned out it wasn't broken? The hilarious part is going to be if any celebrity records are hacked and leaked and they had all sorts of embarrassing treatments and operations. Then of course they're all gonna sue and it will get shut down but it'll be worth a laugh in the meantime.
dude, I just wrote a multicore app a few days ago. There's some slightly inefficient but still faster workarounds for not being able to share memory/variables between threads. If you have to process one big, long thing write some code to set it up to start the calculations at 100% divided by the number of cores then start each of them at the same time. Then have the results written to the hard drive since it can't directly share variables very well then read it all in when they all get done and combine the results. This doesn't work for all cases of course but that's how my app works.
If you're going to learn C# you might as well learn VB.NET and ASP.NET too because I always see that on job listings too. It's hard to practice ASP.NET yourself because who the heck owns a windows server available to them? But VB is really easy. Everyone hates on it because it's "not real programming" or some other BS like that. Look, I learned real programming, you learned real programming, so let's learn VB. I'm an absolute VB.NET expert because that's what modern companies use to develop non-critical, non-backbone apps fast. If you don't know it, you're only going to get jobs with out of date companies that still write all their apps in C++. When you have to trick the programming language just to use strings as a datatype, it's time to update to a younger programming language. With VB you can add and subtract time in one line. How many lins of code does that take in C++? So that's what most companies are switching to simply to save development time even though the apps are bulky, use a lot of memory, and run slower.
What the major problem is that you went to one of those long term colleges that teach programming theory and then you graduate and have no idea how to actually program in real life. You need to have the background on how it works but seriously, you need to learn a commonly used language solidly too so you can do something other than teach a programming class. I on the other hand took programming basics in high school with C++ and we learned all about how programming really works. Then I repeated that type of class in the 2 year technical college I went to and then had 3 semester of intro to VB, intermediate VB, and advanced VB. I'm not some spoiled programmer that only learned VB and doesn't even know how variables work or how objects work behind the scenes, etc AND I can throw together some seriously awesome apps really fast. A few months after I graduated, I wrote an entire XML to 3rd party database translation application that's fully automated and meant for the most basic, non-geeky user. It works perfectly, looks great, has a good, efficient design, and I wrote it all in a month. Now a huge number of agility events in the US (the thing with the dogs on ESPN) use my software along with my boss' online signup program that creates the XML file. That's right, I as a 2 year college graduate that specialized in VB put together a nationwide software solution months after graduating. In fact, you may want to consider taking some VB or other modern language classes at a technical college instead of learning it on your own. I've heard that most 4 year college graduates around here have to come to my college to get trained in actual programming because their college only taught theory and they kept getting fired from jobs for sucking at actual programming:P
well obviously it wasn't them. The FBI or some government people probably contacted them and told them they need to stop allowing credit card operations to take place there.
maybe they changed it but isn't Apple doing exactly that? They're forcing people to use AT&T unless they hack their iPhones and unlock them? I mean nobody's forcing you to buy one of those stupid, proprietary pieces of crap from Apple in the first place but they're still forcing AT&T's inferior service down people's throats and then not delivering on their promises.
I mean when you really think about it, getting unlimited energy from basically nowhere for next to free over the long run is awfully risky. I mean where's the profit model there? I just can't see it. And how can they calculate a profit margin when the energy is free? Their calculators just keep saying error when they try and divide it out. I can see why they gave up.
I second that one! I specifically took what I learned in chemistry and did this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMITFo66qWg
and no, the grass still hasn't grown back lol
I was doing a temporary contract position at a place replacing 130 PCs and it took me about 2 days for the other workers to tell me who's gonna be a difficult jackass and who's going to be nice about the swap and I didn't even ask them. They just told me, "Watch out for him, he's a jerk" and I bet if asked how good of a worked other people were in general, they'd all be able to report the lazy, useless people just as easily and a hell of a lot more accurately than some computer.
Okay the guy in the summary sounds like a douchebag but you know what I'm really sick of? Older assholes who think that because they learned Basic back in the 80's or whatever that they're such a better programmer. In my college advanced VB class there was an older dude getting re-trained for his company and I, as a 19 year old, was programming circles around him. He thought he knew it all and was really laid back and didn't put in much effort and showed off his neat little tricks he learned but his final programs sucked. And in the workplace now, I have the unfortunate disadvantage of looking 16 even though I'm almost 22 so everyone treates me like I'm 16. I have the distinct feeling that even if I'm the best programmer and best employee they have in the IT department, they wouldn't promote me simply because of my age and my looks. This idea that people have to work for years before moving up the ladder and it's all based on experience and not actual skill is bullshit and it needs to stop. But I also agree that clueless, mostly unskilled young people looking for pats on the back for stuff they should be doing anyway are pretty annoying too.
I think I heard one time about a free, open source IP-geogrphy list or database you can implement in programs and webpage code. Other than that, databases that DNSStuff.com use all want money for you to access them. They're probably a bit more accurate and up to date but I doubt you want to pay for their use. Other than that, you can look them up manually and make a whitelist type filter like the first reply said but then you have to cross your fingers and hope no location ever changes their IP addresses (yeah right). Plus, some local people are using protection programs and proxy internet content filters that make it look like they're from elsewhere. And other people could just use a local proxy server to make it look like they're from your area. There really is no good solution to this at all but that won't stop me from suggesting the best possible system:
Put a splash page that says for example "Click here if you're from Wisconsin" and then "Click here if you're from elsewhere" and if they don't click the Wisconsin one, BOOM! it runs a script that banned them from the server. Now that's foolproof lol.
Everyone else is busy showing off their ridiculously gigantic accelerators while the littler one makes all the discoveries. I guess that means it's not the size of the particle accelerator but how wisely you use it:D
Hey they's funny because I seem to keep losing weight since I started playing FPS games that make me sweat my ass off and my heart pound and also playing DDR. Must be some other explanation cuz everyone knows, gaming is teh evilz!
who reads stories twice here when they're that far apart? I think we even need a third article that explains why eactly hulu blocked them. I don't really get it. What's up Hulu's ass? They're loading their website, so what, get over it.
Besides accessability and glitches, you really shouldn't give anything secretive to a 3rd party to control and store anyway. Anyone who got some private information accidentally shared by this glitch definitely deserves it.
if that's the case, why haven't they added us as friends on twitter or called? Or at least sent some comments on our Hitler speech that was broadcast into space:P
I know this is obvious to most people but the "habitable zone" is awfully generous. It's hard to gauge the exact amount of heat given off by a star from as far away as we are. Plus, the atmosphere content is extremely important. Our moon is basically the same distance away from the sun as us and with no atmosphere it goes from like -180 to +200 F or something like that. So yeah, it kinda needs to have an exact amount of certain gases to keep water from boiling and freezing repeatedly, which would probably kill everything organic in it. And how are be supposed to tell if it's 40% as opposed to 50% CO2 in the atmosphere from all the way out here? It's impossible and that could mean a huuuuge temperature difference. So even if they find one that's supposedly perfect from what we can detect, it's still extremely likely that it's not.
I believe one of the Volt options is that you can have most of the top of the car covered in solar cells. Or it's at least the sun roof and maybe the trim. That makes it go well over 40 miles so I guess that means it's economical now. I don't know why they couldn't just mention that.
if by that you mean they're stranded with virtually no internet capabilities then yes, that's bound to happen and I certainly agree. Some fake spyware browser or buggy, non-working browser gets installed and they choose the option to uninstall IE8 since it's not needed anymore and tada, no more internet. So they damn well better have windows update still function and always have a very visible option to reinstall IE8!
You'll never get an even cleaning. All small rodents like that are genetically programmed to use the same paths over and over to get from point A to point B once it's proven safe. That's why setting snare traps in the wild works to catch rabbits and mice and stuff. They always use the same path once they've been on it a few times and found no snake lairs or anything dangerous on it. Even domesticated ones do the same thing in your house most of the time so you'd probably get like 30% coverage tops.
and out of our inboxes! Can't forget that one. I mean everyone's thinking meth labs but do we really want the recipe and process out there for some prescriptions so people can make them in their basement and try and sell em online with the same stupid tactics we see today? I don't think the FDA would approve Billy Bob's Basement Joint Care Medicine - "made with open source information"
I bet they'll have this perfected in 2 years. Good thing Obama went all liberal early and decided to speak out totally pro-embryonic stem cell research. It's not like he didn't know this sort of thing was being developed for the last few years. So what's the big problem here? He burnt up so many political points saying "yay, let's chop up human babies!" and all the conservatives modded him down as flamebait lol. He could have just remained on the fence or refused to comment about the issue until it was no longer and issue instead of forcing himself to appear even more liberal to all of America.
