The idea of trying to teach fell by the way side basically at the beginning of the show intge 1960s. The older shows have more dialog with period tech talk. Sure you had the same bad guy over a course of weeks. But the shows were 1/2 hour long. Today's the story is more compresses and a little less on the story of the bad guy. In some ways that is good as the show doesn't feel like it is dragging and others I feel I am missing the story.
Ubuntu is one of the most successful attempt at a Linux (GNU/Linux not something like Android/Chrome OS which just used the Linux Kernel) based.
Ubuntu was one of the few distro's to take advantage Desktop OS gap. Windows XP from 2003 had a Lot of serious Security Issues, Apple Mac's were picking up steam, but Apple isn't for everyone. Most of the other Linux distributions were like We have GNOME/KDE installed so we are Desktop ready. However Ubuntu actually put in effort during that time to make a decent Desktop OS. This Ubuntu rise came along with the rise of Firefox. Where Windows XP had so many problems, and people wanted something new. Then Windows Longhorn took way too long to be release with Vista and it failed to impress giving more years to add converts.
Now Ubuntu failures were that they and there fans, had too much of an ego. Reported problems lead to blame the user, attitude. Funny compatibility issues, where a feature will work OK in one version then after the upgrade it will not work at all. Also they sometimes like to overhaul the whole UI.
Apple came out the Windows Gap period, as the fan favorite. Ubuntu could have gotten a bit more love if they just humbled themselves down a bit. And avoided those Scary THIS ISN'T GPL errors. As most Linux users really don't care about the GNU ideals, they just want something that works.
Your right if I were European I would be outraged. A good portion of my earned money is being wasted on expensive equipment that the child will outgrow in a couple years. Prosthetics are better spent for adults, as they can be kept longer, and they are mature enough to care for them. For kids the money should go to therapy to work around their issues. I know people with stunted hands who have flawless penmanship and are able to prefrom most tasks inspite of their disability because they have been trained at an early age. I know when we see a kid who is disabled we feel sad, but a prosthetic hand isn't the big helper people think they are.
I want to know more of the types of Soda tested. Real Sugar vs. Corn Syrup vs, Diet Soda vs. Carbonated water. How about comparing it to other Junk Foods, such as Hard Candies?
Well ExtFS for a Chrome Book is fairly niche. Normally you get the device and if you plug in an external device is probably would be formatted in FAT/32 so you can share it with nearly any device.
The issue I have with Windows 8, and OS X.10 is the fact that they are trying to make the OS into the next tablet/mobile OS.
Yes the Table/Mobile market is eating up the Desktop share. But this hybrid doesn't make things better. The need for your desktop PC/Mac is for more serious work. And we need a more serious OS for the job. The new OS needs to be less worried about grandma or the kid who wants to go online. It needs to become a serious Work Station solution. This includes better task switching, and viewing job status. Control of the performance in real time. Data retrieval and backup, and presenting the data in a clean uncluttered manner.
I try to mix both myself. Agile has issues in terms of scale. It is great for small projects, works for Medium then as you get larger it begins to fall apart. As you have way too many sprints to choose, that things just do not coincide for a long time. Causing disjointed code segments.
Waterfall is too rigid where you have do this by then. Not accounting much for unforeseen issues, means you have to redo the plan, or if you find that things can be done in a different order is difficult to represent.
I find mixing the two together tends to work well. You waterfall your sets of Scrum clusters, and each sprint has a mini waterfall attached to it.
[Buzzword] isn't niche. It is one of the core technologies for [Buzzword] which is designing application infrastructures where IT provides a platform for in-house and integrate [Buzzword] rather than providing [Buzzword] to departments. Many [Buzzword] systems are based on [Buzzward] particularly [Buzzward], [Buzzward], [Buzzward] its a big player for [Buzzward]...
This is the problem with our news delivery system. We get information in real time... However we rarely ever get quality information, and digging to get the quality information is very difficult.
So they are 2 people in the US known to be sick from this, there is a containment policy that is improving. There are 300,000,000 million people in the US. Yes it is scary, because if you get it there is a high mortality rate, and it does spread fairly easily. But it doesn't spread like the flu. And thousands of Americans die yearly from the Flu.
Cloud offers a lot of real advantages over doing it all yourself. 1. Having resources when you need it. Lets say you have some seasonal tasks that needs extra horse power (Quarterly Reports, Christmas Rush, Back To School, Exam Time...) so you can request short term extra power to keep up. Without having all this extra equipment running nearly idle for 3/4 of the year.
2. Hardware upgrade, maintenance, backups... Keeping your hardware up to date is expensive, if you are keeping your old servers you will try to keep them for 6-8 years normally as to get the most out of them. However that means your servers are getting behind the times and are at risk of breaking. As well having to pay for redundant backup servers. Managing good data backup and storage policies. While might be easy for a couple of servers for larger demand it could become a huge waste of your time. The cloud company should be doing this maintenance. They get the advantage of dealing with a larger set.
But I don't like cloud for the sake of cloud. Adobe Cloud, Office 365 and most of your software that you really just want on your PC and not pay a monthly fee for. Sure cloud backup such as Google Drive but your device has adequate power to run these apps without a huge server farm in the background.
Certification are just an excuse to get more money from people who have already paid for your product. It is an excuse to not offer proper training and documentation for your product in the first place.
For the most part we get these compatibility issues from someone trying to make something the previous system wasn't designed to do well, so they did some hacks to get it to work. When we wen't from DOS to Windows. The idea of a common drivers came into play. Before you needed to do assembly calls to support your devices.
Now the real trouble makers are the sales men who push the product as something to solve all your needs, while it was made to solve particular problems.
A small but vocal group of whiners doesn't represent our full culture. They will always be Xenophibic people, because we will always have problems and will need some one to blame. Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia have this problem too.
If you are in a majority, having a growing minority group can feel threatening to any person. If the minority is willing to change to be part of us, then we take it as a complement.
The First Amendment law is counter to what most governments wan't as it makes their job more difficult. Being that the courts make sure it is in place and active is positive. Because it is a hindrance towards easy government it is too easy to sliding scale away from it.
So you had the choose of optional Christianity vs. Mandatory Atheism. Now the U.S. weren't any saints but our culture was separated by an ocean from the war and were able keep our ideals a little more in controlled and more willing to accept different people especially in the more urban areas.
No you wrong. Some will be slaughtered when the get size, others will be saved for breeding. Granted they won't live to old age, but they live longer on average with people feeding them, protecting them from predators and illness. A properly raised animal should have only one bad day in its life.
Following societies unrealistic standards most of us too sexual for proper society. Most of us have our odd fetish and are turned on by some thing. Sure taking pics and sending them on the internet isn't that good of an idea. However it shouldn't need to represent the overall character of the person. Unless say you want to expose to your boss and the general society things like your Google Searches, or your DNS logs, magazines, or surveillance camera of you taking a second glance at the one other person.
The creator said he gets rare false positives... That meas he gets some false positives. For some of us a False Positive just as long as it is rare. For others any false positives are a big deal. So 99.99% gets blocked and people miss that 0.01% in false positives. So 100thousand email per billion emails. That means you can have 200thousand people complaining. (The Sender and receiver). Some will get legal on you. Say Gmail blocked a congressional election email from a republican runner, who is already ready to tare Liberal Google a new one, now has proof that Google is part of some grand conspiracy to Censor the Republican Party!
Animal Abuse - Sure a no brainier. Fur Coats - I can see that we don't need Fur Coats anymore as there is a big selection of cheaper and effective other sources for coats. (Fur as in they need to kill the animal) Food from babies - Veal and Lamb. Tasty but the animal is so cute I loose my appetite when I think of it that way. Food meats - Sure people are happy being vegetarian. I tried it myself my body hated me for it. (I will need to add leather although it isn't food, but a product from the animal from the processing of the rest of the food) Anything made from animal - Wool, Egg, Milk products come to mind. Now we are going to the crazy zone. These animals although are in sub-human conditions are still much better off then if they were out in the wild fending for themselves. Efforts should be towards improving their conditions not stopping their usefulness. Pets and worker animals - These are like family to us, and are treated extremely well often much better then most people who care for them live. Pets like Dogs have evolved (threw breading) to really like being around humans and helping us out. To say the dogs should be wild is actually making go against their nature.
With the "Correlation doesn't equal causation" argument doesn't mean you can just dismiss the findings.
For example. The 1-2+ years before marriage, means that the couple takes marriage seriously, and wants to be sure it is the right person not just a random fling. Having a wedding vs eloping. means that the family is supporting the wedding and less stress of being with that person that is in conflict with your family. The length of the wedding. The old wives tail that a long wedding means the couple has been coupling for a while and they are not anxious to consummate their marriage. The shorter wedding means they are much more eager. It could also just mean shorter weddings means they are much more interested in each others than trying to impress other people. Money of course creates a lot of tension. Having more of it means less overall stress in the marriage.
Greenpeace isn't about helping the environment but making them feel good. They go after high profile target, not high impact. So they get on the news and people say see how good they are.
Those extra costs that you mention them be Liberal Sissy Hippy Talk.
Not that I disagree with you, however in order to get real change you need to show the savings in dollars, not in difficult to quantify values. Deaths due to pollution vs deaths not due to pollution, hard to quantify.
When you say you save $1,000,000 a year vs. Saying a 25% mean decrease in death +/-5% margin of error.
What helped the growth of Hybrid Cars, Energy Efficient Lightings, Etc... isn't the feel good about being green, But the fact that there is a quantifiable amount of money being saved.
In general the Environmentalists have a good thing going for them, however they suck at marketing.
That would be Cold Fusion. The type of fusion where the energy goes most nearly into electricity. The problem with current fusion is the heat it creates often damages the containers of it, so it will need to be replaced all the time.
Fusion we can do that... Get it so it doesn't melt the equipment meant to collect it isn't

However there is a case where there is a vocal minority using the product for a niche use, that the product isn't designed for.

I must agree.
But they are much closer. You can get them under $10.00 now. Because of their long life, and low energy usage. That means you are saving overall.
If we could get our homes switched to DC, then we could have these without the extra electronics in them.
