Also how much it makes sense. If you are already a technical person, if the advice makes sense then it probably is good, if not then it is probably BS.
For example: Don't use IE use Firefox because Firefox is more secure because it is Open Source. Is bad advice because being Open Source doesn't make it secure by magic.
Don't use IE use Firefox because Firefox is more secure because it will get updated regularly with fixes, because it is supported by a large community of developers who are interested in keeping it secure, IE gets a longer interval between updates. This is better advice because it makes sense.
We can explain things without getting overly technical. But you can't assume just because the person isn't technical that they are an idiot either.
Don't forget the US has a low population density. (And telling people to move to the City will only lead to a shotgun pointed at your head.)
We had a good run with the Dial-up ISP market. Because we worked over the Telephone line infrastructure that already existed. However to get the speeds we demand we need to go via Cable that is controlled by one company per area, or fiber which is owned by a particular company and isn't widely setup yet.
Part of the problem as you stated there is too much cost to spread past populated areas. The other issue is companies who build the infrastructure are afraid that we will take it away from them much like we did with the telephone lines. Why invest in a long term plan where you see pressures out there from people who wants to take it away from you.
The best we can hope to do is Rent infrastructure from the companies. However that means you will probably need to charge more for your service then the infrastructure companies are.
The only way we can accomplish this as I see is via Wireless which has its own legal issues.
In short it is easier to make a Cell phone app and put it on a store and make money as it is for you to make an ISP.
However the atheist argument is if you just think a little more carefully then you would become an atheist. However that argument is flawed because it is the same argument that any particular religion uses too, or any particular political stance.
Just because you thought about it and made what you consider a rational decision, doesn't mean other people with equal or greater thinking skills will not come up with the same conclusions especially on these complex topics.
Now that being said. Cultural influences will tend to hide people with a particular view point into a social closet, just as people who were Gay 50 years ago, would never consider being open about it. Or someone who lives in a community that is raciest would support cross racial marriages.
The same thing holds for religion. If you are blocked off from other people who have that same idea, you can be a closet Athiest, or a closet Muslam or a closet Catholic. Because your community rejects people with these view points. What the internet has done is create sub cultures where you can feel like the majority, and you have people who support your beliefs. Thus empowering you to get out of whatever social sigma closet you are in.
We always have had people who were atheists however that view is persecuted. So most people will just suck it up and go to church for an hour and do what society expects.
I don't see the internet lowering peoples religious tenancies. But allowing people to be more honest about what their tenancies are.
I am not an atheist, I have heard your arguments, and spent time thinking and considering them, but I found that I personally do not believe in a multi-verse without a God. Now I know other people with the same data can make a different conclusion. And who knows They could be right. However I stand by my beliefs after careful consideration of them.
The part about current Atheism, that I find scary, isn't about the actual non belief in a god, but the hate towards religions, and finding the same amount of zeal/anger and the feeling that they MUST convert people at any cost that any religious has. Because you feel free to show you beliefs you are showing all the same trappings of a religion, however your arguments that you often use is that these trappings in religion is what is causing all the problems.
With using a smaller population and using stored embryos, we could simulate genetic diversity for the duration of the trip. So the next question is how big an adult crew you will need to keep the genetic population if you have some setup as a backup.
COBOL code still works. However people don't want to use it in a terminal/terminal emulator. They want it on a Web Page, or at least via GUI screens. Being that these screens now have a resolution of at least 1024x768 (Usually much higher) vs 640x200 displayed in text of 80x25 people will want to see more data per screen, charts and graphs next to their data. We use to have positions called Data Entry and Computer Operators. Who's job was just to punch in data from one system to the next and people who use the software, who are trained not to cause it to crash. Today we get data from many feeds, and the system needs to be crash proof. Your New Device has a new set of User Inputs and Outputs that the OS needs to handle. Multi-Touch screens, Multible displays, Cameras, motion sensors, GPS... which could offer an advantage if implemented.
We look back at the old computers and we go wow how cool were they, they seem to do the same job as today's computers did but with 1/100th the performance. But what has changed is the software had gradually did more work, that you use to do by hand. Plus they are a heck a lot more reliable then they were 20+ years ago.
The problem is people get outraged over everything that doesn't fit their image of their world.
When people think Mozilla, they think Open Source and a bunch of Liberal Personalities who will align all things that we think is Liberal. So when we find a guy who has a conservative bone in his body, we get all outraged over it.
Conservative groups have similar problems too. A religious charity had to back track on allowing Married Gays from volunteering. Because the conservative groups were just so angry about this conservative group they support to have a more progressive idea in their plan.
The thing is, if you take the script away on what is conservative and liberal. You will find that most people are often a mixture of Conservative and Liberal. And often what really makes them identify with one particular camp is only a small subset of issues that very important to them, the rest they are willing to flipflop to say in the group.
They could... However just as long as they can find alternate food in enough quantity to pass on to the next generation, why risk it.
Normally stripped animals usually poisonous. Its aversion to stripes means to avoid from biting anything poisonous.
Now if the fly didn't have other food sources, I expect every once in a while a fly will try to bite a Zebra and make it, and if food was limited, that fly could have an advantage.
Well technically almost all editing are some sort of lies. Often gives the impression that something is faster, points to a particular clue that you wouldn't normally notice, The person is more or less attractive...
The main thing, is that real life is rather boring, and uninteresting. You watch any particular person, you will get board. But if you edit out the boring bits you get to the point faster.
Lets say you watch your Congress in action. Now Fox News will edit it so the Republicans will look like strong articulate leaders, and the Democrats will be stumbling on their own words. MSNBC may do it the other way around. If you have it fully unedited you will be watching hours of boring jabbering
B5 was meant to be like a soap opera with long story arch. But I think the stories in the first season were just too serious. The few that I liked is when there was an assassin out to kill G'Kar, which actually gave us a glimpse of the real G'Kar and not just B&W villain they made him in the first season. And the episode where they went to Babylon 4. Mostly because I like Zath'ras
Display lag would be my major consern. The rear view backup camera you are driving slowly so a bit of a lag of a fraction of a second isn't that big of a deal. While driving at 60mph say there is 1/10 of a second delay. Then add your response time many additional feet of distance would effect your judgement.
These TV devices seems likes a fairly odd market. We have game consoles with Apps that do all these things. or you can hook up an old PC that you have around. On the other end you got the Chromecast which is very cheap for your streaming from your PC. This middle ground I don't think really fits a lot of peoples needs, Either Pay more and get more out of your purchase, such as gaming, and perhaps a Blu-Ray player. Or pay a lot less and get something good enough.
Babylon 5, really got the shorter end of the stick, I am just happy that they were able to complete the series. Unlike Crusades. But With Star Trek:Deep Space 9 with a similar concept and close story line going on at the same time, it really saturated the market. DS9 also had the advantage of having a familiar universe so we didn't need as many slow episodes at the start trying to explain the players involved. For example: The Narn vs Centari conflict, Membari Religion, Human Membari War, Psi Corp... These created a lot of slow episodes in season 1, then when I watch them off iTunes I will tend to skip, but they were important to introduce the universe to the viewers. However this turned a lot of people off (Including myself, who didn't get interested until the end of season 4 started, and I re-watched the reruns) While DS9 started slowly too, it wasn't as slow as B5.
So B5 never really got the Love it deserved. So WB doesn't see it as a good profit franchises and probably won't do too much to keep it going. Like paramount does with Star Trek, which IMO has been milked to death, and is kept going.
I guess you are too young to remember downloading DOOM on at 2400bps modem. That took about 2 hours... And that is all you could do with your PC. Unless you had an expensive OS/Shell like OS2 or Desqview. And still your modem was fully occupied.
I still have to run Silverlight apps It just isn't in Metro mode in Windows 8, and those people who got a Zune can still use it. There are still updates too.
If we are in a tech bubble, I don't see it as bad as it was in the 1990's. Today's bubble is focused mostly on Consumer Technology, the 1990's bubble was on Business and Consumer Technology.
For one: Todays tech workers are no treated like Gods like the 1990's. The idea of paying 6 figure salaries for someone to use front page to make a static website. And bringing the Techies to the C table. We have been knocked down a few pegs. As best we are considered Professional Services, at worst we are considered a barely necessary expense.
Second: We are sticking to more traditional business models. Unlike lets sell all of our products at a loss, and we will make it up by doing it in volume. Free services are backed up with Advertisements, which now are very targeted (Google). Other services are either charged via a Monthly Fee subscription (Netflix), or you have to buy individual content (Apple). The 1990's were give it away for free and some investor will give us a boat load of money.
Third: Consumer Tech has consolidated to a few companies (Google, Apple, Facebook) while if one these companies fail it doesn't bring down the whole economy. The other is more then willing to pickup where the other has left off. As well failure is based on a change in demand.
Finally: No Y2K. Y2K was the biggest influence in the bubble. Comapanies and people all rushed to upgrade their systems to be first Y2K complaint. If they have to upgrade, they might as well add the newer networks and other technology as well. You don't have to get an iPad or a Smart Phone, sure a lot of people likes them, but for most places it isn't a key component to the infrastructure.
A common problem with companies that has a strong FOSS leaning, is that they come up with a lot of good ideas that will often not take off too well. And often will be discontinued shortly. Now I applaud them for trying, however it creates a catch 22 problem. If people do not feel comfortable that your service will last, they will not use it, your next idea will not be utilized because you have created a history of dropping products.
I am stating that I have no objection to Gay Marriage however... So by your logic, I must be Anti-Children because I don't think kids under 18 should get married. Or is a person against people who have severe mental retardation if they don't think they should Marry. There are some groups who thinks people shouldn't marry if they know before hand they cannot have children.
To say someone is Anti-Gay is someone who believes that these people shouldn't exist. People who are against Gay-Marriage are people who believe there should be a strict line on what Marriage should and shouldn't be, it isn't a judgement on the values of the Gay people but what they consider marriage.
I also have issues with people who are Pro-Choice calling people who are Pro-Life to be against Woman's rights. It is a case where their arguments of being for and against a particular idea are not opposites of each other but are at right angles to each other.
The transcripts is mostly to verify that you have indeed got the degree that you stated that you had, and less about nitpicking over your GPA. Sometimes they may go into detail about the classes you have taken. Did you just do the Required classes to get you Degree or did you choose to take some other classes.
Most people who have went threw college knows that there is always that professor who grades on the curve either Up or down. So the medium grade is a 2.0, and not every student takes that professor. Or the 4.0 student fills their classes with easy to ace classes.
For example my undergrad college usually has a valedictorian from the School of Art or the School of Music, and rarely from the School of Engineering. Just because the grading is very different.
Did he use his own money or did he use use the companies money for this? Does his personal views and how he chooses to spend his money in this way seem to conflict with managing the Mozilla Foundation? Is their any evidence that he as a CEO tried to make Gay Customers/Employees/Contributors feel unwelcome in this institution.
As far as we know he just doesn't like the idea of Gay Marriage, that is a far cry from being a radical anti-gay advocate.
We have this silly notion just because someone doesn't 100% allign with the party, that some how they are 100% against it.
Having worked with bosses, and been part of the hiring process... Those big college names mean very little. Perhaps an equivalent of 2 more years of experience. So we got Person A with 4 years experience and a State Degree and we got a Person with 2 years experience and a Ivy League Degree, then we will have a crap shoot. Just because of the difficulty of getting in the school means that this person has a good track record of working hard. But that is about it. However the real value of a good education isn't getting the job, but keeping and advancing in the job. If you know your stuff then you will advance, if you just an arrogant prick unless you truly mastered the art of BS and Networking (not common with people with just a CS degree) then you will probably stay at your position while others work up.
The MIT or Harvard, for a degree in Computer Science doesn't offer you superior education, it just looks nice on your resume. This is all fine and good to try to get a job first job. However after time less and less is dependent on where you got your degree from, just that you got a degree. Now we have some employers who get impressed by the fancy name, but those balance out by the ones who get turned off by it. Because they often create pretentious workers who think they know it all and are not willing to learn the real way of doing things, or listen to the experience from the guy who doesn't have such a fancy degree.
In general companies do not like their employees with a lot of debt, because they are under more stress, and stress causes more irrational behavior. Sell their car, sleep in the office, or just get snappy at customers.
A degree from a State University vs a prestigious college isn't toilet paper, especially if you are interested in going to the corporate world. Your education in a State School espectially for undergrad work is probably better then the big names. Why? They get more professors who want to teach undergrads, vs the big names where you have more professors involved in their own research projects and teaching undergrads is one of those useless chores they need to do. So you have undergrads getting better teaching, and more time understanding the content, and less time just being bullied by the professor who wants the class to fail out so he can use the rest of the semester on his research.

So the quality of a multi-million dollar system of days past, is about the same as your smartphone is.
I was comparing normal multi-use mainframes/mini computers with today's desktops for the most part.

Speaking for myself showering isn't as much as cleanliness but as a form of relaxing. Getting clean is a positive side effect.
So 8 Minutes a week would add stress to my life, just because I would need to sacrifice one of my activities that makes me feel better.
