I really wasn't trying to insert abortion into the conversation. Except for the fact it another deeply polarizing issue about safety vs liberty. And the debates about it go on shooting stereotypes and other stuff, instead of actually looking at the issue at hand. I am actually quite happy you figured my comment was suppose to be about pro-choice, because I am actually pro-life, but I try hard to understand why good people choose pro-choice. But I didn't want to bring the abortion debate into the post but express similarities in the two debates, about Safety vs. Liberty. Where the political spectrum splits these core ideas.
The arguments the the Right use for Gun Control is the same the Left does for Pro-Choice.
These debates is what gets people really riled up and stand behind their politician... However they are too polarized to get anything done on either side. Other than pissing off the other 50% That is why they talk big during the elections then often do little afterwards. Sometimes the most passionate speeches will be about blocking the bill so it doesn't pass.
We are wasting too much resources on this and should focus on better topic.
The problem is there are two sides of stupid who feel if they meet on a middle ground they are loosing something.
The gun control debate and the abortion debate are in essence part of a core debate. Is life and safety more important than liberity.
Both issues have seemed to become so polarized that logical debate has broken down.
There are thing like the parent post who say "I disagree with your views, so you must have a mental problem" but the problem it is on both sides. We are no longer considering the humanity of both sides.
Gun right advocates don't want this because if it becomes popular it could be law and reduce their rights to own gun as well fear tracking gun owners, which could slide down the scale even further. Liberity is more important thansafety.
Similar debate on abortion, small laws such as the doctor should have admitting privileges at an hosipital, means there could be less dr. Who can perform anortions make it harder for a woman to choose. Liberity over safety.
The core debate is too abstract for most people. So they link up with their political parties and regurgitate what they say, thinking they are so smart and informed.
Being Religious or Atheist doesn't make you a better person. Being a better person makes you a better person. I could see an "evangelical" Atheist president, really making lives difficult for religious folks, just as much as the "evangelical" Religious president makes life difficult for non-religious folks.
The unrest in terms in the name of religion, is only because they figure that will be the best way to get the masses behind them. No Religion they will find something else to go under, political party, ideology, location... People will find ways to be bad to each other no matter what.
That and Dogs are not really visual animals like Humans are.
Sure the dog can see what is on TV but he really doesn't care that much, unless it makes a noise that he finds interesting. My Dog responds to the barking of Real Dogs (Not Synthesized ones) and to the sound of the Door Bell. However other than that he has no interests. If the TV gave off smells, the dog may be more interested. However I wouldn't like a TV that gives off smells my Dog likes.
While I agree it is the contractors fault. However when you deal with a contractor you better be sure your contract has him to do what they say they will do. The contractor will probably do more what is in the contract however if failure to not do more that is in the contract could have a negative effect it should be protected. Such as delete your drives beforehand, or make sure the contract has him do this work, and perhaps a measure stating he will do what he says he does.
Simple, there are a bunch of ministries, departments, and divisions and other units all with a degree of autonomy, their own budgets, and other stuff.
When you ask nearly any government employee of where do they work. They will not say I work for the Government. They will say I work in the Department of whatever... So if you fine a government agency the money leaves their budget and goes away from their department and to an other area. Leaving that department with less money budgeted towards what they need to do. As well it would effect their influence of getting additional funding for the next year.
Most of these games are online. Where you are battling person against person where twitch speed is important. The AI in most games are slowed down so the game is playable. So you should assume the other players are not using $1,000 keyboards either. That have the same legnenthicy. Then you add up your PC processing the networking to the games server, it's processing, and sending data back. Your keyboard is the least of your issues.
Those points loss could be because *GASP* the other guy is better than you, or just got lucky.
OMG!! I disagree with a person on some points. HE MUST BE EVIL!!!!
On the topic of Climate Change, this guy is Stupid and Misguided, but I don't see an evil intent, they may be one. However what does that have to do about getting a datacenter?
Ok here is the lowdown! Everyone has their good and bad parts about them. It is not productive to ignore and not work with people just because of their bad points. It is productive to work with these people because of their good points.
If you fully agree with everything the Republican or Democratic party says, then you are most likely a mindless shill who really should get out of politics because you are too stupid. You will tend to use most of your mental skills, trying to justify any inconsistencies in ideologies. Most likely you are not running for office, and you do not have anything at stake for not being Conservative or Liberal enough.
If you are going to protest google, protest the policy/ideology/action that google does that you do not like. Not the fact they worked with a politician that you wouldn't vote for, because they liked something unrelated to the policy you're fighting against.
Unless you are actually opposed to a Datacenter in Oklahoma.
I mean AIDs and HIV is suppose to be a curse from God for living a sinful lifestyle.
If we are starting to use this for good things, does that mean we have a Loving God who doesn't hate random groups of people. This could shake things up.
What really needs is to fix the Competitive grading structure of schools. You need a 3.0 or better to get into grad schools, the person with the Highest GPA get all the extra honors that looks good when looking for a job.
I went to a University that had a rather diverse set of majors, Almost all of the Valedictorians were Art Majors... Why because they didn't need to take too many of the tough courses that would kill a GPA. It is nearly unheard of an Engineering Major to be in the High 3 GPA. Because the classes were that much harder.
And with Math, Science and Engineering (Especially with Undergrad studies) your answers are either right or they are wrong, sure you may get partial credit for showing your thought process and get a few points off for missing a step, but still grading is very mechanical. The Arts and Humanities there is a lot of touchy feely stuff towards grading, and it is easier for students to fudge the system. Know what the professor likes and cater to it, even if you disagree with them. When I took history my professor was big in Womens History, so when I wrote my paper on early computers I made sure it had a good womans history slant to it, and I got a really good grade on it. Because I focused more on Ada Lovelace and less on Charles Babbage. You can't cater your answer for the Math professor as much to his taste. There is the correct answer or not. So if you are going to that discipline don't expect a stellar GPA especially if you are actually going to be learning stuff in college.
Yes the catholic church hasn't change one bit since the dark ages. I expect you are probably of European descent so you must be still trying to kill those other guys of European descent.
Distance between you and the display is usually around 50cm at that distance people tend not to see these pixels as blocky combined with Anti-Aliasing so it isn't that big of a deal. The problem is most Desktop OS's don't offer good zoom in and out controls.
The Mainframe isn't dead, however it isn't as widely used as it once was. They are still new Mainframes being made, and any true Computer Scientist would drool to get their hands on one. But that being said, they are not selling as many as they use to, most companies are going to PC based servers, because they are cheaper, and more software flexibility, and you are not as stuck with one company for support, and a large group of developers who can handle the platform.
Now the PC, are tablets going replace them? No, but they will bring the PC down to a few manufacturers. I expect Lenovo, Dell, Apple to survive in the desktop area, as they (Apple to the lesser extent) have a good hold in the business markets. However PC's would probably be more like Workstations reserved for more computer intensive work such as Software Development, CAD, Finance... But for other people tablets, with say keyboards could replace the rest of the people.
Well the trick is to come up with some sort of standard API, to Print 3d.
Back in the DOS days, when you needed to print more than just text, every program had a list of printers to choose from, I had a Panasonic Dot Matrix which was Epson Compatible so I chose Epson Printers. If I had one of those new fangled Laser Printers that use PCL or PostScript some of my apps wouldn't print.
Now with windows as the OS you choose your printer and install, or select the driver to use. Than when you tell your program to print the stuff, it will use Windows API and say Hey this is what I want to print, than it take it and translates it to the format that the printer can handle PostScript, PCL5/PCL6, or some crazy binary format if you have drivers for it. Then it will connect to the printer and send the commands for it.
Now the standard Printing API is designed for 2d. While for some 3d printers you can translate the page break into a go up level, but not all 3d Printers work the same, so you will want an API that takes a 3d diagram then send that to the drivers to figure out how to do it. So you can take many 3d applications and print 3d stuff from it without needing your app to be particular to the 3d printer you are using.
Although Windows 8 is mostly a consumer Operating System, however Windows 8 could be used as a work station OS for Cad systems in businesses too, so it would make sense for 3d tech to be added to it, for businesses and enthusiasts.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes they do.
If you are running, or exerting more energy you will exhale more often than other people who may not be exerting the energy.
Not every person has the same C02 per action. Some people are more efficient and others are less.

His calling could have been as Transportation Minister, more than leader.
But does the Global Warming Threat is more dangerous than an energy shortage, or economic disaster?
Like Stalin?

Did you have sound up? I bet is more interesting in the sound of the barking.
That and Dogs are not really visual animals like Humans are.

So the Nobel Peace Prize = "I HATE AMERICA" Prize.

Evil is rather subjective term.
My favorite definition of evil is using all the good steps to accomplish a short sighted goal.
Others have doing thing with a malicious intent.
But most don't cover I Disagree with someone, so they must be evil.
Ok here is the lowdown!

Thats not Communism, That is socialism. There is a difference.
