This must be news on Slashdot. If it was for a predominant democrat. it would be less newsworthy. As probably just some crazy propaganda from Fox News.
If Mosquitoes genetics are anything like humans... I would think it would be more logical to Genetically alter them so after they mate their are only male offspring who are healthy and live long. While the female dies off early or not at all. So they are themselves genetically viable mates for the duration. However the group that passes that is harmful to humans die off quicker.
We normally can differentiate 8 colors easily on an RGB Screen Red Yellow Green Cyan Blue Magenta Black White
With a background color we are limited to 7 graph points. I would have recommended after they first looked at the data they saw that they were in 3 distinct bands High, Medium, and Low. Then seporated the graphs in those bands. using the more primary colors.
Yes BluRay is superior... However streaming is good enough for most cases. As a lot of us wants to watch a movie and not count the pours on the main characters skin. So the value of BluRay over a lower bandwidth connection isn't much of an issue. Once people get an average of 100mbs for their network then we may seen BluRay quality streaming media. But by then there will be something else that will top that.
So if Microsoft and Oracle got attacked we would all be laughing at them and making fun of their poor security. But if SourceForge got attack it is nothing but sympathy. Umm I want to know as an OpenSource Software user... How they were able to break in where was the hole. Should we be worried about our software as well.
Wiki-Leaks seemed to be a bit one sided. Leaking information that fits with their agenda, and keeping out other information. Big Old, Mean Old United States and Europe is so horrible... However in many cases the "Victims" got what they deserved. Or a concession was made for a greater good,
If they spend so much time one getting the weight down for better fuel efficiency how much will it get hindered with people and stuff in the car. Morbidly Obese people could be 400 or 500 lbs and still be able to actually drive the car. You get two in there and you actually double the cars weight... How much will it cut fuel effiency with extra weight. Heck 4 men at 250 lbs would more the double its weight.
Yes I know what you mean. I spent 30 minutes or so on a game trying to figure out what is there 1 yellow pixel in the brown pixels. It had to be something a piece of gold, perhaps a ring. When you are 50 pixels tall. It could be almost anything useful.
Sure place no blame on the average public. Even after a lot of media coverage about the housing market being in a bubble and could pop. A lot of the average person was putting their own money into this as a way to get rich quick. The banks and the other rich were trying to meet demand. As they were many other sources that would have put them out of business if they didn't try to meet the demand. The average person is just as greedy if not more then the rich. I have seen the rich warning the average person. But they didn't listen.
Do you really want a class of people telling us what is right and wrong. If not then you shouldn't blame them for not going out of their way to stopping you from doing something stupid.
Well cheaters are the scum of online gaming. They take the fun out of gaming and turn people off to it. If playing a game isn't fun then why play it? It is in Microsofts best interests to keep as many customers as possible, even good ones. But drop the cheaters as they will turn off a lot of honest people. Autistic or not if you cheat you should get kicked out.
Don't let the 500 year old fashion fool you. Most Priests, Nuns, Monks. Are well versed in todays technologies, as much as the rest of the population of their age is. In many ways these people have keener minds as they get older then the rest of the population. As religious life has many of the rigors of academic life. Keeping their minds fresh and continuously learning.
That is because you can disagree with someone and still listen to what they are saying and perhaps agree with other points. Most people will just pigeon hole a person and mark them as always right or always wrong, vs. Listening to their view and actually making a decision themselves if they agree with it or not.
Oddly enough you can extend this idea out even further and it is possible for Atheist to follow the philosophy of Christianity without any of the Dogma, and mythology around it.
I don't think Psychopathic really explains how a corporation works. Efficiency is more the key issue here. Efficiency often has a moral trade off. Why have 5 men do the work if it can be done by one robot? The robot will save money and be more efficient at the expense of giving 5 people work. If the company decided not to be efficient it would shortly fail to be competitive. Leading the general consumer population to not buy their products because it is too expensive. As the consumer (Everyone) is acting on their own self interest and trying to efficiently use their own money. If the company fails to operate there will be more people not just the 5 people without a job.
A corporation is a group of people. All your money spent will end up in the pockets of a person at some point.
Until you can find consumers who are willing to pay a lot more for products because of better working practices you will expect most companies to operate efficient as its customer base demands efficiency.
It is grammar Nazis and spelling Nazis that really turn people off on English and writting.
You argument must be flawed because it has spelling mistakes or some of the grammar is off. Type of thinking has put many smart people into avoiding academic methodology in their lives. As they are just a bunch of closed minded dipwads.
And if you are wrong and you find that Linux is just as Bad if not worse then Windows in protection... Then what... Are you going to swallow your pride. No! you will just find an other lame excuse to make you feel happy that your life is some how better then the rest because you use a different computer operating system.
This has nothing to do with Open Source. It is about using the best practices found and implementing them. The real problem with government is a lack of good metrics to measure performance. If you measure it then you know what works and what doesn't and you use what works.
But on the flip side you get a bunch of whiny pants who wants to keep the bad way of doing things and state that the metrics are not good.
This is about measuring performance in particular areas and using what works better as a best practice. Open Source is nothing like that. If you are lucky and have a good team and leadership you may get best practices implemented. Otherwise you will get all the experimental crap from the Freshman Developers who thinks their sloppy code is new and ground breaking.
Most of them on the list are political and religious personalities. I wouldn't put any of them as admirable, they are all just very personable people who wants everyone else to think they way they do. Actually with that List Bill Gates is probably the most admirable one there. He is actually trying to make a difference where everyone else just talks about it.
I say just teach them enough to pass the class. If they want to learn more feel free to show them more. But don't stress out over trying to Evangelicalize them to the Linux way, really it isn't worth it. Some of them will stick to Microsoft and make their living doing MS Coding, others will learn Linux and be interested enough to be comfortable with it, and others will really love it and ditch all things Microsoft.
Focus on teaching them enough to pass the class is the only way to go.
Being inefficient with tax payers money for a system that barely works, is not compassion. Could the money used used be put into an other program that could retrieve even more children. Like say 500,000 a year. I could buy an iPad to keep my face dry when it is raining. or I can get an umbrella for a lot less and it will do a better job.
I agree. However there are the stupid mistakes + a hard ass judge. General Rule of thumb if you are older (Age/2)+7 is the minimum age you should date for the US Culture. So if you are 22 and younger mistakes of a healthy mind can be made, causing criminal time and branding for life.

Should he also be releasing dirt from people he actually does like. There is dirt on both sides of the fence. He has his own dirt too.

I don't think it is a good idea to propose limitation just to stop bad coding practices.
For 1 the limitations rairly incourage good ones they only make them worse. Eg 254 columns with the 255th pointing to the tablename2 with more data.
Second by preventing people from doing something stupid they also prevent them from doing something ingenious.
Third there may be a good reason to do this as well.
Fourth you make it big enough so you won't need to make it bigger
Which one, he has two
Problem is it only targets the white rich kids. The other wont get attention.
Being inefficient with tax payers money for a system that barely works, is not compassion. Could the money used used be put into an other program that could retrieve even more children. Like say 500,000 a year. I could buy an iPad to keep my face dry when it is raining. or I can get an umbrella for a lot less and it will do a better job.
