What the iPhone has that feature for like a year. I thought all iPhone features were lame while all android features were superior. I guess it is just a different set of priorities.
besides there are a LOT of other things my taxes go to that I really don't want to pay for. Sending people into space is just a good idea. as it improves our knowledge on how to do so. So if were survive long enough and need to escape earth we can and possible settle someone else.
If we don't wast time and money on humans in space the knowledge will go away. Just think if we were to go to the moon again we need to rethink everything again because we havn't been there in 40 years. And we have forgotten how to.
O.K. It look like some one needs to stop reading the liberal media for a while. The post was so out of context that it wasn't at all useful. Chill man. You don't need to rant about problems in our food system just because some one uttered the word food.
Sigh... Can't we ever have a slashdot story involving evolution with out bringing up creationism debates. Either as a lame old joke or a more serious commentary? You guys are so fixated on this debate and you only put more fuel to the fire to the creationist vocal minority.
Yes yes we know intelligent design isn't science. Most religious people understand that first few chapters were in mediphore and written to make it a good story.
And there is a vocal group of people who are just as obsessed and are trying to block it's teaching.
Well free market will sort it out... But not any time soon (I am thinking Generations)... There is still a lot of "Free space" for companies to get their own turf, build an infrastructure and protect. However Once the market gets saturated it will start competing again... However it may not happen in our lifetime. Free Markets will work but not as fast as we may want them to do.
I don't think the actual content leaked is a big deal. Sure we know that Civilians are getting killed and all putting numbers kinda hinders our Propaganda work, But the information really isn't big deal... However the fact that they have names of the people who did what how and when. Does make it hazardious to the troops. Say someone is reported to have killed some civilians (not murdered, but have killed and most likely feels really bad about it too.) now that his name is known, and his general location at the time it could leave for family/group vendettas against that particular person making that attack more likely as even if the family is non-raticalized against the army will still may be hostile towards the person. Or his platoon enters a town now they will be marked as being a possible Rouge Platoon who they shouldn't help.
The fact that the information has a higher then reported civian death rate is just egg on the face, the fact that it also reported who did it puts the toops in danger.
Or get an iPhone. Yes in theory the smug attack still exists. However it looks that much better then the Android plastic molded kiddy toys that the owner after is done using it cleans the glass just to keep the phone looking presentable.
There is a saying a bored systems administrator is a good one. However a really good one is busy improving their systems to make them run faster/better and more efficient as well implementing new features to help the company grow, and not wasting their time fixing problems that really don't need to happen.
There were a bunch of times you will see Crewmen in ST:TNG just standing there punching in on their pads, I am guessing a lot of them were doing real work on them too. However it seemed that you had to be very high rank to get a chair to sit down in in ST:TNG as everyone else was doing their work standing there. I guess by that time they have high tech shoes to prevent leg strain.
Because he is an Evil Republican. So we MUST show how stupid Republicans are. However as Biden has asked for the WebSites Number we say nothing, as Democrats are forces of Good and is wise about all things.
However I have seen stats that shown no matter who's policy it doesn't really effect which side is better for the Economy then the other. Because both sides are just as irrational you have to choose between giving everyone higher taxes or having businesses take that money from your pocket.
Pay the Feds or Pay the companies... You end up loosing more money then you should.
I would prefer to make that decision myself then have a company dictate it to me. I have an iPhone and I actually really do like it. However Flash is something I would like to have the option to choose. I am not applauding Jobs for keeping Flash off the Phone, Granted 99% of the time it isn't an issue but that 1% is annoying. HTML 5 is great and all however until IE supports it well by most of it browser share it will not be replacing Flash. And there are the DRM Reasons to stay with flash... Yes I know DRM is evil... But it is often used in the cases of DRM or No Content type of applications.
Not greed but fear. There are a lot of people who live in the same 25 mile radius all their lives. The idea of moving away from this area and from their friends family and other protective sources makes them scared. Why did Europeans Colonize the United States Was it because they were less greedy then the others... No. There were people who were more Greedy who wanted Gold, or people who were more afraid to live in their homeland then to move.
If I were Greedy enough I would form a group of people who are just as greedy as me to move to Mars and mine for materials. Or go to a place with others of like minded to start a new civilization, free of those ideas I find scary and wrong.
I think we need to teach good consumerism. I think a big part of our financial mess we are in is that we have become horrible consumers. Yes it is easy to vilify the eViL corporations for tightening its belts and offering its customers less services for more money, all for the greedy bottom line. However it is also the case that we as consumers take and often abuse any extra free service we get. And no this consumer training isn't about being shills for companies to make more money off you. It will need to be more balanced, teaching people on how to find products that meet their needs at a reasonable price. How to avoid scams, and just following trends without doing any research into it first. But also to know when you get those extras from a company to value them and make sure it is worth their while. If they offer Free Wi-Fi make sure while you are using it that you have purchased something and if you are done get something else that you want or leave the store so someone else can come in, also if you are there don't try to bog down the traffic, use it as it was intended to be for, light browsing.
No all companies are pure evil... Yes they want to make money, but they want the customer to enjoy their service, and if they can do something a little extra then their competitor they will. However if you start abusing that little extra and it cuts into their bottom line then it will go away, and ruin it for everyone.
While karma really means nothing after you get high enough. However overrated should ave a 0 effect on karma. Why? 1. It is not meta moderated. Meaning ideas that a moderator dislikes can be modded down without any recourse or correction.
2. It is a tool to help order posts better. You have 2 posts of plus 5 but as a moderator you feel the posted 1 second later is better then the other so you overate the one down. However the poster isn't at fault if someone posts a better post then him.
3. They work on unrated posts. So they can be used to attack someones karma. So every post they do it will get modded down.
The reception problem on the iphone really isn't that big of a deal. As opposed to fan boys there are haters too. However my experience with the iPhone 4 is that it's reception is about the same as other phones in the area that use AT&T (after say a minute for the bar counting algorithm to resolve. ) and a lot of the real disappointment was a lot of people were expecting the new design to have a noticeable difference. Then you have the haters who saw this one flaw and really put it out of proportion. Yes apple put the weak spot in a bad place. However knowing about it isn't really a major issue. Better then some phones that i have used in the past where I covered the spot and I spend a lot of time trying to get my hand holding the phone right. So what did the over press do. Just give iPhone owners a free accesary.
Zero Fault is impossible. Because it is made up from a bunch of Fault based technologies. Also there will be people driving in the good old classic 2000 model cars that will allow you to box in and collide with the car.
What I really want to know is how many of the people who Got Paid for fixing a serious bug fix were the ones who made it in the first place, or were they the ones that didn't take the money for the fix (as a matter of ethical pride)
Yes but for every time there is an accident there is some failure point from a human mistake. And usually it is fixed. Opening the door to an unasafe method while safe ones are well known. Just because it is safer then before is foolish
You are going on the assumption that there will not be any mistakes, cost cutting measures, improper maintenance... Helium is good enough, and it is stable. Besides do you want to be the engineer to be responsible for the next Hindenberg disaster? Just because you figured that we have gotten so good at materials it doesn't matter... The case for the 747 is there anything they could do that will improve safety.
So you are saying emacs users are just as human as the upright vi users?
The problem is we form groups for protection. However after a while we get use to the group, and begin to conform to their ideas. Making the other groups ideas seem Alian to us. Then tensions rise until one side or the other think the only way to safe from the other side is to attack first and the other group will then fight back...
It is human nature. Give a few hundred years there could be the great Linux vs. BSD wars
As I stated before. Early movies were just because they were early movies and the fact that things moved made them popular... You try Charlie Chaplin today you will get a lot of people demanding their money back. And the westerns were just horrible in terms of story.
Forest Gump was a big effects movie, it was just the fact that their effects were done so well most people didn't notice them, shaking the presidents hand etc...
For a hundred years now most movies released are bad. They made their money by some sort of gimmick to get them in, wether be a star, or effects. We go back now and only watch the few Gems of the past where there was a good story and acting. Having the rest of the crap rot in their cans. Is 3d here to stay now or not... Who knows. Its technology has gone down enough for small theaters to start implementing them. And big names are starting to use the new technology.
It will take time for the good cinema to perfect 3d, making it in a way that you are that much more immersed in the movie then looking at the 3d. With perhaps a large pop out for the startel.
These rules are not what you do but the scale that you do it.
The Carrier Lock-in agreements are often because the carrier will subsidize the cost of your phone and if you leave early you need to pay off the rest of your phone. Also say the iPhone while a popular phone isn't doing much to stop people from choosing Android Phones. Even at AT&T. What is with Intel is it would be more like AT&T couldn't sell any Android Phones. As an AT&T Customer you can choose what type of phone you want. If you do not want a contract then you need to pay full price for a phone.

So when android takes over iPhone market. Can we be as smug about volerabilies that come up.
That and developers will be less likely to adopt a new google technology. As they will just kill it later. I am bummed that my google page is gone.
