The problem is groups like PETA group together way to many ideals and try to get them all enforced. If they just focused on an area they could probably get better progress done.
Lets just say Fur Coats... You could probably lot of people to support you on that. Then you say to join our group you can't eat meat then you will loose members. Then you say you can't eat milk and eggs... You loose more. Then you say you can't have pets you loose even more...
So what you end up with is a small group of people who are very like minded... The good it makes them easy to manage but in general rather ineffective overall.
This is a real problem with Open Source Software... There is some parts about creating a program that just isn't fun. When you are in a corporate environment you kinda have to go threw the drudge work to get your job done. Now for large open source projects with a good corporate backing this isn't much of an issue as say the IBM Drone will be forced to get the job done in time. However most open source projects don't have the corporate backing and is based only on the joy of the project. When fun stuff is over the project doesn't get completed.
Oddly enough the concept Is about 8 years old Granted back in them old days 10Mbs was still common, 100Mbs were still expensive to network and Gigabit networks were just starting to be put on some of the high end systems. But the idea has been around and as a possible security risk. I don't see this as a replacement for home networking but for site line of site it may be useful. but I would expect the technology real advantage would be in just hacking from analysising the lights on you 100mbs switch.
Even if it did... It wouldn't really fix anything though. Crazy Nut jobs will still find an excuse to justify their violence. People will still knock on your door trying to force you to think like them...
But what could happen are the current "God Fearing" people The people who really don't have their own moral value in place, will not have a place to turn to tell them that what they are doing is wrong. Also I am fairly sure new superstitions will pop up without the hundreds/thousands of years philosophy to help moderate it.
I thought only hardcore fanboys use MobileMe. Everyone else realized Hundred Bucks per year is a bit steep. Especially with other companies offering similar services for less or free.
I am Pro-Gun Rights myself. However I think people who are irresponsible with guns should be punished, legally. Sure they guy feels bad that his mistake caused the child to die but. For most people they will get over it and continue with life. Jail time will mean for a the period of time he will know what he did and what he did was wrong. Then when applying for a job and ask if he has any felonies he will need to describe what he did, and perhaps it will make sure that someone else remembers to treat guns with respect that they deserve. Even if you have no children or other people in your home, when you are done with your gun you Unload it, and Lock it up.
Think of it as real life frogger... You go to your nearest interstate (i90 is my choice) The 4 lanes are cars. the next 4 are alligators and logs then your spot at the top. Now if you can successfully cross the interstate you win.
The GOTO command is an old language command and it is not Basic Only almost all older languages have a form of GOTO. While it is a more true representation on what the computer is doing under the covers. As well early computers displays were quite limited (80x25/40x25) makes it quite difficult to properly indent wasting 5-7 more spots of white space. As well most of the editors were line editors with line numbers... With the technology at the time GOTO offered much better code then Procedural programming could at the time. Now it doesn't make good computer and should be avoided, as with modern displays that can clearly display hundreds of characters per screen. Tabbing and using up white space isn't an issue with programs that allow you to scroll left and right, and page editors where you can move up and down and even add new lines in the middle much easier. I remember in GWBasic having to renumber some of my programs because I put in more code which I had numbered. Ok list 10 - 20 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 PRINT "DONE"
Then having to go up and renumber and execute each line again.
A real pain
No you just go to the line and type what you need without numbering... It is a big advantage.
Apparently by making the LHC work we will cause some disaster so time travelers from an alternate future make sure it stays broken so the disaster will not happen. That or God just doesn't want to be found.
But it is protecting the software from you vs. the other way around, was my next sentence after that. I just explained what you said in more neutral language. DRM is about protecting software from the end user and making sure it is used the way the developer wants you to use it. It is not about giving access to someone else it is about stopping you from misusing the software. Now there are a tons of arguments against this but that isn't the point.
Actually it does. Using a torch is a bad example as a Carbon Nano Tube is much more like a filament then a full flame. So yes it is high heat but it is really small so the heat doesn't go out being really hot. Secondly if a Battery like device was used for this it would be inclosed and probably nicely insulated
Now what is the real problem with illegal migrant workers in the United States and how will this solve them?
Black market activities. Being a black market who sells in illegal goods they people doing this will not ask or use these ID card nor do they put them on Payroll.
Under the counter payments. Well they are getting payed under the counter to avoid taxes. Those people will not ask for the cards either.
Immigrants with criminal records. If they are still criminals they may still find a way into the country and do the Above.
I would agree. Out of all of the agreement in the list this seems like the most reasonable... And rather the main selling point of the App Store. The fact that you can download apps that will not break your iPhone, unlike PC and Even Macs or Linux you can get software once installs breaks your computer and makes it unusable. DRM is a security feature of the system. But it is protecting the software from you vs. the other way around, and we all heard the arguments for and against DRM... But the fact is Apple and its publishers decided to use it. If Apple made it too easy to break its DRM its publishers will not stay with that platform.
Yea except if you are not trying to build yourself the most expensive system around.
I was looking on the internet and seeing if I could make myself a cheap MediaPC that I can hook up to my TV. So I wanted something that was cheap but would last 4/5 years... I found it was much harder then I thought it would be. I have build my one PC in the past and now things have gotten insane...
What type of socket for your processors do you want... Then there are 3 or 4 different brands of Core 2 whatever chips some of the new chips are still called pentiums. Then you have motherboards that takes different types of RAM that you will need to go back and reprice and spec out...
I guess I have gotten old but Dagnabbt! Building your own PC were so much easer back in the old days CPU had numbers that let you know who was the better chip 286, 386, 486, Pentium (And I am still pissed off they didn't call it the 586), Pentium 2 (Now that is supposed to be the 686 or the 786 (if you count the pentium pro... But then why are you bother calling it the PENTium when you are no longer based on 5),... Then AMD came in and started really messing up the names then intel jumped in with the m series other where performance increased by Ghz stayed the same...
And now what people will do is take this technology and replace Hybrid technology and not actually be smart with it and use it with hybrid technology to get even better gains.
In many ways we are all guilty of being ignorant in one area or an other. However saying someone is stupid for not knowing how to do something or even look up how to do it is rude and unwarranted.
I have seen and met a lot of people who wouldn't know or even know to check the CPU usage on their PC however they are actually very smart and intelligent individuals. Why because they really could care less about their computer. It is an appliance for them, it does what they want them to do. It is using 100% cpu while it is charging a battery so be it, it must be part of normal operations. They have other things to worry about. We as "Computer People" do care about stuff like that so we keep an eye on things such as CPU speed. When my PC runs slow or just doesn't feel right I check the CPU Usage and what processes are running, that could be causing the trouble.
Also there is no real guarantee that HTML5 will be better then Flash, Silverlight either. Yes complain how much Flash Sucks. However we open a door for a lot of bad implementations of HTML5
In many ways the internet is like the Total Perspective Vortex gone wrong. In many ways it give people to much information then our minds can safely handle but what happened was it also allowed us a soapbox to give our response to what we learn.
So minorities can yell as loud as the majority, insane unverified half truths can get as much if not more attention then proven documents. Analysis of actions without correct context etc... It is too much for people to handle.
There was an interesting study. People were give anywhere from 3-10 numbers to remember. And go to an other room to give out those numbers. Then when they were going to the other room they were asked if they wanted Cake or a fruit salad. People who had more then 7 numbers to remember choose the cake higher then people who had less. Linking to the theory after we get to much information our rational side of our brains stop and our emotional kicks in.
Welling being on a board of Geeks there are often exceptions... In many ways Nerds and Geeks while they were kids listen to Classical Music as a way to stick it to the other kids, a way of saying SEE HOW MUCH CULTURED AND BETTER THEN YOU I AM! Sure you may enjoyed other pieces however your pride stopped you from enjoying other forms that may have been more popular, and dismissed as you got older you learned to appreciate the other forms as well.
There isn't anything wrong with todays music. Or even music of the minimalist period. However kids do not has as much of trained ear as they were adults.
Sure blasting Beethoven is fine, But you need a good ear to listen and find the jokes in a Bach piece
The point of a prison really isn't punishment per-say but a way to keep dangerous people away from the public so they don't hurt others. The Death Penalty should be only used if the person would still be a threat while they are still in prison. (which usually isn't the case even for the most horrible criminals).
Now for the United states there is this odd rule about Cruel and Unusual Punishment. However it is kinda odd, but it is often a bad detractor for new innovations in justice. Things like castration of serious sex offenders, Having to pay back people they scammed with 50% APR in installments....
I would say it would still it may be kinda tricky. There is a lot of stuff going on in the mouth other then just your lips.
For example when I say Fudge The Fu sounds is what I do with my lips and teeth dge sound I do with my tongue by moving it from the top of the inside of my teeth, and rolling it back a bit so the tip of my tongue isn't touching.
If I rolled my tough just a further back by a minute amount and kept it I would make a K sound. A lot of this movement would be block by a camera plus the toung movement wouldn't be so visible from the bottom of the tongue.

For some perspective that is about the heat that a filament in a lightbulb is at.
Well most devs would want to use their version because of pride in their work.
