If you are talking about the green address line, then that is more often than not truncated in some way. The only (simple, non-technical) way to get the address is to click the link, let the page load and copy the url from the address bar.
Because it doesn't. I don't have anything I can milk indefinitely so the incentive to me to create new works appear to be higher because i would then be able to milk my product for the rest of my life. For someone who already owns something they can milk indefinitely the incentive is still there because even rich people want to get richer.
Logically, by making the reward massive (infinite copyright), the incentive also becomes massive.
Get used to it. It is exactly the same kind of campaign/. ran the six months before (and two years after, too) the iPhone came out. They are getting paid to feature articles about Apple products. It is the only way to explain why there have been hundreds of iPhone articles and about one (1) about N900 which is a phone that kicks iPhone's butt in every possible way. With free software to boot. I guess it keeps the bills payed.
Yes but how does it translate from knowing that a mouse drag was performed to exactly which characters are selected? AFAIK, it is very hard in Javascript to tell what character corresponds to which mouse coordinates. Whatever Tynt's solution is, it must be something pretty cool.
Yes, that is true. Historically only 40% of all males were able to produce offspring while over 80% of all females were. Since 60% of all males were evolutionary losers but only 20% of females ofcourse that produces different survival strategies for the genders.
I propose that every time anyone goes to the doctor/hospital, they have to sign a consent form acknowledging that their treatment was developed using animals.
Then everytime an American swears their Pledge of Alliancee then he should also acknowledge that his homeland was created on the backs of a genocide of 12 million Indians? Should he sign a consent form each time he wants to buy a property/stolen Indian land?
The illogical point is that the GP would rather beg the corporations ("accept your moral responsibility") than the socialist thing which is to form unions and force better working conditions. But as long as that idea is to socialist, the US will be deservingly stuck with the shittiest jobs in the Western World.
Why does it always have to revolve around bombs when it comes to terrorists? Bombs are cliché. If I'd wanted to create maximum havoc, I'd become a stewardess at a major airliner. Then I'd put a few drops of dimethylmercury in each can of coffee served during the flight. Months later hundreds of people would die in severe mercury poisonings before anyone ever found out. If I played my cards right, I could escape unscathed and run the same trick at a coffee shop. 9/11 is nothing to the killings a clever madman could accomplish if he put his mind to it.
Subsets are easy. You just pick whatever subsets suits you and forget about the hard parts. Come back when you have a real compiler that implements all the facets and wrinkles of the C89 spec in 64k ram, then we talk.
That's exactly the kind of spoiled middle-class attitude that is so disgusting. You actually believe that your cause is as important as free speech and free religion. Get some fucking perspective. That you are not able to smoke pot legally is at most an inconvenience, there are other, legal, ways to get wasted and you know it. It's petty beyond disbelief. If you asshats had any sense you would withdraw from the contest and admit that you are not a charity but a fucking lobbying organisation. Fucking idiots.
I would like for the spokesperson of the weed pushing organisation to come forward and explicitly state that their plight is greater than the Red Cross', Doctors without Borders or Amnesty International. I want them to come forward and expose their own petty greediness by competing for money that could go to a just cause and instead give it to drug propagandaists. Then I want all of them and their spoiled middle-class ilk dumped in Somalia along with a few tonnes of marijuana. Then they'll see what need is really about. Fuckers.
Laws that would force software producers to run proper QA testing is a stupid idea. If you deal with software, you learn after a while that "working software" is a sliding scale. It is unrealistic to expect any modern software to be completely bug free, similar to how you had to accept a small number of dead pixels on cheap LCD screens. On the other hand, many modern phones are released with OS:es that crash during calls (*cough* iphone *cough*) which I think is totally unacceptable.
They are seen as more Linuxfriendly because they have released the specifications for their 3d chipsets which Nvidia hasn't. Unfortunately, and contrary to what slashdot-commenters believed, that hasn't lead to someone creating high quality free drivers for ATI cards.
The reason why payment is important for IT people is because your pay is proportional to how interesting your job is. Academia excepted. If you are only paid $8/hour, expect to keep doing $8/hour tasks. Like brewing coffee, boring testing work and stuff like that. On the other hand if you were paid $80/hour, you wouldn't have to do any of that because your time would be way to expensive to be wasted on such menial tasks.
Read the article, see how they performed the study:
... examined scores from seven million students who took statewide mathematics tests from grades two through 11 in 10 states between 2005 and 2007.
Which implies that they only sampled data from US students, which is frankly laughable when you want to make cross-culture statements about innate gender differences. American girls may very well be stupid because they were raised that way. A better study, in which data from all over the world was used is here:
Mertz and Hyde looked for evidence of this imbalance—more boys than girls at the extremes of math ability—in international data, too. Again, they found that in some countries as many girls as boys score above the 99th percentile, and in others more girls than boys are extreme math dunces or math geniuses. In both cases, countries with as many or more girls at the upper extreme tend to be those with the greatest gender equality, such as Germany and the Netherlands. If the greater male variability in math performance that Summers cited as an explanation for the low numbers of women among math geniuses is not ubiquitous across the world, then “the occurrence of greater male variability and scarcity of top-scoring females in many, but not all countries.. . must be largely due to changeable sociocultural factors,”
You know, that is pure speculation. There is absolutely no evidence that the election was rigged. Ahaminejad is very popular and has previously won election with big margins. There is no evidence that the Iranians are "realizing how bad they have been" and are changing their minds en masse. There is no evidence of a great uprising taking place inside Iran. Yes, thousands of students protested in Teheran a few months ago, which is great, but millions of people on the country-side didn't.
But obviously, spreading the idea of an Iranian revolt is beneficial to someone. Ask yourself this: Who benefits if most of the world believes that the Iranian regime is hated by its own people?
Which is not entirely unlike some "revisionists" who finally can admit that, yes, some people died in the Holocaust camps. But it was for natural causes, like fever, pneumonia and typhus. It had absolutely nothing to do with man-made Zyklon B, carbon monoxide or gun shots.

I had no idea, thanks for telling me.

Nobody gives a shit. Learn to read moron.
For typical modern hard disk and CPU speeds, it takes about a single whole core to encrypt/decrypt the data at full bandwidth.
Ehh.. Say what? What "full bandwidth" what "single whole core"? You make no sense.

They don't provide hardware accelerated 3D graphics last time I checked, which is a fairly major flaw if you ask me.
Wish I had mod points. So I could mod you down both for being offtopic fuckers.

Indeed, but in this case Wikipedia has basically the same info.

How does it feel to be retarded?
