Then youtube should also be punished because it is using lots of obnoxious ads above the fold. Even worse as they are often in flash and therefore competing with the video player itself for resources.
Even if you don't believe the Iranian story, you still got to give them credit for coming up with a pretty believable sounding explanation. That's more than the US Air Force could apparently. It doesn't sound so far fetched to me that they could have found an exploitable vulnerability in the drones navigation system. Even if they really wish it were true, Iranian engineers aren't any dumber than American ones.

Hey! Look at me! I'm a pro-Zionist bigot who can make shit up and get +5 modded without giving a single fucking source for my believable albeit completely false statements.
Do you ever in your nationalistic fervor reflect upon the fact that in the last major bout between Israel and Hamas in December 2008, 1200 Palestinians were killed and what, 2 Israelis were? All 1200 were terrorists so it doesn't matter? Why is it that for every one Israeli killed, hundreds of Palestinians die and Israel can still maintain an image of taking the high ground and being the victim?
This is mostly correct. The ORM:s developed by MS are mostly crap. First there is the Entity Framework which is a bloated overcomplicated steaming pile. Then there is Linq2sql which actually is a passable ORM - to bad they deprecated it in favor of the EF! With MS, there is just as much api churn as with the most extreme free software projects and you get none of the benefits the latter has, such as ability to see the source and hack it yourself in case the provider discontinues it. But asp.net is (mostly) not tightly integrated with any persistance provider, so you can swap it out for NHibernate which is exactly like Hibernate, except for.net. You just lose some databinding controls such as LinqDataSource and Visual Studio support.
One could also say that he is trying to appease the undecided middle of the field voters who would otherwise be swayed to cast their vote to the right. It's not like the voters to the left of Obama has much choice or would vote for a Republican over a Democrat anyway. On the other hand, those who wished for leftist policies or real change in American politics may not be persuaded to even show up to the ballot in the next election, if they hardly can spot the difference between the candidates. My bet is that the next US election will have the lowest voter turnover in a very long time which is something that always favor the Republicans. In effect, I think you're completely right.
That's just a lot of fingerpointing and maybes. What happened is that someone of them found an easily exploitable site, possibly an sql injection or a known vulnerability in an off the shelf software. They then made up a silly excuse about how it is righteous for them to hack said site and did so. Previously they have exploited a message boards softwares failure to strip html tags to post flashing images on a board for epileptics, blaming any seizures caused by said images on the webmasters failure to secure his software. Dumped customer email and usernames to a porn site because uh.. people looking at porn are bad? Hacked a Finnish government site becasue uh... Finland is ruled by a brutal military regime suppressing freedom of expression?
The article claims that drivers are hitting the brakes instead of running the red light when they notice there is a camera. Reasonably those people would adjust and slow down when approaching a red light if the probability of it being camera monitored was high enough. Having to abruptly brake is uncomfortable for the driver (which running a red light is not, unless you get caught) so it makes sense that the driver would try to avoid that situation in the future.
The whole fucking article is clickbait. Read this one instead. They are basically debating what influence depicting armed conflicts witout adherence to international law can have on what people think about warfare. It's only the retarded journalists trying to make an upsetting story of something that absolutely isn't one just to drive traffic to their sorry excuses for news sites.
That's bull. The deciding factor isn't whether they have degrees or not, it is if they come from a wealthy family that determines their likely career. Dropping out of college isn't that bad if you're well-off because you can always do something else or try again. If you study some successful businessmen one common theme among them is that they all had to go through lots of failures before they finally stroke big. If you're poor, you have only one shot at it, and if you fail the debts of it will likely be with you the rest of your life.
Well, it's better than nothing. Also remember that/. was the first site to employ it on a large scale (long before wikipedia and similar sites appeared) and proved it to roughly work. It is far from perfect though. My personal pet peeve is that long, well thought out posts aren't getting upmodded. Especially if they don't take a stance in a controversial issue but is ambivalent about it. Maybe because most moderators does not have the patience to read through long comments so they do not stick. One-liners which at first glance may sound insightful, but really are just pointing out the obvious have a much higher probability of getting upmodded.
A simple fix, which stackoverflow uses, is to order posts in reverse chronological order. That would greatly reduce the effect moderation has on the discussion and the need to type fast so that your post wont be placed to far down on the page.
Yes, the estimates seem exceedingly high. 98bn for 520 miles of high speed rail turns out to be about $117m/km. Other completed high speed rail projects of similar size have been much cheaper. Such as Madrid-Albacete €9.6m/km or $13m/km, Haikou-Sanya in China also for about $13m/km. Construction costs for TGV in France between €10m to €25m/km ($13m to $34m). $117m/km would be a reasonable estimate if the rail was to be drawn through a densely populated area and requiring lots of tunnels and so on. But it isn't, most of the area between Los Angels and San Francisco is desolate or farmland.
It's a distortion to suggest that the model doesn't work when clearly it does.
It sort of works (see all the issues mentoined already) -- that doesn't mean that it can't be improved upon, nor that this partiuclar idea is a bad one.
It sort of does not work. All the greybeards tool stop working, or require arcane workarounds, as soon as you have a single fucking whitespace in the filename. The only reason why people does not find it excruciatingly annoying to write shell scripts is because such issues are ignored and only show up in subtle bugs years down the road when the original programmers already left.
I guess that happens if you have no experience with Nvidia's and ATI's horrible kernel drivers. Or those winmodem drivers that could make a Linux users day a living hell way back then.
Please mod parent down - it is a copy paste troll. While the story is mildly funny, it has already been posted about a million times to any store remotely related to cloud computing.
Sorry, but that is not the attitude of the FOSS community - just some random commentator setting up a false dilemma. He does not represent the view of "the community". Neither does I ofcourse, but I think it is awesome that Adobe will finally open source Flex.
Their market is everyone that is using drugs and you can't reduce it by 80% just by waving a magic wand. You're hoping, without anything to back you up, that drugs will be significantly cheaper once they are being legalized.
Come on, that's fucking obvious objections. Do you really think those researchers are so bloody stupid that they haven't already thought of all that? Maybe they should just hire you as their personal advisor so you can tell them about all the whatcouldpossiblygowrong scenarios they otherwise would not think of?
That's what Zynga is counting on. Of the people who are asked to give back their shares, maybe say 5% have the legal recourse and saved capital to go through legal action. But most of them won't because they don't have the resources for it. So, 5% will get what they were promised, maybe even more in statuatory damages, but 95% of them wont so it so it will still be a huge net win for Zynga.
Uhm.. Unless your last name is Bush or Cheney, I doubt those who fought in the Iraq War was doing it on your behalf. I don't think being stupid enough to participate in a war aiding wealthy oil imperialists is anything you should deserve preferential treatment for or even be proud of.
Anyone mind extrapolating on what VMware's demerits may be? I've only used their virtualization products on a desktop and they work lovely. Full Linux support (both as the host and the client) and very easy management tools. Getting a vm up and running from an.iso file of Windows was just a few minutes of point and clicking in a well made gtk gui. In my experience, it is a very good and user friendly product.
That's a great test and I'm one of the dudes that also would ace it. But when you run such a test, and this is very important, make the test actually matter! If someone completes the test with flying scores, you can not reject him because you dont like his style, he doesn't have a manly handshake or is socially awkward. Because that is very unfair if you have your applicants waste hours with a skill test and then return to them that they aren't a "good fit" for the company which you could have figured out after talking to them for five minutes, if fitting in is the most important variable you judge applications on.

In the United States.... In the rest of the world, different rules apply which is why it is imperative to have an explicit license.
