If a problem with the internet connection actually freezes someone's computer, whoever had a hand in creating the operating system is a complete idiot.
Hey, the spec never said that problems with an internet connection wouldn't make a computer freeze. And it was faster to code it like that. Works As Designed.
Since most (all?) compilers and interpreters ignore the Hungarian prefix, there's no way of knowing that iFoo is really an integer. This is particularly true of weakly typed languages that are popular in a lot of modern programming environments.
Actually, in weakly typed languages, the only way to know what type Foo is (when writing code, not reflexivly at run time) is that is called iFoo. Why is it guaranteed to be an integer? Cause that's the rule, and if you break it, your code is wrong... whether it compiles/produces runtime errors or not. Weakly-typed languages are when you need System Hungarian.
The rest of the time, use Apps Hungarian. Oh, that's a vector that represents a position in 2D space. Nice. Which coordinate system? Screen? Parent Window? Application? The IDE doesn't help you there.
Also, the machine will not be connected to the internet.
That's hardly a concession. It means all the data will be pre-indexed in some machine readbale way, instead of parsed out of wikipedia. It still has nigh-unlimited storage for data. Make it fair, give it and the humans internet access.
It's irresponsible to insert chaos into a country and disavow any responsibility for the consequences. The worst mistake Bush made was he tried to force the Iraqis to self-govern from day one, as opposed to writing their constitution for them, with an amendment process they could use after 5/10 years.
I mean, it took the US more than one constitution to get it right. Slavery was phased in as a legitamite exercise of federal power over 70 years, and even them almost shattered the country.
Bottom line is forcing someone to go through that hell, when you can prevent it, is just wrong.
So you're going to set your filter to read every email for obfuscated links going to.pillz domains? The spam will, in all likelihood, show up as the same bogus "Canadian Pharmacy" spam that we've all seen hundreds of times, but the obfuscated link will in some way point to a.pillz domain instead of the usual "superhappyfunpoodlegoblin.cn" domain.
No, I'm going to consider any mail with a link to any site other than a.com,.net,.org,.edu or.us spam.
The potential for evil in the Google has only been questioned for a year or so
Maybe by you. Feel free to look at my comment history, some of us have been doing it for years. I've even mentioned in some of my earlier posts that Microsoft used to be beloved by geeks before it was recognized by evil, and how avant garde I was being in establishing my hate for (or probably more accurately fear of) Google early on.
f anything, this may actually HELP companies who have competitors buying their trademarked names as keyboards on Google AdWords. It offers reputation to the original company, and they can stake out a claim by promoting it.
They already have protection for their reputation in trademark law. Trademark law, just like copyright, needs to stop having Google and non-Google versions.
Anyone who is afraid of their competition is only afraid because their competition is doing something better, cheaper or faster.
What crap. ADM motto: The competition is our friend, the customer is our enemy.
So who decides, the patient or family, or BIG government?
Neither, the HMO. Look, I understand large bureacracies are bad. But it has yet to be demonstrated that a government buearocrat is worse than a private sector one. Try to get customer service at a utility company for instance. And private companies have an order of magnitude higher administration costs (20% on average) to Medicare (2%)
But the alternative to universal health care isn't a free market. It's a privately run HMO-based bureacracy (choose from a member of the oligopoly!). And universal health care doesn't preclude private treatement any more than Social Security precludes private 401ks/IRAs. And, like Social Security, it provides a safety net when your retirement fund/private insurance provider goes belly up.
I bought a pink notebook yesterday, and am going to the Harley dealership and DMV tomorrow. Expensive, sure. But how can you put a price off enacting a crazy/. idea.
The two-gig little 7 inch ones? Are they in good shape? Interested in selling one? I'm not above using a lime-green laptop, and my current one is far too manly (power cord and brick held together with electrican's tape, etc.)
Hmmmm. That might explain why the father at my old Catholic High School (Marian Central) bought a new Trans Am 455HO. Of course, back then, I just thought that he wanted to have a good time.
What if I believe in evolution, with "Hey, time to get longer wings, specific bird" and a "I'm tired of dinosaurs, meteor time" with a little bit of playing favorites via lucky/unlucky circumstances? That is, not deterministic since the big bang, but withouth burying misleading skeletons?
DIVINE EVOLUTION should not have allowed it to break, since its a beneficial gene to have!... they all got plenty from Bananans and berries and such! In fact, maybe their kidneys were happy about [the broken C gene].
Obviously it's not benefical, I like bananas. Also, why would a divine evolution require perfection, especially as understandable by you? For someone who mocks others for "putting absolute faith in this persons godlike infallibility [to imagine all possible outcomes]" this seems particlarly hypocritical.
Religion can no more imped science, then science can imped religion. MAybe if more people like you understood this fact, and stopped picking fights, idiots would stop trying to overcompensate by attacking science.
When one makes a distinction between so-called microevolution and macroevolution, then there's a hint that one has been absorbing far too much ID woo.
Well, there seems to be a difference between coloration patterns producing an advantage causing moths to become blacker over generations, and the creation of a truebreeding species. Regardless of whether they are different expressions of the same pheonomenon, having different words makes sense.
Think of the difference between the constant g (9.8m/s^2) and the constant G (6.67e-11 m^3/(kg * s^2)). Both refer to the same phenomenon (gravity) but at different scales.
Order of the animals: The first creation of animals happened before the creation of man. After man was created, an instance of each animal was created. Some of the supposed reasons were to make him see that he needed a woman helpmate or to assign names to the animals.
Order of the people created: This is simply a scale issue. The first part of Genesis sums up a week, with day by day highlights. The next part sums up just the sixth day.
it has a specific meaning and purpose which is separate from what the actual words in the phrase would lead you to think (gee, I wonder why) and by calling what I have to assume is a combination of belief in God and acknowledgment of evolution "a variant of ID" you are doing yourself a disservice and might give people the wrong impression.
Maybe I've not delved deeply enought, but doesn't ID merely state that things besides natural selection and random mutation drove past macro-evolution? If so, it's not hard to see being able to believe in that combination, while recognizing that the non-natural selection/random mutation aspect is a matter of faith.
Also, ID clearly is the progeny of creationism. I fail to understand how anyone who believes that a divine being guided evolution isn't derived from creationism as well as science, or why that origin would be negative.
Also, there's something noble about trying to reclaim a word misused by zealots; not all liberals are communists.
Chrome was the only browser in the contest that was not successfully exploited... why didn't they include Opera
For the same reason high school sports teams don't play NFL teams; it just would be disheartening to the players.
My guess is that Opera never really got the attention because it never had a big company pushing it (MS, Apple, Google, and Firefox had the whole Mozilla/FOSS thing).
There is no reason to think that there was any sexual motivation for this search in the least.
Having said that, according to workplace law, sexual harassment is defined to have occurred regardless of the events that transpired.
And most schools current sexual harrasment policies. Most schools zero-tolerence sexual harrasment polices. I'm a firm believer that "what's good for the goose is good for the gander." Hence, the officals have violated school policy at the least and should get a lifelong ban from working with children. Unfortuantely, due to my high UID, I never got my free law license with registration, so I defer commenting on criminal charges.
The school district does not contest that [the victim] had no disciplinary record, but says that is irrelevant. "Her assertion should not be misread to infer that she never broke school rules," the district said of [the victim] in a brief, "only that she was never caught."
Is anyone else scared by this quote? Apparently, the schools expect that students should be compelled to spend the majority of their time in a place where they have to check all of their civil rights at the door. We should not consider a student innocent, even if they have a clear record
Well, it's probably true, but I say that it is irrelevant: "[The offical's] assertion should not be misread to infer that school rules should be followed, or that not following them is not a legal right granted by the courts that idiot administrators refuse to recognize."
for instance, had the drugs in question been crack rocks, there would be no question)
Right. They still would have had no standing to strip search. If it was crack, they could call the cops instead. But then, given what evidence they had, the cops probably couldn't have searched the girl either.
Do you think it's a good idea to put automatic weapons in the hands of someone who believes it's their God-given duty to send doctors performing abortions right to Hell as part of the world's salvation?
It's a true/false test. Yes, someone is religious. You assume that makes them a nutjob Imagine phrasing it a different way, with a different assumption:
Do you think it's a good idea to put automatic weapons in the hands of someone who believes their gang affiliation is the best and rival gangs deserve to die? (Minorities.)
Do you think it's a good idea to put automatic weapons in the hands of someone whose hormones regularly go out of whack and cause them to want to hurt people around them? (Women.)
Do you think it's a good idea to put automatic weapons in the hands of someone whose political alliance is with our foreign enemies? (Immigrents.)
Now, obviously, if any of the extreme cases are true, you don't want to give them weapons. But to assume that they are based on prejudice... well that's so wrong it's illegal.

Opera gets 100% on your acid test (in fact, the first browser to hit either benchmark). It also gets 100% on the Acid3 benchmark. So, why compromise?
Actually, in weakly typed languages, the only way to know what type Foo is (when writing code, not reflexivly at run time) is that is called iFoo. Why is it guaranteed to be an integer?

Well, the Constitution doesn't protect people who are not US citizens and in different countries...
Well, as a devloper of Windows software, my Windows development machine lets me get things done. Other examples off the top of my head for Windows:
