"Problem is these things are not patentable. So a large medicinal company has to spend tons of money on trials and FDA approval"
We don't have to accept that. Plenty of things have been invented or researched for the world to use. Later the organization responsible for carrying out the experimentation and work involved is praised, gains respectability, and that helps it grow in it's own way.
The dictionary sez:
"Psychopathy is defined in psychiatry and clinical psychology as a condition characterized by lack of empathy or conscience, and poor impulse control."
I have been playing Starcrack for 6-12, sometimes 30 straight hours a day for years now. Even when considering the 2 month break every 5 months I take to quickly try to sort out everything else I got going on in my life (computer science at university, a job here or there, and not losing contact with friends and other aspects of my social life I have riding in the back seat for the majority of the year), my unique experience is nothing to sneer at. I'm the whitest, pastiest, computer nerd stereotype you can think of. Even if I don't look like it, I'm also a pro con-man and actor.
When doing other things, I do sometimes make a conscious effort and think how I can use this starc playing into something beneficial for what I am doing.
It would be interesting for me to document everything I learned having invested this chunk of my life to. Do I multitask better than you at talking on the phone while programming? Can I also be working a math proof in the back of my head while planning dinner and next week's vacation? I don't know if I have enough overlords for all that.
Spawn more overlords! Our base is under attack!
What I do know is, from all the games I've played, and I think I have played many over the years, and Starcraft is a deel, analytical game you can really spent a lot of your time analysing a lot of aspects of. It keeps your attention when you're playing at a high level, you can't help it but focus. As fast as my fingers are moving on the keyboard when I'm playing it, what goes on in my head is what's actually keeping me occupied.
Contrary to what you believe, schools all over the world taught programming since the 60's for sure; even with no formal training at a school, programming is something that can be self-taught.
What makes programming appealing, in that very act of programming you're solving logical problems one after the other. So there goes that second point.
Thank you for those numbers. Would be interesting to find out how many more nukes were reported missing from 1980 onwards, especially towards and after the end of the Cold War.
One thing that makes this story important is that somebody authorized the transport of those nukes. That doesn't happen by accident as is reported.
After clicking on the article link and watching the video, isn't it completely obvious to everybody, that this CEO kid simply recited a script, and the only aspect of this "child educational software" was the line "command and conquer"?
Isn't it completely obvious, that the only thing this organization even has any idea about, is money?
After clicking on the article, isn't it just transparent, that this is nothing more than sensationalist tripe?
Dear Slashdot with all due respect, what the fuck?
"how many professionals like working with their software in the office as much as gaming after hours?"
Don't we play games precisely to have an escape from our jobs, in the first place?
How is social security a ridiculous failure, exactly?
In an effort to privatize social security, there is a propaganda campaign to make people think public social security is a major failure in of privatization.
USA pulls out of all the countries we're militarily involved in. Ship our and Israel's nukes into the Sun. Say we're sorry everyone. Pay reparations to Iraq, Guatemala, etc. Say we're very very sorry.
People and coorporations would simply comply to the complaint, on the grounds that doing so would be less of a burden on profits, than not complying to each and every complaint some London based company, for example will present them with.
"The first bill would provide cash incentives to schools to run AP math and science classes, and cash scholarships to students who did well on AP math and science exams. The second bill provides salary bumps for any teachers with degrees in math or science, or who score well in teacher-certification tests in math, chemistry and physics. Is such differentiated pay the right way to attract science graduates who can make much more in industry?"
It's unpredictable. What we the American people demand is that no division of classes or other problems ragarding to salary not interfere with the education of our free-thinking, future leaders of our nation, our students. Let's teach our children about the finer, beautiful things in life.
As far as education goes, money should not be the decider of how an institution functions. Where there is money, there is greed, where there is greed, corruptin, when there's that, power and abuse.
The power is with we, the People, and that's That.
Hi, I'm new to/., and had the incorrect formatting option in the settings enabled. Upon realizing my mistake I immediately went on to correct it, by setting it to "Extrans", but/. wouldn't let me do it so soon. And I went to sleep.
I truly appreciate you having read it resregard of that.
I'm gonna disagree with this here
"Still, you attempt to make a good point, but failed to see mine. All I said is that a physical state doesn't need belief to be true. When it's both true and known to enough constituency to inconvenience enough policy makers, something will be done that's better than the useless gestures like the Kyoto Protocol and market-based permits."
And say that in a Democracy, which is what America always has been, right? And that's what we promote in the world right? In a Democracy, it's up to not the Policy Makers, it's up to the Public. It's the public who has the power of what goes on in their community and it's effects on the world.

"This stupid competition we've got with " China, " is going to be the ruin of the ecology, among other things."
There fore, do you discourage competition only when it doesn't meet your agenda, or always?
I'll suffice it to say that I disagree with much of the remainder of your post.
I'm in agreement with you, and I add to this,
cameras to watch over everybody will only instill more fear and more desperation. As more contraversy is unearthed with this technologies help, the more the people will be afraid, and they will become completely desperate, and they will take desperate measures.
Now tell me, who are the terrorists, and what do they do?
Google is making deals with companies in an effort to own the videos users are uploading. This commercialization of the internet industry will act to reduce the quality of content manufactured, and develop an environment that discourages creativity and of course, thought of any kind, itself.
For example of privitization look at public turned corporate schools. Look at the effort been made in universities, to become more dependant institutions.
What one contrives of a God, religion, or other association, is an entity he himself constructed.
God is I, and You are God. Something like that.
On to something more concrete in your post here,
I wanted to comment on several of your examples,
"the 'scripture' of environmentalism has hard science to back it up. There's really no need to believe in it; the pressures caused by environmental effect such as global warming will be felt and dealt with."
There is zero need to believe in some solution which can concluded upon simply by the use of rational thought. The implications associated with something like a major hurricane practically bulldozering over a leading US cultural city are immense. The measures taken to do anything at all has been miniscule. So there goes that example.
There are others, but this is an important enough one.

I rarely click on page 2 in multi-page articles. It's an annoying business model.

I think that's not the entire picure. It's worth asking why ads are an increasingly prevelant issue to us.
Why this was modded 5, I don't know. But it's worth replying to, because this argument is so dominant in the ads dominating us.
the words coming out of your mum's mouth are recognized by software and are stored some place.

By "the Air Force", who are you referring to, the ones authorized to make the decisions, or the people below them making it happen?
What good aspects, exactly? The company the employee worked for didn't want to get sued, so they provided him with health care.
It's frustrating sometimes to interact with someone who's so blind.

Noam Chomsky is almost too correct when he writes about these issues.

And we have world peace, yay.
We must show our support for Microsoft!
