Youtube has a policy against hate speech - as is their right.
"Hate speech is, outside the law, any communication which disparages a person or a group on the basis of some characteristic such as race or sexual orientation."
Hey, look at that, the girls comments are totally qualified as hate speech! It doesn't matter if she was repeating something her parents said, or reading it out of a 500 year old book put together by a bunch of old farts. She posted a video that included hate speech, her video got taken down. See that? It's the system - working.
Now, did some of the responses include believable death threats or hate speech? Then those should have also gone down. Did you report them?
tldr: Youtube can remove your videos that are full of hate speech, irregardless of where that speech came from.
Actually, you do dig yourself out of a deep hole, because clawing at the sides simply makes it worse. You've clearly never been trapped in a deep hole - though to be fair, that might be for the better.
Actually, it depends on the countries that are extraditing. Usually you DO need to file charges for a formal extradition, and often the crime has to be of a sufficiently serious nature - you can't extradite someone for running a stop sign.
This does seem like a ploy given the nature of the charges. That being said, the end goal is not obvious. If I were the sort who was angry at Assange (I'm not, but, just saying), I would assassinate him, not try to run him through a judicial process (because quite frankly, no charges are going to stick). It might be easier to assassinate him in Sweden, or the UK may have just decided they don't want to play a part in any such underhanded dealings. Either way, I would be fighting extradition to Sweden whole heartily in this case because something is amiss.
I'm banning you from using the word absurd. You don't understand what it means (you seem to be confusing it with the word "silly") and you use it wrongly too often.
What universe do you live in? Have you walked into a church lately? What about a US Public School? Google "Teaching the debate over evolution" to see what I mean.
"Well this year sales are down 17.1% for the top 400 publishing houses over last year"
Um, that's just plain wrong. The Association of American Publishers even says so right here. In fact, even just print books alone have been doing quite well, and ebooks have significantly added to that.
The newspaper market has NOT gotten smaller. It's actually stayed very steady (please see here). Yes, the ad avenues have dropped as advertising mostly goes to the online and television mediums - is that a surprise? Newspapers make their revenue in other ways, including through online subscriptions.
Book publishers can't afford to get nailed to the wall. A few more pushes and we lose the industry. They are shrinking rapidly and having a tough time staying afloat
Is this actually surprising? This is sort of how it works. Publishers fail to adapt to a new market, they fall under the bus and get pulled apart. Adapt or die.
This doesn't mean there won't be publishers in the future. It means there will be new publishers who understand the new market.
That being said, I haven't seen a lot of proof of publishers having any trouble, beyond a lot of them saying "We need more money! Give us your money!". Even the smaller publishers have been hanging around just fine as far as I can tell. If anything hurt them, it was Borders going out of business and leaving behind a lot of debt.
I'm sure there's at least a few helicopter bodies out there that are more modern then a cobra. They may not be as complete, and they may be harder to put together, but I am almost positive they exist.
Also realize that a lot of helicopter models tend to be "descended" from earlier ones. You don't need an entire new copter if you have most of one of it's predecessors.
I'm curious what their ability is as far as mass production. I'm also curious why they are producing a 40 year old variant instead of targeting a newer one - I suppose it's a lower barrier to entry and probably a lot easier to get pieces for...
I find it interesting that they didn't release any specific armament specs. This may suggest they don't have any arms plants with sufficient production.
Some people, myself included, can switch "work mode" on and off effectively. It's also at times useful to be able to pick at problems, especially stubborn ones.
Obviously, your mileage will vary. Working from home isn't for everyone - some people concentrate better at work, some people can't stop working if they work from home, so on, but for some, it's quite advantageous.
You have absolutely no idea what he's been asked to do. Maybe his friends have asked him to make a beer dispenser with an integrated touchscreen, or a slick temperature controller for a freezer.
I think you're biased towards being a bit dumb.
Currently, touch screens are a bit pricey, and can be a bit messy to work with. Though it's less awesome, a serial lcd backpack with a few buttons can be had for 20$ or less. That being said, some of the off brand chumby clones might work well for getting a touch screen if you don't mind some disassembly and some light hacking.
Ok, but you've clearly not following the conversation. Read the parent and try again.
Parent argued that the person in question should "Stop whining" and that they chose to have crappy service.
Yes, we understand the person in question may not have many choices, but they should at least complain to the choices they do have and make their displeasure known. They shouldn't just "live with it" as the parent suggests.
Of course, this is/., so reading a conversation and commenting intelligently as opposed to writing down your first thought and trying to cram it down the gullets of everyone else is a rarity.
It is their right to petition service providers to give them better service. It is most assuredly their right, and perhaps even their duty, to use their money to speak for them in this matter. Welcome to capitalism, please learn how it works or shut up and die.
I've used Team Pass (site here) for a few months now. It works well enough. It's at least as secure as an excel sheet. It is however web based, so make sure to lock it down appropriately...
You're a good man for being willing to do that, but if you're in the US, you may be in violation of the DMCA. Educational publishers can, and will, get extremely pissed off at such things in my experience.
Your core point here is fair enough, and I agree with it, but there are a lot of factors you aren't considering.
Notebooks tend to have much more power, are much easier to work with, and have CD/DVD drives.
Netbooks don't.
Now, I loved my netbook for years, but most educational software is still disc based, and a lot of educational software is a bit bloated and requires a bit of horsepower. When you look at math and graphing tools, the need for power is even more important.
Also, most major computer companies are more familiar with, and more likely to, sell 5000 notebooks then 5000 netbooks simply because they're used to large orders of notebooks for enterprise clients. Enterprise clients don't use netbooks. If you're an educational entity bulk buying computers, you're likely to get a steeper discount on notebooks then netbooks (since netbooks have a pretty low profit margin as is), and you may find notebooks to actually be cheaper per unit - plus, much more customizable then netbooks.
Yeah, you should instead be focused on working! If you're a working class family with a lot of kids, you have no right to entertainment or relaxation! You're not a real person, you're just a cog in our capitalist society!
Seriously, where did you grow up? Did they not teach you that all people deserve some ease and pleasure in life? Yes, if you're independently wealthy, that may be a lot more ease and pleasure, and if you're a working family with a lot of kids, a fair bit less.
However, XBox and similar provide relatively cheap forms of entertainment. There are cheaper of course (books spring to mind), but for pretty decent entertainment XBoxes are pretty cheap.
You're missing the point. The summary clearly states that the interesting point here is that it was done with cheap 10$ laser pointers that you can buy from Amazon. Yes, this was old tech - if you were willing to shell out 15k for high end gear. The fact that it can be reproduced for a much lower price (maybe a few hundred at most by the time you get integrated units and pay for research?) and therefore more likely to see more widespread usage, is the point.
Yeah, after all, if you aren't doing it like America, you're clearing doing it wrong! How dare you have a long name, it's unpatriotic!
What exactly does "rest of the world" mean? Like America? Like the UK? Do we take a tally and run the results? What if your country uses a different calendar system?
Working in a tangential field, I've always felt one of the major choke points for doing numerical work in C or Java is the speed of development for programmers who don't strongly specialize in these languages already. While I understand this may be a niche, I'm curious (and perhaps someone can inform me) of the ease of development in Julia, as well as the speed of development. While this seems to be a main concern according to the summary, is this actually achieved, and if so, how?
Matlab and R give you a lot of power with a relatively small and simple command set. While they are both specialized to particular branches of mathematics and have less then optimal performance, they allow most anyone with mediocre programming knowledge to build sufficient programs.
It seems like the media groups would make more money (longterm) and have a better public image (which means more customers and more willing customers) if they embraced and advertised for CBC.
Of course, then again, I suppose the lawyers wouldn't make any money and it's less immediate profit. Wouldn't want to think ahead.
1. It's perl. You really don't need any IDE.
2. If you're trying to use perl on IIS, you shouldn't be using perl.
3. Well, alright, I'll agree there.

5. I'd like to place a vote for...well crap, I can't actually think of anything CPAN lacks.
