You have to be trolling. 3D TVs and iPhones might be overpriced, but they do what they claim they can do. That's a world away from snake oil, memory water and magic crystals.
I agree completely. It's entirely a matter of time. Food, Inc completely missed the point on this one too (before everyone chimes in with that documentary). It's not cheaper to eat out than it is to eat at home, it's just a matter of time and ability. My wife can cook a nutritious meal for us and our son with less than $5 pretty easily, but it takes her about an hour and a lot of equipment. It also takes a lot of skill that others might not have.
I don't know what the solution is completely, but it seems like classes like those they do for child seats would be useful. In my area they have classes where anyone can go and learn how to properly use their car seats. Childhood eating habits are at least that important. They also hand out coupons for cheap car seats for under privileged families their, they could do the same with kitchen implements.
I'm wondering if the problem isn't that we need to make kids exercise more, but that kids will exercise the same amount no matter what you do. We have many studies showing that we can't make kids exercise more, but we keep trying. It seems insane to me.
Instead of trying to control something that studies show is uncontrollable, we should control what we can. I would think we should make the exercise they do at school and at home as fun as possible so it's a positive experience in their minds and then teach them to eat healthy. Since eating appears to be the only part of the calorie equation we can control, this is the only way to fight childhood obesity. Linking exercise with positive things in their minds encourages them to continue exercising throughout their life.
No, it's more like a technician's trying to install your cable and you're screaming about them trying to rape your wife. It's not nearly as invasive as you're saying, and if you don't want it you can just choose to not use their service.
nobody else has the backbone needed to stand up to them and say, "No, you are not going to take control of my computer in exchange for entertaining me for a few hours."
I do. But that raises the question of why you think they're taking over your computer. Flash doesn't take control of your computer (unless you're talking about memory/cpu footprint), it just encrypts the channel. Once you're done with the entertainment it's gone. This isn't palladium we're talking about, it's simply a way to encrypt information.
Who's your alternative? The UN is toothless, any other single country is either too small or too corrupt. There are problems with the US, god knows, but it's still the best option among the major world players that I can see.
The EU as a whole might be able to do it, but that depends a lot on how well the countries are able to work together to be effective. So far it hasn't been terrible, but as they're going through an existential crisis right now we might want to hold off on giving them control over the internet.
I don't know how well OpenLDAP handled replication
That's half of the point of NoSQL, or at least Mongo. The point is to have very large data sets that can be accessed quickly and reliably (but not necessarily consistently). Mongo does that in two ways: by simplifying the data store significantly and by providing fast and easy replication and sharding. It's usually as simple as designating which group the server belongs to and then letting mongo take care of the rest.
This sort of tech is all precursor to auto drive cars.
Not it's not. Auto driving cars would need to be able to coexist with normal cars and normal infrastructure before they could be widely used, so something like this is distinctly not a precursor.
In addition, if the cars couldn't drive in normal traffic themselves, then someone would be able to hack the signal and tell every car approaching the intersection that they don't have to stop. Unless the car is still able to see the status of the light and the status of the cross traffic, this is too dangerous to use on the roads.
In other words, auto driving cars need to surpass humans in driving skill in every major area before they can actually be used on roads. Something like what's being proposed here is a useful addition to self driving cars, but certainly not a precursor.
No it's not. He didn't stumble on the access, he chained exploits, went through employee accounts, and ran arbitrary code. It's not a giant hole behind the casino door, it's picking a few locks, rifling through an employee's desk, breaking a few locks, and then telling the security guards they should be grateful. There were holes in facebook's security, and that's their own damn fault, but he pulled off some pretty serious attacks against one of the biggest players on the internet.
There are no words to describe how stupid this kid is. Anyone with half a brain who's followed the news for longer than 2 weeks knows that you don't hack first and communicate later.
Mostly it's that they're treated like crap. Ridiculous hours, usually getting laid off at the end of the project, ever shifting expectations, etc. What you've described is a job where you've bought into the vision, where the job is fulfilling and the work is good. You run the shop you work in, whereas they go in to do something they think they'll love and get raped for it.
Do you still use non-privacy browsing? Because if they're able to take your private session and correlate it with a non-private one (for instance, by ip address) then they will almost certainly do so. I'd be surprised if apple allowed people to get the UDID in the browser.
I think that's the shortest path to a bad judgement! (I'll wait for you to stop laughing)
So, what you seem to be saying is that, at the drop of a hat, you expect someone to be able to approach a problem area they may never have dealt with an duplicate the solution of a Turing award winner who also happens to be one of the most influential computer scientists to have lived? Seems reasonable.
For college taught engineers, this test makes some sense because they probably were taught it in college. For self taught engineers, it's entirely unreasonable to think that they'll be able to do this.
Mod parent up. I've been in software development for 5 years now and Dijkstra's algorithm has never come up even once. I learned it in college, I know it, but claiming it's any sort of litmus test or secret handshake is just wrong.
I think that bitching about used games is ridiculous, but this point does have to be acknowledged. If you buy a mercedes that's 2 years old, it is qualitatively less valuable because of wear and tear. If you buy a game that's 2 years old, unless it's damaged beyond repair, it'll have roughly the same quality as a new disc. The bits don't change.
Now, that said, the used game market influences the new game market in poorly understood ways. The influence may be positive or it may be negative, but until there are solid numbers to support one or the other anything they do is just a shot in the dark. Personally, I think the used game market helps the industry overall because it lowers the barrier of entry for people who buy new games and those who buy used. But without numbers, I'm just as clueless as they are.
No, politicians let them have too much influence, and we let them get away with it. Businesses acting badly is, well, bad, but the government helping them should be intolerable. And yet here we are.

Yes, because everyone knows that having more cycles is the way to win the processor war. That's why the pentium 4 was so dominant.
Does eating vegan tend to increase your costs?

That just means that the rest of us content owners will now have to review it.

So, we don't need regulation, but who does the unnecessary regulation is vitally important?
Even then, fewer people are going to walk away from the American portion of the internet than the Swiss part of the internet.
Why is size a requirement in this case
Leverage. If someone tells Switzerland to fuck off, who cares?

This makes me wonder if there's any sort of morphine software I could be developing...
It compiles and passes all the unit tests, so it should ;)

My kid drinks water all that time. I drank water as a kid all the time. Accepting "they won't drink it" as an excuse is just bad parenting.
Only in Europe and National.

I'm totally going to steal that. It's a great way to illustrate the relative cost of the screening.
