In order for there being a conundrum, by egg must implicitly be meant a chicken egg. Now the question becomes one of defining that. Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken (chicken first) or one from which a chicken will hatch (egg first)?
Hello. I DRTFA and barely RTFS, but none the less I came up with this:
This is not that new. Behaviourists thought that people could be programmed like Pavlovs dogs, but they were wrong, generally speaking. Behaviourism (getting stars etc for good behaviour) is, however, often, a last and successful resource when it comes to autistic people. So why not have robots or computers dispersing the behavourism. You know Skinner thought machines that asked questions and gave rewards was good for kids in general (and some things, like for example all the places and shapes of countries on the map, could be taught efficiently with simple computer games). Most knowledge and learning is more fuzzy and doesn't fit into a simple computer game.
There is not much in favour of a kid growing up in a "bad" neighbourhood. Here in sweden,m there is one thing, though: Only in a "bad " neighbourhood (our"bad neighbourhoods aren't as bad as the ones in the US. No gang killings and such, yet) a kid can experience cultural diversity. "Good" neighbourhoods are packed with white uptight... "blind" people. So far, I think our "bad" neighbourhood is a better place for a human being that a "good" neighbourhood. When the human being gets to be a teenager, I'm not so sure any more. Will our economic and academic.... comparative"eliteness" keep the kid out of trouble? Anyway, as it is today, I try to shield the kid from the middle class "normality junkies" that would pack the "better" neighbourhoods...
As far as I understand it, people do a lot of networking with facebook, though. They folrm groups to come and BBQ at their place or whatever. Without facebook, when "all" your real life friends are on there, they might forget to invite you to some parties and whatnot. They have my phone number and email. It's not that they don't want me at their parties, right?
Are you gonna have the "which-is-more-freedom-the-right-to-be-free-but-without-the-right-to-enslave-or-the-right-to-be-free-including-the-right-to-enslave-debate now?
I'll join, but I'll just skip it and jump to the end and state that I like the one without slavery better.:)
It's not the hardware, it's the GNU/Linux software. And just because it doesn't succeed doesn't mean it isn't the best available from the perspectives of people who'd like a GNU/Linux computer in their pocket.
I'm not going to argue with you, because you're right.
I'd just like to point out that marketshare isn't awesomeness.
In the marketplace, fartapps and other apps are the thing nowadays, sure, but come on, the N900 is basically a debian computer in your pocket that can also (often) make phonecalls.
Sadly, awesomeness doesn't equal marketshare either, of course.
I hope the (soon to become) MeeGo line will be relevant. I want linux on my phone and I mean close to a desktop GNU/Linux distribution, not like Android that might as well have some other kernel for all I care (almost). Android isn't Linux in the overloaded sense we sloppy humans have come use the name.
So, I tried to mod you down overrated, but I'll cancel that and tell you instead:
The Simpsons is mass produced (albeit pretty good, none the less) funny pop thing for the masses. Futurama is not-as-mass-produced-but-(hence-greater) pop thing for a little bit more... intelligent/geeky/exclusive/elitist audience.
I like both, but I also think especially the Simpsons don't really say that much, they cover their bases, so to speak. Come to think of it, the simpsons is a bit like wikipedia, while futurama is a bit less like wikipedia. The simpsons is a bit more mainstream and NPOV, while futurama is a bit less of that.
Anyway, on the whole, both are on the disruptive side of (american) culture, aren't they? Or are they "gatekeepers" that define how critical is ok?
I was quoting the stand-up comedian Bill Hicks making fun of people who think the earth is not as old as scientists claim. Here's part of a transcript leading up to that quote:
"Fundamentalist Christianity - fascinating. These people actually believe that the bi.., er, the world is 12 thousand years old. Swear to God. What the..? Based on what? I asked them. "Well we looked at all the people in the Bible and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages - 12 thousand years." Well how fucking scientific, okay. I didn't know that you'd gone to so much trouble. That's good. You believe the world's 12 thousand years old? "That's right." Okay I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready? "uh huh." Dinosaurs."
There's plenty of funny (and/or offensive) Bill Hicks clips on youtube.
>That's like saying "I was shouting my password at the top of my lungs on the streetcorner and someone overheard me and wrote it down!"
If I happen on said streetcorner with my netbook turned on, connecting to any open network, will my netbook automatically store that data or would I have to install any additional software? If this is automatic out of the box for a computer, your analogy is correct, if not, it's not perfect.
I know I wouldn't have to install any additional software for my ears or even tell them to start hearing.
Over here in Sweden, 3rd party unlocking of phones is legal. (or at least has been, haven't seen much advertising for that lately, come to think of it.)
You could pay the equivalent of $50 or something to some bozo with a computer and a cable to crack the operator lock.
Obviously, if you signed a contract with monthly fees for a number of months, you'd still have to pay those, but there were some marketing stunt where you could get a locked phone without monthly fees virtually for free. You could then unlock it and sell with a nice profit.
That kind of deals obviously don't come often. Maybe there was just the one.
Yes, I guess taxes are high, but then health care is as good as free and studying at the university is free and I'm sure there are plenty of other nice things taxes help buy us.
If you want to experience the wonders of (limited) socialism, you might want to visit soon, since the gap between the haves and the have-nots is widening. Free market is pretty much the norm in peoples minds in Sweden too and we are selling out our commons.
It's not like you look from the side while playing a handheld for fucks sake. It's a one-person experience, and simply relaxing your hands naturally will give you the right position.
But, instinctively, I'm sure as hell going to want to look at it from the side, if it looks like it is 3D. It should come with a couple of IR LEDs to be attached to the forehead, so that position and angle of the head could be taken into account when drawing the game world.

Or both.

(apologies for maybe being totally off topic)
Good point. Notice the word "half".

How is the leanings of the leadership of a country off topic in a discussion about their policies?

>and that is because as soon as Apple does something different the competitors tend to copycat.
I thought this was a story about Google doing something differently than apple.
HS: "Lingo, dead!"
L: "Lingo *is* dead."
>They're leading the way because they have no interest in protecting intellectual property.
Also, perhaps, because they have a "commie" at the helm?
You could also duct tape a few cameras together and use a computer to stich the different images together to get higher resolution...

To answer your joke seriously: No. Opening up of the little guys info, so that the big bad guys can exploit it, wouldn't be appropriate, I think.
Beautiful. Now I wish I hadn't all ready commented, so I could mod you up.

"God put those there to test our faith."
No-one is holding a gun to their heads, forcing them to spend all that money. :)
