Not really. There're plenty of things we don't understand to be deterministic. At least not yet. (E.g. the collapse of wave functions.) That's not to say they are deterministic, but don't go jumping to conclusions.
Poor school districts are statistically the most needy. It's one solution to America's education problem, maybe not the best or the most effective, but we need to do something and soon.
Making it easy for people is the first step. After that, I'm sure a lot of other people would be happy to donate to ad campaigns for Tor or other encrypted network technologies (I know I would). Currently, it's hard to even find trusted peers for most people who even understand how to set it up.
He didn't say experienced - he said incompetent. And the sad thing is McCain is no more competent than Hillary or Obama. The sad thing is they're all incompetent boobs and at the time America needs a Great leader most: a mimic of Bush (4 more years! 4 more years!), a candidate who supports video game censorship and is hardly able to claim to be Liberal, and a naif smooth talker who keeps dubious, racist company as his spiritual advisors.
Let's hope America can survive this one and get things in shape for the next round in 4 years. FUCK IT PISSES ME OFF!
Yeah, that always freaked my mom out. Even after I showed her how it worked, she refused to do it and would instead go to System > Eject for fear of deleting her media!
Extremely unintuitive, but pretty useful nonetheless:)
A really long time. Mac has always been ahead of the game with drag and drop, it really got rolling with system 7.5 (1994 - damn, ~15 years ago now). Around that time you could start dragging almost anything anywhere and have it do something (possibly) useful. The nice thing about mac clipboard data is that it is abstracted a lot so you basically have a cluster of data/metadata such as URL, image, text, etc. Controls receive the drop event and can deal with the clipboard data in an abstract way (like create a file of the image in its native format, play an audio clip, whatever).
While we're still a long way off, the way we interact with computers, especially in the area of communications, is changing drastically. Nerds may not be the people who are going to use all the revolutionary social networking/communication apps that will be coming out, but we will be the ones writing them, designing them, creating them. And I bet you, a lot of nerds will be using them too.
Mods, come on. That was a classic troll! I thought maybe I would be forgiven for trolling a spammer, but at least mod me correctly. Here's a hint: this comment is "Off Topic" and to a lesser extent "Redundant." (Who isn't tired of people bitching about mods?)
My scope's not wrong, dude. The situation in the West is really nothing like what happened in Germany. We have overzealous law enforcement, to put it extremely lightly. Nonetheless, the government is not rounding up political dissidents to murder.
That doesn't mean that the US will start mass murdering people anytime soon Exactly. So don't compare the situation now to the Holocaust or Germany up to and through WWII. It's an overly hyperbolic metaphor that does a disservice to the memories of people who were utterly repressed, hated, and murdered.
Somehow comparing the Holocaust to the current situation in America seems wholly demeaning to the Jews and others that were murdered in Nazi Germany. And it doesn't particularly well describe the gravity of our problems in America.
When that kind of thinking is so obviously wrong, it's not really a debate anymore. Sure if you are in a debate, use good arguments. Otherwise, no one cares about straw men in casual conversation.

Vanilla Ice also predicted this. Vanilla Ice: spiritual leader and prophet.
That is awesome; what a great idea. Please be sure to keep us posted on what it is you all actually end up doing with all that fibre.
As for a name I dunno. Why not something simple and Vermonty like "Red Clover Rural?"

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Fuck I am in a weird mood today.
That link is definitely not safe for work.
Please elaborate.
I may be wrong, but if the case is dismissed, no precedent is set, right?
You are confusing.
Fucking elitist prick.
Now that's funny!
Geez... 14 comments and the vid's already slow as molasses dripping from December scrotae.
So with all binary logic. Thanks for pointing out that Goedel's Theorem deals with this...
Not everything has to be a rational decision. In fact, that sounds very boring.
i.e. fake it till you make it :D
So yeah, call BS. But don't fight BS with BS.
