  1. Re:Er, Your Statement and His Don't Quite Mix on 'Gaia' Scientist Admits Mispredicting Rate of Climate Change · · Score: 4, Informative

    No one is saying that.
    What is being said is that climate is incredibly complicated.
    What we know for sure is that we do not know. They were not a little bit off here. They were way off the mark.
    Not because they are stupid. Not because they want to lie.
    There was a TED talk on this. Where we think we can understand things that are really way too complicated for our brains to ever understand.
    Luckily he does also point out that just because we can not truly understand something does not mean we can not solve it.

    Everyone should watch this TED talk.

    I would not go so far as to say that.
    But scientists have been saying that grants tend to corrupt over many things.
    Google it. Some of it is even not about AGW.
    Money has a tendency to corrupt. Science is good. Better than most I would hazard a guess.
    But Science is not immune.

    I do not think I stated that I was good or bad at it.
    In fact I am sure I did not.
    I am pointing out that bad fucking programmers are bad fucking programmers.
    Holding their hand with slow, hand holding languages is not a good solution.
    Teaching good coding is.

    Its all the same.
    I was making the point that depending on your point of view there are the "Good Tools" and the "Shit Tools".
    But when you look into it they are all being used and they are all being used at different times and by different people both badly and well.
    Tools are tools. Craftsman are the makers.

    A pocket knife doesn't implicitly create objects or fail to cleanup if you forget to make your destructor virtual.

    C++ has very complex rules that take years to hone and understand correctly, and even then mistakes are easy to make

    I am not sure why you do not understand this but....
    Idiot programmers are idiots.
    We need good programmers. Programming IS complex. It needs to be. There is not a language that is flexible, powerful, fast and will wipe your fucking ass.
    Pointing out that your experience in forums is crap.
    What you see in C++ forums is what you are looking for. Same with Java.
    Java doesn't have obscure commands because it can not do anything obscure.
    Just because you are comfortable in Java and are clueless when it comes to C++ says nothing about the languages.
    When you start working on some real machines in environments that just get shit done you will see C, C++, Perl, Assembly and shell scripts.
    Then you will start looking around and notice PHP shit and Java and bits of shit all over.
    In all of that you will see crap coding and good coding. If you can not code well you can go play with with languages that are weak and slow but may allow your shit code to run. But when someone else looks at your code they will still see that it is in fact, Shit.

    Not having to type some ".XYZ" after you want to go to coke.com? So you just want them to type coke?
    Is that not what ICANN is doing.
    You are an AC idiot and you have no clue as to how the internet works. The whole reason the internet naming system worked as well as it did was because of the few number of ".XYZs" out there. ICANN is doing what you suggest in reality and in my opinion (Not so humble) you are both fucking idiots.

    No.
    I hate fucking Apple. Not just Apple. But I do hate fucking Apple.
    It obviously does not mean that that I can not come to the same conclusion. I in fact did. I just do not like it.
    I have the ability to despise a company and still see where they may be in the right.
    Maybe, (even though it would seem obvious from my previous post that I can and do) the reason you have a hard time thinking that it is possible is because it might not be for you.

    Someone once gave me a piece of advice many, many times.
    At the time I hated him for telling me this in the end though I understood and am a better person for it.

    I will wait to see as well.
    My gut on this is that even though I think that a specific performance of this can be copyrighted an most likely this guys stuff is close enough to actually be a problem.
    Also though .... 1983?
    It has been almost 30 fucking years!
    Copyright was supposed to be temporary to encourage more content.
    Teller is morally wrong here. If only because is litigating over copyright that is almost 30 years old. He may or may not be legally right, my thought is is is legally right.
    He is certainly morally wrong though.

    The problem is not the religion of the politicians.
    It is the people. They are ok enough with the situation to allow it.
    Same here in the US. We talk about freedom. But when the TSA feels up your wife to see if she is smuggling a bottle of perfume in her vajayjay you will just sit back and bitch about it.
    Only when people are done with in justice will it go away.
    The Afghan people I am sure for the most part do not want to see their children die like that.
    But it will not anger them enough to do anything about it.
