Umm, you keep preparing your little tyke jd-wannabe for the
slave pits, why not? It's certainly better to rot from the inside,
right?
At least that way, precious thumb-fu master won't have any useful
organs to harvest. Good plan!
On the other hand, an ignorant (but insufficiently insouciant)
indolence is very much prized by the livestock industry. Yum!
marble more, you hobbled whore!

Perhaps the subjects were exercising some kind of
innate (as opposed to
imposed)
subconscious aversion to violence, even as their conscious
"do this task and get paid" desire was driving.
Television is passive so such an aversion is easy;
you are not physically participating in the (depicted)
violence anyway, so the brain uses the Numbing Technique.
The result is that associated imagery (advertisements) are
also blurred.
A video game is active so such an aversion is more difficult;
your brain is directing your muscles to do the (depicted) violence,
which is incompatible with Numbing. The way out then, perhaps, is
to use the LookAside Technique; averting your "active" attention,
even if not your eyes (as mentioned in the summary). The result
is that associated imagery in your peripheral vision is soaked up
and its recall improved.
In any case, this spells trouble for Ender Wiggen wannabes...
which reminds me of playing that game in Emacs the early 1990s
(the source was called atc.el, but that doesn't seem to be on the net anymore
-- kudos to anyone who can post it here, saving it from otherwise imminent obscurity),
which is neither here nor there,
but that's what bubbled up from the dregs of memory,
which is what happens when you the author encounters YA TLA in TFS,
like ATC, LSD, ATP, MCP, MCM, etc etc etc.

You sound like a reasonably clued-in professor; I wish more of mine had
been like you. I like your testing system, and being a software nerd, would
like to offer help in automating it to the point where you can get back some
of those weekend hours for more enjoyable activities. For me, the benefit
would be a worthy project to hack on, and for you, I imagine, an incentive to
keep doing right by your students and your area of study.
What do you say?
(BTW, if there is already activity afoot re automation of your testing
system, I'd appreciate a pointer to online discussion about it.)
The word "hitman" is tinged with glamourous danger (a la James Bond).
The word "suicide" implies a life to be taken away by oneself.
It sickens me (but sadly, only slightly) the ease with which
the handlers can (and will) bond with these machines, in the process
externalizing the death and destruction that they bring upon other humans.
What?! Is 10-bedtime some kind of anti-robot racist?
No, but some local maxima are less local and less maximal than I'd like to
see. As human society matures, its potential for acting, you know,
humane seems ever further away. The age of remote-controlled
assisination robots are a local maxima in that such killings could actually be
considered humane -- the handlers have almost no risk of personal injury.
Time to shamelessly (neither VHDL nor Verilog) plug
THUD.
If you are a fan of parentheses (there is an "emacs" tag, above, after all),
just imagine your LFSR components nicely
bolded
and
stuff....
Good points, all. It struck me, reading them, however, that i don't like the
term "music executive" because it mixes the beauty of the art form with the
banality of the bureaucrat. Maybe a better term would be "content distribution
parasite", since these people do neither music nor anything remotely necessary
for the functioning of the industry.
I'm reminded of a pebble dropped in a puddle.
The initial splash causes ripples that lap the sides,
wetting them enough so that flies settle to eat there.
The pebble, meanwhile, lies there and is only seen again
after all the life surrounding the puddle has erupted and
moved on, after the baking sun is done its drying.
So it is w/ Free Software in the United States.
It's not bad being outside, it seems. Lighter and more free.
Your heart is in the right place, but you got one detail wrong: Although
answers may have axiomatic foundations, questions are always valid.
Validity is not eternal, but must judged on a person-by-person basis.
To deny the asking of a question is to lengthen the time the answer
can be found, if at all. But why "if at all", you wonder. Because what
one generation has answered, the next has yet to learn. Thus, to progress,
each generation must ask the same questions. The nice hack is when the
preceding generation prepares for the current one not only the answer, but an
entertaining meta-answer (ie, how the answer is answered).
unfortunately, economics has the concept of
externalities,
which is much more prone to haphazard manipulation than the scientific
concept of
statistical
significance.
both these are used to selectively regard (i.e., ignore)
reality. this is not to say that i agree/disagree w/ your analysis;
i just wanted to inject some warning color into the discussion...

not just Italy
Yeah, but Venice is a City of Love. Even when in Italy it's quite understandable if you don't take your laptop there.
Good point, however a minor quibble:
I wouldn't say spotlight for one to many. There's already an apt term for the idea: broadcast.
millimeters: three hundred.
brain stem: assundered.

The FSF is also looking for such a system (as long as it's Free Software). I don't know if Affero GPL is required, although it is probably preferred.
This excludes anything Outlook-touching, so that's an area of non-overlap. Solution is to wean the org off Outlook, if necessary. Not easy for some.

There is justice as in "for everyone", and there is justice as in "for just us".
Probably the latter is what you are referring to (sadly).
Rest assured, there is no such thing! (That's teddy bear sez (always in a soft comforting voice, so of course i believe him)...)

Someone crank up the rpms; this reality is ready to shatter.

Seriously. :-(
It all depends on what you want to measure. If you take:

lots of "rich" stuff there; sounds fattening. i see "incredible" "leveraging", too. the clincher, however, is "trusted". now we can rest easy.
