socially acceptable if it's possible to make millions and millions of dollars doing it? Oh had I only known, I should have gone into the finance industry to be really popular!
Doubt it... any group of people that has a genetic or cultural based tendency to have a lot of kids will eventually take over the current population, weeding out the infrequent breeders.
But on what timescale? Something very big and game-changing will probably happen before first-world birth rate picks up again.
There's plenty to gripe about, but I don't see anyone stepping forward to distill the message and create an agenda. Change won't happen without leadership and I don't see any at the protests.
Keep them on your main home computer's HDD and set up daily backups to a separate drive (you should be doing this anyway - and forget RAID, it's not a substitute). Integrate the movies into your normal computer usage lifecycle (new machine, new drives, etc) and they will be preserved for as long as you own and use a computer.
Maybe you should read about what they accomplished in the 60's. Not working now? It's just a question of scale.
Exactly what do you think "they" accomplished in the 60s?
I'm not sure why you don't think it's clear, but the word 'they' in this conversation refers to street protests.
I'll admit that the space race of the 1960s was exciting...even if it was motivated by development of nuclear ICBMs. But the protests? Good place to meet girls. Nothing more.
Even if you were there - which I doubt - you don't know what you're talking about.
What an expensive choice. Is this just a PR stunt, or is there something inherently better (say, volatile oils) that makes coffee beans better than, say, wood?
I presented Sharpscipt to Microsoft a few years back. It was C# implemented in IE as a Javascript replacement. It would have provided a type safe DOM, and a JIT. Needless to say the idea was rejected. Microsoft doesn't want eat their own dog food. That's for you peons to do.
As much as I love.NET, I have to agree in some respects. I have a customer who insists on using SSRS because it's "free" and because "Microsoft made it". Holy shit what a half-assed abortion.
IT and developer tools often get away with having - and never fixing - ridiculous problems that no normal consumer would put up with. Sometimes I think the most significant requirement of the professions is being able to work around poor design.
We need an option to compile web apps to something like IL from a variety of languages (*exactly* like.NET), and these need to target a common browser object model that's defined by a rigorous set of unit tests. HTML? Fine. JavaScript? Fine. Just leave them above the real browser standard so developers who like them stay happy but let rest of us move on.
Others have already mapped vision to pixels years ago. This variation has more to do with pattern association than biology, and it's not even particularly interesting. Someone just wants more funding for their research.
Imagine the Diablo III engine applied to an Avatar: The Last Airbender video game, where you could control the 5 main characters all at once a-la the original Dungeon Siege, and go off with one or two at a time on sub-quests. And all the voice acting and cut scenes were done by the original cast and writers, with a lot of story mixed in unobtrustively. And you have like, 80 abilities for each element class. And 'leveling' is very much based in your own skill. Blizzard + Nickelodeon... I would love to see them collaborate.
Yes, because getting your groped by a private security agency employee is much better than being groped by a government agency employee. It's like being glad that your shit sandwich now has a different kind of bread.
No so. Under private ownership you can sue the bejeezus out of them. Abusive screeners could get arrested, go to jail, get registered as sex offenders. And on top of that you'd have massive lawsuits to the airline, media frenzies, scandal, and devastating loss of business, all coming from an already extremely angry public. Shit sandwiches? I think the first big one under a private system would go strait to the fan.
The sole interest of the United States and the primary object in conferring the [copyright] monopoly lie in the general benefits derived by the public from the labors of authors.
So does this extension mean the EU has a different opinion on the function of copyright?

This is the guy who first said it.
Stop listening to the MBA and metrics nutjobs. Don't try to manage your people like the machines they operate.

the uncanny valley. And yet we already have a solution - don't use DreamWorks crappy human animations or models.
The teens will be the decade of Linux on the desktop.
No. Never. Not in any decade.

Also things like with WIndows you NEED some sort of anti-virus installed as well
No, you don't.
Do the math. It's actually possible.
Dystopia? Think bigger than that. Think the birth of a thousand new species, and all of them die except the most violent and aggressive ones.

I'd mod you up if I could... thanks for the tidbit.
Treat it like any normal relationship. Don't stay because of guilt, stay because you're happy.
Creeper World... one of my casual favorites.

Street protests are stupid and futile.

Yeah, and see how many websites built in the last eight or nine years work without Javascript... Hell, for real security, go back to using Gopher!
Javascript will be long gone from mainstream by then.
looks like a job for Section 9
As opposed to what other kind of coding? Why didn't you just say programming?
Yes, because getting your groped by a private security agency employee is much better than being groped by a government agency employee. It's like being glad that your shit sandwich now has a different kind of bread.
No so. Under private ownership you can sue the bejeezus out of them. Abusive screeners could get arrested, go to jail, get registered as sex offenders.
