Only if you interpret natural to be what most interpret as artificial. In the widely accepted interpretation, natural would be without human influence.
If you want to look at what artificial selection has done for us, look at how we've made dogs (poodles, yorkies, etc) better wolves.
Point is, it doesn't seem that traits humans want (and select for) are necessarily what is most beneficial to what is being selected on.
Also, I realize Cutting Edge Silicon does not necessarily equal cutting edge, but until there is a technology that allows for a unified memory architecture, I don't see how a SoC will compete wish discrete components (or have incentive to on the cutting edge) that have a reason to be regularly upgraded for reasons other than CPU interaction.
It was a smart (but expensive) strategic move for chasing the cutting edge, but if their business plan is to leave the cutting edge behind, then I fear we lost one of the biggest drivers of progress. Intel might have the technology, but AMD gives them the incentive to keep running with it.
A lot of tech companies use RHEL or CentOS for production/development, both (really, they are practically the same) have gui interfaces if you choose to use it.
It is perfectly suitable for learning, though you mostly deal with RHEL specific install management(RPMs), but most distros are part of a few different management schemes.
I don't know what world you are imagining, but I imagine something like all ISPs having root access and absolute content control over everything in their service (even that not owned by them).
And regularly stopping in unannounced to strip the sites of any valuable content to prevent them from having to pay if something is lost.
You are correct. Because this gun doesn't use destructive interference or anything else that would *mute* sound, it can easily be subverted by plugging your ears. I do it all the time with BF3's crappy voice chat function.
As long as you block out the echo (mentally or physically), you can easily talk.
I realize I should have posted the alternative in my previous post:
It is bad business to cut your talent on a whim. They would have transitioned these developers/engineers to other projects if they could have afforded to keep them.
Rather, WebOS to FOSS was a cost cutting measure, and the devs were part of that cost. They would have been stupid to do so without something twisting their arm (in this case, the shareholders).
Yes, because HP, a company floundering with a new business model that reduces emphasis on PC sales and is downsizing in general, fired those employees because of Open Source but not because they are struggling.
I just want to point out that what the parent was talking about was the changeover of most the flora of an ecosystem, not how fast it takes a tree to grow in fertile ground.
I live in Virginia, and there are grassy plots over a hundred years old (historically grazing land) that haven't accepted shrubs or trees thanks to thin topsoil.
Yes, parents that are products of a failing system, many uneducated, most know nothing about teaching, let's make them the target of accountability, not the people with degrees in the field that we are paying to do a job that is being done poorly.
Excellent reasoning, sir. There are always those that far exceed expectations or their situations, my father being one (went from a poor family in a rural area to a high level boss in the DHS making a Senator's salary), but they are radical departures from the norm, often gifted in ways the parents can't influence (my father's sure couldn't).
The issue we need to solve isn't in the impossible diversity of every families' situation, but the opportunity we present all students to succes and the minimum standards we impose for a person to function in our society. That is, the classroom.
Or to prevent mixing whackos with experts breaking ground in radical directions. That is what tenure is supposed to grant, the freedom and protection to go iin new directions or challenge conventional paradigms without fear of being discarded for going against the status quo.
But just like many well intended benefits of track record and experience (see also social security), it became interpretted by many as the start of a good paying and low effort pension.
Any option that involves access to the internet is not feasible with this type of software. Many film/video/game shops do not let their important information (the kind this software would be used on) be accessible from the internet (as in, local net, but no internet access).
From TFA, the hunter's club, and the associated video of the "shootdown", here is what happened.
Hunters attended a clay pidgeon shoot (not a live one). Man known for pulling stunts like paragliding over hunting events launches a drone from the highway. It flies so high that it is difficult to seeeven from the launcher's perspective. Shortly afterward, the drone glides back to earth (a little ungracefully).
Given this guy's history and the lack of logical explanation for the circumstances, I infer that bad piloting skills or purposeful self sabotage was pinned on the group once he realized there was nothing juicy to cover. As for the mysterious single shot small caliber sniper that was a group somehow and then vanished without a trace, using illogical weaponry and performing an impossible shot, my guess either that was a lie or one of this assholes's buddies doing it for publicity.
I don't know what they are calling small caliber. Small calibers are typically louder than shotguns (take the 5.55/.223 as an example) unless the cqartridge itself is small...
However, nobody with a small caliber rifle would bring it to a dove shoot (pidgeon shoot as they called it) because of redundency and weight, and I would applaud someone for shooting down an RC toy with a.22lr handgun.
You could teach. It would give you the satisfaction of bringing up snotheads into a world where they will hopefully contribute. You won't get paid diddly for another 20 years.
Or you could be a technical manager, but if you haven't been one by now, you probably don't have the charisma to cut it.
If you are clever (read insightful), you could write a book, but you'd have to be really special to have it sell, and the peak for computing books was during the late 80s/early 90s.
Or you could go freelance, but that is very risky.
Not only this, but the systemic pesticides produced by GM crops have been implicated (and there is strong evidence to support it) in the neurological problems that caused the bee die-offs that are still plaguing farms/beekeepers.
That analogy works for, say, lying in bed, but not for entering a boxing rink.
The airport is the new boxing rink. There are three options (just as the option of not entering the rink), and the third makes the other two reasonable.
If you don't want to get searched, you can't fly on a plane. If you want to fly on a plane, you have two unpleasant options to getting searched.
In your analogy, the third option would be saying "I don't want either" and walking away.

Sounds worse than what we have.
Of course he does, he doesn't get it. SOPA protests didn't hurt his bottom line.
That is why we (I) am participating in Black March. Hit them somewhere they do understand.

Why would mining companies care about Global Warming?
Or are all shill-payers (music industry, Apple, Microsoft) suddenly right-wing anti-scientists?
I fail to see the connection in your conspiracy.
Unfortunately, our Constitutional rights only extend to protections from the government, not from corporations or each other.
I really wonder which of us here is a "simple fuck".
If you want protections from corporations, and defined liberties outside of government, you'll need to draft a new Bill of Rights with them included.

I genuinely doubt you can shift blame away from the teacher in a classroom of students doing poorly, year after year of classrooms.
You are talking about noise in a trend. The trend is the teacher's fault, the noise is not.

When you are talking about a 0.12% error, that is in the range of fixed point and half precision floating point math errors due to different OOPs.
No standard or defined conditions of rounding will fix that.
They already round up or down to the nearest penny thanks to %tax and 99/100ths pennies making most transactions end with fractional penny amounts.
A nickel wouldn't require any extra though or skill.
Besides, few clerks operate without a computer that does the rounding calculations for them.
Anyone who has been to the doctor for a sinus infection has been told that they are rarely bacterial in origin, and are almost exclusively viral.
They give antibiotics as a precaution and as a placebo, as patients feel better taking *something*, regardless whether it is effective.

You get more radiation from being in a high altitude, unshielded aircraft (a LOT more, IIRC).
I don't see radiation as being a point of controversy.
