Just having all that information in one place and easily accessable makes it dangerous. And how would you know they haven't given stuff over to anyone you wouldn't like?
Well "Chrome" is sypware. It is and well it isn't open source. Chromium is open source and well is basically the exact same as "Chrome" but different. I won't appologize for it, it IS SPYWARE. It does give you benefit but it reports almost everything home.
As for SRWare Iron. I use it. It is great. But you don't get SRWare Iron when you click on the Chrome button. SRWare Iron is a good browser, Chrome is NOT.
I would teach them something they can compete with. Not necessicarilly what is the most competitive. Who cares if C is faster, if they don't have enough knowledge to solve the problems. I would try to teach them something to maximize their utility and scrap time. If they continue to program they have reall won (or lost) not sure which way to go on that one.
But really if you give them good ability to solve problems via programming you really let them win. They can go lear C over the following year.
Your parents CAN kick your brother out of the house. Completly in their rights!
I agree that I most likly wouldn't survine very long on a deserted island. But that is life, you live you die. Sorry about that but it is the truth. And I am not advocating KILLING people, just saying that no individual should be singled out to support another person. Sure I would let my brother live in my house for free if he lost his job, but I DON'T HAVE TO.
Well I know you think that all sex is consentual, and well thought out. And I hope that someday you actually have sex. But This is the biggest piece of bullshit out there. How many times have you had sex? How many children do you have? Wolud you be able to support n kids, where n is the number of times you have had sex?
Didn't think so. Stop trying to push your religous beliefs as rational they are NOT.
It is funny you bring up her cutting off your penis.
Here is my take on abortion. First it isn't a human it is a fetus. But anyway that is just semantics. The woman has some rights, carrying around a futus/baby is infringing upon her rights. This is not fair the the woman.
I bet if you stuck you penis inside a woman without her wanting it there she would be perfectly in her rights to cut it off! Seems like a self defense to me. Same thing goes with a futus/baby. She doesn't want it there, she can kick it to the curb.
But a drivers license is an OPTION. You don't need to drive. I went a good 4 years on my own without a car. Sure I lied to my employer (worked shitty hourly retail job while in college)about my ability to drive in when it was raining. But I lived for 1 year very close to school, and abotu 8 miles from work. Then I lived for 2 years about 2 miles from work and 12 miles from school, and finally I lived a year 9 miles from work and 10 miles from school. And sure I bummed some rides with friends every now and then but I also biked (or walked) 12 months doing all of this.
Social Security they give me (hopefully) money when I retire. Sounds fair.
This is just supposed to stop mexicans from working in the US. And well they will continue to work here despite the ID card because they alread do it illegially. It isn't like the employers are getting duped, they just want plausible deniability by having a fake SSN, they know they are hireing illegials. They will do the same with the id card. Just a different number.
No I would regularly ride my bike on public roads with only my health insurance information (because those 'licensed' to drive suck at it) stuffed into various parts of my bike and clothing. You only need a drivers license to operate a MOTOR vehicle (typically above 49cc) on public roads.
You would be supprised how much ground you can cover with a bicycle when it is your only mode of transportation. Even in a HOT, HILLY, and CONGESTED metro area like Atlanta.
Number 2 and 3 are the same. Fuel Cells are electrical generators that can use a liquid power source. Batteries are electrical power storage mediums. They are both electric cars, and so is the Chevy volt (it just has a petrol generator on it).
And bio-fuels are well a bad idea. They are in essence very very low efficiency solar power. Their only benefit is that they fit in (almost perfectly) into our current fossil fuel based transportation system.
The versatility of a combustion engine, and the power density and portability of petrol/diesel will last for a VERY long time. Bio fuels CAN NOT SCALE! The ideas behind them will be scrapped but they will remain a very minor player.
Well that being a hospital I would hope that there is a HUGE ANTI CHROME sentiment. CHROME IS SPYWARE!
And I am sorry. IE8 is not ALL that bad. IE6 was the biggest piece of shit ever, and I am sure the taste is still in the air. But IE8 isn't really that bad. Sure as shit better than the SPYWARE that chrome is.
I feel your pain with the CRTs. I had a 19" monitor with 1600x1200 resolution in the 90s. It took about 10 years to get LCDs with 1920x1200. But they are 24". Sure my desk is a bit thinner but the 3 years between my 19" CRT gonig tits up, and me being able to drop $500 on a decent 24" 1920x1200 monitor was PURE HELL.
Althought I still think spinning metal discs will last. Only due to the total storage density of traditional HDD. It will take a long time for SSDs to fit 1.5TB into a drive bay, and not cost absurd amounts.
And that would be USER error. I am sorry but you can't expect to drag the brakes at 70mph to maintain speed. And you definately can't expect to drag them fora while then expect to be able to stop. The brakes are not a 'Stop' button.
Now people not knowing how to drive is a problem that the manufacutrers have made worse. It is also a major result of the DMV handing out liscenses to anyone who can get a 75% on a REALLY EASY written exam.
While what you say is true. Wikipedia makes enough internet traffic, and Googles XX% of it makes Google WAY more than 2 million bucks. So Google doesn't 'owe' Wikipedia anything, but it would be stupid not to have it.
And I don't know where I read this (maybe slashdot) but a few years back when Google revamped its page rank system it did not count internal links (ie. one cnn article to another cnn article) but they made an exception for wikipedia so those articles would show up on the first page of results.
Well I had a motorola flip phone with a stainless exterior, that was no longer made and got 'Upgraded', by Verizon to a camera flip phone. Which was a POS and I went through 6 refurbs in 6 months before I got a prepaid T-Mobile phone and waited the 3 months before I could port my Verizon phone without penalties.
Don't go for anything less than 1920x1200. It isn't worth it. My 19" 1600x1200 died and I was misserable until I could pony up 400$ for a GOOD 24" monitor. I still wish I had that CRT. It was georgeous.
I have a couple of inexpensive (not even the cheap ones) LCD monitors I found for cheap, and they aren't comparable to my good 400$ one.
Yeah but you get lots of error in transmission losses, and reflections. The clocks are accurate enough, the actual positions of the satelites, and the reflections, and absortions of the signals are what gives you error.
How does the said food get into the grocery store, if the city is not built for cars (trucks)?
I am not saying I wouldn't want that but there are a few problems with it.
Density! There is a required 'critical mass[population]' required to suppport a store, and that population must all be within 2 blocks of the store.
Current status! Density brings me to the fact that massive roads, and even larger parking lots brings density down. Not to mention large blocks of commertial or residential area that is alerady built out.
Job longevity! In the old days you would work at a job for 10s of years. Allowing you to live very near by. Now working at a single job for more than 5 years is not that common. You can't just up and move every few years, espically without a pickup truck.
I want it to happen, but it wont happen. The solution is massive and efficient public transportation. Then it will be possible to back build our cities to accomodate walking and other non-auto forms of transportaiton.

You fail to realize that you already get lots of spam, and junk mail. There is obviously a good business model somewhere in there.

Chrome is SPYWARE! It is a horrible browser, it phones everything home to Google.
Sure it is good at browsing the web, but as a program it sucks!
Mod parent up!

Oh and I have a 27" HD widscreen CRT TV that will not be replaced by a LCD even at 2x the size.
I don't have to worry about 1080 vs 720 native resolution problems. I can show 1080i just as nicely as 720p.
I feel your pain with the CRTs. I had a 19" monitor with 1600x1200 resolution in the 90s. It took about 10 years to get LCDs with 1920x1200. But they are 24".

God I hope not. How do you surf or send email without a keyboard?
I am not a programmer, and have a 15" laptop at work, and still go crazy when I don't plug in my REAL keyboard.
If this is sucessfull I am so very afraid that we will see lots of things without proper buttons.
Uh ... it is really easy to install IE8 on XP.
This message is brought to you by both.
No the military is really there to turn things of value (that the other guy has) into trash. This is what warfare is.
Yeah if I got that picture I would be busting some heads. And not my childs!
