Actually the law is not neutral. It is there to specifically prohibit certain behaviours so it obviously isn't neutral.The application of the laws is what is supposed to be fair.
You could, but you couldn't always trust that every device attached has this memory, or that nothing has changed while the machine has been off (maybe a failed drive has been swapped out, or a usb pendrive has been unplugged as someone realised they needed it but didn't power back up the machine to unplug it). You're much better off scanning the busses than just hoping the hardware hasn't changed and writing to what was there and hoping it's safe (embedded machines may of course be different if you've desig
Beta blockers will stop the shaking and sweating without any mental impairment. Here in the UK doctors are generally happy to prescribe them for this situation. Pretty much zero abuse potential so I'd imagine it's similar in most countries.
Funny, but it's a good point. How do the employers know that the candidate is showing his/her own code? Even if they are, most likely the code for show will be polished to perfection over however long that takes, and probably not representative of their code while working on a deadline. Far better to give a test during the interview and have your best engineers present to evaluate the candidate
On one move, 2.5% of the people voted for a move that was completely ILLEGAL. In that particular game, the world did manage to play a good game, but arguably only because a few very good players managed to take charge and guide the hoards through it all. In general the message boards degenerated into a lot of flaming....
I have to agree, what NCBI has accomplished with Entrez is pretty amazing. Check out the 'Gene' page for any given gene . Not only do you get the sequence of the gene, transcript, and gene product, but they have literature references, a list of interacting proteins, all sorts of metadata from the Gene Ontology project. If that's not enough, just about any sequence analysis tool out there will accept an NCBI RefSeq ID, making it incredibly easy to use this data any way you want.
So let's say that you or some other scientist in the field figures out a way to actually get humans to live to 1000 years. Have you or anybody in your field considered that humans living that long would grossly exacerbate the current crisis concerning population and resources?
XML still wins for typing by hand, I reckon. Tags are easier to type than holding down the spacebar or trying to get your editor to expand tabs to spaces for YAML files but not for every other file in your project.
Funny, I'm tired of seeing YAML in places where XML would work fine.Like serializing my Ruby objects, for example. When I don't care about performance, XML is best, because almost everything else will read and write it, including my text editor, and I know the syntax. When I *do* care about performance, I'm not going to use YAML either.I don't see the niche YAML fits, frankly.
And more interestingly, cyberbrains can enter and 'autistic mode', where all external connections are refused, negating the hacking problem.
Also, checkout the first movie (and original manga) for some interesting discussion into the borders of 'humanity' when humans may not have any biological components left, and machines may be entirely biological in nature (or entirely bodiless).

As long as we depend on cigars with wings and chemical based propellants we will only inch our way along this journey. I had higher hopes for this crew.
I have an section on my website that posts my twitter. In plain text. No fancy background, image-heavy, 'sleek' looking background or whatnot... it's just straight, text that shows my last twitter. It's useful for posting why X thing is broken on my site if I notice a problem from work, or my computer crashes and I want to let people who visit my site know why there's no updates, stuff like that (since I can text a twitter from my cellphone). To keep it from showing the same downtime reason for weeks at a time, I update it every so often with whatever random thought. Once or twice a week tops.That said, the only reason I use Twitter is because it's the only application I've found that allows me to very easily and quickly post a quick informational update to my website no matter where I am (again, cellphone).If this open-source option allows that, I'm all for it. Otherwise, I'm not particularly pleased with Twitter as a whole. If anyone knows of any alternatives that allow me to do exactly what I use it for above, let me know... I'll bail Twitter if I can find a better alternative.
Now I don't know who I am, or why I have several fake ID's in my posession. I don't know why I am efficient in killing heavily trained soldiers with my bare hands. I only know one thing: My name is Jason Bourne.
I was sure that would be the case so my post was mostly a joke, but it was worth a shot!Given all the public money that goes into health care even in the US and its supposedly private system, it seems like it would be a net win for the government to set up a similar system here. Given what an emergency room visit costs here, you wouldn't need to prevent very many to make it pay off.

Man if you ignored the Iran bit that would make for a great superhero comic.

The essence of the question is OK, though suggesting that he might not even have considered it is just insulting.

Yes, but I'm sure that a lot of them prefer IE 6 to IE 7.

If this passes they might as well ban people from driving cars because they can be used to traffic illegal drugs.
