Your good code can be trash for me, and vice versa. The code that is excellent into the situation X can be horrible if used in the situation Y. Stop looking for "the perfect coding style that fits all," it does not exist.
Caution. "Just Google search" can cause an ugly problem of cyclic recurrence. How?
Many times my searches result in some obscure forum where desired content is only mentioned. And when I question about where to look for the content, someone speaks (and generally in a arrogant manner) "search on Google". But what is the point of search on Google if you already have arrived in the forum exactly as result from seeking on google?
a) secure boot can be easily disabled within bios/uefi on all x86 units, which is all current Windows 8 desktops, all current windows 8 laptops, and a big chunk of the windows 8 tablets too.* So if you drag in a working windows 8 pc, they can boot their favorite live cd with minimal effort.
Well, you can make a good installer and not every software is simple and/or small enough to use a "all-in-one" executable. The problem is finding qualified people for the job.
I already have enough experience to say with some confidence: One of the major problems of current systems (and especially the installers, as the author of the topic described) is the lack of attention to detail.
If software X works in the environment Y, the author assumes that X is ready to be distributed. But what happens when the environment is Y + 0.45? Failure. Because X software never considered the possibility of Y not being exactly Y.
But NOOOO, is so "uncool" to spend time covering details, right? After all, "Works on my rig"(tm)
The problem is not the cut itself, but where the cut is being made. Remember news reports that the U.S. government spends more on air conditioning for troops in Afghanistan than the entire budget of NASA?
Does not that then suggests that the government should cut back on military spending? But no, they prefer to cut NASA's budget. After the priority is to blow people and clog the banksters with money.
Well... I already use an unconventional eyeglass (one-piece impact-resistant polycarbonate) and I do not give a damn what others think when I'm using it. I really would like to use one that also had a real, functional HUD:-)
your autistic friend may seem indifferent to it, but only because he doesn't realize that you are sad. If you tell him you are sad, or show it more overtly so he picks up on it, he will try to console
Exact. Remember when speaking with an "aspie" (like myself) that the famous "body language" and "you should know that no one speak," do not work. The best thing you do is be direct, say what you really think or feel rather than wait for the aspie try to guess what you're really trying to say.
I am a asperger, and I do not lack empathy. What differs from me to "normal people" is that I show my empathy in a very different way, I are unable to pretend empathy as our society demands and therefore I only demonstrate when trully feel empathy for someone or something.
The psychopath is basically unable to put "the other" in the balance when he decides something, he always decides for personal gain even if it costs he lives of others and he is a master in deceiving others, while aspergers like me have serious difficulties to interact with people.
...The gene is highly active in the regions of the brain that control language learning and decision making, indicating that it may play a significant role in the higher brain functions that make humans, well, human.
Recalling my experience when trying to socialize with people so far, I believe this gene in a significant proportion of humanity works only partially...
1) Go to the back yard or other open place. You will need lots of space;
2) Place the turkey on an aluminum disk, on top of a table;
3) Make sure you have nothing living in a radius of 300m around the turkey;
4) Shoot the high precision, low orbit ion cannon selecting the turkey as target, use the turkey "ready" indicator (usually red) to assist aim. Remember to adjust the intensity to "cook", avoid the factory standard "disintegrate";
Most of the "contracts" is made in the style "or you accept everything that is there or get out", where the artist does not have a chance to negotiate. A contract is only fair when the parties have equal bargaining power, otherwise it becomes invariably a legalized extortion.
I believe that the authors of the book are simply morons. For example, there is an incredibly obvious explanation for the fact that the Eskimo diet is predominantly meat: Where they would plant anything... in the Arctic?:-)
All joking aside, for most applications, we don't mind energy loss. The key is getting the energy into a compact and transportable form usable in cars.
Exact. The trick is to convert energy from form A to the form B as efficiently as possible. But, this conversion will never be 100% efficient, that is impossible.
To be exact it is a little bit of everything... In addition to the fees and taxes you described, we have one factor that here is called "Lucro Brasil" ("Brazilian Profit" in English).
It works more or less like this: If I want to buy a $100 SSD overseas, I will need to pay $300 (ludicrous import taxes, customs, shipping, etc etc). Then one day a manufacturer decides to make the $100 SSD inside my country. Knowing that the overseas price of $100 is the final consumer price for sale with profits, costs etc already included, then the national SSD would cost me more or less the same $100, right?
Wrong. Why the manufacturer would sell me the national SSD for $100, if he can charge the $300 it would cost me to buy abroad? And that's what everyone does here. And I can not do anything because I can only buy within the country or abroad for the same $300, to purchase for $100 only if I make smuggling.
Here we have the same problem, but in our case it affects anything and everything that comes from overseas. I have to pay three times what you Americans pay for an SSD, ridiculous is not it?
Incidentally, interesting question... Why businesses can freely look around the globe a place to produce things, while we consumers are forced to buy our things in a very restricted manner (You can even import, but only if you pay double or even triple) and for much more than we should? Capitalism and free market for large companies, Dictatorship for consumers?
Things that can go wrong will go wrong sooner or later. Obviously you try build to not go wrong, but it is healthy to have ways to "survive" (in the case of the rocket, able to continue the flight) when things go wrong.
Only a minority can see beyond the "show". The rest want what some "guru" claims to be the best thing in the universe, even though it is actually a lie. People want to have the "status" of having an iGadget, even if this iGadget is technically inferior to others.

In a country where meat is more or less luxury, is convenient to make the people believe that meat is bad.
Is the only way to be sure.

While NASA literally struggled to raise funds to build one Hubble, the NRO had the funds to build many more than three "Hubbles."
(The NRO showed two completed and parts for a third, imagine how many others actually went into space)
