Where they really shine is when combined with a mini ITX mobo. Now if I got around to get an inverter and some decent battery I could bring my desktop computer with me as a moderately bulky laptop replacement.
I did not advocate abolishing good coding practice or the "hard" languages, or intelligent thought.
I mean there ought to be a programming language my little sister could use casually. An intially level and smoothly steepning ramp to ease users into the world of coding. Not the current case where it's pretty much a solid veritical wall that is only slowly chipped down.
Example of inexperienced people doing stupid thing with professional grade stuff is common, your example is equivalent to some dense person in a workshop that ruins some woodworking tool by putting metal it in. Which is not an argument for banning all entry grade powertools. It's just an anecdote about a stupid guy, or girl in your case.
Convenient programming should be prioritized nowadays, most people at an entry level don't plan to code anything massive and performance critical anyway. While I do love ruby(and processing, and ruby processing) I think there's a lot of room for improvment in convenience, perhaps at a massive expense of performance, but most people have a core or two, or five sitting idle most of the time anyway.
Ideally, programming should be a playground accessible to all, not like today where it's more of a military discipline camp accessible to all.
My point was that this is a marketing article, claims of new supercaptches to be supersafe wheras they in fact perform no better or even worse than traditional captchas.
Becuse like Aron Barr, the idiots in charge of powerful institutions are more often than not idiots themself. I mean, a person that spends all their time backstabbing and sucking ass to climb the corporate/political ladder will often have painfully little spare time to actually be useful for anything else.
All you need is a nice suite and some confidence and you too can be the president of the united states(after finding some coprate sponsors and people handlers to put you there), i can assure you that you would be hard pressed to do a worse job than the latest bunch of morons that have had the job(not to mention the one currently having it) does.
Steven Chu is a naive Climate-first person and while in the bubbly climate of 2008 he of course put out hot air rainbow painted statements.
As to actually increasing the price of gas, it's the worst fucking thing that can happen to the economy and political rating of pretty much everyone thinking they are are saving the US. Any policymaker would gladly throw a few endagered species under the bus if it lowered the gas price.
There's of course a lot of hypocrisy and selfcontraction going on. They want inflation because that's a great argument for printing and saving their rich and big friends, they don't however want $5 gas as a result of inflation, as it will fuck up the economy and piss of a lot of people, not to mention be a splendidly bright beacon of recovery failure. So what to they do? Think short-sightedly and print of course, because $5 gas would of course be in the future, now it's the future, and their decisions are back to bit their sorry asses.
Guess what they'll do next? Here's a hint: stimulus money/bailouts, and printing ad infinity. Because they lack the mental faculties to do anything else.
This is what economic recovery looks like. George orwell was wrong in that any new words and language patterns were needed. We need no doublespeak. We just define salvation as a pretty word, such as "economic recovery" "lowering unemployment" and then repeat that everything is going as intended towards salvation, time and time and time again. Of course a lot of independent people will put out graphs, essays and arguments that state the opposite. But you're the goverment or some other big, powerfull and connected, so you ignore everything, and paint your own rosy picture. If someone wants a graph, why use real numbers? just fabricate the shit as some kind of bullshit weighted numbers, and repeat the bullshit mantra; salvation is coming, everything is going as planned, our internvetions are effective.
$5 gallon gas prices? claim it's a myth, deny it as far as you can, then blame it on terrorists, speculators and iran. Just never admit that the retards and their friends in charge fucked up severely, at every single point they could.
A single molecule edge cuts good. A monofilament is the holy grail of sci-fi slicing. A single-atom pointy stick have to be the ultimate stabbing device by the same line of reasoning.
Although you are probably right, bacteria usually have various mechanisms for accumulating iron from the enviroment, to the point where the body decreases availible iron as a response to infection. So an iron bait could potentially make the bacteria actively spread their cheeks to the phages.
Anonymous is more like a publishing and public rage outlet. There's hardly a member card required for it either, if I went to some random secret document repository, tossed everything in a photocopyer, escaped and then published it as "Anonymous", all on my own, it's quite unlikely that someone would pop up to claim "Oh he's not Anonymous, we are!".
The standard meaning of the word still applies even though there's a lot of internet and 4chan memes associated to it also nowdays.
Oh not at all, you see, unless you're a big corporation with a lot of lawyers, you can't own any content. So they look "oh it's the little guy again" and "yeah this content would be nice to own" and with that, it's theirs.
0,5mg 4 hours before, for a medication that have 35-50 minutes halflife means you'll have no left in you when you go to bed. For me it works splendidly to take one right before going to bed. Wheras I used to fall asleep only after lying in bed for over 1hour, sometimes 3 and not all that seldom even 5 hours I can now jump from a brightly lit screen straight to bed and be fast asleep within 40 minutes with good reliability. The bad part of course is where you run out of melatonin tabs and find that your body have downregulated production to zero. As for required disorders, fuck that, human variability and the way reference ranges are set ensure that a lot of people could not get a diagnosis yet still will benefit from melatonin, if nothing else, it could be placebo, but if it works, it works. It's not terribly expensive and very nontoxic so trying is no great harm.
I'm somewhat near sighted, getting glasses was like upgrading that 8 year old computer. Was a very neat transition. That said, how much did the lens manufacturer pay you for that post?
Melatonin is considered a supplment in some parts of the world, and prescription drug in others. If considered a supplement where you live, go to the pharmacy and pick up ~1mg pills, should do the trick(effective dose is something like 0,1mg)
You're pretty right on the laser part, as for nukes, why not use them, you can drop rocks on people for more damage than nukes so they'll be in very common use, part of that expensive complex munition things, although nukes are rather crude. Drones though, autonmous drones at that, can have some pretty ugly fucking problem in the radiation enviroment of space with bitflipping and whatnot.
Clearly, air combat will be fought with swords attached to the wingtips of your ornitopther because not only are reloading unfeasible mid flight, guns are also too heavy and unfit to hit agile targets such as winged men.
No such thing as perfect wide spectrum mirrors. Even with massive heatsinking they'll burn out as soon as anything worth the title of a space combat grade pulse lasers winks at them.
As for capital ships, unlikely, they are too big targets and no amount of armor will really prevent a dedicate enemy from putting peppering them with hyperkinetic pinballs.
Barring exotic supertechs spaceships would probably operate on the basis of being relatively small vessels, axial gunmounts with minimal cross section towards the enemies, very powerfull lateral engines and heavily networked to sensor and targeting grids to allow them to simply strafe to whatever tiny safe zone the sensor grid suggests is availible from that metric fuckton of spacegravel coming your way at 120km/s.
As for lasers, sure, they might work at short distances. but as soon as you can do a random walk flight and escape the beam targeting due to the 0,6second light-lag they too turn rather inefficient.
My vision of space combat is rather few ships, but very nasty and advanced supermunitions to blow the shit out of the enemy staging area/home base, and some additional to clear any ships or large munitions passing in the no-mans-land that is the cold black vacuum.

It's tapping into the grid! Awsome!
Now someone go hook that LED up to a 50% efficient enclosing PV panel.

Seems very child oriented. Maybe I forgot to mention my little sister is an adult, just not fluent in computers.
Maybe what I'm looking for really is just even more libraries to Ruby or perhaps NLP compatible syntax too.

People will instead let their computer do the job. There was a story about autmatically breaking video captchas here on slashdot a week ago or so.
At the end of the day, BillG is alive and SteveJ is not.

Obviously the coordinators need some IT security (breaching) experience. There is likely quite a few more than 25 of those however.
The black knight was not just a fictional person?

No, they are entirely preoccupied with dodging traffic. Of course only those that survived the introduction of the silent killer: the hybrid car.

And it is for this that the laser will be used, blowing those pesky missiles out of the sky, uh... void.
