...and your OS runs your browser, and your bios loads your OS, and your hardware is the platform on which your bios runs, and your hardware uses electricity, which is generated by the power company by burning coal, which is mined from the earth. So really, this all the fault of the planet.
There are also those people who like to think they know everything that is ever going to be known and who will shun and deny knowledge that contradicts their beliefs.
Shun the non-believer. Shun. Shuuuuuuuuuu-nnnnn. Nnn.
Insightful, indeed. Perhaps the electronics age-induced ADHD over the entire coming-of-age population will render them unfit to just sit and listen for hours at a time, thereby upending our entire justice system.
Note to lawyers: start working on fun and exciting ways to present evidence with lasers and animation, and you are sure to win more trials!
What a weaker or stronger player would do vastly differs between players - even of the same level. We all have our own rationalizations for the values to which we assign pieces, and they aren't necessarily rational. And they may change over the course of the game as pieces are captured.
Settings shouldn't be 'easy,' 'medium,' and 'hard.' They should be '10 year old who would rather be playing outside,' 'gifted 12 year old,' 'college party guy with a hangover,' 'math professor with no social life,' etc.
What if the mosquito population is actually a symptom for a deeper problem? This solution may be the equivalent of sewing up the skin where a compound fracture broke through without setting the bone.
Their business model appears to be a social network to get to social networks, like RSS aggregation aggregation (yes, I meant it twice). Maybe iGoogle can have an app to aggregate the aggregated aggregates. Anyway, this is just the shot-in-the-arm Facebook needs: easy app development. There sure as shit isn't enough crap already on it.
Agreed (at least, I think I do since I don't know what any of that means), but the camera has to do all of it without the user ever knowing. That will be the camera of the future.
There is a place for "clever" or "novel" code. We shouldn't be so locked into doing things a certain way that we never deviate from the path. It is important, however, to understand the history of what you are working on in order to avoid repeating past mistakes, or re-engineering the wheel.
There very well may be a good reason why something is done a certain way, but that reason may simply be that no one ever thought of it before. That doesn't make it wrong.
In the field of armchair chaos theory, I would like to propose the sudden convergence of every (co-spheroid-planar?) orbit upon on singular point. Or if you prefer the more Hollywood version, they unite to form a malevolent intelligence bent on the destruction of mankind. I think either would be pretty cool.
"The more pieces of debris up there, the more chance you'll have another collision," says space analyst Geoffrey Forden at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A scanner could be configured to randomly sample places on the page at high-res and store that information with the high-contrast/low res scanned file.
Apple has always been about profit - but then so is every large corporation. But I think the idea behind their lock-in, as opposed to Microsoft's, is that they want to offer a neat, prepackaged, no tech-savvy required unit, that works as advertised and really does live up to "plug-and-play." Not that they are perfect, but controlling hardware and software has put them far closer. While most of us were using Microsoft and having to reboot whenever we disconnected our P/S2 keyboard, Apple was daisy-chaining their USB keyboard and mouse.
Yes, it has limited us geek types over the years, but they have given over to Intel and dual boot with Windows, so I think they are moving in the right direction.

WE have no idea what the NSA is doing and never will.
I'll give you a hint. Watch "Enemy of the State." Not that.
Maybe one can be too hairy to gather belly button lint. Or perhaps you wear only polyester? I wear lots of cotton t-shirts, I am thin, with 6-pack abs, I shower every day, and with a moderately hairy stomach I get belly button lint on a regular basis. Now, I never once wondered how or from whence it came to be in my belly button, as it was only way, way too obvious. Is this "Dr." at a community college?
I am not sure that the Vast majority of cell phone users want an iPhone.
That's not what I said. I said the vast majority of Americans think the iPhone is really neat-o. A slick design. You may only know a handful of people who voted for the other candidate, but either way there were tens of millions. No, I don't have a citation, but I'm pretty sure a very, very large number of people think the iPhone is cool, and most of them probably do not know about all the great tech gadgets in Japan. If they know what Bluetooth is I bet they only know about mono hands-free cell phone earpieces. And the only thing they tether is their dog to a tree.
Slashdotters may have the numbers to take down a major web site, but they are not an accurate cross-section of life in America. Especially the ones not in America.
Maybe we just need stop believing that we all must have a cell phone and stop buying the crap about which you are complaining? Or we all buy stripped down, inexpensive models with basic plans.
What you may not be factoring in is that the vast majority of the American cell phone-buying public thinks the iPhone is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They don't care about Linux, and they don't know what Japan is doing outside of their anecdotal awareness that the Japanese are very tech-savvy.
If you want the government to force cell phone companies and carriers to do anything it will cost you tax dollars - probably a greater amount relative to the time you will have to wait for the cell phone companies/carriers to come to your awareness in their own time.
On the other hand, I have a project which I intend to open source, and I almost wish I would be fired (with a severance package, naturally) so I would have ample time to work on it.
Ridiculous assertion. Men and women approach problems differently, but that is not too say one is better than the other. For starters, distill out the socialization aspect, and then compare. I'm sure some researcher has tried, but I have not the time to look.
I will say, however, I am often surprised by the trepidation with which women approach electronic devices. Perhaps because of a male-designed UI, or maybe learned helplessness, or it could just be that a man is more likely to push a button, pull a lever, or stick a finger in something that gives us an edge in certain areas. I don't know...
One more thing - being good with money has nothing to do with gender. In fact, I would lean towards women being more fiscally responsible.
You have missed the point entirely. The Point, not just a point. The zealots, as you call them, have just as much right as anyone to voice an opinion, and the average man on the street has the same right to believe it. Idealists from both ends of the spectrum exist, and while the overwhelming majority of Americans do not fall directly in line behind those of any ilk, we have all allowed the vocal minority to take over the conversation.
Today's secret phrase is Rational Discourse. Now we just have to figure out where Speaker Pelosi has hidden it...

Oh yeah, did you ever see "28 Days" with Sandra Bullock? Now that is some scary shit...

Wow. Just, wow.
Not to mention he was far from obscure. Take a look at his Wikipedia entry; the man was a prolific and important inventor.
The point is more to give it a chance to prove its usefulness or uselessness, and not just trash it outright.
