Yes, if the council screws up maintenance, they can just sell it on to somebody who can handle it. They don't need to be protected from themselves, if it doesn't work they can sell it.
One Kanji is generally one word, same as Chinese. But Japanese words are like, 10 syllables each. I can't think of any other language where "no" is a three syllable word.
1. Guy/girl becomes an alcoholic, dodges the draft, gets arrested for DOI, and otherwise acts like a complete no-hoper for the first 30 years of his life. 2. Gets covered by local news (at that time). 3. Google digitises that news. 4. Now President of the United States (then guy/girl) gets elected for a second term.
Fine. Vigilante action. We DoS the fuck out of any companies advertised by spammers. Sure, spammers could *theoretically* spam for innocent (competitor) companies, but I'm not worried about a bit of collateral damage. The harm-vs-benefit of being in a spam email will move towards zero, at which point nobody pays for spammers any more. Which is what we were trying to achieve.

Should IT Unionize?
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Unionization is very important in broken markets. If there is one steel mill in town, and it's the only big employer, it can be exploitive. IT jobs are so liquid that an uncompetitive employer will not retain any staff. IT is not a broken market, as there is a lot of competition from both sides. Unions would just introduce more complexity and middlemen.
When you go to the doctor, you respect his professional opinion. You don't tell him how long the surgery should take, or what tools to use, or how much it will cost.
Russia is not the same nation as it was in the '70s and '80s. It has reformed its economy to allow capitalist development, it's riding high on an oil price hike, it is no longer tied up in ideological battles with the U.S. and NATO, or with China, and can can basically do whatever the hell it wants. It's lost a bit of its technological edge, but has imported a lot of U.S. know-how.
Wait, what is a scripting language? Is it an interpreted language? Does it need inbuilt OS and string functionality (which Python needs to import, so it isn't a scripting language). If it needs to be flexible and dynamic, aren't Erlang and Lisp also scripting languages?
What about having it shaped as a Mobius strip? It would be easy, as long as it twists near the stone setting (a twist on the main band would be uncomfortable), and the 2 sides being one is kind of symbolic.
It happens in any place where IT is an essential part, and an optional extra. If IT is essential you need meetings and accountability, and no feature gets a cost-benefit analysis by anyone with a clue because all of them are "essential".
There was plenty we had to learn, after the moon landing. The internet, the Poincare conjecture, nanomaterials, social networking... How about warning them to cut down CO2 emissions?
He does seem a bit of an activist - trying to make the government solve peoples problems. A billion dollars to snoop on p2p sounds like big government to me. On the other hand, he has done a lot to protect people from violence, both domestic and abroad. Intervention is a good stance to take on violent crimes, but a bad way to run the internet.
The big problem is that it's got Java in it's name, when it's closer to perl or Python. Static programmers don't know how to use it, and dynamic programmers don't want to tough it.
Strength to weight ratio is inversely proportional to height, which is partly why ants can lift 100 times their body weight. Smaller athletes have better agility, but not as much raw power.
And if you ever need to look up information in the real world (and not just to get a piece of sheepskin), then those textbooks will be a great resource.
Speaking of modules, textbooks are a lot easier to integrate than software, expect perhaps postmodernism. Deconstructionism Forever, anyone?
I'm surprised this has happened so quickly though, I would have thought academic journals would have been opened up first, since academics do all the writing, then volunteer as reviewers, then pay for a subscription. I guess that MENSA already proved that you can make money off smart people if you really know what you are doing.
In defense of the 'nutter', nuclear power is so expensive it's not really worth investing in, unless you are planning to build some nukes.
Japan is the only country that I can think of that has nuclear power, and doesn't have (or want) nuclear arms, but Japan is a special case (US investment, tiny area makes nuclear the only option, China will go for a 'preemptive strike' at the first hint of an arms race).
SSD has won most of the phone and iPod tier. Ultra-portables will go next. Then laptops, appliance desktops, gamer desktops, then finally business desktops. This might take 5 years. Only then will servers (which is the market for 20k disks) start to go SSD. 5 years is a long time.
Google might find a use for SSD (using caching and stuff), but your average business running an Oracle database to keep track of their business information wants read-write (not read) performance, which is what these things can do.
Google search is not integrated with much, so it's not really a monopoly, people just choose to use it. Compare the level of integration most business have with google (i.e. google taskbar installed on a browser) to the level of integration that a win32 app has with windows. I suppose Wine has changed that a bit, but this was a bit effort. If you don't like google, you can use cuil, or yahoo, or live, or any other search tool.
GMail is a bit different, but I'm pretty sure I could rig up a python script to back up my gmail account, and move it onto a different server, if I was unhappy with their service. It's really not a big issue, there just isn't any better service (I did try MobileMe, but wasn't really blown away).

Or how useful it will be for attracting funding for science. Hate the game, not the player.

Is "useful data" a euphemism for "give us more money"?

Don't trust them. Don't trust anyone. Just send your payments over in cold hard cash. Circulated quarters are best.

No midnight snacks for Grandpa, either.

I'm sorry David, I can't do that.
