These patent guys remind me of little children who see a toy in a magazine and get in a fight over who saw it first. They also remind me of the 'frist post' guys here on Slashdot. They aren't being innovative, they aren't producing anything, and they are a general pain in the rear. They should all be taken out to the toolshed and beaten.
>Environmentalist wackos want us to turn off electricity and live in paper hats,
Did you mean "huts"? Although living in a giant paper hat might be fun, at least until it rained.
Anyway, who are these nuts? Where are they? I have read about them, but I have not seen
any evidence that these creatures still exist in the wild. I am convinced they went extinct
in the 60s or 70s. Certainly I have not found any in the environmentalist communities I
frequent.
In related news its apparently very easy to convince the media that programming voting machines is hard. I seriously doubt this was an accident. Independent testing should have flushed this bug out very early.
Does the UK actually believe that the ISPs will be more respnosible with the data than the government would? I wonder how long it will be before an ISP is caught selling that information to interested third parties.
Music does it for me too. The lyrics usually don't bother me though, but if I hear the same songs over and over it can screw me up. I like Pandora myself, but I have an MP3 backup playlist just in case I lose my internet connection.
It's a chemical laser but in solid, not gaseous, form. Put simply, in deference to you, Kent, it's like lasing a stick of dynamite. As soon as we apply a field, we couple to a state, it is radiatively coupled to the ground state. I figure we can extract at least ten to the twenty-first photons per cubic centimeter which will give one kilojoule per cubic centimeter at 600 nanometers, or, one megajoule per liter.
If you are upset about your taxes, I would recommend contacting one of your senators or perhaps your representative. Obama can not introduce a federal tax, only congress can.
So, to combat radical Islamic practices they are going to flood google, so that searches don't return as much radical content? It looks more like a shell game than actually trying to combat radical Islamic elements.
Richard Taylor is one of the proponents of this tax. He is the father of Damilola Taylor, who was killed with a knife or broken bottle. Danny and Rickie Preddie, aged 18 and 19, were ultimately convicted of the crime and sentenced to 8 years youth custody. The Taylor family was awarded £11,000 for their son's death. I can certainly understand Mr. Taylor's desire to prevent the same thing from happening to other children, but taxing video games is a pretty weak preventative measure. His target audience doesn't even pay for the video games, their parents do.
The whole system reeks. I would offer my idea of justice for Damilola's death, but I doubt it would be well received. Instead to Mr. Taylor I offer my condolences and prayers that he might find peace.
It is interesting that 120 scientists, greatly concerned about these issues would roll over and play dead. Is there not one person willing to let go of position, money or carrear for what he believes in? Maybe they don't really believe in it, but it pays the bills.
So... 93% of children with mothers that complete online surveys video play games. I would guess that mothers that complete online surveys might be more skewed to have children that play video games than mothers who don't have computers. What do you guys think?
"You even want to hire a C++ guru to help you design the application" should read "You might even want to hire a C++ guru to help you design the application."
If I were you I'd start by purchasing all of Scott Myers books on the STL (Standard Template Library) and read them twice. You'll have a much better idea where to go from there. You even want to hire a C++ guru to help you design the application.
You are so wrong it hurts. There is a system already in place for people to immigrate into the U.S. There is also a system already in place for people to come and work here. What makes you think that your imaginary system will be any different? What makes you think these people are going to pay taxes? Contact info? Fingerprints? My God man, you're living in a fantasy world!
We aren't trying to keep people from crossing the U.S. / Mexico border, which includes the drug smugglers. The U.S. government is too afraid to have a border conflict. The border patrol agents have their hands tied. They have been giving instructions to let people get away. It's a joke and it needs to be corrected.
The Berlin wall was to keep citizens from fleeing. Patrolling the U.S. Mexico border is to keep criminals out. Take your shell game somewhere else.
I'm a very conservative guy, in fact I'm 33 year old software developing, video game playing, gun toting, SUV driving, soda drinking, Jesus freak with a black belt, three daughters, a wife, and a mortgage who would like nothing more than peace on earth in my lifetime. I've played 'violent' video games since there were 'violent' video games. I don't really care for the Grand Theft Auto type of video games, but I've played a couple of them and I don't think I've been warped. I can understand people's frustration with that type of game because it glorifies crime, but guess what, so do %80 of the movies that come out of Hollywood. Almost all video games could be considered violent. Look at Pacman, that weird yellow cannibal that runs around eating 'power pellets' to make him powerful enough to kill the 'ghosts'. Just because someone enjoys playing FPS's, MMORPGs, or other violent games does not mean that they are going to pick up a gun and go on a rampage for laughs. This guy is clueless.
Property taxes in Texas are a little ridiculous, but my daughters will receive a much better public education than I did because of them. If he really wants to do something good for Texas he would be proposing that the borders be properly patrolled. Maybe he should tax illegal immigration. He certainly won't get my vote or any of the other 'conservative' people that I know.
Ninety percent of teenagers that commit suicide have parents that own toasters. Its sad, but true. You may be asking yourself what toasters and teenagers that commit suicide have in common. Well, they don't have anything in common because its just a statistic, just like the gender gap. Just because some field of study is slanted towards some race or gender does not mean that there is some weird social prejudice or conspiracy going on to keep it that way.
The only way to get more females interested in computer science is to start making females that find computer science interesting. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to become an expert at something that you don't like to do. In our generation it is mostly males that enjoy the kind of work that computer science offers, in the next generation is might be just the opposite, or it might get worse. I seriously doubt any effort we put toward changing the layout of computer science, to attract women, would be worth the cost.
On a side note I'm not sure I'd really be interested in dating / marrying a women in the same field of study as myself. Its difficult enough as it is to move out into unfamiliar territory, but if my wife didn't come from a different background I probably would not have learned to really appreciate some of the other fields of study. I was a computer science major and my wife was a dietetics major, now she is going back to school in nursing.

I would love to see Knuth's works updating for parallel algorithms. I agree with you too.

No, but I think Chris Knight did some work on it.

You can keep telling yourself that, but its pretty obviously false. The only people that would believe it are marijuana users.

That's pretty funny.
As opposed to scientiests who depend on grant money that only comes in if they say the exact opposite.
