King calling for Snowden's head? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, or in this case, people that live in Ireland shouldn't get involved in the IRA (completely justified in their actions according to King).
Advanced calculus/linear algebra is a must for game engine development. I try to read articles about rotating 3D objects.... *WHOOSH* over my head. But I've done well for 13 years doing IT client/server programming and just looking up the occasional algorithm for lat/long distance calculations, permutations, etc. Still need to be able to translate math formulae into a computer language though.
Right now, Monsanto's GM wheat is RoundUp resistant, but how long before it requires RoundUp or something else. Monsanto has been working on a terminator gene that would kill the plant if a chemical is not applied at regular intervals. So that gene, through cross-pollination, is spread to non-GM wheat. Followed by a shortage of the gene-therapy spray or chemical and famine becomes a very real possibility. http://www.monsanto.com/newsviews/Pages/terminator-seeds.aspx - Paraphrase "Monsanto would never ever use this technology... unless it became profitable... we are using it now and not telling anyone."
I could set up a publishing site on the web and have it funded using online ads. I'll call it TestTube.com. Some material will be age/education level restricted.
Probably safer than giving me a paper print-out maybe? I need to see how it's made to decide if I should spend the cash on it.
Oh course now I can just go to the Chinese and get a cheap knock-off.
Sure it smells a little funny and pulls a little to the left, but hey, my country is on a budget.
Hitler pretty much targeted Jews also physically/mentally challenged, little people, etc, the drains on society that suck up welfare but don't produce anything.
That was his opinion not mine.
Also the Jews weren't a drain, they had money and land he needed to reboot the broken German economy into a military industrial complex.
A flu could target the latter, maybe because of a compromised immune system, but not the former.
Every time something points to life (ahem, bacteria life) on Mars, there's a group of scientists that start doing back flips to say it's natural crystal formations, complex chemical reactions, etc. So it's nice, but I figure even if they find a planet with obvious city lights and an atmosphere filled with methane and CFCs, it will just result in another wave of doubters saying it's caused by naturally occurring phenomenon. So what's the reason for NASA even bothering? It's not just a way to raise public interest and funding? No, that's just cynical of me.
So, they get a bunch of young smart people in a room with some smarmy guy and maybe bimbos? maybe energy drinks?
Then they just ask "Hey, give us some ideas so we can become rich!" Then the smartest idea guy, gets like a t-shirt and maybe like an X-box or something?
Cause if so, that's the most brilliantly evil thing I've ever heard.
D-Wave is probably a scam, but I work in IT, almost the entire industry is built on scams.
Scott Aaronson comes off as an egotistical man-child that is just angry he's not directly involved in all this.
It's still love - love in this match.
Why surprisingly? Cause Family Guy is all fart jokes...right?
Those ones with Stewie and the nerdy stuff like Star Trek and Star Wars are actually the writings of Seth Green who's known for his Phd. in Astrophysics and action figure collection.
You're thinking of the "gorilla in the corner". "Seeing pink elephants" is a euphemism for drunken hallucination, caused by alcoholic hallucinosis or delirium tremens. [Wiki] Unless you meant Putin is a vodka swilling Russian who's off his rocker.
No, P2P sharing is still illegal: http://www.musicbymailcanada.com/privcopy.html
If you borrow your friend's CD and make a copy that's fine, but if you rip that CD (or MP3 from iTunes) and share that copy online, it's illegal.
That's what they are talking about in the article above. Canada has sane laws in regards to copyright, but it's not free-for-all anarchy either.

Software engineering? We don't need no stink'in software engineering!
Cause that's where some really embarrassing shit is stored about me.

Greetings fellow oldster. :)
Very similar development path only I went from Pascal to Perl (early dot com boom language) and than Java.
isn't that just Taylor Swift with a dye job? Is this another Chris Gaines thing?

Thank you, I +1 you 78k.
I've just been adding Cheap Whore to my abilities section. I'll try your method.
Well SlashDot's motto use to be "News for Nerds"... now it's blank? Maybe it should be "Vaguely geeky stuff that happened at some point."
