It means we value human life much more than animal life. Even the most damaged form of human life is considered more important than an animal.
It shouldn't be a surprise considering how we treat animals like expendable commodities.
It's better this way. I don't think we want to apply animal standards to humans.
Iran is doomed. They made the fatal mistake of threatening Israel. They will pay the same way Sadam Hussein has paid for the Scud missiles of the first Gulf War. Iran has oil. It is the missing piece between Irak and Afghanistan. When the war profiteers go back to the White House in 2012, Iran will be invaded like Irak and Afghanistan.
It's supposed to be a 2D problem yet there is not a single graph in the proof. I don't think they found the theorem using mathemical formulas alone. I wish they were more graphics to show the origin of the problem and its connection to the real world.
Actually a similar story happened for real in France in 1976. It is known as the Spaggiari affair Spaggiari and his gang dug a tunnel from the sewers to a bank vault. After two months of work, they reached the vault and stole 60 million francs worth of money.
Ask the boss to follow another suggestion from Joel Spoky: private offices.
I work in a large open space without any separation between each desk. The developers are very close to each other. It's impossible to focus more than 5 minutes in a row. The only way to get something done is to arrive very early or leave very late.
In my opinion, open spaces are bad for productivity. We're not factory workers. We need calm and intimacy to solve complex problems.
And, obviously, your phone can act as a contactless credit card -- but one with much better security because the phone has the ability to authenticate the user where the card doesn't, necessarily.
I don't think so. A smartcard is much more secure than a phone. In fact, I've worked on an NFC project where the phone was just a relay between the user and the SIM card. All the cryptographic operations were done on the card. The phone was just used as a user interface to enter the PIN code.
Chances are pornography is just a trojan horse for more control over the internet. First it's pornography, then it can be used for anything the government considers "subversive".
Electricity supply is not a market. It's part of the vital infrastructure of a country. It should be owned by those who paid for it, which is the people. Ideally it should be free.
It's not obsolete. GE relocate the activity to China to make more money. China is on the way of becoming the number one economy in the world, manufacturing everything from cheap plastic toys to sophisticated high speed trains.
At least he hasn't invaded Iran. When the Republicans come back in power you can be sure they will invade Iran to take their oil, in exchange of democracy of course.
Modern VMs use bytecode compiling, even on mobile platforms. Sun has even open sourced their latest implementation (see https://phoneme.dev.java.net/)
C doesn't require virtual memory/exception handling, but without it any application can crash the phone or dump the whole memory map.
A true mobile developer demands a native C/C++ interface on mobile devices
A C/C++ interface requires an OS supporting virtual memory and exception handling. Many low and middle end phones only have a simple real time OS with a flat memory space, and no exception support. A memory access violation usually results in a reset.
One of the advantage of a Java VM is that it requires minimal support from the OS and implements all the security required to isolate the application from the rest of the software.
Plus on modern implementations, the java code is almost equivalent to native code:
- the most frequently used methods are compiled on the fly
- the critical APIs are declared native, meaning they are written in C and not in java.
Right, as if people don't care about money. Only corruption can explain the fact that people keep on using a paying product when there is a free alternative.
Just because it is written in assembly doesn't mean it's optimized. Assembly is only useful to implement the most optimized algorithms, otherwise the result is just fast "slow code".
Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book is a great book to really understand the philosophy behind assembly optimizations.
Some patches to an open-source OS, say Linux, a PKI infrastructure (along with some HSM modules to store keys) and a processor with an integrated crypto engine and TPM module would take care of all of this.
Or they could use a smartcard. I'm sure a credit card is harder to crack than this machine.

And what's even more dramatic: another flight crashed for the same reason a few months later. See the video here

They're also covered in a jail cell.
I don't think so. Without cash it would be harder to hide corruption and evade taxes.

You should read 1984.

According to the article all the critical code paths don't use this lock so you shouldn't see any performance improvements.

Or mommy and daddy get scared and stop using eMule ;-) That's the real purpose of the law.

Transformers movies are pure fiction you know
You should stop watching the world through a TV screen. Try to socialize more and you'll see that humanity is not so bad.
How is this supposed to work if your disorder is triggered by an external stimulus, like a sound, an image or an odor?

I confirm. I bought a Dell Vostro last year and the only preinstalled crapware was vista.
