I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that's it's a fair one.
Arguably, people would probably be happier by being formatted into being happy, so that could a better system.
But I don't want my government to claim to be good or to make me happy, I just want truth, fairness and liberty, which are concepts orthogonal to good or bad.
Again, by choosing these, I don't mean to pretend they're good, I just mean to arbitrarily choose them, and nothing more.
There are different systems to make life in a community work, indeed. What I meant is providing a fair environment, that is to say an environment without bias. If it is neutral and unbiased, then it becomes quite hard for it to make anything "bad", whatever the morale dictating what "bad" is.
Might as well buy a Tilera if it's for research... The only good thing about x86 is that it runs legacy Windows programs, but who cares about that in research?
So, the government asks "do you want the Australian Government to block access to things only sickos would want to see like child porn?" and most people say "yes".
Quite more likely, they ask, "are you ok with the Australian Government blocking access to websites which do not reside in Australia but which content is illegal according to Australian laws?", and they reply "yes" because it makes perfect sense to do so. Now why they filter things that are nowhere near illegal or why they can add sites without going through the judicial system that would determine whether it is illegal or not is beyond me.
It is a light textmode player that does everything I want. In fact, I originally wrote a textmode frontend for XMMS/Audacious simply because it was more convenient to use that way. Later it turned out to have other uses, for example controlling my media machine via ssh from my work computer.
Or you could just use mpd, which not only allows managing your playlist and library using a network protocol (various clients exist, some with text UIs, other with graphical ones), but can stream your music to the network as well.
The article notes that the first calculations on electroweak stars pegged them as an intermediate stage on the way to a black-hole collapse, lasting at most a second. The new calculations suggest that electroweak stars could persist for millions of years.
As always with physics, you have a pretty huge margin of error...
Basically, the conclusion is that some people are better than the majority of other people at certain things. Who would have thought? Oh and those guys that are better are probably better because they have more *experience* with it, so if you train, you can become better too!
Well the middle screen is the real thing, the ones on the sides are just bonuses to see more of the in-game scenery (which could be a strategical advantage).
On the contrary, studies show that speeders reduce traffic jams. There was an article about that on./ some time ago.
What do you think is causing that "grouping up"? It's not speeders. It's people that are not going fast enough, that are wasting space (space is the limiting factor on roads, so all those people that waste space in front of them mean less cars able to drive) or worse, your typical person that still doesn't understand he's not supposed to be in a faster lane if he's not going significantly faster than the ones in the slower lane, and is thus hampering the whole purpose of faster lanes: taking over.
What a good idea: let's reduce the speed people can go at, make roads thinner and harder to drive in, make people lose more time in commuting and spend more money on petrol while polluting our suburbs! That way, not only will we reduce efficiency, but also increase traffic and danger (which was supposed to be reduced by reducing the speed...).
People need to understand the best way to deal with cars is to allow them to drive simply and efficiently in right lanes (i.e. motorways).
there's a very large group that don't seem to care because it doesn't affect them yet
What the hell are you talking about? Everyone cares about global warming.
and (if true) everyone is going to pay for it in the future.
What's with the "if true"? It's widely recognized.
Are you related to the usian government or something? They're the only ones, worldwide, spreading such FUD about global warming because they can't be assed to reduce their emissions.
I just started a few months ago a job where I'm maintaining an old embedded system (an isdn gateway, old technology) that is supposedly written in C++, but is actually bad C. It has no comments and no documentation of any kind. Indentation is broken beyond repair. A lot of functions are several thousand lines long, while most files are in tens of thousands of lines.
All I needed to deal with it was generate tags. Once you've got the tags, you can jump to a declaration or definition easily anywhere inside the code base. That, combined with grepping all the files of the project for the right strings or regular expressions (the system does a lot of logging, so I can just grep for the log message to find the relevant piece of code), makes the job doable.
But then, it's still a boring job with little opportunity to shine. I'm personally leaving whenever I can afford to move again.

Maybe if you correctly used Last-Modified and Etag headers with a 304 Not Modified response, you could avoid a significant part your bandwidth usage.

Why not buckypaper (sheet of carbon nanotubes) instead of this?
And why should it be the government responsibility to dictate morals? They should just provide a practical framework to make life in a community work.
They're using clusters made of "on-the-shelf" hardware.
The 48-core Intel CPU is certainly not that.

You mean that Apple is *more* dangerous than Microsoft, as it is lurking in our life as a "cool" and "trendy" thing.

You realize the problems are likely *due* to that consumer-grade hardware and not the OS right?
Don't blame the OS for the hardware...
That's not a cure, that's a vaccine.
6 is stupid.
Either go for 3 or 9.

She's a woman, what did you expect? To actually have your hello world program output hello world?
Why post on slashdot then?

Legal experts usually have little knowledge with such things, however. They very often unnecessarily advise caution to hide their lack of expertise.
The W3C is long dead already, the WHATWG is the way to go for the future.
Or, easier yet,
1 Tg = 10^12 g
1 kg = 10^3 g
1 ton = 10^3 kg = 10^6 g
so
1 Tg = 10^(12-6) tons = 10^6 tons
7 Tg = 7 * 10^6 tons
No idea where the 1.1 million thingy came from. Maybe some funny definition of ton.
