Okay, so the Chilean ISP is not to mess with your traffic in any way, or even look at it. Yet, they must filter porn and ensure your privacy and security? Idiots.
Under my design, cellulose is not grown using bacteria, but rather using plants, such as flax, from which a puffy cotton can be collected. These fibers can be pulled and spun together to make threads, using a process that I call, for lack of a better word, spinning. This thread being thus procured is ready for another process which I call weaving, on a device called a loom, which creates a criss-cross grid of threads to form fabric. Fabric can be cut and assembled together using sewing to make garments.
It's quite far fetched compared to the bacteria, but shows a lot of promise.
The question is not how many feet of screen you need, but what kind of after-market retina do you need to implant to take advantage of this. (And does your current optic nerve have the bandwidth, not to mention the back end behind it?):)
"'ll tell you who cares. The fans who can't get a ticket unless they pay 10 times the original price because all the tickets were bought up by scalpers 45 seconds after they went on sale."
You don't seem to understand this free market thing. See if these scalpers buy these tickets, they are taking on a risk. Once the event is over, those tickets become garbage. So the scalpers are motivated to get rid of all their tickets (or at least get rid of enough tickets so that they make a profit). If the show is about to start, you have a lot of bargaining power against the scalper. If you walk away, then he's stuck with a worthless piece of paper; he will think twice before demanding 10X the original price! Scalpers sometimes ditch tickets for less than what they paid, because it's better than nothing.
If people are in fact willing to pay 10 times the original price, then it means that the tickets were underpriced with regard to their true market value.
Lastly consider that if a show is sold out, the re-selling of tickets is prohibited, and everyone obeys the rules, then you cannot get a seat at ANY price whatsoever!
What's the difference? A contract is a property that can be bought and sold. For instance, look at futures contracts traded on options exchanges. Or assumable mortgages. We can regard a ticket as a certificate which shows that the bearer holds a contract with regard to a seat (often, a particular seat) at a particular event.
IT claims that every green job "Every “green job” created with government money in Spain over the last eight years came at the cost of 2.2 regular jobs, and only one in 10 of the newly created green jobs became a permanent job, says a new study released this month. The study draws parallels with the green jobs programs of the Obama administration."
I don't need to define "decency" for my argument to be valid. I accept as a premise that there are certain words that are understood in our culture as being indecent for certain purposes, like mainstream broadcasting. My only point is that all reasonable substitutes for $#*! in the given context are such indecent words. For instance "Hug my dad" is not a reasonable reading, because the word "hug" does not need to be replaced with non-alphabetic glyphs for publication.
You may be right that indecency should be allowed. But in an environment where decency is allowed, there is no need for bleeps or $#*!.
The decency's group argument basically boils down to the opinion that coverage devices like beeps or $#*! do not eliminate indecency; i.e. that the actual indecency should be removed rather than covered up.
I tend to agree that the indecency is still there because the missing word can easily be recovered from context.
You completely missed my point. The word "flag" in "flag my dad" does not require to be covered by non-alphabetic symbols like @#$% for publication. Why would that ever be written instead of just "flag"? Therefore, "flag" it cannot possibly be one of the intended readings for such symbols by any reasonable interpretation.
The $#*! stands in place of a word, in a particular context. It's the semantics of the underlying expression that is indecent, not the $#*! itself.
Let's ask this question: how can you fill in the blank in ``____ my dad!'' such that the sentence is decent, and yet the word filled in requires to be covered up with $#*!.
The difference between C++ and Python isn't simply that C++ has a more complicated syntax.
In C++, the kids will have to wrestle with the static type system and the lack of automated memory management. (Problems that can be partially overcome with a lot of "greenspunning" that requires significant C++ experience).
The number one factor in performance is the choice of algorithms. A Python program with good algorithms will beat a C++ program which uses poor algorithms, or which does stupid things like copy aggregate objects in order to avoid memory management difficulties.
It's sad that the list of languages includes only immature dynamic languages du jour like Python and excludes mature dynamic languages that have good compilers. Bad education!
As a musician, I confront this problem regularly: each music piece has its own fingering challenges. To play the piece, you must choose a fingering. Until you rehearse that fingering, you can't always be sure it is the best one, especially in relation to what comes before and after. Sometimes you have to go back and revise fingerings long after you know a piece of music. I've successfully replaced fingerings in music pieces that I have known for more than ten years. Persistence is key.
To achieve a fingering change, I have to focus and force myself to use the new fingering when that passage comes up. Since the new fingering is awkward at first, I slow down. Or completely sacrifice the tempo: i.e. come to a halt before the new fingering passage and then play through it slowly. Also, I practice the passage separately, over and over again, including a few notes of surrounding context.
The old fingering is banished; I cease to play it, except by accident.
Eventually the new fingering will set in, replacing the old.
I think if you want to change your typing fingering, you have to do the same. Slow down and force yourself to use the desired fingering. Banish the old one. From now on, don't answer an e-mail, type a command-line or edit program code using the old fingering. Go as slowly as is necessary to place each finger the way you want, even if you are reduced to a snail's pace. If you persist, you will develop speed once again.
Also, maybe get some typing exercises and practice a little bit using the new fingering. Say, 15 to 20 minutes per day.
Hire some hitmen to kill the key people behind the patent troll?
Seriously, 250 million, or 25 grand? Doh?
They could so get away with it. Patent trolls have numerous enemies. Everyone hates them.
There is no way the motive could be uniquely pinned on anyone. There are ways to move the money to make it impossible to trace. A large corporation has its money flows divided in so many ways, you can easily scrape together the cash from a hit from multiple sources without any traceability.
Meaning is not a key component of syntax.

If you're staying in a hotel room, are you entitled to privacy there? Can that room be searched without a warrant, because it's not your home? Curious.
Awesome! They have almost reinvented lexical closures, etc. In another ten years this will be as awesome as using continuations for UI navigation in a web framework, which was done yesterday.
Idiotic plan that is doomed to fail, and take 30 million with it (if not more).
Firstly, there are countless programs in use which are hard coded to use TCP. You don't have the source code for all of them. They make calls to the socket API, with hard-coded values to use IPv4 TCP. Even if you swizzle these at the shared library or kernel level to use a TCP replacement, it better have identical semantics in all of the calls, or the programs will break.
Like, first prove that a network of significant size can be fully converted to IPv6, which exists already! Then talk about grand visions about a whole new kind of network.
The users will hate this incompatible network and just probably just tunnel TCP and IP through it, which will basically turn it into a glorified VPN.
Users don't want a new kind of internet that doesn't work with their existing operating systems and applications. (Even if they are in the military). You can order the military men to use whatever you want, but you can't order productivity out of them.
We already have secure sockets, VPNs and all that stuff.
About dynamic bandwidth allocation: it's naive to think that you need a whole new kind of internet for that. This can be handled in the backbone by intelligent routing devices over the existing protocols.
Deep packet inspection can associate traffic to a subscriber and apply the appropriate quality of service policy to allocate bandwidth. Individual virtual circuits can be similarly identified, associated to a subscriber and subject to prioritization, in real time, as they come up and down.
Instead of putting a pig operating system to sleep on the main board, while a daughter card runs Linux, it's a lot simpler to just run Linux on the main board.

the obvious fix is to stop being a regime that is threatened by political unrest!
If America, et al, are using Facebook to promote political unrest, why are they not worried that this political unrest will backfire on them?
Chinese government logic at work.

The green program in Spain (solar power, etc) costs more than the energy it produces.
The piggies will have to find some other government trough. So of course, off they go to Obama, where else!

You're going to school to study, presumably.
The last time I was in Germany, a few years ago, smoking was allowed everywhere, including the terminal of the Frankfurt airport.
Thus, it would be ironic to be measuring the air quality around the airport, while the actual airport customers are being gassed in the terminal.
Doing some Googling, it seems like Germany is smartening up and imposing smoking bans.
