This is the big flaw in people's desire to have flying cars. Why would I want a flying car if I can't fly it anywhere I want? That defeats the purpose.
How sad that its a big deal that the shuttles are meeting while switching buildings on the ground. If the space program in this country got the proper attention, we'd be making a big deal about two shuttles in space at once meeting with each other.
You don't seem to be too new here. He is leeching off the fame of the first troll. You know the phrase "Too Long Didn't Read"? And also how you can carried away in the links of wikipedia far from where you started? Well the same thing happens on Slashdot. People are more likely to read comments near the beginning. So you if reply to the first post, your post will stay near the top. I figured everyone knew that. I used to get the first post quite often with something witty because I'm a subscriber and see posts as much as 45 minutes before they hit the site, but I've gotten lazy and don't care about Slashdot as much anymore. But when I would get first post, people would "leech" of my post with different subjects, hoping to get a bit of fame. Its really all quite silly, not sure why we don't spend more time doing something more useful. (Oh no, someone is wrong on the internet, now I have to stay up and debate them til the wee hours of the morning)
It's not exactly like that, and it's not exactly new. First you have to pass a rigorous background check, the same one I passed to work for an airline.
Yeah, exactly, you have a pass a rigorous background check that will ensure that under no circumstances can you be bribed or threatened into bringing a bomb onto a plane by threatening or giving a pile of money to your family. First rule of security. Treat all people the same. Anyone getting special treatment is a huge liability.
I agree, but still this is a good start. My daughter has started to ask me questions like "how old is the earth?", etc. and to show this I made a series of timelines. I thought about making something like this app. Glad to see someone else did. My daughter really enjoyed the "Scale of the Universe" app, so hopefully she'll like this too and it will be an effective teaching tool.
What's really funny is that Randall's alt text on this comic is strangely prophetic:
"To anyone who understands information theory and security and is in an infuriating argument with someone who does not (possibly involving mixed case), I sincerely apologize."
I haven't had time to look into it completely, but when you have konsole set to unlimited scrollback mode, it will create files in/tmp/kde-username/konsole*.tmp that have your scrollback buffer. It is encoded somehow, but its there. I'm not sure if its encrypted or not. I found out about it because when I talked with the libvte developer (Behdad), he said that he looked at the code in Konsole to see how they did it before writing the implementation in libvte.
I wasn't sued, but I was one of the first to receive a cease and desist letter from them back in 1998. I was a student at Indiana University and ran a server there in my dorm room which hosted one of my friend's website who had copyrighted "top 40" mp3s on it. Other than the university lightly punishing me, nothing really came of it.
I think he's trying to say that its not necessary to say alien worlds, just say worlds. He does kinda have a point, saying alien worlds makes it sound like we're not one of the 100 billion, which we are.
If they taught them recent computer history, like the last 10-20 years or so, then they would feel closer to the action and see where their place is to jump on the train. Teaching 1950s computing is likely to just lose them because the technology is so different.
I remember back in the 90s when I was first learning HTML and there were several articles talking about how the web was not sematic enough and I didn't really get the point. Now I totally get it. While trying to make good examples for climagic on how to interface with the web, its just so much trouble. Even with all the recent focus on good web standards, web developers do stuff that just hinder people who want to scrape data. We really need some good commands for retrieving data from web documents, especially now those that load their data through AJAX style calls.
Those are two parts of the triangle. If you also want it to have it fast, then you're simply being unreasonable. You're probably also one of the people complaining about GoDaddy supporting SOPA. Don't you see that these are all related? Find a hosting provider that knows what they are doing, reliable and pay a little more for it. Don't complain when your server costs more than your dinner.

Yep. Its basically no better than those eBay sellers that try to sell open source apps like Blender, Gimp and Audacity like its commercial software.
This is not Commodore, this is not the Amiga. This is a fucking bastard.

Weird, you're right. I thought I had clicked on the shuttle article.

These claims are actually not true. Results that show otherwise forthcoming.

You're just saying that because you don't read climagic

On climagic I laid it out in less than 140 characters.
You can read my thoughts here about this:

If we're going to fix this problem, we need to stop acting like we're not at fault.

"good, inexpensive"

I think its an obvious parody. I do know that whoever the author of this book is, they will turn out to be the villain by the end.
Having worked in IT for 15 years, I can tell you that most people don't listen to Angry Nerds either.
Ok, that's easy to just casually say. Now prove it. If its really that easy, do your duty and show everyone.
Sorry, that last one got messed up:
