Whether you are conscious of it or not, your brain is wired so it can recognize a pattern, silhouette, or specific color or movement much faster than it can input, decipher, and act on a string of text.
This is not true. I can read a string of text much faster than I can figure out what that blob with the lines is supposed to mean. And you know what? A string of text IS a pattern, so it's the best of both worlds.
Now granted, I don't know jack about the Koch brothers except that they are rich and conservative. To liberals, that's reason enough to hate them so those are the only real attacks I've seen leveled against them. They are rich and they've supported some conservative causes.
Shouldn't that be enough? Conservative policies are harmful to most people in the country, and the Koch brothers use their wealth to exert disproportionate influence to get those harmful policies implemented. If they were conservative, but only had as much influence as the common man, it wouldn't be so bad. Or if they were rich, but didn't use that wealth to fund organizations like the Heritage Foundation, whose influence has contributed greatly to the decline of this country over the past 30 years.
Well, I've showed how they are charitable, pay the highest taxes in the country and even support one of our favorite shows, Nova.
Thanks, but no thanks. We shouldn't have to rely on rich patrons to get decent quality public TV. The only reason we have to in the first place is because of conservatives cutting government support for quality educational TV.
Your argument basically boils down to "If you go to Carnegie Hall, you're in favor of robber barons". That's quite plainly bullshit. We have other ways to fund the things we value without giving all our money to the ultra rich and hoping they spend a tiny fraction of it on us.
I'd love to find something truly multi-user... Multi user in the sense that not every user would have access to all of the passwords stored in the database.
Why should more than one user ever be able to access a password? One user, one account, one password, never disclosed to anyone under any circumstances whatsoever. If you need multiple users, that's what multiple user accounts and permissions are for. Anything else is just begging for trouble.
Traffic is a result of ( volume of cars) > (capacity of road).
It's not that simple. The number of cars on the road depends on the average speed of the cars. The slower cars go, the longer they'll be sitting on the road taking up space.
But as the number of cars increases past a certain point, the average speed decreases. People get nervous driving in tight formation, for good reason. This leads to roads never actually being used at capacity.
If instead we had driverless cars that would form into packs that move at the speed limit, even when the road is nearly saturated, we'll get more cars off the road faster thereby reducing congestion.
iD is also a subsidiary of ZeniMax. The game featured in the article was produced by iD, but is now published on the Bethesda website. This indicates to me that the iD name is at least somewhat deprecated.
I think there are a number of fundamental problems. One is that textbook selection in K-12 education in the US tends to be extremely bureaucratic and top-down
So there's one fundamental problem. Government corruption.
Which is exactly what we need to do. We need an entire independent arm of the sciences dedicated to confirming established results. This is something that needs to occur separate from the pressure to come up with novel results to please grant reviewers.
Radiation will be especially bad for children, since any mutation their cells acquire will be passed on to all daughter cells. For a growing child that will be a lot more cells than for adults who are only replacing their cells.
The summary is confused. RTCW is an FPS from the early aughts. Castel Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein are the two Apple II games that inspired Wolf 3d. Those are available on the big 3 6502 computers (Apple, Commodore, Atari), and on DOS.
They are great games. Pull out your favorite 8-bit and play.
All the market is is a tool. Sometimes it's not the best tool for the job. This is particularly the case when the market reaches a solution that is locally optimal, but not globally. Closed proprietary environments are one such case.
Interest in hobbyist computers is at a 20 year high. It's been 30 years since our favorite 8 bit PCs were current. People love new electronics that can replicate or interact with old electronics. The Apple II CFFA was sold out before it was even built. Same for the 1541U-II for the C64. Every time you turn around someone is selling a new reproduction like the minimig or c-one. The guys at AtariAge are planning an entirely new expansion module for the Atari 7800.
If all these people can make it work, why can't Heathkit?
Let's not be naive here. NK is a bandit state that follows and discards laws and regulations on a whim and in a seemingly irrational manner to an outside observer
As the ARM version of Windows 8 is meant to be used on lighter, less powerful devices like tablets, there's a good reason to maintain some quality control and put limits.
Yes, exactly I should maintain some control and be able to put some limits on what Microsoft does on my tablet. This is well past those limits.
Yes, the UK definition is even worse than you'd think. Anti-social to me means anti-society. In the UK, it means "acting in a manner that has "caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household".
If that were the case in the US, I'd bring the entire US congress to court for antisocial behavior.

Can you tile two windows for easy comparison?
I don't understand. Why can't you just click on the script itself and have it run, just like every other GUI for the past 30 years?

What exactly does an illiterate person do with a PC?
How is that any different than popping open a console with a hotkey and using tab completion?
1) That's what sudo is for.
2) That sounds like a database with a broken permissions system.

The downfall didn't start until the 80s, with its massive tax cuts, deregulation, explosion of Wall Street gambling, and culture of greed.
In other words, Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the worst thing to ever happen to this country.
But research just doesn't generate the same number of jobs that a manufacturer can.
Research can provide as many jobs as you have funds.

The West Virginia Office of Technology warned that the purchase was 'grossly oversized' for the intended uses, but the purchase went through anyway.
Ok, so how do we hold the people who authorized these purchases accountable? Why isn't this considered fraud?
