you're right that it's freedom of speech. but what is happening is as follows, the team selecting the models selects the hottest, slimmest models, then from those, they select only the skinniest, then from those, the skinniest until they get the one they want.
then they explain this is how you should look, so girls think, oh ok!! then go about getting to look that thin.
the agency then selects more models, but now they are all two sizes smaller than the last time, rinse and repeat.
so whilst it's obviously free speech, the girls are not forced to do anything, I would actually term it coercive speech, as in they are doing some kind of natural selection on body weight but the optimisation factor is the bank balance and not the health of the girls in question.
so whilst it's correct, it's not exactly a nice thing to happen and whilst your 12, you find they often defer reasoning to people who "allegedly" know better, i.e. the modelling agencies....that might not be such a clever idea, no matter how free the speech might be.
and as such have produced much of the best tv ever produced.
so it's a price worth paying and well worth it if you want to compare against the networks paying millions to people probably not worth it, or endless friends&co re-runs....
"but if more developers agreed with me"......lets stop you there. Reason being is that less developers agree with you as your following premise isn't true.
yes and you know what, it was a fantastic golden age of browser development, you realise how much development and improvements happened in those years? you wanna think about that the next time you write an ajax handler, if we took the w3c approach, we'd have waited years more to get what we got when microsoft took the "fuck you" attitude and just DID things, got them done, sure they make mistakes but fixed them and then out of nowhere, ajax appeared.....
the old EEE technique is often derided as a negative, but to be honest, at least they improved the system a couple of inches further down the road and yeah mistakes were made, but tbh browser development rocketed forward and if they never did it we'd have had to wait years more for a committee of slow pokes (I'm looking at you w3c!!) to finally full their fat fingers out of their arses and do their fucking job.
you know the situation, where your waiting in a queue and the guy in front of you, is pondering his options, checking what they need, asking stupid questions, etc, etc and you just feel like rushing to the front, shouting it to him, cutting through the crap and telling him what he really needs to hear and giving him the short and sweet that the clerk couldn't do for fear of losing his job? you've seen it on TV if not in real life I'm sure.
Well, thats what I feel like sometimes whenever somebody says "w3c"
yeah ok, so lets all sit around and do nothing for ten years instead, cause thats working out so well isn't it?[/sarcasm]
if you make a bad decision, thats a pity, just put your hands up, correct the mistake get on with your life, stop thinking you have the carry the weight of the world on your shoulders each time you make a decision, thats why we're 10 years later and CSS is still a pile of shit instead of being constantly revised and improved. For example, I _STILL_ cannot vertically align content, it's 2011 right? I mean, guys, make a fucking decision, but stop holding back the entire world because you don't want a make a mistake
fail, but fail fast and then correct fast.
your approach by requiring a years old review means that in 2050, I might be able to vertically align content, my approach means that I'll be able to do it next week and yes some mistakes will happen, but at least if you have an attitude of constantly upgrading the system, by 2050, I'll be doing things you'll never believe are possible.
so if I had to choose between 50 years of ups and downs, or 50 years mostly consisting of waiting around for a bunch of dicks to make a fucking decision, I'd choose my way every time.
why not just extend it and screw the committee? why is it nowadays that anytime anybody gets a good idea they have to build a committee or a foundation, or a "working group"
what happens to just doing things and worrying about the adoption later. I mean, if it's truely amazing, people will come onboard because t hey want the benefits also....
why not just make it available, let people build it into the browser if you want, after all, just assign a mime-type, a dll someplace and bingo you're websites can support it, adding image formats or video formats is hardly a chore OR IF IT IS a chore, well, it's 2011 and if adding a new image format to a browser IS a chore, you didn't do a very good job of writing that web browser.
JUST DO IT!!!! stop fucking about, JUST DO IT and worry about bullshit that nobody really cares about afterwards!
whilst you might like to think most people believe what you have said here, you'd be wrong and pretty much everybody that I've spoken to do not believe what you've said, therefore using todays metaphors, you're the 1%
most likely everybody has the about two dozen people who they know are literal biblicans.....
you see!! it's working, I'm weeding out the crap, shit, hacky programmers and only the only good programmers will be left. So in a way, I'm completely happy with your "fuck you" it means I don't have to deal with your bullshit crap code and now I get more time to spend with professionals!
it's a win-win situation!
I don't even use python and I can see the benefits of eliminating coders "style" preferences and I use the term "style" very very lightly as often it's masquerading the term "code quality"
the problem is most likely not yourself, or me for that matter, maybe me and you do things in a consistent and readable way with the future in mind.
the problem is the masses of shite coders who product endless amounts of crap, badly formatted, barely readable code, EVEN AFTER you ran it through a pretty printer, oh thats even if the PP program actually grokked the input in the first place and didn't crap out.
if you work on your own, do what you want, if you work with a team, I dont give a flying fuck what your preferences are, the team leader defines the style and you follow it, or fuck off. Python makes this easier by abstracting even the team leader from making a bad choice, the language defines it, you follow it. Nobody can argue over style anymore! it's brilliant! I wish PHP had the same system.
I'm so sick and tired of this linux dumbass mentality of "do it your own way" as what it really means is masses and masses of duplicated crap nobody can use so they try to create a better hammer, ultimately failing because they are as bad as the rest.
I see code that is badly formatted as a reflection of the programmer, messy code == messy programmer == bad quality programmer. Fact is, if you can't keep your shit looking good and beautiful, chances are you're just a two-bit-hacker who isn't worth wasting time on.
So if I _NEED_ a PP to read your code, you should pick up your game and realise how bad you are at your job/hobby
well, since it's such a small percentage, why not turn it on, let those sites fail, then when the owners of those sites complain, tell them to upgrade their shite servers and whilst their at it to get with the effing program.
1-2% of the servers in the world is enough to hold the world to ransom technologically is a stupidly simple problem to solve. why should we all suffer because of a few holdouts? cut the cord already!
yeah, because solar power is a raging success isn't it, how many years away are we from perfecting that technology again? it's almost like the cold fusion of the environmentalist lobbist
you're a retard.........I have to admit, this comment was quite hard to write, I wrote and deleted it 5 times before I settled on those three words......
In europe I doubt many people will care much, I'll write my software without fear of software patents and just scrub off the USA from my list of places to visit, then when the legal letter arrives with "you must stop using our " I'll throw it in the bin and carry on with my life. If you live in a truely free country, you don't tend to care what other legal systems say, what matters, is what your country says...
I love europe sometimes, although I hope that they don't change the whole "patents are not valid in europe" thingy.....and lets hope I don't bump into any "rendition crews":)
What I really dislike is blanket statements like this which are practically impossible to prove and just serve to hype up what is being said, albeit to fellow nerds who will recognise the significance, fake or otherwise, of what is being said.....
how would you possibly know the algae wasn't there 800,000 years ago, just there is no evidence to suggest it, I mean, there isn't any evidence I went to france back in 1995, but I did, are you going to sit there and tell me I didnt go?.........morons....
Slashdot Mirror
why? because we can.....universal way to justify anything, I doubt this situation is any different.
under what conditions would you consider storing a password as clear text not a bad idea?
you're right that it's freedom of speech. but what is happening is as follows, the team selecting the models selects the hottest, slimmest models, then from those, they select only the skinniest, then from those, the skinniest until they get the one they want.

yeah, but thats not my problem....
well in this case, she's definitely dead.....
and as such have produced much of the best tv ever produced.
so it's a price worth paying and well worth it if you want to compare against the networks paying millions to people probably not worth it, or endless friends&co re-runs....
it's your right to disagree of course....
"but if more developers agreed with me"......lets stop you there. Reason being is that less developers agree with you as your following premise isn't true.
so there you go...thats the answer.
in the real world, nobody cares about that
just have a water sprinkler system to put out the fire! no more problems!
no worries! whilst they have an oppressive government, you have an oppressive police force!
Epic Spray guy goes to show the hypocracy of what you just say....
yes and you know what, it was a fantastic golden age of browser development, you realise how much development and improvements happened in those years? you wanna think about that the next time you write an ajax handler, if we took the w3c approach, we'd have waited years more to get what we got when microsoft took the "fuck you" attitude and just DID things, got them done, sure they make mistakes but fixed them and then out of nowhere, ajax appeared.....

yeah ok, losing 1-2% market share, wow, hold the phones! mozilla just went out of business!
well, since it's such a small percentage, why not turn it on, let those sites fail, then when the owners of those sites complain, tell them to upgrade their shite servers and whilst their at it to get with the effing program. 1-2% of the servers in the world is enough to hold the world to ransom technologically is a stupidly simple problem to solve. why should we all suffer because of a few holdouts? cut the cord already!
