  1. Re:think of the children ! on The FBI Defends Deploying Malware From A Tor Child Porn Site (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The question is biased of course, but it is also sadly realistic though.The probability of a baby positively influencing the world vs the professor's one. In terms of time availability, baby wins. The current state of the world shows that mr. professor still has a lot job to do and the rest of his life span won't be enough for it. That baby could become the next professor or X major positive thing. The offsprings of that baby could become the X major positive thing. etc. You are wiping out more than you think. Massive timeline alteration. The death of that pioneer (sad but this is how things work) would bring more light upon his life's work and would increase awareness on this health issue vs the death of a baby would be just a pitch black page. That scientist who has dedicated his entire life to save people would never accept to take the baby's place. However, I redirect the question back to you (bias maximization): Would you save your hypothetical child or your hypothetical scientist elder sibling? There is a reason that the instict instructs (at least) many of us to save the younger one. Instict is an evolution-driven trait and has survived along with us through natural selection.

    What about Django? I have seen that research fields like it. Maybe because of the native integration of scientific oriented libraries(?).

  5. Brings sadness but also inspiration on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 1

    He fought till the last moment and left as a winner. He took a zombie company and shot it to the stars making it #1 and set a direction for computing. Some of the practices were questionable but still, he influenced and pushed significant development on an area created by him. His dedication and determination is a big inspiration for me, not only about the products made under his direction but mostly about the conditions he was under ,from his early steps till the last day, which were not enough to drag him down. He is a man who worked hard for what he accomplished. I indefinitely respect that as a hard-working person myself. He left his (overall positive) mark on the world (looks like a valid meaning of life for me). P.S. Not an Apple fanboy and I do not own any device from that company. On the contrary, I am opposed to the (over)pricing and development policies that are pushed. However my first interaction with computers was from a cousin's macintosh. I was so little that I can barely remember it. He was one of those involved on that machine's creation. Thank you Steve.

  8. Re:A security and functionality oriented fork on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    Posting from Seamonkey. It intergrates Thunderbird and Chatzilla (IRC). Everytime I open my browser it checks for mails and RSS feed updates (you can adjust it not to, if you want). I like also its Cookie Manager and Password Manager. It supports NoScript add-on. It does not look bloated although it has so many (useful) features. I am mostly satisfied. If it was as fast as Chrome then it would have been the perfect browser for me.

  11. Go with both for sure. on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 1
    I made an application on Android and i checked Objective-C recently for a project.The target app is required to be written for Android and iOS. I was checking about applications' publication on the two platforms' stores and i stumbled upon the fees that are required for developer's registration. Android : 25$ iOS: 99$.(I admit i did not expect these fees.I am student and the project is an open source one for clearly educational purposes.I got disappointed a little.) Don't forget that owning a Mac is supposed to be a prerequisite for iOS development, since Apple does not support Windows (Although i found an IDE called Titanium Developer, that i am going to use).

    One is open source and the other is enough closed. However,I think approaching both platforms is the way to go.The more platforms you support ,the wider your potential customer base will be. Android = Java , iOS = Objective-C. Both have C as a base. I think you will be just fine.

    If you want to get rid of something, first destroy it then delete it. Otherwise, you just have evidence sitting on your disk, because whatever you delete, just has its flag changed. So it remains there , till it gets overwritten. People who would look for the file will not just use windows' search. i bet many are going to burn their HDs now.
