I'm assuming you mean Mikkeles's first line. That was a summary only half the post. The second line specifically says "best bang for the buck". Is that "most computer per cpu cycle", "most computing per line of code", "most computer per developer hour", etc?
$3.63/gallon? $3.63/GALLON?!? If your northern neighbours saw those prices there would be a line up 3 blocks down the fucking road!!! We haven't seen prices that low since at least 2002. Americans need to stop bitching about having some of the lowest gas prices in the world.
True. I should have said "where people use this technology to commit publicly visible crimes". Your grandparents probably didn't have to deal with criminals (price-gouging business men aside) that could make your pig die by flipping a switch in the another county.
HTML5 will solve this for us. HTML5 will solve all of our problems for us. That hipster on the interwebs told me. And they can't lie on the internet -- another hipster told me so.
Writing files without sending them to the server first requires things like Flash, Java, ActiveX. etc. Pure Javascript can't do it.
We call them byte arrays, they work fairly well for creating temporary "files" to be sent elsewhere or stored in unconventional storage. HTML5 supports local storage and small data can be stored in cookies.
That's actually a pretty nice form factor and I would consider it except for 3 reasons:
- Windows (if it's an ARM that means Secure Boot won't let you change it)
- No touchpad, though I may be able to live without that, I only uses my touchpad for moving caret in non-vim environments.
- It doesn't look like you can fold/retract/get rid of the extra plastic that extends from the back of the keyboard. Being able to do so would make it more comfortable in some sitting positions (like on a recliner).
For some reason US courts tend to put people in jail longer for hacking a computer and not stealing anything than for multiple violent armed robberies lately.
That reason is fear. Well over 95% of the US population (probably true for most countries) knows absolutely nothing about hackers except what they see in movies and on the news. They see them as anti-social control freaks bent on world domination that can only be stopped by being locked up or "reverse-hacked" by some skinny guy they temporarily let out of prison for having done the same thing. Americans (think they) know how to stop an armed robber, they shoot him with THEIR gun. They feel utterly powerless against hackers because you can't physically get to them, they have no technical abilities of their own to get to them virtually and governments and media have been slowly ramping up their stories of "1 geek with a payphone can start a nuclear war, shut down all power stations or make all the computers explode in a fiery shower of red and yellow sparks". This is the first time since magic was invented the public has had to deal with something they are completely and utterly unable to understand or fell they can protect themselves from.
You can't bit-torrent a teacher and pile of course material on paper, you can bit-torent a video of him teaching and the electronic course material.
You completely missed my point. There are 2 different scenarios. A) Teacher makes a very good program and records it on tape, tape is then "pirated" and uploaded on mega-sharing-service-2.0. B) Teacher makes a good program and DOESN'T record it, program itself is stolen and the details posted on a student's blog for other people to learn from directly.
Now explain why scenario A makes people dirty rotten pirates and scenario B doesn't. In BOTH scenarios the teacher is potentially losing customers (be they video sales or student fees). In fact, I'd feel more sorry for the second because at least they are getting off their fat ass and teaching the material over and over again instead of recording it once and living off the royalties for 70+ years until they die then having their children and great grandchildren do the same thing.
Actually, youtube's starting embedding adverts into the video streams lately. More popular (read: the ones that make youtube money) uploaders can disable them, but they are there.
I pick which codecs and how compressed I want my digital copy to be. I rip a lot of videos that really suck because I tend to rip the entire set ("50 Mystery Movie Pack") and then decide what to watch. I wouldn't consider that I've added any value to any of the suck movies I've ripped just because they are in my chosen codec format and file size and don't have the ads I wouldn't see anyway. Those movies still suck.
FYI, in many countries what you just did is legally just as bad as downloading it.
Now you know how it feels to be a "damned dirty pirate" for doing something you feel to be completely moral.
Had you not included "recorded it onto a video", and left your hard work as "developed a really good curiculum", your analogy falls apart. In fact, other than recorded content (video, slides & documents), anyone can copy what-ever they want (methods, curiculum, style, content, etc) of your "really good coriculum" and there would be shit all you could do about it.
I've experienced the hight pitch hiss from time to time (not very often, but I do get it) and got a hearing test done at a previous workplace. The test showed that I had VERY good hearing except for 1 specific frequency range (basically 1 column on the test paper). Apparently that frequency is commonly lost among concert band performers (I played trumpet in highschool). So yes, there are LOTS of ways of developing hearing loss, and not all hearing loss is the same.
If by earbuds you mean this horrible iPod headphones, those are NOT isolating in the slightest. Silicone inner-ear headphones will isolate quite a bit (from outside noises getting in AND headphone noises from getting out).
Slashdot Mirror
And yet still missed by WAAAAAY to many Linux users. Otherwise those bot-net brute-force attacks would've stopped years ago.
HAHA, someone actually convinced another human being that .NET is platform-indipendent! I think I owe someone 10 bucks.
If he's using them. AND if he remembered to also turn OFF password authentication.
Not to mention he'd go through about $300/month in overage charges when he hits his cap every month.

Was he by any chance also on the internet?

If I convey something in pseudo code or user interface.
And right there you have far exceeded the competency of 99.99% of the "I have an idea, all you have to do is program it" people out there.
There are entire window managers written in Javascript.*
* I in no way endorse the use of Javascript for any reason.
I think his question was "what do you call a buck"? Is that computer time, programmer time, development time, difficulty, etc?

Did you watch the video? There was no touchpad on there.

In the death star's defense, that "one man starship" had a few hunder (thousand?) comrads distracting everyone and an old dead guy helping him aim.
Because in many countries ripping your PURCHASED cd's can come with just as high (or higher) a price as downloading it.

You seem to be under the impression that the brand of water has anything to do with its source...
