Try to get 50 people to agree on anything. Thinking that there's 150 corps that magically control the world is the tinfoil-hat mindset at its best. Who at those corps is controlling the world? The CEO? The chairman of the board? Some little accountant snickering in a back office? Do you really think you can get 150 people to agree 100% on what the right direction for the world? There is massive competition in the financial industry, driven by the need to have quarterly results go up and up, do you really think that all of these corps would hop in bed with the competition?
Airports and airfields are *everywhere*. You don't need to be able to handle 747s to have an airport. And pretty much anywhere you can touch down a little cessna legally is going to have equipment for measuring at least wind speed, air pressure, and temperature.
Fiat is a latin work literally translating to something along the line of 'Let there be'. It generally refers to the creation of something from nothing. Paper money is made from cotton and plastics. Bitcoins are made from GPU cycles. Both derive value based on the belief that they have value, they are useless without that belief. Thus they could both reasonably be called fiat money.
And at the time it was true of the Japanese products. And before that it was the Germans supplying the low-quality junk products. Today it's China, and tomorrow it will be someone else.
What business do you think would be against marijuana? Seriously. Anyone who makes or sells cigarettes just gets an extra product to make money from with very little effort. Anyone who grows tobacco can grow marijuana (it's nicknamed 'weed' for a reason). About the only big business that wouldn't benefit from legalization is the less than legal sort that currently controls production and distribution, and I certainly hope you don't think the mafia controls congress.
I'm shocked, utterly shocked. Oh, not about anything in the presentation, I'm shocked that Slashdot actually got this story up when the event was happening and didn't link to a recording three days from now.
That was one of the main points of the GATT after WWII. The more trade you have the less of a chance that some country feels so screwed by everyone else that they start a war.
And what is the error rate when you get a few million people into the database? It's all well and good to say we can identify who someone is against a population of a few dozen, or a couple hundred, but give it all the people in New York City to churn through and I somehow doubt that your false identification rate will be 0.
Can you really not think of any software that would kill you if it screwed up badly enough? Just like all the other forms of engineering, there are failsafes built into important software. The important thing isn't that your car never breaks down, the important thing is that it breaks down in such a way that you still have some control and don't end up with a movie-style fireball.
He's probably talking about things like how the browser/web server create a new TCP session for each and every AJAX request, even if they're going to happen every few seconds for as long as you're on a page. Google gets around this by setting some silly-long keep-alive on the TCP connection for the original page request on pages like gmail so the first few AJAX requests at least don't take the extra overhead.
Wild Rose is a provincial party in Alberta. The Liberals have what, about 10% of the seats in the house? But you would put them as a major party above the NDP? You're an idiot.
Well the NDP is currently the Official Opposition federally, and I'm hearing things about the Wild Rose Party in Alberta, so yes, there are other parties up here.
When I made a CRTC complaint about them I got a letter from the office of the CEO letting me know the issue was fixed (and, shockingly, it was actually fixed) within a week. Turns out they actually are scared of the CRTC.
All the things you list there have either full standards specifications or high-quality documentation. To me that is the thing missing from javascript.
And then you need to review every version of the gcc source that was ever used to compile gcc, just in case Ken Thompson has been playing around in it again...

This was my exact thought.
Corps are persons, which basically just means a single legal entity for most laws. They are most certainly not citizens.

I hear Oracle buys companies when they start doing that...

Clinton almost got impeached for lying under oath about getting a bj, not for the bj itself.

Small claims court really doesn't take lawyers.

They're using used coffee grounds. It is a waste product.
Wish I had a mod point for you, this is the bast comment here so far :)
And she has proven that she isn't good at it, so why exactly do you think she's getting hired again?
Maybe they could get together with Yahoo and make it a combo deal. Buy one get one free!
