While I'm inclined to accept the fact that China has the biggest growth rate and together with india the only increasing slopes. It is important to note that the US have more emissions for the projected period(20th century) that the sum of the rest. Another thing I would like to point out is that chinas (and indias) 2000s are like the USA's 60s they coincide with an international industrial boom and economic influx. Chinas industrialization is supported by international funds being dumped on them in massive quantities.
So what? China is the bad guy? Stop apple/sony/samsung/the_automobile_industry from dumping billions on them every month and then you will see their carbon emissions going right down.
Carbon taxes on industry can work, in theory, when the tax amount makes production infeasible, which it never does and when the tax is actually asked for and not bailed away, like it usually is.
I think that now they actually have a shot with it.
in the 80s the world was full of printed pictures so having a Polaroid wasn't really such a big thing. Now our homes and environment is getting cleaner every time apple puts out a new iOS release. I don't know about the camera but the dc-10 printer is looking to be a very cool gizmo. I can see it becoming quite trendy amongst some hipster types and international students.
As already pointed out the existing world wide patent regime is only putting roadblocks into innovation by making sure that the only ones who innovate are the ones that can run multi decade lawsuit wars about ill granted patents on quasi generic topics about mildly similar processes.
So yes, it is kind of encouraging innovation. It encourages "investment safe innovation". For those that have hundreds of millions of dollars. The layers are particularly happy though.
No, the reason is money. Facebook gives them cash, they do stupid things in exchange. Facebook then hopes to get more information to sell, I mean more users.
No, it's not. The reason is conversion rate. (Full stop)
The only reason there is for a site owner to implement facebook login is a high conversion rate from guests to logged in users. The user just does one click and milliseconds later has given up all his personal data to the site he just autoregistered for.
by doing conventional logins small portal admins get around 80% less registrations and the quality of the data they get of the users is much lower. Facebook login is tailored for identity retrieval which benefits mostly facebook but also the busynesses that implement it. The only one who doesn't get something in return is You.
facebook login is a very bad thing, don't use it (as a user).
all black modern tablets that are worth their money look exactly the same switched off and most probably do so when turned on aswell. Same is probably true for all white tablets.
This is not news nor infringement, it's optimization and NOUI applied to hardware. Perfectly correct and legal (unless you are believing that laws should govern how you interact with your items. oh, wait you do)
Indeed and in the information culture we are living now the most important thing is conceptual understanding. Once you understand a problem and it's properties retrieving details is a trivial task.
On the story: what the article actually says is that people are open to cheating no matter what their measured competence is. I didn't need an article to tell me that but hey no harm done.
What could be done though (and might actually, possibly, even work) would be giving people a limited amount of votes. Like moderation points for example. You get to choose on what to spend them but you can't vote on everything. Therefore you are forced to vote on the things that matter more to you personally (which creates a good precondition to tap the wisdom of the mass).
I tried to. Damn thing wouldn't install. Kept complaining that my windows were missing. Damit, they are right there in front of you, filling in the huge holes in the walls!
no,no "work" is not the word you are looking for when describing pulse audio.
I had a nightmare last night that PA was keeping ALSA captive demanding the release of 1000000 CPU cycles the system was keeping for thread scheduling. In the end we used an SCSI driver to nuke the damn thing to/dev/null using an NPTL.

SW patents are just an 80s joke that stuck around and evolved, through money whoring and non intelligent politicians and legislators, into a royal pita for everyone who is half competent to create a marketable program.
I used khan academy some time ago to freshen up my calculus and it worked pretty well. I don't think though that the result would be the same hadn't I taken the amount of notes I did, hadn't done the work after the videos or were walking into calculus withou having a clue about it.
Still it is a good step in the right direction. To make it really work they still need to keep a tight leash on observers and kind of force users to do exercises/homework otherwise the knowledge will dribble out of their ears! (that's a fact)
what this means (and what larry bagina points to) is that the rate of clueless (as in: advice needing) individuals from those that use js is much higher than the same rate for other languages. roughly that means: the mean js developer/tinkerer is the least knowledgeable developer/tinkerer (accepting that every one person only tinkers with one lang of course)
I'd like to rephrase Your point a bit: Javascript is in the #1 spot because the process of learning js is much more fragmented and because the language usually is utilized inside a browser environment, which complicates the language's behavior even more.
A lot of people are learning to write js via copy paste tutorials which are distributed via many blogs and forums. Also a lot of people (eg: web designers) get to grips with the language by putting ready to use modules into their HTML pages. Now learning through the Internet is very much feasible, I'm not saying that. The problem from learning in this fashion is that your knowledge is very much fragmented, having usually no specific understanding of the program structure you should target and therefore ending up debugging very obscure problems.
Javascript is unique in this (followed maybe by php) because for most other languages you have to set up an environment, get to grips with a compiler etc. This usually is seen as an obstacle but because of those prerequisites people usually take learning those other languages much more seriously, reading much more documentation (hardcopy or online).
So I guess that it really isn't such a big newsitem.
You didn't read the sentence you quoted I assume. No problem, luckily for you I won't blame you for that Failure and since You are Anonymous and a coward the community will spare you the shame as well.
Look we are basically on the same side here. Our difference in opinion bases on that I see natural evolution in the Internet changing how we perceive arts and such and You apparently would like the new distibution model be a much more precise and well defined platform. There is not telling which is the correct position and which is not. Therefore joining into heated debates about what is the right thing might be counter productive.
Truly you cannot judge a theory only by its theoretical assumptions, you have to put it to the test. I pirate a lot of stuff. I also pay a monthly subscription to somafm.com, because I like the service they provide. I also support many smaller bands that I have come to know through that subscription having bought LPs digital releases and coffemugs from lots and lots of indies. I pledge to kickstarter and have so become a part of the reason why a lot of interesting projects have utilized. Is it wrong for me to download all those blockbusters from isohunt? Maybe. The fact is that, had I to pay for them, I would have bought a new dvd set of ST:TNG because the one I own is starting to fade (bits rot apparently).

Great article, thanks for sharing. .05% you were 10% off!
BTW, correction: the article states 0.045% no
Still it's nice to have some proper "news for nerds" once in a while.
Something that coincides with this is the fact that 1st world countries are shrinking their industry by offloading it onto China and India.
Something noteworthy is the fact that all depicted countries have increasing levels except Germany and the UK.

bah... foolish Linux developers.
They can't even write up a resource hog!

F16 is called Verne (hence the underwater wallpaper)

The end.
Absolutely correct.

RL money worked like this for centuries. Then banks and governments tried to """"regulate"""" it and look where that got us?
I thought the idea behind this was just to charge the homeless when they get your jacket?
