I wouldn't have cable, but my wife likes watching the shows.
My way of getting back at the cable companies and the MPAA in general? I like local entertainment - open mic nights, concerts, jams, plays, reading, writing.
I know that's not for everyone but those are the things I prefer. It will take a while to make all of those illegal.
The loudest people who 'disbelieve' science tend fall on the right side of the political spectrum. That isn't to say everyone who believes in global warming does so because they are thinking about the science, but at least most of those people respect scientists and science.
That being said, I meant some snark there, too.
Do you think its writing is better or worse than the typical bill?
Do you think its real purpose id different than its stated intent?
If we really want this bill, and really want it in a good fashion, we should make a wiki collaboration of it. Of course I am saying that, and it takes energy, and I'm heading off to work at the moment.
I think its more likely that the password wasn't dictionaried. It was probably sniffed in a starbucks or something like that.
If it was a dictionary attach though, it would be the case where your home builder is also the doorman who saw all the break in attempts and did nothing.
It's more the 'single signon with one password' that is on trial, rather than just Microsoft.
I'm sort of reminded of the Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. In that book, this game was so important to people that it had a ministry. I sort of imagined the game like a highbrow D&D.
Probably the next jobs out there will be figuring out how to provide enough energy for all these robots. If that fails, the jobs after that will be farming, making cobblestones and figuring out a substitute for wood.
I don't know of many ways to deal with this sort of bullying. It's the type of bullying that powerful eventually engage in. It certainly isn't the end of the world, but it is pain from dozens of tiny cuts like this.
I can live without what Universal produces. While I love movies, I can and will do without theirs. There are other forms of entertainment out there. Its time to get back to books. It's time to write and share stories with friends. It's time to listen to friends play music and sing with them as opposed to listening to recordings. In short, its time to spend effort to find better ways to really and more sincerely enjoy life. It is possible to wean off of the big companies that control so much? Not quickly, maybe not ever, but maybe enough to influence their behavior.
Credit Default Swaps were regulated less than the lemonade stands of 6 year olds.
From wikipedia
A holder of a bond may “buy protection” to hedge its risk of default. In this way, a CDS is similar to credit insurance, although CDS are not subject to regulations governing traditional insurance. Also, investors can buy and sell protection without owning debt of the reference entity. These “naked credit default swaps” allow traders to speculate on the creditworthiness of reference entities. CDSs can be used to create synthetic long and short positions in the reference entity.[7] Naked CDS constitute most of the market in CDS.[13][14] In addition, CDSs can also be used in capital structure arbitrage.
sort of raises a catch 22.
The corporations have a huge influence on what the laws are, ensuring that they can say they obey the laws.
We have every right to punish the corporations for supporting bad laws.
That is a decision that pits performance vs ease of use vs likelyhood you'll up and change your databases. It depends on the space you are working in.
If your target is low to moderate traffic, simplicity and abstraction is certainly the way to go.
If your target is very high traffic, you'll need something tighter.
I'm not for or against a particular technique but I am against 'Once Size Fits All'.
(yes, I was exaggerating what the parent had said, I admit it)
Enter the conundrum of code sucking beyond all belief that still makes lots and lots of money.
There's awe inspiring code of beauty out there that will never make a dime.
Which is better and which would you rather own?
This is exactly why anyone in their right minds puts some sort of ORM/query layer in front of their database so that their mid-tier/front-end code has no knowledge of what the sql looks like.
You make it sound like SQL code is some sort of medusa that turns middleware and front end programmers to stone if they glance at it.
Probably because atheists tend to have more analytic personalities?
Religion is more a spiritual/emotional experience that maybe doesn't yield to analytic logic. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem when 'religious' people treat religion as something that adheres to rigorous logic and hard episodic fact.
Of course its going to be a C that wins. It's pushed close to the iron.
Yet another C programmer that thinks C is "close to the iron"
No, I'm a frenetic scripter. I do perl, son. When I don't have time for the dictionary perfect definition, I'll use what people will probably understand anyway and know its not exact.
Towards a more real seeming democracy.
We need more technology integration with our legislative process.
Seriously, we should be table to track down our money to the dollar.
Of course its going to be a C that wins. It's pushed close to the iron.
C++ is for the careful, exacting personalities.
I simply don't have the patience to use it on a day to day basis. Scripting is for the frenetic like me.
If you pick a scripting language, you're selling out performance for keeping your rapid development and sanity.
You can write beautiful safe stuff in C++ too.
Use what you're comfortable with.
Resources are limited, but money is just a way to keep track of resources. Money is an influence over wealth. It's effectively wealth, but it's not actually wealth.
For example, if you ran out of steel, the amount of money you had to build a steel bridge wouldn't matter too much. However, if you had the steel and had the labor, the bridge could be built with convincing or an exchange of things other than money.

As a liberal, I strongly believe that altering the stoichiometry of a mixture changes its thermodynamic and heat transfer properties.

Why are the red states the ones that get more from the government than they give?

Well said. At least they'll develop the healthy fear of being sued and the drive to sue which will come in handy for finantial survival.

But the two party system is nearly *twice* as good as the one party system.
