What? Reading the link you included makes it pretty clear that the text you quoted is not the only or original definition of the word evolution. In addition to that, your interpretation of the text you quoted does not acknowledge that "a better state" is not suggested to be the only possible result of the process of continuous change.
I travel through time constantly. So, yes, there's a way, always, to do certain things within certain limitations, especially if you define "always" as "sometimes". Which is to say, the correct statement would be "where there's a will, there's a way to do certain things under certain conditions. Sometimes."
In some cases, the "way" is to redefine a problem to something completely different than an originally stated problem, and then address the new, solveable problem.
Masturbation is a medical treatment and is 100% safe and effective.
I will avoid the potential awkwardness of calling into question other aspects of that statement, and instead assert simply that masturbation is not a medical treatment.
It may become possible to transmit a 7680x4320 60 frame per second feed on a Japanese television network, but: 1. Consumers will not have (or need) devices capable of displaying this quality of video 2. Most television content will not ever be produced in that format.
It seems to me that the most likely application would be that this standard would allow transmission of a high-quality digital movie to directly a theater, so the theater wouldn't ever have the movie "in house" (in order to mitigate piracy).
As I read the thread, the post with links answered your comment, "I can't remember seeing anyone having anything positive to say about the Kin at any time."
Unsurprisingly, it didn't answer the question you hadn't asked. It also didn't answer your unsubstantiated ad hominem attack against the poster and the moderators.
The lesson here it that Apple has become the Wal-Mart of software and services. The application and content developers who make money via Apple's presence do so only to the extent that it generates as much revenue for Apple as Apple desires. If your business model can't withstand Apple's requirements, your business will fail.
In other words, betting your business on Apple make a lot of sense, if you're Apple. Anyone else, maybe not so much.
I hate unity.. but just logout and go back into ubuntu classic.
Agreed, I do that when I run into Unity issues.
My biggest gripe (aside from media performance, lack of a full menu, and lack of my customer GNOME widgets) is that you can't choose the GUI to use next time you log in from within the GUI (e.g., as a log out/restart/etc. option).
Oh, did I mention the lack of widgets? (Are there widgets that I just don't know about?) I want to see when something's sucking the CPU without having to run the full System Monitor.
wow man that's harsh. you're saying that if a company doesn't give you good customer service, then somebody will hack the company, steal millions of account records, and cause millions if not more in damages and lost business?
If he's not, I will: yes, that's exactly correct.
Really? You, or some other vengeful hacker will take it out on Sony by stealing from millions of other people? I don't think that's what you mean.
I think the theft of people's personal data was perpetrated by career criminals, not by wronged consumers.
You're quite right; I'd bet the producers called that segment "The books we really wish people would read." This all lends credence to the Ernie Kovacs assessment: "Television -- A medium. So called because it is neither rare nor well done." Even when it's the BBC.
What you point out is that not everything works the same in every environment. Not everything falls into a neat Agile model, though some projects do. Your mileage is very likely to vary with Agile, but there's something of value it it for almost everyone.
Oh, I see.... the complaint is that the BBC didn't talk about these genres on TV, not that they were excluded from the WBN list.
That's terrible. To think that the BBC wasn't focusing their coverage on the genres that already dominate the public's awareness, and therefore don't need the additional boost from appearing on TV.
Looking at the WBN book list, I saw Northern Lights by Philip Pullman (whose name I didn't notice among the signatories).
I'm not familiar with most of the other books on the list, but out of the 25, there is certainly at least "a single SF, fantasy or horror". Unless... perhaps the ranks of the excluded believe Pullman's book to be factual?
Most people now consider 18, 19, 20 year olds as "kids".
Age of majority has been 21 in many countries for centuries. Your impression that there is a "new" effort to deprive people younger than 21 years of historical rights is not founded in fact.
I think there's a fancier name for the ancient tradition of giving unappealing things a more appealing name. As far as I can tell, this "reality 2.0" has been around for all of recorded history.
. They may be more overtly annoying, but they're not any stupider than the people who refuse to have anything to do with their children's school.
Also baseless.
There is no data, to my knowledge, that correlates self-congratulatory or antisocial behavior with higher or lower intelligence. Therefore one can reasonably expect their IQ to be very nearly the same as the average of the population at large.
And strong arguments can be made that the farthest right on the normal distribution are the ones less likely to even have kids in school in the first place.
People without children are not parents of school children, therefore they are outside the set of potential PTA members, and irrelevant to the discussion. Also, the "strong arguments" do not appear to have any foundation in facts.

Yeah, I can hear your Model M from down the street. Keep it down!

Obviously Bennett has not taken Shakespeare's advice: "Brevity is the soul of wit."
Shakespeare's comment is more observation than advice. Seems pertinent, though.
Not everybody on Slashdot thinks of other people as... you know... people.
That email is pretty clear. If you get the email, but didn't do the password reset, then there is a problem and you should be worried.
Seems the Constitution usually did what was expected of it by those who read the document.

Never forget this pearl of wisdom:
Good managers manage based on what you accomplish. Bad managers manage based on what time you got there.
Unless, of course, the ability to do the job depends upon timeliness, as is the case, for example, for people working in many customer-facing jobs.
Good managers make sure you understand what you need to know in order to do a good job. Bad managers may only tell you that after you screw up.

The GP is saying the amount of energy you get out compared to the energy used in extraction is greater for Saudi oil than for Canadian oil.
This has nothing in particular to do with how much oil we buy from either country.

You mean, like on java.com? Hmm,,,, Yeah, you've got a point. ;-)
