Yeah, he should have stuck with what he was good at - introducing science to elementary school children. Ever since he started talking to adults he has just looked like a jerk.
I assume Theft refers to someone cutting off your thumb and Brute Forcing refers to a brute putting you in a headlock while his partner forces your thumb onto the sensor.
I call myself a developer, but my job title is Senior Application Engineer. That comes from HR who, in their infinite wisdom, decided it was the correct way to description. I've basically been doing the exact same job for 14 years (in the same company) and in that time I've been called a Web Developer, an Application Architect, and a Senior Application Engineer. The job duties haven't changed, but each change in title gave me a raise so I don't really care what they call me.
Yes, it's other peoples servers, but there is more to it than that. We used to host physical servers at a data center. It was a huge PITA to get new servers provisioned. Moving to virtual servers on other people's servers (aka, the cloud) has been the greatest thing ever for us. Could we host the virtual servers locally? Sure. Do we want to? No. So for me the cloud is not defined by just being someone else's servers, but virtual servers running on some else's servers. It simplifies so much that we would never go back to physical servers or hosting our own virtual servers unless (probably until) some massive problem happens.
I was buying a used car from a dealer a number of years ago. I told them how much I wanted to pay (low balling) and they balked. They first showed me a printout of how much the car was worth. That was great until I pointed out that their printout was for the model of the car that was 4 years newer than what I was looking to buy. Whoops. Eventually I got tired of their insane sales tactics and said never mind and got up and started walking away. I was serious about leaving but they flipped out and within a few minutes we had a deal that I was happy with. That was my first time trying that tactic and I was amazed at how well it worked. The ability to walk away really is important.
"or just as likely, there is some sort of barrier to intelligent civilizations being able to launch such an effort like colonization or robotic exploration." That barrier is called "politicians". You could also include the rest of the non-intelligent members of civilizations, but mostly politicians. Since robotic explorers haven't reached our solar system, this is merely proof that politicians are universal.
The place where I work has a river running thru it. And there is a parking lot near the river. How sweet it would be to live in a van down by the river. I wonder if Google has a river on their campus?
I'm a nerd, but I loved the Star Trek reboots. Maybe Rotten Tomatoes is objective, but you are subjective about the subject so you have trouble being objective about the objectivity of Rotten Tomatoes.
"if this technology becomes pervasive, the skill of operating a vehicle will be lost" Based on my experience this has already happened (or more likely never existed in the first place;-)
I just checked and I have 228 passwords in my lastpass account. All of them are random strings of numbers, letters, and symbols. Less than 1% of them have less than 30 characters (due to lame restrictions imposed by certain websites that only allow short passwords). Your 32 passwords are probably used on more than one site. None of mine are duplicated. You may not want it, but you really do need a password manager.
For those who have experience with both KeePass and LastPass (ideally on an iOS and OSX) how do they compare? Is KeePass as tightly integrated into the browsers in both ecosystems as LastPass is?
I keep trying to convince my teenage daughters that they should get into coding since they are absolutely guaranteed to get a great job after college, even if they are just mediocre developers, purely because of their gender! But no... they would rather study things like journalism and anthropology. My mind boggles. I am a professional coder who also teaches a college level web development course on the side. I have the resources and experience to train them, but my offers fall on deaf ears. Sigh. Even after being married to a woman and having four daughters I just don't get girls.
I read the conversation and this had nothing to do with people not wanting to get involved. The other participants were actively encouraging the shooter to go through with it. Of course they didnt report the shooter. From the conversation they were excited and even talking about how they would be famous after the shooting when the media would want to talk to them.

Afghanistan isn't a part of the middle east (at least not regionally). Though it does share a lot of culture with the Middle East.

We just need Schwarzenegger to go to Mars and find some alien artifacts to make the atmosphere breathable in about 30 seconds.
So, greasy chicken* + love hotel = ... Nope, I definitely don't want to go there.
*Since it's Japan, this is probably greasy squid.

So, is Android destined to be the new Linux?

"do we really need 30 types of jam on a store shelf?" No, we just need Raspberry Jam. The remainder can be discarded.

I know! I just need to put on about 100 lbs and I'll be set.

He mentions this and points out that it was his Mom who brought up this issue. That must have been a fun conversation ;-)

So... what are you saying? Are you suggesting that people need a background check and an IQ test before purchasing a gun?
I'm not claiming science is wrong. I was making a joke about Obama always being on the right side of history.
You don't think Obama always being on the right side of history is a joke?
Whoosh.
Obama is always on the right side of history. Therefore, be definition, he cannot be on the "wrong side" of climate change.
