steam "engines" maybe, but steam "turbines" (which operate on a similar principle) are still prevalent almost all base load electricity generation around the world
trusses are old technology, but they haven't been superseded by anything new like vinyl records... trusses are likely still holding up the roof over your head right now
i got the impression that TFA was referring to technologies that have gone the way of the dodo
i would assume that if you introduce your kids to things like wikipedia (as much as it's often a contentious source of information) they'll probably learn to discover things on their own... i start at an article on football and wind up at something to do with the cuban missile crisis
I am very much looking forward to the day when I can teach them about an antiquated and no longer used technology called "Windows"
give microsoft time... they are doing their level best to kill their apex product line but, you could also spin it a slightly different way
"windows were simple rectangular holes in buildings with panes of transparent glass covering them, through which we could see the outside in real life... when i was young i didn't stare into digital displays to see the world, like you children do now"
The problem with scientific power you've used is it
didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read
what others had done and you took the next step. You
didn't earn the knowledge yourselves, so you don't take
the responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders
of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you
could, and before you knew what you had, you patented
it, packages it, slapped in on a plastic lunch box, and
now you want to sell it.
then consider gitmo, bagram, the TSA, mandatory detention in the war on drugs, drone strikes, NSA spying, IRS targeting, executive overreach (Bush and Obama especially), corruption in the banking system which relies on the government, FDIC and IMF for bailouts, wall street and politicians in bed with each other, the Federal Reserve & money printing, etc.
then think of the shrinking of middle class taxpayers (who could conceivably leave the country if they wanted to) being converted in the rapid expansion of the class of citizens that are entirely dependent on government support/welfare (who couldn't leave the country even if they wanted to)
the iron curtain isn't necessarily a reference to physical boundaries or keeping people from escaping (as in the Berlin Wall)... open your mind a little http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...
Throughout the Cold War the term "curtain" would become a common euphemism for boundaries – physical or ideological – between communist and capitalist states.
After the socialist revolution, the life expectancy for all age groups went up. This statistic in itself was seen by some that the socialist system was superior to the capitalist system. These improvements continued into the 1960s, when the life expectancy in the Soviet Union surpassed that of the United States.
In the 1960s, nearly all Soviet children had access to education... Citizens directly entering the work force had the constitutional right to a job and to free vocational training.
seems to me an aweful lot like what the United States in particular is heading towards, and is possibly more to do with what TFA was on about (comparing intelligence gathering of western nations today with that of the soviet union)
why are you drawing comparisons in the past when TFA is talking about a future trend?
if anything it highlights how different the future of the west is from its past
how do you think the repressive regimes around the world began? do you seriously think that people were completely free one day and then woke up the next to brutal oppression?
i grow increasingly ashamed of ignorant fools (both democrat and republican supporters alike) with their heads buried in the sand... wake up and smell the tyranny
how much taxpayer money gets wasted on guys like this?
we pay for the research of scientists, then they get to keep the spoils (patents, nobel prizes, credibility, etc) and we get to pay for it again as spinoffs
as much as the php language is a crusty turd compared to the likes of pascal/delphi its probably the easiest and quickest to get something out the door, and i'm guessing is also why its infection is so widespread
python is a toxic waste dump of shitty syntax
never got into perl, but i've heard that its a popular tool for hackers so it must be fairly efficient
It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.
someone should have shown this quote to Madeleine Albright
whether network administrators really want to compile their rules every time they change them
not really necessary since usually you have to perform some kind of action to implement changes (such as executing a bash script) it would make sense to recompile the rule script when performing a flush command (such as equivalent of iptables -F) or restarting the firewall (akin to apache2ctl restart)
compiling would seem like a sensible idea even for the existing simplified syntax, since interpreting any script is much slower than executing compiled machine code

Whom has the US kept from escaping its regime?
google "indefinite detention"
then consider gitmo, bagram, the TSA, mandatory detention in the war on drugs, drone strikes, NSA spying, IRS targeting, executive overreach (Bush and Obama especially), corruption in the banking system which relies on the government, FDIC and IMF for bailouts, wall street and politicians in bed with each other, the Federal Reserve & money printing, etc.

if money=power (as everyone knows it does), then Google eclipses the NSA... it's more likely the NSA is working for Google.
their AI would be more inclined to sell us something than to kill us off
they give me results for "Terminator in Sarah Connor" instead

yeah good point... mcain is merely john kerry's butt boy

They are, by and large, joining al Qaeda-affiliated militant groups.
If that doesn't constitute treason, then I don't know what is.
try telling that to john mccain
The Iron Curtain kept people from escaping from oppressive regimes
oh you mean like the united states government
This article is just talking about prosecuting people who have been fighting for terrorists
oh you mean CIA operatives
scrutinizing those suspected of hanging around with terrorists
oh you mean congressmen

pascal with its talky syntax and strong types is fine too - yeah i'm a delphi fanatic

Good John Adams quote relative to this point:
It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.

Care to point out the bit in the New Testament that says it's O.K to kill someone
try the bit where it points to the Old Testament
If anyone wants to avoid such "anguish" then the remedy is extremely simple: DO NOT KILL, DO NOT COMMIT MURDER.
more importantly, don't be convicted of such things
or even more importantly, don't be wrongly convicted of such things
couldn't you just use Python syntax, and write a simple interpreter that meets the efficiency demands?
you certainly could
