I am an immigrant and I don't give crap if people don't know eglish. I think that should be mandatory for people to know english or whatever language they want to speak, if they want to stay in the country. If you want to come to a country and not participate in its general culture, then you ought to go back. Most of the time people who don't wholeheartedly learn local customs and language(s), because dienchanted with state of affairs, cause general unrest, crime etc. Reason many , but idea is one. Staying here? Learn english. Or french. (that is in canada). In russia people are pretty severe if someone immigrates and doesn't learn local language. They general stay in lowest places of the society and never attain any legal status.
As for the languages, It is sort of odd. I heard that programming computers, does muck up you brain in general ways, and there is a half-life of the programmer that amounts to around 10 years of straight coding. (might be not true though when I do write alot of code at once, I can't align words quite right.) 2c.
File a complaint with BBB, after a while they can't delete history with BBB, you can always post their dealings with customers too, out to dry on the web.
Looks like steve's reality distortion field of invincibility is going to come into play again in some near future. Like with schools, when they have installed base, they completely ingore the requests for help to fix things. But they do answer the phones fast if you want to buy from them. It is very elitist company and it won't go high in the ranks of businesses, because of stunts like this. I cannot really recommend hardware, manufacturer of which acts like shill that sold you second rate item in open air markets of asia, for a very very low price. Except price is premium. I guess they rely on fact that alot of people like their products and probelms are generally a few and not a show stopper kind. Ignoring problems isn't same as ignoring customer too which is why it is so frustrating. They will listen, but like autistic kid, move on without remembering what happend.
If they would ever go through with this, means CRIAA won't levelrage tax on blank media anymore. They can't have their pie and eat it as the same time, legally. What you would rather have, moron stealing from you or someone clever, who can hide it , or make it appear a something else. Paul Martin is an embarrasment to the country of canada. Glad he is gone. He is one who ousted Jean Chrétien out. And he has balls to go out there after being forced from the office by the people, still Harps on about how liberal party is ONLY choice for canadians and they will going to get back in leaders. No SORRY. No we are going to BETTER next time around.
He's the asshole in charge that knows his shit. He worked in electronics parts retail and I bet none of the MBA groomed directors/boardmembers/whatevers had ever such jobs pertinent to their business. He gets things his way, and most of the time he is right. I am not apple fanboi, I use many platforms, but you can really admire his affinity for simple things. Its almost like zen. He is a role model too for many nerds in that way. Without steve jobs they still have long way to go , but slope will change direction almost immediately. He's got the stone and knowlege to do things. Not many directors/whatevers have such initmate knowlege of technology feel. I some respects he is like Kevin Mitnick - when they started questioning about his expolitation of computers he got emotional and cried. Whatever. Without jobs apple is just another e-bit hardware maker.
They are already expanding their economies. Once the economy is big enough, they get their own ideas and.. weapons. And welfare programs. It is a climb, though I think faster one then I have expected.
They won't ask. It can be seen how it would become potential target for viruses. It is much harder to make a virus for iphone, i'd guess because it uses unix. And I won't be surprised if it will the first real application for the iphones. Since Jobs would sue and sabotage anyone making applications for the phones.
What really cripples the phone is binding of it to single network, but a few people pointed it out, that it is necssary for the new features to be added into Cingular network. And cingular or other providers won't bother if Jobs would push open standard onto them. Eventually they will all evolve for visual voice mail and other features. At that point iPhone 2.0 will have a huge harddrive or flash drive and will have voip calling, with all the features and people will be able to buy it without and cruddy contracts. And be able to roam around without paying roaming fees: re different sim cards.
Invisible hand works. It is also nice to have limeted social welfare & medical coverage to limit low class falling lower, from where they can't recover and become useful citizens.
popularized notion of nanotech is that nanites that actually perform stuff, compared to what really happening now is, basically smashing stuff to very small proportions. In itself is interesting, but not as cool and challanging as building microbots that do operate on molecular level. Its the sort of co-relating plasma and nuclear detonated propulsion to be alike based on the fact that it they both use atoms.
I suppose people should call things what they are, nano-pulverisation and nano-engineering, would be better alternatives.
I became hooked on incandescent ones. They make home, very inviting and livable in. Very comfortable. Yellowish glow of fluorescents just doesn't cut it. I'd wait until full range ones are sold. They are hard to find, and most full range ones, are just extra white. I guess it'll be alright for shed and outside lights.

I'd propose that Hans was used in every way possible as she was murdered just after courts awarded custody of the kids to her. It may not be legal to kill your spouse when she gets preferential treatment from the legal system. But at rope's ends if there isn't any way left for his emotions to be let out. It depends on what has really happend there. It can't be justified, taking persons life, he probably had options.
That leads me onto other question, I wonder how geeks deal with real world, extereme situations like that. What is dear to you, has been mutilated and tortured, what is your reaction.
Only time will heal all this. And the kids are the ones who really pay between one or two beligerent adults.
If sold pennies on the dollar, I hope someone who can take care of the codebase, can own the company.
Thats what earlugs are for.:) I think they should mandate though microphone masks, so they keep their sounds to their face. Or something like talk booths where they go and talk all they want.
So far that I know renumeration was offered publicly to artists that wanted to be compensated (even they didn't have to, because in russia all intellectual property is owned by the governemt, still) I don't think allofmp3 offered any renumeration to RIAA cartel, since they are in competition. Offering renumeration breaks down the idea that allofmp3 is a thief. I mean you can be devicive in terms of law, but that doesn't make you a crook, just somewhat illegal is fuzzy terms. Like when you shoot unregistered gun in the forest, is that really a procecutable crime? Like shooting someone with unregistered gun? What allofmp3 did, is offer alot of people choice, to have quality music, at prices they can afford. RIAA cartel is still in horse buggy whip business, where they want to maintain CD retail in way it was done since 80's, while technology in broad sense have moved on and is offering far better alternatives. They are pricing digital music as if they had to pay for warehousing each copy, paying for entire factory to be there, for people in brown coats that deliver cds, large real estate properties downtown. etc.
What they are afraid of is that music distribution is now a commodity. Really anyone can do it, who has some spare change in the pockets. If you have a bit more, you can do it really well, like all of mp3. If you have around say less then 100K then you can set up entire conversion workforce somewhere to put up CDs in whatever format users want. And have alot available in a short term. Something to compete with itunes and whatnot.
I'd say kudos to allofmp3, they have shown it that it can be done.
I do agree, it is for small hacks, and it hasn't improved too muvch on fundamentals since 2002 when i have used it. You can get alot of funding for ajax related stuff, but that doesn't mean that it is useful for masses at its foundation. Diversity of browser behaviours will make sure of that. And it isn't about languages too, for the other half, but about behaviours, inconsistent and broken alot of times. You really have to do a balancing act. See how trivial application of google maps, doesn't work the same on all browsers. Until there is a rigid standard about ECMA script, akin to Java ones, one can't talk about proper interoperability and usefulness of such language.
Many projects incorporate python as a scripting language of choice.
Why do I think replacement of Java/ECMA script with python is good in terms of browser language? Because it is fast. It mandates proper and consistent tabulation. It eradicates puctuation in many, and un-necessary cases. It is also very very fast, if precomplied codes are used. Also I takes alot of C/Java programmer design, without making you feel like a downgraded programmer, who is allowed to use a knife only with safety blade that can't cut skin or meat. As well it has very clear way to lay out code in clear ideas. Proto-currying is built in, which is useful and full real currying in 2.5 is very usable with libraries. Sort of functional onto generic procedural programming.
Guy writing most code wins! Guy making most political statements looses!
So it goes. We aren't microsoft to force our users including corporate ones, to bend them out of shape to be allowed to use our code.
I think the problem here is China syndrome, where manufacturers now don't have a straight spec for hardware, most of the time they look what they can buy in bulk for cheap stick the same name on the board and sell it under the same name. Drivers provided for windows, but linux drivers suddenly won't work. I think foundation of the point is that linux will loose significant portion of debugger community, because "dirty" kernels aren't supported. The link is, that there is so much of varying hardware on the market for which people would use binary drivers, debugging workforce would shrink.

Maybe it is the next phase, of mind evolution? Snowcrash popularized tower of babel, where humans evolved through infection by a meta-virus, that had real life counterpart with same effects(Nam-shub evolution into real world). The virus broke down barriers between clearly separated brain parts and made them more equal in reasoning on how to behave.o usness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_Mind
