Dating in your own field is a lot more work than dating someone who compliments you intellectually and socially. I would not want to date another engineer unless she had her own place with her own tools and workspace for one, two moving in the same social crowd seems like a good idea till you break up and she usually keeps the friends and last but not least I like dating artists/social scientist types because they do not try to correct my horribly kludged math notation.
The Nazis used the well-kept journals of plantation owners in the Americas in formulating schedules for slave workers in rocket factories and elsewhere. By the end of the war the Germans were measuring how many calories in food and how many lives would be lost for each rocket made.
Physicalism in both the limited sense of identity theory and in a broader sense of the supervenience; and before that the reductionism, of Physicalism in regards to the philosophy of mind is an often broached topic nowadays.
For those still in school; or people like me who never left, I would suggest taking philosophy courses for social science electives if they allow you. A nascent Philosophy of Computer Science is developing and looking for help with the foundations (PDF File).
Philosophy and a sense of direction, often errant is all you got at the borders of any field. WV Quine and Popper have become interlocutors that after many readings I have access to when working on an intellectual task. Reading philosophy for me has brought great minds into contact with my own and given me a bit of humility and a shared sense of purpose I wish I had in my 20's.
I liked it when explaining complex things though. Some things on chat clients like IRC and Google Chat take longer because you can't have someone stop you typing a 2-3 sentence reply and get the answer, " Oh, I already tried that."
Its like the non-studying student in class who thinks he is so smart when he asks questions that will be answered in later in the same class, while everyone else who has kept up with the reading understood that aspect of the material before they open their mouths.
I started using Ad Blocking when the animated banners got too much in the mid late 90's and I will not stop using it till every blinking, jiggling, flipping ad is dead. Funny thing is I used to click and buy stuff from banner ads on impulse having ADD and all but now I do all my shopping online on 4 websites because of those first few animated ads.
Well, if 1000 people all on the same provider each downloaded a piece of a torrent, than had their torrent preference set to share those pieces amongst other customers on the same provider, than they are going to be taking a lot of bandwidth off the WAN side of things if you could look at all the customers as one huge LAN. However, that is not the really case as a single Cable company in the US may use 3-4 other backbone providers pipes to route your IP packets about the country; whereas, if you instead had their torrent preference set to use the maximally local geographical/routing location of the peers on a torrent you might have something there.
There are things like Geo IP Tool and its brethren but they sometimes stray quite a bit from the actual mark and have absolutely no standard for their naming conventions. There are enough IpV6 address to assign one to every living thing on the planet bigger than an ant.
Tools like this that rely upon IpV4 are not going to be as useful as when people might be born with an IpV6 address embedded in them along with a bunch of other transhumanistic-inspired tech.
How about changing our websites one random day a week or month to online depositories of Chinese pro-democratic material from all Chinese IP addresses?
Agreed, too may people jump from C++ or Java directly to HDL without a good electronics or assembly course inbetween. I would suggest you take both before you jump in with HDL.
If Linux wants to have substantial even ubiquitous marketshare it is going to have to mature. This is going to require the majority of backend developers choosing one API/toolkit/etc to add features to, test for bugs and release on a predictable schedule. Yes, Gnome or KDE may whither or die, too bad. If we do not these steps now, Linux will continue receiving ports of projects developed on other platforms and not real development time.
I've known many engineers like this, forest for the trees folk who can work for years on a sub-assembly and greatly ignore the totality of the project.
I am sure he will find away around this so called bureaucracy of yours as he has been doing quite well for himself in the private sector.
Of course with the new job comes new nomenclature, I present to you ladies and gentlemen the BCCFH (The bastard cybersecucurity czar from hell) and don't worry about assigning him any more power than a normal UNIX sysadmin, he'll get the job done.
Does any industry that deals beyond a niche user base really think they can pay more programmers, writers or artists to compete with a billion people online? What is going to end up happening is that companies that cannot make money off hardware, support services or the like on donation or ad-based platforms while supporting open content will perish trying to desperately sell something that no one considers worth buying. Do they really think this is going to bring in more more money than pissing off an entire generation of people who have grown up programming under Java when it was free? How long do you think it is going to take for these features popping up in a forked version, days or weeks?
Yeah, my question is why they don't have the smarts to do what every college student has been doing for years. Translate what you want to copy into another language in Babblefish, translate it back into English, correct the grammar and use the time you would of taken on writing that paper smoking more pot.
CoS has abused Wikipedia since almost its inception and have been a thorn in the side of the moderators for dozens of articles, but this is not going to stop them until you get a coourt to prohibit them from using the site. CoS specializes in umbrella fpr tax shelters and all sort of even more nefarious things and I bet right now they have a fresh batch of IP address just waiting for this story to die down so they can continue to suppress knowledge by outright censorship and the promulgation from the top to continue their intelligence operations based on their own special brand of disnfo, w extra crazy sauce, threats of lawsuits and calls to physical violence.

Yes, it does.
Men in the 1960's landed on the surface of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune?
Will see a craft reach the surface of one of the gaseous giants. Now that would be a helluva science and engineering project.

If they woke up in the morning and had a bullet in their heads wouldn't that make them some sort of Chinese highlanders?

They actually made a few 30 and 40" CRT monitors. Those pry had to have like 10 lbs of lead in them.

If you build it they will come.

Generation X is dead and their cathode ray tubes are dead, long live the twittering tweens and their lcd screens.

There was one at Brigham Young a few years back discussing collaborative software, nothing quite as polished like this.
