What an idiot. Peikoff obviously does not know the first thing about agnosticism. And I hate it when people quote some jack ass expert on a subject, who merely states an opinion without any supporting facts. Quoting people like this gives them unwarranted credibility.
You can be an agnostic and be very spiritual. One is knowledge, the other is faith.
I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I just don't care any more. The RIAA has worn me out. I hate all music now. I never want to buy any of their crap again.
I'll just eat the magical fruit and toot myself to death.
Model Railroading offers many opportunities to build things that have an immediate purpose. Blinking LED projects, sound, electronically controlled motors for crossings.
I built a small N scale project that needed three voltages; 3, 12 and variable 12 volts. I used one of those old laptop bricks and a few voltage regulators, diodes, caps and resistors and I was all set. BTW, I knew nothing about electronics, just kept reading as much as I could and it started to make sense. It really helped to mix something I knew ( modeling ) with something new ( electronics ) with a simple goal, make some trains run.
As for cheap, most of the parts were free through scavenging and some were bought from Digi Key.
How about spending the resources on busting pedophiles and exposing pedophile rings instead? Or was that too straightforward and precise?
That would involve time, money and intelligence. Something that governments, by definition, are always in short supply of. Politicians ALWAYS take the easy way and most Press friendly route. They will do what looks good now, even if they know it will be a failure later. Hopefully during the next administration.
a form of mutually assured destruction intended to keep each company in check
But, isn't this what we want? Micorsoft has twenty+ years of uncompetitive behavior and Google is showing an ever increasing disdain for their corporate motto. Something about doing no evil. HA!
So, maybe this is exactly what we need to keep the behemoths reined in.
And that would be great. But, for the most part of what I have seen; 99,99% of twitter is twit tweets. That makes the good stuff impossible to find. What is the business model to keep twitter afloat?
Absolute bollocks, teenagers don't use twitter because THEY CANT AFFORD MOBILE PLANS FOR THE VOLUME OF MESSAGES IT TAKES TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE FUCKING JOBS. Also you cant completely trash the appearance of your profile and put a really bad post-punk emo song somewhere hard to turn off that auto-plays on load.
How about this. TWITTER SUCKS!
I have gotten sick of everyone's mental diarrhea. Endless, boring blogs and social networking sites. The best thing so far has been YouTube for getting the word out. That isn't saying much...
They should be teaching you how to think. How to take requirements and turn them into a finished product. After all, you are going to school for a CS degree. Not Management. Not Business. Not Math. Not Physics. But, Computers.
You need to understand the problem, break it down into manageable components and develop a plan. Take that plan and design a solution. Code that solution. Debug that solution. Design that solution. Code that solution. Debug that solution. Design that solution. And so on.
Note that I did not mention an language, a discipline or an industry. It applies to building a payroll system to a new gene sequencer.
I can't stand the grads that I have seen in the past ten years. They KNOW everything. They know JAVA. They can not dissemble a problem into workable, manageable parts. They can not read. They can not write. Schools need to get back to the basics and teach the student how to survive in the real world.
I don't give a crap about Oracle or Python, as next week, I might have to use MySQL and C#.
So far, in the past three years, I have used all of them, and then some. However, I have never used Java beyond learning it. Knowing that, I would still learn it. It gave me a different perspective on things I still do today.
This is perfectly normal and has happened over and over again in history. Goldman Sachs is like that family member you can't stand to see, hear or know anything about. However, if someone outside of the family comes between you, you close ranks and defend against the invaders.
When I was in college, during the Cretaceous period, we shared textbooks within our study groups. We then sold them to the next semester's students, if possible. Pissed off many published professors and the school bookstore.
Of course, back then, they were fragile clay tablets. Highlighting was a bitch.
However, Yahoo never pretended to be anything other than what they are. You know who/what you are dealing with.
Google promised to do no evil and they have. That's an even greater evil. They slip the knife between the ribs and rip your heart out. Not flamebait or troll, reality.

Will Old Glory Insurance provide a policy for this new menace?
In the meantime, I am putting my medicine under lock and key!

Orwell's "1984" is not about socialism gone wrong. It is about socialism gone right.
Hits the nail right on the head.
Really? In this economic environment? I'd have to be pretty damn sure that where I was going was better than the pot I was simmering in.
It give me the creeps knowing how Apple does business. It is obvious that this busniess partner is evil and they continue to work with them.
yeah, it certainly does smell.

Incredible crap out there.
It has nothing to do with drugs. This is Slashdot where people make all sorts of wild claims, regardless of facts.

If it works, it would be a very green... er... yellow solution.

My tax dollars already paid for this info.
the new release is sure to prompt Web designers to create pages tailored to the Web's new language
Although, I would be happy if Slashdot would work right with the existing standards.
True.

heh, I deserved that! :)
I can't mod ya, but I would.

They have certainly come a long way. They have become too big, powerful and evil. I have actually gone back to Yahoo, out of principle.
