So, what would happen if all the rational people in the US ran for all of the available offices? Given that so many people in the US just vote randomly instead of using relevant information couldn't damn near every incumbent be pushed out in about 10 years?
Independents, heck, they could call it the Independence Party and pool resources but not policy. Anyone running independently could basic support.
Anyone know how many public offices there are in the US? Where's a good place for political data?
but... it's... a... beta OS! OS! Not image manager software, but actually the OS is beta! You don't do this for the risk of corrupting files on a low level. Not in a live box.
It's like using a development box where you do kernel fs programming for your mail server!
That's my point. You're running beta software as your primary OS! People can call it flamebait or whatever, but
Congrats for unplugging btw. I threw my tv out 5 years ago and since bought a house, started a software company and learned German. Had to get another one though since I also go a new girlfriend:/
I call bs. 10000 photos and 7000 songs on a beta OS with no mention of backups as your primary media server? Even if it were true it's a horrible idea to take advice from someone so cavalier.
A friend of mine did in Georgia. When he had a couple of new recruits show up, one of which was willing to donate money to the cause, intelligent and almost too interested, I pointed out the obvious to him.
Clearly gasoline has more energy; however, we're talking discharge. Unless you drink all the gasoline, then light it, you will not transfer all of that energy to your body nearly as fast as a cap' will.
I also bet that the auto you witnessed exploding had a relatively empty tank, since gasoline vapor explodes and liquid just burns. What's more, you refer to "cutting all power from the capacitor". If the capactor has not been discharged, it can kill. No amount of protection will prevent the potential for exposure, since by definition contacts have to be available - even if it's in a airplan black box.
The problem is not energy running from the cap in the planned conduits and the need to cut that, it's the unplanned connections of bend chards of metal from the wreck. Or a choice case-crack.
A television doesn't already possess enough safeguards to prevent people from getting seriously injured from the cap's periodically, and they have been around for a while. Otherwise I might be inclined to believe you.
I disagree, but not directly. The medium you use to build an app affects how you can divide your time out across development. Mucking around with html and browser nuances deplete your effort in other typically last minutes areas such as adequate field validation. All else being equal, if you use a medium intended for applications and not just html you're likely to have more time to sanity check your work.
And seeing as the idiot programmers are multiplying...;)
Is it really? I mean, don't we all reuse some part of our previous projects? Even if it's just a basic framework such as Hivemind, or a favorite logging facility or just plain experience. Those things apply in the client server world too. And frankly, mocking up and implementing a swing application is not difficult. Heck, it was built for all the things AJAX is toted as the solution to.
Should this become the path the energy comsuming manufacturers take (cars, laptops, tools, etc), anyone who is not familiar with electronics, please tatoo the following thought in your mind for your own sake:
A capacitor can discharge at an equally alarming rate as this charge time suggests. To take a phrase from Mohamar Khadafi in the eighties, you cross this line, you die.
Seriously - discharging a capacitor will kill you instantly without the proper safeguards in place. Get into a choice car-accident where this connection is made and kaboom! It will explode - if you are the connection, you will die.
A tank of gasoline has nothing on a charged capacitor. Just ask any poor fool who has mucked around with the innards of a television set shortly after unplugging it.
So would it be technically possible at this point to move away from the web application and back to the client server app? Here's a path example:
* Java Client * Servlet Interface for the client * Java webstart deployment * Java plugin on the clients
For this path the questions would surround authenticating the client and the hassle of installing the java plugin.
Rinse and repeat for the obligatory Microsoft solution.
I've never been a fan of web applications and form given the simplicity of creating an SQL injection attack or XSS for that matter. At least if the client application was built for the specific application you expose yourself to less or more obscure security vulnerabilities by nature.
Wouldn't they just use walkie-talkies? Masking censorship behind protecting legitimate transmitters from interference is a ruse. If you don't believe it's a deliberate attempt, here's an example of what ends media conglomerates will go to to protect their interests from the population of a country:
If you consider only realistic scenarios, it's possible for a dynamic, ungoverned system to exist and support the interests of everyone using the system. It's people moving in a crowd at a concert. They don't just gridlock and die, they cooperate.
If you go into a public park on a nice summer day, set up a concert quality sound system (read: very loud, but not that good...) and proceed to shout, "Fuck!" into the microphone so everyone in the park is assaulted by your curse-wording antics, I'm pretty sure you'll be asked to leave (and maybe fined or even arrested.)
Actually, Tori Amos did this at a concert in Georgia last year at Chastain Amphitheatre. Seems she misplaced a lyric or two during a set and said "Now if I can remember my fucking lyrics". And yet she wasn't asked to leave the stage.
Seems most people within earshot thought it was funny and those that didn't were adults about it.
How about answering your own question with a little math, shall we?
Let's say there are 10000 business majors and 50% of them cheat. That's 5000 cheating business people. Now, lets say there are 5000 engineerings and 50% of them cheat. That's 2500 cheating engineers.
So, there's a pretty big difference between 2500 people and 5000 people. You have to normalize against the entire population or the percentages are pretty much useless. 17% cheating from engineers and 33% from business majors across just these two groups in this example.
Clearly honesty isn't someone one could conclude since honesty includes more than just cheating. Stealing for example.
So, no, I'm not fucking retarded. I'm an engineer you sociopath.
Except that companies use big vehicles occasionally. Not all Ford F-350's are recreational vehicles you know. Taxing small businesses into the ground isn't the way to run a state. If you except small businesses from the tax, then auto dealers would provide free small business registrations with every vehicle.
California needs a computer controlled Personal Rapid Transit system.
I'd argue that it's because they want more of your money. If you figure it cost less to supply an instructor in less difficult classes and tuition is constant, that guy and other AP credit monkeys cost the universities dearly in the area of highest profit.
I'd also argue that most of what you get from college is contacts! You shouldn't have to go to a job fair out of college. Instead you should have about 150 new friends, a few of which have already graduated, and enough connections to land a job, know the right salary to negotiate around, and provide yourself with some options.
Isn't this more or less the same as the "news reports" on television which are actually paid for advertisements? I mean, sure they have more license to mislead since there isn't a broadcasting company vetting the commercials for legal implications, but it's still deceptive multimedia.
Someone's post related this to piracy on the seas, or dumping toxis sludge when noone was around to spot them, but youTube is bound to be a bit different - this sludge isn't sludge until someone views it, at which point it can be demoted as disinformation. At that point, this slashdot posting would be as significant as a posting about a troll writing a misleading comment.
So give it 6 months and this story will only have historic significance.
Sort of. If you are in charge of the US government, you are in charge of *a* government. And a government has inefficiencies in every section. If you deal with these in the areas that are important to you and leave them in the areas which are not, this is equivalent to putting the inefficiencies in selected places. Are you a programmer? It's comparable to a mask.
For example, let's say you have an agency that collects taxes. The tax agency has inefficiencies in it. Let's say the agency has problems with cashing incoming tax checks and reimbursing overpayments. Depending on which of these is more important to you, the efficiency will be dealt with and resolved. If you lead the government, accounts receivable are important to you and payable are not as important. Therefore the cashing of incoming checks is improved until it is almost instantaneous and overpayments are resolved once a year. Make sense? Sound familiar?
Now, let's say your government (meaning the one you control) is managed by wealthy people and you have an agency that aids regions during natural disasters...
Then, let's say your government is securely in your control, yet is responsible for collecting citizen's votes...
The inefficiencies which are important to you get attention, the one's which either benefit you or you are indifferent to do not.
I think that this combined unit is more versatile and a better idea than even your assertions suggest. For example, there are no cords between the cpu and the monitor, there is a smaller footprint for the system. Buying a newer system leaves you with an "old" system. Do you throw it in the landfill? Less likely if it has a monitor built in and you can resell it instead. It does after all have value.
As for having a large box to stow, the beige cases fall victim to that as well and I've never heard anyone complain about having two displays running at once. And I think you're also picking and choosing your arguments too, but suggesting auctioning off the monitor but not the entire unit, or the desire to upgrade a system w/o upgrading the display when both are fast moving technologies.
As for value of one model over the other, the market has already proven that a combined cpu and display is preferred. Just look at the notebook computer as a case study.

No different than having three flat panels in front of you. Only the one in front get's 100%, but the other two are negliably smaller.
Your brain will compensate.
