How do you propose we right a loop. A good programming langage allows you to clearly express a logical process. The only other way to program if through a WYSIWYG type of interface that has wizards to handle complex things. These do exist, but only as upper layers to more fundamental programming languages.
Go find your tin-foil hat please. History teaches us that militaries often refuse orders when told to attack their own people. Sure a few nuts might follow along, and you'd end up with different sections of the military fighting among eachother. But its a far cry from what you suggested. And yes, I guess theoretically we could end up with robot armies that can all be controlled by a push of a button from one commander and not be changed by others. Of course such atonomy would require skynet type AI, and I don't see us leaving ourselves in such a situation, but I guess its possible.
Do you have a link to back that up? Everything I've seen implies the opposite. But your right, I did have any facts to support number 4 except general guidelines of the ESRB either, sorry. Though some nudity and sexual situations are allowed in M rated games. Taken individually I'm sure the minigame would have gotten an AO rating, but as a very small part of a larger game I doupt it. Would a movie that had this one sex scene get an X rating? No.
I never laughed. Hell I live in the south, though abortion and gay marriage are definatly non issues for me. I do respect the opinions of most southeners. Though the ones that scream and rant and rave about it generally get laughed at by me.
Well yes, of course. Though I guess it depends upon age obviously, as my 2 year old will repeat anything and everything he sees. My 8 year old will too, if she thinks she can get away with it, but thats another story entirly. Any kid old enough to actually physically play GTA 3 at it does take some cognitive skills to do anything other than just run over pedestrians. Should be old enough to understand right from wrong, assuming said parents bothered with that part.
I would hardly say its useless thats like saying that the PG, PG-13, R etc rating at movies is useless. I do allow my children to watch most PG movies and generally watch it with them unless I exactly know what is in the movie. But an R rated movie I will always preview as simply watching it with them is not enough. Having no rating whatsoever would force me to preview every single thing they watch. A good idea yes, but hardly something anyone has the time for.
Sometimes little things like this are enough to sway many a vote. Expecially when a politican rants about it. Has she expressed interest in this problem and talked about finding out the facts is one thing, but blabbering about something in which she has no idea is a quick way to loose a vote. Kinda reminds me of last election I was going to vote for Barnik and a week away from the elections I read something from 2 months prior of him running at the mouth about how Bush was planning on implementing the draft. I laughed and he lost my vote.
No, had it been included with the game to start with everything would have been fine. Here is the problems. 1) Group A screams and raves about GTA 2) Government states that it is already rated M so there is nothing they can do about it. 3) Group A learns that the game can be changed slightly and gets it into their head that the rating should have been AO 4) Ratings board states that game would have still been an M 5) Group A promply ignored this information and continues ranting because thats what they wanted to do in the first place.
Shit you'd have poor parents giving away their kids as fast as they could. Though this could potentially lead to a large death rate among kids as well.
I believe the button works like it does now, brings up a screen of information. You are then presented with options (existing options are to record this show if the ad is for a TV show, or exit)
Nobody would pay much of anything for something they have seen before. But many people watch shows they have seen before, personally if I'm watching a show I've already seen I'm less likly to skip commericals as I'm just wasting time anyways. That means that the existing model of tv shows with commerical can continue to exist along side the new model of purchasing new episodes that people are willing to pay for. This will keep your bill under control, because obviously if you had to purchase all shows TV viewing would become a lot more expensive.
The article points out that it is mainly for the predownloaded advertisements (TiVo downloads advertisements for you (on my DirecTivo it gets them from a special channel, on regular I think it pulls them over the phone line, though I'm not sure) These are specially placed in your menu system for advertisements TiVo wants you to see. Any special content is already included with this advertisement. They implied that it will also roll out for regular commercials eventually like the more info button does now. I believed these are encoded into the commericals themselves. As you already get "Press thumbs up for more info" message on a few rare commeicals which brings up a product information page. They are adding the ability to respond via this page now, not a huge leap in technology from what they already have.
Lucklily political effects matter a lot nowadays. Hell a century ago if we had todays weapons we woulda just nuked the Middle East by now and been done with it. Luckily media has also come a long way. While you may think the little things our current administration gets away with is atrocious, its nothing compared to the atrocities comitted during WWII or to the Native Americans or the Jews in concentration camps. So with technology the restraint has tilted from personal well-being to one of political stance. The people would revolt if our government did anything truly atrocious. Its all relative really.
And before you say that X was atrocious to you, you have to consider that WHAT the people as a whole consider atrocious has changed with time. It will be a long time before the population as a whole share the views of some of the radicals. But consider just a hundred years ago you would be been considered radical if you suggested desegregation. Things do improve, just don't expect everyone to be in the same boat.
We have had the atomic bomb for around what 70 years now. It has these capabilities. Given the ability to completly destroy your enemy seems to cause atleast some rationality to enter into the minds of the controllers of such weapons.
Not to mention the fact that the idea of a multilink really should be client side. A properly defined standard and a browser plugin would make this idea go much farther. And the links could properly downgrade if this was handled through a css property of some sort.

Pig Sperm in Space

· Score: 2, Insightful
Its not about PIGS per say, but more about sperm in general tolerances for space. There are a lot of stuff to learn and why not. Assuming this is a small research addon to an existing mission.
Personally dropping spam during send at the SMTP is the best. They can either 1 resend reducing their output and its something they rarly do. 2 Add you to the unavailable server list. Luckly this has the side effect of allowing through legitimate emails as all legit mail will resent after a timeout.
At work we did a study using state DOE data, we showed a correlation between high scoring (we review Juvenile detention programs by visiting them and scoring them on different benchmarks) programs and students rate of returning to school and graduating. Seems pretty obvious, and the results were as we expected. Odd thing is another team did a followup study with their own methods, both of which seemed to make sense, except they were studying kids released a year later than the ones we studied. They produced absolutly no correlation in their results. I methods seemed perfectly fine, I still havn't run their cohort against our methods to test it out. But otherwise I can't figure out what went wrong. But I guess thats just the nature of studies sometimes.
Thats why I never understood why cable companies charge more for digital cable. It cost them less, and if they wanted to they could even offer a digital version of the limited channel selection on analog. But they don't, if they offered digital at the same price (plus cable box) now most people would switch, then they could kill the analog and save a lot of money.
Simple, radio spectrum is valuable and limited. Analog TV uses a lot of radio spectrum. One they get rid of Analog there will be a lot of spectrum available for the government to resell to others. Effectivly the FCC is saying that in 2009 all broadcasters will be revoked their license for existing analog spectrum. It will be resold at a much higher price, and used digitally so many more things can use it. Hopefully much of it will be allotted to the public for things like WiFi, but that is yet to be seen.
shrugs, in country dept is just a fiction anyways. Its like borrowing from your left pocket to put in your right pocket. The People borrowing from the people. Heck the government can even change its interest rate at will. Of course dept to other countries is a bad thing. Though I don't quite know why a trade deficit is bad. (We are importing more stuff than we are exporting, therefor we have to do less work for more stuff. Effectivly we are exporting our money. Sounds good to me!:)
But gravity in this case in the centripetal force, I guess we could say gravity balances inercia, but that is just plain confusing. So what exactly is gravity balancing against?

Kids play it and think its the real word, thus they go out and shoot people thinking they can get away with it like they did in the game.
You speak like its epidimic, I believe there is one case of a kid claiming his shooting spree was influenced by GTA.
