Why caring about facebook, we have some libraries, wikipedia, mediawiki and other interesting stuff to store. Now if we did have some kind of wikipedia where we can store how to build everything needed from using our 10 fingers to build all the tools and industrial processes to be able to build a computer, that could also be of value to save...
And my wife ask me why I don't like to pay with any plastic cards (credit and/or debit)... I always pay cash whenever i can. Even if all my transactions are legal, some could be frowned upon but not illegal (not yet), I don't like my bank or any other private corporation to know what I do and what i like.
That is so true. I have stopped counting the number of library/API I have not used because I was unable to put the pieces together due to bad documentation. I had to use other library with less functionalities but having all the documentation needed to start using them and explaining how they worked. For example, i have chosen to use Guile over Lua (At the time Lua would have been more easy to use for me than Guile) because at the time I made the choice, the Guile documentation was better over how to integrate it with your programs and i did found a list of do and don't explaining what you should do and you shouldn't do. This last point in itself was the best thing ever really saving me from lots of headaches.
En what? 9/11 barelly killed half of what diarrhea kill EVERY DAY. Fighting diarrhea is far less costly than fighting this so called terrorism. The real terrorists are these states instilling fear of terrorism in the population. And let me laught when they say that they have so good information about a next terrorist attack that they need to stengthen the security worldwide and not just where the next attack would be. This is probably an attempt to talk about something else than snowden and the surveillance state in the medias...
The problem is that Google get more an more app out of the play store (eg: GameCIH (memory editor), Rooting app...). Now it is hard to find these app, you need to go to shaddy places to sideload them. This is 'great' for security:(
I like Waze very much and use it from time to time but I find very frequently that Waze make you take really stupid roads sometime more slower than the one with the traffic jams:/ Other problems I have with Waze are: From time to time it doesn't seems to be able to start the GPS of my tablet, Reboot my tablet just before an exit I should have taken on the motorway, Slow to detect that I have not taken its planned path... Else I use Google navigation with lot less problems but I get in the traffic jams each time when i need to go in town:(
Now Google navigation with the traffic jam avoidance of Waze could be really be good.
My first experience was with a SHARP PC1500A and a book full of games in BASIC to type and run. Then wanting to change these games (more lives, more/less difficulty/speed...) I learned how these programs worked and the meaning of each instruction. Later on a Sinclair ZX81 I followed this practice with another book with games in BASIC. Then an book on assembly for the ZX where you did have an example of assembly code equivalent for each BASIC instruction and an explanation for all the Z80 op-codes. From this I started learn assembly. With the help of a reference book describing the hardware of the ZX and lot of magazines articles, I started to add memory (2K, 16K, then 128K with a 8K window like EMS for the PC), mechanical keyboard, sound generator, eeprom memory to store code/data between reset/shutdown, logical and analogical I/O, speech synthesizer... Years later I received a PC (TANDY 1000 EX) with GW-BASIC, followed by a copy of TURBO PASCAL with its incredible online help and the SWAG archive. With the help of the reference 8086 documentation I began to learn x86 assembly to boost my pascal programs. VISUAL BASIC let me create windows easily, but was quickly replaced by BORLAND PASCAL. Way more later, at school, I learned C on a HP 9000, Fortran on HP 1000/RTE, 68000 assembly on a development board, IBM S/360 assembly on a VM of a S/390, SmallTalk, Prolog, Lisp (CLISP) and Smeci.
I have tried very hard by 2 times to use Dojo to develop a web application (1st try in the 1.2 era and the 2nd try with 1.9 since a week).
I get it somehow working with the 1.2 version with some workarounds (eg: I can't get it to insanciate a message box on demand. I have to have one hidden in my page, replace its content and display it when needed).
With 1.9, I can't even get it to load some HTML to put an horizontal menu in a content panel. And all the examples I find on internet are from older versions of dojo.
If I could just find some kind of template application with a login screen and a master/detail screen with the basic ADD/UPDATE/DELETE sub screens all done within one html page. I could start from that. But for now the examples are not enough to start using dojo has it should be used. And the available examples are diluted in the google results in a way that they are nearly impossible to find:/
I contrast jQuery is simpler to use, get a lot of plugins to add what you need it to do and 'lighter' that you can split your application on multiple page without having a loading time betwwen user intercation too long making the application feel unresponsive...
I like really the design of Dojo. But the step is too high for me to use it:( I should stick to jQuery:/
For the desktops. Why not use the wake-on-lan feature of most of the current bios? You can then wake up your computer when the AV or the Backup need them...
A 5mW green laser can blind you for some time. I was pointing my laser to the other side of the room but somehow forgot about the mirror on the other side:( Get it back directly in one of my eyes. I did have a dark spot for some minutes (~10min) like when you look at very bright light.
There is a problem with your proposal: The time they grab their eyewear, the beam will be in their eyes:/ They should wear them all time to be effective. And these eyewear generally reduce incoming light and thus what the pilot can see:(
I have thought about another method: - Each politician have 12 points at its first mandate. - Lose 4 point per regected proposal. - Lose 1 point per regected amendment to a proposal. - Can gain once per year 4 points back if he go back to follow an administrative cursus for 3 months - Can gain back 2 point if he didn't loose any point during the last 2 years - When he loose all of its points he can't be a politician anymore
I can move my car by pushing it. But I can't steer it without the keys tanks to the assisted direction making nearly impossible to steer without the engine running.
Exactly. They don't check Mr & Ms everybody on the road for that. But thet check particularly cars of peoples who work for transport companies or in farms. My father was checked 'regularly' for red teint in the engine by the police as the owner of a transport company...
When i was young my father did have bottles of sulfuric acid and an opened 50kg bag of ammonium nitrate in the garage. We also have a lot of cleaning product that can be mixed together to make some nice explosive or colored fires in the storage room. We did have a room full of electronics component where we build models (cars, planes) with radio commands. The sulfuric acid was for the car batteries, the ammonium nitrate for killing the grass/plants mostly in the alley... I even used the ammonium nitrate with sugar against the moles making big holes in the garden on the same occasion. I did event come into possession of cyanide or made some high explosive (picric acid) with a biochemist friend. If these cops have been in my home, the whole family would have been locked up:/
"Climate change directly affects the reproduction of sea turtles in three ways. First, sea level rise will affect significant nesting beach areas on low-level sand beaches such as Bonaire, the Maldives and the Great Barrier Reef. Second, rising temperatures increase the chance that sand temperature will exceed the upper limit for egg incubation, which is 34 degrees C. Third, rising temperatures bias the sex ratio toward females because temperature during incubation determines the sex of the egg. Loggerhead turtle nests in Florida are already producing 90 percent females owing to high temperatures, and if warming raises temperatures by an additional 1 degree C or more, no males will be produced there. "
"Score one point for full disclosure". I don't think so. "Score one for bad publicity" yes. With the previous customer looking somewhere else to provide new lock as Onity wheren't caring about them and their promise of high security electronic locks...
Then the US will ask your extradition to be judged for helping a terrorist organisation by not providing them the requested datas.... Whatever you do, you are fucked:-/
Could they encrypt they data? And only a subsidiary who only work for the provider have the keys? That way, they can ask the datas, but not the keys because the company holding the keys doesn't work in the states...
They are also too scared to make they 'partners' angry at them that they are willingly sacrificing their surface computer. Surface is failing because I am unable to test it before buying it in any shop around me. And it seems that it is a good thing with the keyboard getting cracks in just some days/weeks of usage... Moreover, making the 'pro' version of it with half the battery life is just crazy, because the pro version should have the double of battery life to be a contender.
For me, Surface is just a tech demo. Nothing else.
Why? It is something i see regularly in public services: When you get budgets cuts (generally on the workforce budget line), you spend more on external services/companies to do the same work with worst SLAs. As it is not the same budget line all is ok:(
Try to reverse engineer a non functioning microprocessor with a out of order electronic microscope... Building a civilisation is hard enough to not add the complexity of reverse engineering the previous one.
Steam users are games that want the latest and best of what their money can buy, and on the shelves only windows 7 computers are available. Companies want to keep their knowledge/trainning as long as possible, and/or one of their core application doesn't work on windows 7, and/or the investment in new softwares adapted to windows 7 is too high. Companies have a bunch of "good" reasons to keep XP.

Done the same during the algorithm course. On a turing machine you don't have such shiny operators like addition even less multiplication :)

Some animals are far more susceptible to such narrow change in GW than to deforestation and encroachment:
