Young people and older people are both good but generally for different reasons. It goes without saying there are talented younger and older people. There are good companies to work for and bad. Some want to squeeze every last ounce of work out of you and don't care if you have a life, others want you to live a full and balanced life. There are no absolutes in this field.
Why even deduce the intelligence of the person? First of all, this requires knowledge of the person searching, so more tracking of people and what they do or say. Second, they're most certainly going to be wrong in a large percentage of cases and will probably offend the person searching.
Give people a way to tune the results themselves.. maybe I want an overview of a topic to see what it's about, and another day I want to delve deeper.
Way to turn something simple into something that requires more tracking and profiling because, I guess, that's the trendy thing to do these days.
I own about 80 to 100 games between my XBox 360 and Playstation 3. Around 50% of them are new (or 50% are used, depending on your perspective).
NONE OF THEM ARE PIRATED.
And yet I'm made to feel like a bad person for buying a used game, which really, really offends me as a paying customer for many years.
I'm not sure I will even buy one of the upcoming consoles.
Some EU politicians alleged that their colleagues had been "held to ransom"by the US authorities, who threatened to suspend visa-free travel to the US if the deal was rejected.
Yeah, the Olympics is a bigger crock of shit every year. I feel sorry for the athletes - they need a better venue.
Half the sports are about being 1/100th of a second faster than second place which is insignificant, really. You could catch a gust of wind and lose that amount of time. They're all the best in the world - nuff said.
I like the idea of working on a function at a time, not a file at a time. Code folding in VIM gets me part of the way, but searching for text unfortunately includes folded text and automatically opens the fold for me. Not what I want. Technically, functions shouldn't be that long to have to search but in reality, one has to work with 'fine' code sometimes.:)
I think we should send life to Mars as well. Plants, bacteria, insects. Finding life on Mars will prove little, if anything, as life could still have originated here on Earth and been jettisoned to Mars millenia ago via asteroid impacts. If life on Earth is the only life in the universe, then it's our job to spread it.
That's the nice thing about throwing rocks from the peanut gallery: You can throw them if they don't implement a feature, and still throw them if they do implement it. Well played, sir.
In a 2008 auction, an anonymous bidder spent $5,300 for actress Scarlet Johansson's snotty handkerchief. While most people wouldn't waste their savings on soiled celebrity memorabilia, Hutson said almost everyone is guilty of attaching undue significance to objects associated with people they idealize.
Call it the placebo effect if you want, but if something influences the way you act and feel, it's as real as it needs to be.
When you find a great article, you want to share that knowledge with people who will find it interesting, too. If you see a great movie, you want to recommend it to friends.
I don't want to necessarily share anything. I want to search, that's all. Now I've moved my 'business' to a company that focuses on Search and avoids the profiling and making assumptions about what I want to do with what I've found.
What's to stop anyone from creating their own site? Slashcode is free. Meld that with something like digg (except with clueful readers) and the users can control the submissions (since your gripe seems to be with the editors of this site). Sounds easy, but I'll bet it isn't.
My guess is the editors have so many stories to choose from, they've got some keyword filters set up and pick out of that lot. That would explain why there are so many stories along the same lines, which gets kind of repetitive.
The $0 (dollar-zero) expands to the name of your script (including path) so you don't need to be in the same directory. Now add $HOME/.ssh to your PATH and you can run it from anywhere.
Check out the source code. Sounds like you need to find a "Rick" NPC character to talk to:
if(npc.kind === Types.Entities.RICK) {
this.tryUnlockingAchievement("RICKROLLD");
}
If it were another company, I'd say building a subscriber base and selling out to a big company later on. But this is Google - they are the big company.:)
This is my personal data and it is starting to become unbelievably unruly to deal with as far as data integrity and security are concerned.
Keep all your important files in a version control system. Personally, I use Perforce (it's free for 2 users or less). That gives you: multi-revision history and checkin comments, an easy way to pull a subset of files to any computer in your house, and peace of mind that you don't need to worry about kids deleting anything important as it's all stored on the server with history. Also easy to see what has changed on any computer and check those files in. And there's a big win for data integrity checks: Perforce stores the checksum of all files (and revisions) and can easily check that every file still matches the checksum in the central database. If you have any disk corruption, you'll know about it when you run 'p4 verify -q//...'. You can store files of several gigabytes each with no problem.
On top of this, I use rsync to copy the server data onto backup drives. I'm also looking at storing backups online, but haven't taken that step yet.
I've been using this system for years and I couldn't imagine being without it. It's so easy to find and retrieve exactly what I want - my resume 5 revisions ago, my tax return, photos from 2003. Even without that, the data integrity checks give a lot of peace of mind.
And warning people about safe things just desensitizes them to warnings about things that actually *can be* dangerous. When that happens, more harm is done than good.

Get your tin foil hat ready. What computer program are *we* running? Make the rich richer 2.0?

https://ixquick.com/ I've been using this search engine for probably 2 years or so and it returns results as good as any other.

Hey, want to go for coffee?
I always wondered about those "souvenir penny" machines that squish a penny and imprint it with something else.
How about an initial commercial and then 1 per 15 minutes of video content viewed.

Also:

Not sure what the number means yet, but I'm going to find out!

Is jail time just going to drive his hatred deeper? I wonder if forcing him into counselling/education would have been a better avenue.
