Remote work is great for competent people. That last part is what's missing.
Why would anyone in their right mind go into STEM when an MBA gets you twice the money for less work?
Because they would rather not sell their soul and work in HR and don't want to have the prerequisite lobotomy for management and sales requires you to be a reptilian?
Even with current technology we could theoretically make a 16 ly journey in somewhere around 1,000 years.
No, we couldn't. We don't have the technology right now to build a multi-generational ship. We don't even have the technology right now to send an unmanned probe that would still be powered by the time it got there. We don't even have the technology right now to build an unmanned probe that would shut itself down and bring itself back up after 1000 years. Hell, it's hard to find a motherboard from the 80's that doesn't need capacitors replaced before it can be booted up again.
Who knows what kind of technology we'll have in 300,000 years, though. And the closest the destination, the more likely something can actually get there.
We probably could but it might take devoting the entire worlds GDP for a decade or so and there is noway that would happen. We need the technological advances so that it would approach affordability.
No if it were not for petitions we would not had the initiative put on the ballot where it succeeded, therefor it is not "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" as you say but simple cause and effect.
No self respecting old timer would admit to using Joe as their editor. How the hell do you plan on getting the VI vs. EMACS flames fanned with such a claim you insensitive clod?
Ed is the standard text editor. Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
Actually if they were to run a torrent site they would loose any right to sue as they would be distributing said files and it would no longer be illegal.
Speaking of what everyone wants, hoo-ray for the built-in video chat! They finally relented, after years of users clamoring for this necessary feature, to bundle it into their flagship product *even though* it meant they would have to postpone fixing some of the regressions that have come up recently.
Thanks Firefox. Thirefox.
A lot.
This (web video chat) is something that really should have been put in Thunderbird not Firefox, but unfortunately the powers that be at Mozilla seems to have decided that it should join SeaMonkey in being their neglected redhead step child, while they continue to throw shit into Firefox (which was meant to be the striped down powerful simple browser), or try to compete outside of their core competency focusing on projects like FirefoxOS, or Mozilla Marketplace, all the while trying to ape chromes interface.
Still, the only advantage is if someone manages to run Linux on it.
Why? If anything running a Linux distro other than Android will make it less useful.
For you maybe but for people like me this is just what I would want Linux with a touch screen. As is now I don't game much other than seduku on my tablet but constantly find my self needing to do something I could easily on desktop Linux and don't get me started on the horrible mobile browsers and mobile websites that keep redirecting from desktop to mobile no matter what you do.
Plus this is somewhere that a desktop environment like unity would shine unlike a more conventional desktop.
For example, the cloned sheep Dolly was born after 277 eggs were used for SCNT, which created 29 viable embryos. Only three of these embryos survived until birth, and only one survived to adulthood.[11]
I think it's still worthwhile... not getting 'ethics' confused with 'morality'. But anyone who was bothered by Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion may have an issue with this.
Well It is a highly social animal that could live with other related animals (Asian/African elephants). Like how we keep sheep and goats or lamas and alpacas, horses and donkeys and mules together.
As for the many eggs needed things have improved since dolly. For example we can revert skin cells into a stem cell and change the stem cell into a egg now. (http://www.healthline.com/health-news/tech-researchers-make-sperm-and-eggs-from-adult-skin-cells-082613)
If making a Asian elephant carry the mammoth fetus could be dangerous for it why not use a larger African elephant.
not all users will be breaking the law, the first item sold on it was Honey, I plan to buy and sell completely legal items on there, I'm not a fan of ebay and their fees, or their rules, like "no food" etc, a lot of perfectly legal items that I can sell on the street legally can't be sold on Ebay
As a peer-to-peer system it could get ugly when they (law enforcement) develop a way to find out which peers are holding certain bits of information, such as offers to buy/sell contraband items. You could be convicted as an accessory because you merely passed along other users' data.
that is why we have dmca safe harbor laws the one good part of the dmca. its why gmail isn't shutdown for facilitating drug sales as well

you invest in a company to make money... sooner or later, your investors will bail if they don't see a return.
what kind of business likes to see their investors bail?
Considering the benefits, bring on the laws that mandate that each stop light wifi/bluetooth/whatever broadcasts its state.
Good luck with that. Most stoplights are still using incandescent bulbs and run simply on timers that don't take the actual amount of traffic at the intersection at the time of day into account.
Based on some of the light were I live I am pretty sure some of them are using a random number generator rather than timer to decide how goes next and for how long.
The CD problem you refer to is not a fault of the operating system, but rather the drive and the motherboard bios. I've had similar issues on both Linux and iOS with optical media
how the hell did you have an optical drive failure on iOS?
it is more than just removing decals though it is more like they welded shut the ignition and broke the key off in the door locks and then say not our problem because we removed the decals before we broke it
what they did not only is refusing to fix some one else’s product but they broke some one else property for because third party made a knockoff. attack the producer sure but that does not give you the right to break other peoples shit maliciously
Its like you taking you car into a dealer them finding you got a oil change at a non-dealer mechanic so they brick engine control chips on your cars on board computer and saying its you problem you can fix it you just need to overhaul then engine to get at it and re flash the firmware and it will work fine. So its not broken even though it won't start and requires special equipment and non trivial time money and knowledge to fix.
for all intents and purposes it is broken and they are responsible for breaking it

QED bitches -xkcd
It will be as successful as the "legalize marijuana" petition.
Well it seems to have worked out just fine where I live here in Washington state and in Colorado also.
There is a reason the Constitution guanantees that no search can be made without a warrant.
You do realize this article is about England not the US? They don't have to fallow our Constitution.

"loose"?
yes committed the unpardonable sin of a submitting typo. **cough cough, grammer nazi cough**
Actually if they were to run a torrent site they would loose any right to sue as they would be distributing said files and it would no longer be illegal.
They should repeal it completely. But that will not happen as every one of those congress-critters are bought and paid for.
Congress wants a more strict DMCA. Hell I bet some of those on capitol hill would support a death penalty for copyright violations.
I don't think all of it should be abolished it completely, for example as a freenet node opporator appreciate the safe harbor clause.
sounds like the local college were they block steam's forums but not their game servers so you can't discuses games just play them.
What Firefox needs is an email client!
Why, what's wrong w/ Thunderbird? If you want an equivalent of Netscape Communicator 4 (remember that?), then SeaMonkey is the right choice
woosh.

I can just see the Java and C# factions forming.
That will leave the task of writing legislation to the third guy. The one who codes in Malbolge.
Its government the would write laws in obfuscated Brainfuck just to screw with us.

I don't understand... what would be unethical about this?
Forcing an Asian elephant to be a "mother" to another species, one that might harm her.
Forcing solitary existence on what appears to be a highly social species.
That, and often you'd need 100s of zygotes to create a few viable organisms that survive to adulthood.
Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
For example, the cloned sheep Dolly was born after 277 eggs were used for SCNT, which created 29 viable embryos. Only three of these embryos survived until birth, and only one survived to adulthood.[11]

Suddenly ethical issues disappeared.
Yes. Look for open source code. Copy and Paste. Delete copyright notice.
That's how it works in the real world!
With Bsd and mit license yes
It's surprising how many people will speak louder and slower to you if you do shave your eyebrows off.
On a related note they also become very disturbed when they find out it got burnt off in a chemistry experiment resulting in a delayed fireball.
The best parts of high school years was having chemistry books and no supervision at home for hours.

What kind of DVR can playback tv shows from the future? Is that a MythTv plugin?
More interestingly is it piracy when you download a show that hasn't been filmed yet?
so?
