Or we could just use the already well developed nuclear technologies that we have now. Granted there are higher startup costs, but it pays for itself in the long run. Developed countries, such as the US, getting 50% electricity from coal is inexcusable.
I'm not going to say Obama is perfect, but I don't recall him starting any wars. Although, he has gotten involved in some existing conflicts. Also, there is nothing hypocritical about supporting some wars and opposing others.
IMO, C++ needs checked exceptions. Functions should declare any type they are going to throw, and the compiler should enforce that functions throw only declared types, and that all callers catch those exceptions. As it stands, the throw operator only creates a run time check, that by default exits the program if the wrong type is thrown (not very useful). Until it can be enforced a compile time so I can make sure everything is handled, I will avoid exceptions in C++.
Indeed, you should be careful reporting anything illegal. Remember this guy. Unfortunately many law enforcement agents would rather go after a whistle blower, who may be easier to prosecute, then build up a case against the real criminals.
I stand corrected, there is more to the tool than I knew about. However, I still disagree that that is the only advantage over su, which requires you to know the root password, start a new shell, do your command, and exit. Most users use sudo in the manor I described. Why else would most systems ship with an admin group in the sudoer file with all permissions?
You don't. The whole point of sudo is that it gives you fine-grained control over the privileges of each user.
sudo, is used to run as root. The point is to allow the user to do a quick operation with root permissions, then go back to running as a normal user. It doesn't "give you fine-grained control over the privileges of each user."
Frankly, I have no idea why so many idiots think they have to take each and every call right away. I see no problem with letting a call/text go to voicemail and getting back to them on MY schedule.
I'm generally like you, but don't make the assumption that everyone falls into your use case. Some people may have jobs where they need to be completely reachable at times. They may be taking care of a sick relative, and need to be reached in case of an emergency. What works for you and me may not work for everyone, and that doesn't make them idiots.
Lawyers please chime in, but as I understood it the right of publicity is for celebrities, who stand to make money from endorsements(advertising). Why would FB want to argue that users are public figures?
Use a faraday cage to block cell signals, and jam wifi to prevent the colluding. Allow each student an ethernet connection that is on its on VLAN. As a previous poster suggested, you have a whitelist of sites for outbound traffic, that don't lend themselves to social networking. That should cover it, but I hope you get paid well to go through so much trouble.
It may seem that way, but consider also that if the value of produce sinks too low, it is a hardship on farmers. I think there are actually quota systems in place to prevent this from happening. So may not just be picky consumers, but also, the farm may be selling all that they are allowed to sell (and naturally sell the best). I am not an expert on this by an means, but have heard this before, can anyone confirm?
You should put "greens" in quotes, as nuclear power is currently the greenist method to serve our energy needs. I have already heard some of the opposition say that the Fukushima accident needs to be studied more before new reactors are built. Presumably because no progress has been made since that plant was built 40 years ago.
Your giving way too much credit to the technology. This type of surveillance is still done with humans in the loop. Its very tricky to automate vehicle tracking even in VFR conditions. Tracking individuals is near impossible without doing some serious guess work. No matter how good the technology gets, the top of your head will never allow for identification. Flying low enough, you may be able to get a view of your face, but then you have allot of obstructions. Tracking all citizens by air surveillance is just not practical. Not to mention, just how uninteresting it would be. I can't see any benefit for employers that would be large enough to offset the cost. What you may see, is some tracking of suspected criminals (with or without warrant). The trouble with slippery slopes is the assumption that things can't be fixed at a later time. If the technology starts catching up with the fear, then we can raise the alarm. Until then, there are many more real privacy concerns to worry about.
Most class action settlements lately seem to result in gift certificate rewards (because, presumably, after you screw me, what I really want is money locked into your services). Google might pay out in something like Google Voice credits. Although, IMO, this is kind-of a bullshit case anyway.
I like how he criticizes Google for crossing the line of journalistic integrity. To my knowledge they do not produce any articles or media. He could be concerned about bias in search results, but given that he likes SOPA, I doubt he opposes such bias. Maybe he only likes bias he can control, or maybe he is just ranting and grasping at straws.
From the article:
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, though: if OpenCV gets OpenCL support, then computer vision people could do GPGPU without needing the proprietary drivers.
Why is it so wrong to use the proprietary drivers? I mean don't we want companies to write drivers for linux for their hardware. NVIDIA does this and has for many many years. Why are you so eager to drop the proprietary drivers when they work so well in linux?
There's a number of reasons to want the source: fix bugs, add features, build for a non-Intel architecture, you could be an optimization freak(ie. Gentoo user). The real question is what is the harm to Nvidia for releasing the source? They are a hardware company. I doubt that their secret sauce is in the driver, so why would it do anything but help their sales?
No, the religious martyrs die because they suffer from a debilitating infectious mental illness otherwise known as faith. Once their minds are corrupted by that memetic vector, they no longer have true free will and are subject to the will of the memes that pass through the hive mind. Consumption of a single host is insignificant to the hive, and may even provide vectors for infection of new hosts.
Wrong, religious martyrs die because they oppose the religious norm. Following the popular conventions of the popular religion is the safe bet that rarely causes you harm. The martyrs may be good or bad, but they are always independent thinkers.
SOPA, PIPA, and OPEN are designed to stop piracy oversees, where DMCA has no jurisdiction. So it is arguably serving a different purpose. Though, I agree that the *AA's will always push for more legislation. Passing bills and waging legal battles is their business model(though they are funded by companies that also sell music/movies). If they stop doing that, they stop getting funding.

Interesting, seems very similar to Qt's signals and slots.

That's what Firefox Portable is for.
That's also the AMA's recommendation.

Sounds like the killer cars Monty Python cartoon.

Given American politics, the magic word would be terrorism. I have yet to see health care used as an excuse for privacy invasion.

Secrecy and open source don't mix. Also, RTFA, they are looking for people to host the proxy servers.

US education should be soley tuition based.
Please name me one country where this works.

I think you missed his point. Choice or not, it was a moronic law. Even if it was his choice, why should he be persecuted for it?
