But why is most of that necessary? If you simply mailed every household a short form with the questions that they could return with free postage, you'd get most of the same people counted, at far less cost.
If they just asked "number of occupants", that would work. Some people
might still miss it, but the vast majority of people would fill it out
and return it.
Instead, they ask a few dozen annyingly personal questions (and
that does describe the short form - Some "lucky" percentage
of people get a 20 page questionaire sufficient to write a
goddamned biography of the respondant), and act surprised and
annoyed that they get a low response rate.
So, people make a sort of game of avoiding (or outright lying on)
the census, and as a result, we have extremely detailed but wildly
unrepresentative data about everyone (extrapolated) in the
country - Basically, they multiply a million Ned Flanders by 300,
and call that "The Census".
Or you know, you could obey the speed limit, stop at
red lights, etc. Seems to keep quite a few of us from
getting tickets.
I stop at red lights, and stop signs. I yield at yield signs,
stopping if necessary at red yield signs. I generally obey all
the "meaningful" trafic control devices, both for my safety and
the safety of others on the road.
I almost never, however, obey the speed limit. States and towns
have set them almost ubiquitously low, for reasons that don't
apply to most drivers - Revenue collection, and allowing bluehairs
to keep driving 20 years longer than they should.
Modern cars, with an even moderately alert driver, can safely do
10-20 above the posted limits under all road conditions short of
a blizzard. Simple as that.
It surely seems like you don't buy a song from ITunes, and you don't buy a movie from
Blockbuster, etc. At the very least they should stop using the term buy.
They don't call it "buying" - They call it "stealing". If the recording industry had its way,
we'd have to fork over $16 for a "license" in the form of a shiny plastic disc (non-transferrable and
corporeally-bound, of course - Don't go thinking that just because you "license" their content you have
some silly rights to either resell it or to keep using it in the event you lose/break your plastic disc). Then we'd pay separate
format-shift licenses for converting the contents of that disc to a stream of bits; then for converting
those bits to 16- or 24-bit words (perhaps on a "per-bit" basis, just for fairness to the industry);
then for converting those words to analog signals sent to the speakers (this may require a separate
broadcasting license, as it leaves the vicinity of the CD player itself); then for converting those
analog levels to waves of sound pressure; then finally for converting those waves of sound pressure into
neural impulses in the cochlea.
You greedy pirate bastards think you can just have all that for free, just because you plunked
down $16 for a plastic disc? What, you want Cary Sherman's kids to have to go to public school???
This money goes to organized crime, gangsters, crooked police and politicians, and to terrorists.
BS. Yeah, a few not-very-nice-guys in Central America make money off a few nonsynthetic drugs, but
believe it or not, most of the US illegal drug supply counts as home-grown (and I don't just refer
to weed, which mostly comes from Canada anyway).
The only notable exception to that, Afghan opium/heroin, we can thank our own CIA for establishing
the trade, and if it funds terrorists, well then I look forward to the Treasury freezing the assets of
the entire US government (yeah, riiiiiight - Kettle? There is no kettle. Why do you hate America?).
Don't tell me drugs or piracy or sex or any of my favorite Christian-pissing-off vices fund terrorism. You
want to know what funds terrorism? Uncle Sam does. We arm both sides in local skirmishes, then cry
when the two sides make up and come after us. We pay the Taliban not to grow poppies, and cry when they
buy guns and come after us (and grow poppies anyway). We Tell Iraqis not to burn "their" oil fields, and
give the pumping contracts to exclusively US companies in one of the least fair bidding processes in history
(which even other Western oil companies such as BP protested to the WTO about). We maintain almost-peace in
Baghdad by having an extremely visible armed presence, and wonder why the kids grow up to join a terrorist
organization that didn't exist in their country until it followed us in.
We manufacture our own enemies, no need to blame any boogeymen for funding.
I'm still waiting for a good solution to provide audio throughout my house.
The solution exists, it just depends on exactly what you mean by your statement...
If you mean manual remote selection from a central fileserver, you need nothing more
than one totally-barebones PC (don't even need an HDD, just boot Knoppix) per location
you want sound. Plus the file server, of course.
If you mean centrally (or at least, single-point) controlled playback of multiple
playlists in several remote locations, set up an IceCast server with as many
channels as you want, and have each remote box point to its own dedicated stream.
You can even control the streams via web admin from any of those remote sites, if
you wanted that level of functionality.
As for each individual box - Talkin' bout a sub-$100 Chips/ECS/Jetway microatx
board with onboard 5.1 sound, networking, and TV/VGA out. Add a case, 256MB,
and a DVD-ROM drive, and you have everything you need (except speakers, which
depending on your intended audience may add almost nothing to the cost, or may
dwarf the cost of the PC itself).
Six(+) billion people on the planet. Pretty much every
"expert" (whatever that means, given their track
record on this one) I've seen/heard quoted, estimates
"a few thousand" actual terrorists. That gives in the
ballpark of 0.0001%, which would equal 6,000(+) humans.
Do you call that "arrogant" for trusting that those experts
probably at least have the right order of magnitude, or did
you just not bother doing the math to see that it does indeed
yield a reasonable, if approximate, figure?
scientists at FH St. Polten are developing strategies to block out secret data in VoIP and even
GSM phone calls by preemptively modifying background noise
...And once again, they treat all of us like criminals for the sake of annoying (not even
preventing or catching) the 0.0001% that really pose a threat.
Good work, guys - Even a classic
BOFH has higher efficacy and useability standards than anything related to the War on Non-Western,
Non-Irish, Non-Russian (and "non-former-Soviet") Terror. At least the BOFH's systems work for
him, you asshats can't even manage that despite taking all that daaaaaaangerous toothpaste
away from us.
However, even I overstate the case here - Encoding data in background noise doesn't break any laws!
We all have every right to send hidden data, or even to use hard encryption right in plain sight. However,
exercising that right may lead to some undue scrutiny, and thus we expose the real reason for
techniques like this... Erosion of plausible deniability, which The Powers That Be loathe far, far more than
any actual threat. It looks bad to just deport and torture someone with no evidence. But if you can
demonstrate that he had (gasp!) something he didn't want the whole world to know about (because only criminals
have secrets, of course), well then the sheep will approve of going all Jack Bauer on him.
Notably, and most unfortunately absent from the report, is the very
real question of whether the military should be manipulating domestic media.
Not to mention the legality... The Hatch act still exists, to the best of
my knowledge. And although people generally interpret it somewhat more
liberally than intended, this seems like exactly the form of corruption
targetted thereby... The executive branch, using federal funds to make the war
look better, to improve the chances of McCain getting in come November.
Then again, since when has the current administration bothered with obeying
all those pesky little laws? "Four more years - Why should the constitution
matter this time?"
Sometimes a book's contents are more important than the presentation
Not much of a market for your thesis/dissertation, though...
The inconvenience of it all is why print is dying.
I disagree... If I want to read a book, I still massively prefer to pick up a rectangular
paper block and flip through its pages, over either ebooks or POD (or printing the ebook myself).
But with the growing volume of material available online, I find that I don't need to read
books so often. Whether fiction for enjoyment, or technical references, I can get most of my
reading material (legally) for free online. That has hurt dead-tree publishers, not the
inconvenience of books.
Perhaps not, but you could always mute your microphone...
Personally, I don't understand why people still buy add-on sound cards in the first
place. Pretty much all motherboards now come with onboard 7.1 or 8.1 24-bit sound,
with both both optical and coax digital out (and at least analog stereo if not full
5.1 analog out).
What additional features can any non-professional possibly want (and the pros sure as
hell don't buy Creative products) that would justify paying even a pittance for an
add-on sound card? I don't mean this as a "640k should be enough" rant, I just really can't
see what Creative offers that doesn't come stock with any new motherboard.
"And whats with those Apple enthusiasts, damn, like seriously, there more devoted than Xenu!"
...They then apologized for the pneumonia we would all shortly die of due to his indiscretion in
mentioning an OT-III idea to those unprepared to hear about the awesome truth of X*N*.
Quick, everyone grab your e-meters, you may still have time to save yourselves! And if not, better
luck next planet - And avoid the volcanos!
Why is it... that all these neat technologies depend on exotic materials?
Because most of our existing technology comes from adapting what we've observed occurring
more-or-less naturally in the world around us, and we've already plucked all the
low-hanging fruit.
If you want to understand how to extract energy from hydrogen sulfide, you can study
deep sea vent bacteria. If you want to understand how to directly convert radiation
to electricity... Well, we don't know of anything that already does that, so
if such a phenomenon exists (which seems reasonable), it makes sense to start with
some of the most exotic substances we know of.
They'd probably consider me just a tad too old for the
mission, but if they'd send me... Hell yeah, I'd volunteer!
History will remember the first man to walk (and die) on
Mars. A middle-class software engineer, OTOH, may as well never
have existed as far as posterity cares. And aside from the fame-factor,
hey, I'll never make it off-planet any other way, so what a
cool way to go!:)
The crew of the space shuttle Endeavor recently returned to Earth as ambassadors
Er, no. Sorry.
They assembled and deployed the Ikea version of a semi-autonomous robot. Not even
Darl could stretch that into returning as "ambassadors".
The "next leap in space exploration" will happen when we start sending out one-way
manned missions. Until then, we've done nothing more than piddle around in the local
sandbox and thrown some rocks at pigeons.
If they unwisely chose to sell them at a loss - TFB. They have every right to change the terms and price on new units, but IMO they have committed an outright crime (computer trespass, at the very least) by forcing new firmware on already-purchased units.
but these hackers come along and provide the service for free on
the same hardware.
Any company that hasn't learned that lesson yet, deserves
their fate. If your business model critically depends on something
that a third party can provide cheaper (or free), your customers
will use the cheaper version.
They showed a clear lack of political savvy
Riiiight - Because we engineers normally have legendary people-skills
and political-prowess?
Meraki presented a problem to people who live for solving
them. Politics? Gimme a break. If you add non-game rules to the
puzzle, someone will find a way to take them out to achieve a
better solution.
Sometimes evenhandedness is inappropriate. It elevates the wrong position to the same level as the right position.
No. It judges the wrong position on the same level as the right. The wrong will still fail miserably in the analysis.
For instance, intelligent design.
Good example. I (and many others) have considered it on exactly the same level as evolution - As a possibly theory
to explain speciation as it occurs on Earth. And in doing so, I find that it blatantly contradicts known data, thus
invalidating it as a viable theory. Perhaps even more ironically, evolution better fits with biblical
"fact" (which does not posit fixity of species... Or mention domestic cats) than ID does, as long as we
don't limit god to following a 24-hour day. But neither of these considerations "elevates" ID to the same position as
evolution - They simply compare them on a fair scale.
As a side benefit, studies have shown that crime actually goes DOWN when lights
come on at random rather than staying on all the time.
Studies have also shown that crime goes down when you comepletely turn
off the street-lights.
Street-lights provide a tiny island of light while preventing our eyes from adjusting
to the dark as they would with no artificial light around. A mugger/rapist/politician
merely has to wait just a bit outside that island for a suitable victim to pass. From
that position, he can patiently assess the defensive capabilities of his potential victims,
with them unable to see him well (if at all), and move in quickly for the attack.
In places where we really need nighttime outdoor ligthing (if they exist), we should
limit it to low-power, low-mounted (below eye level), properly-hooded path illumination. That
provides some safety benefit without giving the deer-in-headlights effect at we go from
night-blind to blinded-by-the-light.
You couldn't pay me enough (literally - I've turned down jobs that wanted me to work with it... I should
probably take it off my resume) to deal with that POS (by which I don't mean "Point Of Sale") on a regular basis.
Actually, in fairness, as an OS, it doesn't suck too much. But the build tools... Let's just say WindRiver clearly
subscribes to the "firmware should hurt" coding paradigm. The IDE made OutLook look stable and friendly, the command
line build tools simply didn't work (literally - WR couldn't even have tested them, because they failed phenomenally
even on a clean install and a "hello world" module), the revision control had no objection to overwriting parent
revisions without forcing a new fork... Ugh. I'll probably have nightmares tonight just from thinking about it.
Oddly enough, it surprises me to see it still talked about. When I suffered with it nearly a decade ago, it
looked like a near-certainty that Linux would tap that last nail in its coffin. How ironic, that Linux should
now give it new life via emulation.
Those of you who prefer emacs consider the extensibility vital to
your work, and can't imagine how anyone can live without it.
Personally, I prefer Emacs not for the extensibility, but because the
default keybindings match those of virtually every shell in existance
(again, by default... I realize you can change both sides of that equasion).
