Hemp seed is actually really healthy and contains good amounts of all essential amino acids (and so is high in protein). It provides some iron, good amounts of manganese and magnesium, and is also a good source of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. Hemp seeds are good for salad toppings, baking, etc (think multi-grain bread). Hemp oil is also highly nutritious and can be used as other vegetable oils are.
It's a shame that prohibition drives the seed prices through the roof.
All this is true, and they taste good! When the US government finally wises up and ends the stupid prohibition on the stuff, the country will be better off than continuing the stupid (and mostly ineffective) prohibition.
We do have an election coming up in the US. It would be great if the US population was smart enough to vote for a sane candidate, but that is a wild dream of mine.
India population: 1,129,866,154 US population: 301,139,947
Thats like a factor of 3 difference there.
I will agree that it is a very complicated problem. For one thing, we good or bad, we have so much infrastructure in place for these cars. Riding a bike or walking is VERY dangerous in most places in the US, if possible. If I want to go across the street to the convenience store, I walked a couple of times, and now I drive because I'm scared I'll get run over.
Yeah, once gas hits $4/gallon, things may start to change, but even then, its going to be a LONG time before there is any change.
With this information employers could decide not to hire you if they felt you drank too much, in their opinion, or at all. Companies owned by fundamentalist christians, mormans or even muslims may decide to do this.
I guess we will have to just do the same thing we do with marijuana and everything else. Just make our own.
I think we are entering a phase of American driving where people will have a tiny, one-person, gas-sipping commuter car to go to work every day, and a "family car" for long-distance travels on the weekends.
The problem is social, not technical.
Americans "need" to drive these huge cars to work and back. I talked with a coworker that consciously bought a Ford Excursion "to drive to work". He's a pretty smart guy otherwise, but WTF? He drives alone with no tools or equipment, and any car that had a cover to keep the rain off of your head is OK to drive to work and back.
I would like to have a pickup or some other more "utility" vehicle for doing crap that simply does not fit into my compact car that I use for work. Its just a shame that the state and local governments punishes people for doing these things with all of the extra taxes/insurances and crap for owning more than one vehicle.
And I would just love to drive one of these on weekends. I could also think of some non-eco friendly (nor wallet friendly) cars I'd like to own, but I'm a few hundered thousand/million short on cash for those...
unfortunately he doesn't go far enough into the core of the problem, which is today's universities are mass producing what employers want, rather then the thinkers of tomorrow.
I think that the latter is primarily reserved for degrees beyond the basic 4 year ones. And there is more demand for mass produced junk than there is for bright forward thinkers that think of things that cannot even be made into production for decades to come.
A more thoughtful C string API would have averted mistakes on the magnitude of chambering bad ammunition, without encumbering the pointy end in the slightest, or failing to endanger the programmer's foot.
I would have expanded that to a more thoughtful C array API. Technically, strings don't exist in C, they are just arrays of characters that may or may not have a null character at the "end".
Libraries like glib (and others) have do have pretty good string and array data types, but the standard C library is pretty lacking there.
I think some of us pine for what could have been, not the mediocrity that we ended up with as we grew into our technological world (speaking as someone in his early 30's, growing up in the Atari age).
Whats even scarier/stranger, is that outside of Windows most all other computers use 30+ year old technology called UNIX.
Software is only recently starting to get kinda interesting.
Silverlight is Microsoft's answer to Flash, more or less. It's supposed to make Web applications more GUI-like and introduce fancy things like 3D graphics and advanced user interfaces to Web applications.
It pisses me off that my bank recently moved its login page to a https page.
My bank!!!
I phoned them and complained, and they said it was no big deal.
Well, its on an https page now.
I'm thinking that their logic is that the browser warns the user (usually once, then they turn it off) that they are sending information via a nonsecure page if the handler is not an https server. Call me paranoid, but I want my login page encrypted.
I browse without plugins by default. I mean 99.9% of all flash are obnoxious ads.
The web standard needs to address video, and the vendors should then use that standards. AFAIK, Silverlight is not being released as a spec, but rather as a Windows only product. There are many of us who simply don't use windows, and don't want to.
His name pops up every six months on Edge or./ or somewhere else, because somehow he got certified as a smart guy (TM), but for the life of me I can't think of anything interesting that he's done or contributed that would deserve that appelation.
He did coin the word "virtual reality" back in the 80s. He's just like most computer scientists, they say a lot, have great ideas, but the rate of their ideas coming into fruition is very low.
One thing that absolutely sucks about this concept is that if you are not into getting wasted drunk, these places are not as fun.
I used to like to get wasted drunk, and there are other (currently illegal) things that would be less harmful to my body and society as a whole, but they are not allowed in most every local music establishment in the US.
Local music will boom once MJ and other drugs are legal again.
Q: How do I get mutt to keep an address book? A: Use this extra 3rd party perl script, or this 3rd party perl script or...
Mutt has an addressbook or aliases I believe they call it, works with tab completion.
Mutt even complies with some obscure RFC rule for email where you can resend a mail. I don't know of too many mailers that can do that. Its ESC-e if you care.
Also, mutt can use vim as your editor, which I use all the time anyway, so it keeps my life more consistant than learning different editors.
irst, this is very old news: we know since 2004 that collision can be found in MD5 hashes (two different files with the same md5sum), and there now are tools that can generate collisions in seconds. All you need is a common prefix and suffix for both files and two block of 128 bytes that are generated automatically and you can insert between the prefix and the suffix to create the two files
OK, that sounds fun. But at least for open source code, the md5checksum is on a compressed archive, not a raw executable. Wouldn't this collision still be practically impossible on an archive?
Consistently telling a kid that successes are due to being smart will cause them to believe the opposite as well - namely, that failures are due to *not* being smart. On the other hand, telling a kid that successes are due to hard work will lead them to believe that failure can be turned around through diligence.
Its the parent's belief of whether or not the kid is bright or smart (or not) that is important. This is validated again and again both experimentally and in the real world.
Similar examples. Tall attractive white men with equal credentials, etc, make more money and are less likely to be imprisoned than others outside of those qualities. It has nothing to do with their abilities, but other people's perceptions of their abilities, and doors of opportunity fly open for these people.
Telling a kid that they are smart or whatever when this is either not the truth or it is not believed by the parent or the child does nothing for a child. Body language (over 80% of communication) and facts outweigh what the person is told.
I think the Kindle will be to traditional books as [the segway] is to walking.
I see both existing for quite some time. I don't think the kindle will make books you keep or textbooks or coffeetable books go away. But for romance novels, magazines, scifi novels, stuff w/o a hard cover that you read once and basically throw away, why not pay less and just read the thing on a screen like this?
Everything is different, and there needs to be new laws when something is "online".
OK, enough with the sarcasm, but WTF is up with an online dating bill? Singles bars don't do background checks. Neither do the personals in the newspaper. I would assume that things like magazines that are dedicated to "alternate" lifestyles, swinging, wife-swapping, and every fetish you could imagine don't do background checks. Lots of people meet people at work and school, and most employers and schools don't do background checks.
So, why is this so important when the "online" keyword is added?
I was really expecting to see some sort of design whereby the waste heat from the datacenter was used to heat homes or apartment buildings.
I can't seem to find it now, but one supercomputing or data center in Minnesota or some other cold place used to dump the heat from the computers into the parking garage.

The seeds do, when you are allowed to grow a decent amount of it.
If I remember correctly, hemp seeds are only second to soy beans in protein/land mass.
Hemp seed is actually really healthy and contains good amounts of all essential amino acids (and so is high in protein). It provides some iron, good amounts of manganese and magnesium, and is also a good source of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. Hemp seeds are good for salad toppings, baking, etc (think multi-grain bread).

That store now has a nice record saying they carefully verified the age of ever customer purchasing alcohol or tobacco.
We should all be so diligent into constantly proving our innocence.
Its guilty until proven innocent, right?

Well to a new computer user, Linux can be just as friendly as MacOS, or Windows. They all have equally steep learning curves.
I'll never forget when my girlfriend taught me how to "double click" on a Mac.
She said, double click on that icon. I said, "What?" I clicked twice slowly. She said faster. I clicked faster, and the program opened.
Never heard of a double click before. WTF?
Now I'm a computer geek, and the gf is gone.

Switch statements are syntactic sugar. They're really not needed. Nested if/then/else do the same thing.
Switch statements can be optimized by the compiler, nested if/then/elses cannot.
Just out of spite, what would be the free/opensource alternative?

You may have to do some testing to make sure the audio syncs with the video.
