replace the group named in the law with black or Jew and if it sounds like something out of the 1930s? Well then its probably just good old fashioned bigotry.
The American Revolution wouldn't have succeeded without French help. Suffrage and the Civil Rights Act were enacted BY the US government. In the case of the Civil Rights movement, the US government imposed it by force on a Southern society that tried to resist, occasionally violently.
If medallions are selling for $1M a piece, is it too much ask a medallion owner to pay $30k extra for a vehicle that pollutes the city less with noise and emissions?
You might not think of a janitor, truck driver, factory worker, or McDonalds worker as particularly intelligent. But all of their jobs depend on mental image processing of a sort that computers cannot yet do. In the past, displaced farm workers would move to another field which made use of their talents. What happens when computer image processing reaches the point where the average blue-collar worker has NO talents that a robot cannot do for cheaper? Humans have many extra costs - housing, transportation, food, bathrooms, breaks, social life, vacations, unpredictable emotions and behavior - that robots do not. Will fuzzy traits like "flexibility" be enough to compensate for all these?
The Firefox dev team gave up on running add-ons in a separate process (the "electrolysis" project) because the code base was too single-thread oriented. Remember, some of the code dates back to Netscape
I thought the conventional wisdom was that the Mozilla team made a mistake, unnecessarily losing time, by starting over from scratch. In other words there is not enough Netscape code in Firefox!
IMO, that's always been one of Gates' strong points -- he knew what he knew and knew what he didn't know, and always surrounded himself with people who could compliment his expertise. Jobs always seemed the exact opposite.
You probably mean people who could complement his experience. It is more normal, and less worthy, to surround yourself with people who continually give you compliments.
It's funny that you married a computer engineer It's funny, in the end you went to study like everyone You told me you wanted to live out of the box You told me you wanted to conquer the world
I remember you breathing
It's funny that you now have a office and secretary And a beautiful white Mazda company car You told me once you are afraid of commitment You told me you can't be mine
I remember you breathing
Ai-oh He has no problems Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy Ai-oh He has an investment fund Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already
Let me guess, you bought a house in the neighborhood To not be far from the parents How all the houses look exactly the same And all the people look very happy

What I would like to see is better history viewing. on wikipedia it is quick to see if a page has been edited recently and by who. obviously this is a harder problem for a map. clicking history on openstreet map does not show much of use (right in the middle of an inland city i am seeing edits like "Update harbour tags ").
History DOES only go back about 6000 years, more or less. By definition, history deals with written records. Anything from before the invention of writing is considered prehistory, not history.
I'm happy this is being discussed publicly rather than being implemented unilaterally. Hopefully the same will occur if there is a push to block other controversial sites. If I want a certain form of entertainment (like porn) I can pay a little and get it elsewhere. But there is no good excuse for a public network to block, say, sites of unpopular political movements.
It's also kind of funny how Apple "needs" to come up with new ideas, when no other company seems to have the same need... or at least no-one ever says they do.
Apple sells more expensive products than their competitors. If they don't have new and unique features, then nobody will want to buy them.
Can you give a few examples of such papers? If you're afraid of somebody's reaction, do it as AC. Heck, anyone else who knows of such papers can also post them here as an AC.
There are may regions without access to, for example, safe, clean, potable water - is high-speed access to Amazon really a priority in those locations?
Yes, access to the world's largest river would be nice if you are short on potable water...

The Average American (of which I am not one), tends to have higher productivity on the planet than most other people
The European Union creates 67% more GDP per unit of CO2 emissions than does the US. No reason why the US can't reach that level.

That's ironic.

So, it's like an Apple computer on wheels?

Not to mention that many XBox users are underage...
I'd like to see them. Or is only MY medical records that should be public?

This is a much requested feature (#6) and progress is apparently being made on it...
