The word is "renown". As in, "Republicans are renown for funneling money through astroturf organizations and other front groups to shield them from campaign finance laws."
And Republicans don't give out free alcohol in Central Georgia. Half the counties are dry there. It is the devil's drink.
You do realize that the chimp in that video has had just as much time and "evolutionary development" as we have, don't you?
lol, you think evolution is progress and that progress is getting smarter. You do realize how erroneous that is, don't you?
The chimp skull resembles those of our early ancestors. The only conclusion you can draw is that abstract thought is possible in a primate brain of a certain size.
'I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,' Hawking tells Big Think.
No, he doesn't. He said that exact quote two years ago, to CNN. Of course, it may not necessarily be plagiarism, because he's been saying this for years, and it isn't like he types off the cuff.
Sweet, I trolled a troll. But just in case you're serious... You first implied that all programming labor is equivalent. Then you turned a 180 and stated that it is skill, not labor, that determines wage. In the face of your contradiction, you are now trying assert that there is no relationship between the scarcity of a skill-set and the revenue that skill generates, and while you believe it reinforces your second assertion, it is really repeating the first.
Even if you were able to reduce a programmer to an automaton capable of rendering a quant's equations into software without understanding any of it, the difference in performance between different programmers would reflect directly in the performance of the trading software. There would be demand for higher quality programmers because that quality translates directly into faster trades without downtime or errors. The money at stake determines the hiring budget and where a position for developing automated trading systems occupies in the hierarchy of programmer skill.
What if the same amount of work was needed for both? Both written using the same language? Should one receive higher wages because his app does something the other doesn't?
those like me who know it's happening but don't think it's worth changing our entire civilization to try and stop something that is, well, already happening anyway.
The stupidity of conservatism in a nutshell. For all their moralizing, they sure do resist doing the right thing because it's the right thing.
The thing this story misrepresents is that voicemail passwords were not "hacked". Everything else this application purloined is also available to every other application with the same capabilities, because there are legitimate reasons for some applications to use them.
All of these problems would go away if people had more knowledge and control over the data that goes in and out of their devices. For some reason, we built our computer infrastructure on a model of secret promiscuity, on the ideology of "it's good to share everything!" and "hide everything complicated from the user, and make decisions for them!"
Well, for one thing, that's not what it was about at all. It focused on the interactions and relationships between people when they are on a mission that could either save or doom the entire solar system.
And instead of being serious scientists on a serious mission to save the world, they're a bunch whiny brats from a reality TV show thrown into a lame horror movie. It was a SyFy movie with production values.
"Oh noes we forgot to turn the shade mirror we're all gonna die ahhhh!"
"Oh noes our greenhouse blew up we have no air ahhh!"
"Oh noes we're being chased by Freddie Kreuger and he sure is fast for someone dripping skin ahhh!"

But the SETI League has a use for it.

Only a Tea-partier would consider production values something to be ashamed of.
Jailbreaking is a means of circumventing DRM. Ask the console modders how "legal" that is.
What they could do is detect that the phone has been hacked, then "brick" it on the assumption that is stolen or being used to pirate material.
given that I was saying the exact opposite.
No, you weren't. But since you're agreeing with me, I guess you answered my condescending question, didn't you?

Not if they use a Wii controller!
Hopefully one day rockets will be powered by hope, and you can hope yourself right to the stars!
Then you must have done something to deserve it, especially if you took a picture.

Understanding that, and yet saying what you did, is what makes you a moron.
You are a moron.

A kid tricked Apple into letting a tethering application through. So yeah, of course this could end up on the Apple app store.

Kinda puts those people at risk within their own organizations.
Maybe they shouldn't be traitors, then.
I'd say the problem is the preponderance of squeaky-voiced racist children. Multiplayer games need better filters to keep out the riff-raff.
Every primitive society is a surveillance society. We invented privacy when we invented walls.
So I guess the answer to your questions is, quite well, for between three and four billion years.
His only source is a post on a message board, which is itself nothing but speculation.
Jail. Break. The iPhone is just as hackable as other systems out there.
That's like telling people to adopt Christianity, because it doesn't actually stop you from committing the sins you like.
When zealots can't distinguish between legitimate security and illegitimate spying, it hurts the credibility of civil liberties, not the NSA.
It is actively despised.
No, that won't make them touch you, either.
The screens have yellow spots. Apparently these "retina" displays have cataracts.

What, did you think because the actors changed the play would be different?
