If you post the name of the project, then you may get real answers that apply directly to your situation. But somehow I get the feeling that you don't name it for this very reason. And since that's the case, it appears that your project will die. I'll bet that there's already a replacement out there that many are already switching to.
Having said that, I hope the project is called facebook.
Wow. And people still want to be in office? Must be nice in Canada. In America, no one in their right mind would get into politics unless it means a lot of money. The people of America are so hard to please...
Why do teachers always rank as an all important metric?
Not that I think they're all important, but they have a significantly higher level of involvement in the local state of things than you appear to be giving them credit for. There are good and bad teachers, true, but the over all significance of their job is one of the most important in any society; certainly up there with police, fire fighters, city workers... (if you don't think that these jobs are more important than programing, then you're fooling yourself)
I agree that the old "think of the children" has been used in many incorrect ways, but that doesn't mean that it's not a valid statement. When it comes to teaching children the difference between "do" and "do not" it's extremely important that the teacher be informed, and able to inform in a way that applies to each kid - this isn't as easy as it seems like it should be. However having a care about this, makes the difference between people growing up as civilized people, capable of getting along with others, and barbaric people incapable of almost anything that doesn't involve them being given something.
You're totally correct (in terms of normal context), but totally wrong (in the context of what burning man is). Burning man is about living in a temporary space where normality doesn't have to be in the context at all. Think in terms of 'people peddling ice' vs 'having a place where you have to get ice'. They each create a specific experience, but one is more in tune with what how Nature provides.
Also let us not forget that the author of this article went once, and during a time when there was only one line for ice (judging by his writings, he didn't have a good time, missed the whole point of it, and will never go again). Normally there are at least three ice lines. The ice line should be a place that gets fit into the schedule. Otherwise the whole "burning man" experience (the experience that you should both loath and enjoy) is set into the same context that our daily lives are stuck in. Then, why go do something like burning man?
Seriously; are there people in this world that are getting PAID to administrate and edit Slashdot? If so, please sign me up for this sweet gig. If not; then I can understand this kind of sloppiness as it's just a hobby.
No. If we all get a job at slashdot, who'll be the silly idiots that read/comment on the crap that we'll post? If you want slashdot to stop posting shit stories, then stop reading slashdot. If no one reads slashdot... well you know.
Not that there aren't already like 50% bots here now. Ever wonder why the CAPTCHA is usually along the same lines as what you're posting? Maybe the bots are editing the site by now, who knows.
It all depends on what is meant by "consumption". After all, currently we're already taxed when we buy stuff (sales tax). What now, tax us when we eat it too (consumption tax)? Really, how would this new tax be executed?
We owe the Chinese... umm, all of our monitory system's worth? I think they may be just checking in on us, big-brother style, just to make sure what the hell we're doing with it all.
In Alabama every drug warrant has article "G" attached to it that gives the officers the right to search all files and computers, for drug records. If you keep your records in, let's say French, then the police can take them to a translator. If you keep your papers in some kind of "encrypted" scheme that requires some mechanism to decrypt, then it's evidence enough that you deal drugs. I hope encryption on phones doesn't have the same effect.
Oh, they're trying alright, but how many ideas for movies can there even be? By the time I was 6 (I'm from the 70's) I knew that eventually movies wouldn't be a thing as they once were. I figured that one day movies and games would merge. When I first saw that game "Dragon's Lair" I thought it'd begun. I was obviously wrong.
It seems like people take movies less seriously than they used to, and there really aren't that many ideas for movies that'd be very interesting. The result is that movies are stuck either trying to please the older crowd with sequels/prequels (where's "E.T. 2"), or will end up being about something that takes so much consideration that the movie isn't fun to watch ("Primer" anyone?).
Dell released boxes running Ubuntu a while back. Ubuntu uses Gnome, as far as I know. So for many, Gnome was the first desktop experience for many new Linux users.
Yep, the corporate backing is a huge win for GNOME.
WTF!?? Since when is corporate anything good just because it's corporate? Money is good, but who cares where it comes from? Anyway it seems that once a corporation has a part to play in things, it wants some sort of return. That's how they squeeze in the red tape, all over everything, and eventually make the project suck.
Using that logic, the crust spinning could be creating the magnetic field. But the moon is spinning, so is Mars. Neither, to my knowledge, have a magnetic field.
In the social sciences, social structure is the patterned social arrangements in society that are both emergent from and determinant of the actions of the individuals.
Desire: a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.
If you're unable to link those together, then hopefully you're not in any position to decide things for a large number of people. And if you do know how to link those things together, then you should (at least try to) be in a position to decide things for a large number of people. If a large number of people are able to link those things together, then we don't need so many people deciding things for a large number of people.
Maybe we should explain how social structure works, and how human desires come into play when mixed with it - rather than teach them how to operate machines.
...oh yeah, the adults have to learn that first...
I get what you're saying, but I don't see how that is definitive proof that the center of the planet is spinning or what it's made of, or even that it's the cause or generator of the Earth's magnetic field.
I hear this a lot "molten core" "spinning" "causing magnetic field". But where's the proof? I'm not trying to be argumentative (or maybe I am to some small degree) but I would really like to know how this is "known". Because I'm under the impression that this is just a really good educated guess, that has yet to be proven, much like black holes.
Netflix should revamp their billing structure. In addition to their monthly fee, there should be a separate line item for an ISP surcharge. If your ISP does not charge Netflix, then that surcharge is $0. If your ISP does charge them, then the surcharge is how much Netflix pays them divided by the number of Netflix customers on that ISP.
Yeah, because that'd be easy for Netflix keep up with.

Having an intelligent kid is pointless without a parent that gives it attention in the proper way.

Or do adaptations of books also count?
As long as no one fucks up another book-made-into-movie as they did with HHGTTG.
Seems like they're not even trying anymore.

It's displaying clipboard history. Why not? Looks like the user has been copy/pasting a bit of code. Pretty common.

I like these new commercials, where the audience's talk of the commercial, is the commercial.
There is no mathematical formula for this, for the same reason that pi (in it's totality) cannot be pinned down to a certain string of digits.
...and this whole confusion would have never manifest. Happy Monday! :)
