Only for the analogy to be correct, the script cannot have a name, location, an OS, or user running it. Now the object is to come up with a theory (as to what the hell $0 is) that's currently unable to be disqualified. GO!
Now you're doing (something just like) physics! And since this is the case, not only are there no people on this site able to "understand the topic", but neither are the folks on any other site. In my opinion, physicists are trying to count to zero, in the most intelligent way possible.
We've all seen technology advancing, as it's been doing. And I remember when the PC that I had, came with 32MB of RAM. I talked my parent into giving me their credit card, so that I could go spend $200 of their money on another 32MB, for a total of 64MB of RAM!!! Oh the things that I'd be able to do! I could run a really cool program that enabled me to edit video. Now the very act of upgrading RAM itself, seems to be 'just another thing to make computing slightly better'. No one gets excited over RAM anymore.
A few years ago, the programing dept where I used to work started asking for a second monitor. They said that it'd help them work faster. Prior to them getting the monitors, our release time was every 2 weeks, and generally had 10% bugs. After the new monitors, the release time remained 2 weeks, but the bug rate was up to about 14%. They had to extend the release time to 3 weeks. Once they did that the bugs went to about 18%. They had to regroup and come up with a solution, so they decided to stop having a release date at all, and just release when the bugs were 'gone' (you know). That slipped into a 2-month cycle for about a year.
Now, I'm not saying that 2 monitors (or any amount of extra workspace) is a bad idea, but technology seems to be a black hole, whereby one has to continuously poor stuff into it, just to remain at a level 'failing rate' (I say failing rate, because why was their current rate of working bad?). I feel that it's because the more you put into the situation, the more you expect out of it, and in the end, I feel that the programers were rushed, trying to justify their new shit.
Regardless what you think about technology, the same thing applies: A man can dig 1 hole. 2 men can dig that same hole twice as fast. But 200 men cannot dig a single hole at all. Also, 1 man can dig 1 hole. 2 men can dig that same hole twice as fast. But 2 men cannot dig 200 holes at all (at least not when considering a time frame requirement). Load balancing an office environment is not an easy task, and the very reason that it's hard to begin with, cannot be solved simply by throwing in new technology. I feel that this is because generally people will do (X) amount of work (work completed, not tasks in general) and rest for (X*.125) time.
Another bit I've noticed, is that if someone likes what they're doing, they can always make do with what they have, and a much larger scale than those that have a shitload of technology as tools, but don't like what they're doing. I feel that this whole "2 monitor" or "Huge workspace" concept will soon be the same as the whole new RAM concept. Of course, there's always management that will always press you to do more work, if they give you more "tools" to work with, causing the whole happiness of getting the extra workspace to fade anyway.
But what the hell do I know, I only use Autocad. I'm not a 'programer'.
Yes, sadly you're correct. And the main point that you make is that Americans should protest this. As far as I'm concerned, a proper protest would have to consist of everyone going back to growing their own food, and stop buying all of the ridiculous devices that are really only serving to misdirect the people's attention to some virtual world where things are groovy. Simply standing behind the line in your tent while the police are just itching for you to break a rule so that they can kick your ass, is no way to protest anything. Neither is civil war.
I agree. That's why I quit my job working for this ridiculous system, and started my own business.
My business model: Make enough to pay my bills.
I call this my "cash crop job", and don't take it very seriously. What I do take very seriously is the personal education that I give my children, which consists of my own carefully lived life experiences, (which has very little to do with today's economics), and growing my own food. Perhaps it's simply teaching my kids how to be happy. But the foremost concept that I teach my kids, and any other kids that'll listen, is that today the adults have it mostly wrong, and that just because people are older (aka adults) doesn't mean that they know how to be happy. To know the difference between having a lot of things, and securing the ability to be happy, despite what's going on outside yourself, in my opinion, is the only real education possible. And when that education is available, it's always free.
...I felt like I just got done talking to a loud, drunken aristocrat. A course on 'big data' and its growing importance in business, to anyone in the world, all for $495.00. wtf just happened?
Right, but it's obviously a bad idea to allow it, despite what the mobsters thought back in the 30's. I mean, allow cocaine to be legal for 10 years, and then try to take that away. That bash script holds water (no pun intended), regardless.
Aren't all objects' movement (speed) based on another objects movement (speed)? I mean, how fast is the Milky Way moving, and in what direction? And could that star just be sitting idle-ish, and our galaxy zipping past it? Are these question answerable?
The document urges EU countries to take legal action against the breach of their sovereignty perpetrated through such mass surveillance programs.
What in the hell are they going to do? Tell the world-police on the... well, world-police?
I've been called troll for saying it in the past, but I'll try again here... If anything has come of "the Snowden release", it's only to inspire more hatred for the American government. This will always be taken out on the American people in the end. Assuming that 9/11 wasn't an inside job, and assuming that 9/11 was done by the people that were "charged" with doing so, could their reason have been hatred for "The People" of America, or "The Government" of America? And if that's the case, can we expect more of that same shit? Will it ever stop? Should American forever live in fear, based on the bullshit steps taken by it's "protective" government to stop such actions? It's so silly there aren't words to describe it without seeming like a troll.
Revelations of back doors are, as I suspect, limited - perhaps there are many more that we don't know of yet. And since that's the case, since people are more into making money than they are into making sense, then "computers" themselves cannot be "trusted". That doesn't mean that we can't use them as they are however. I'm not about to go off and learn what the shit "systems that are at least Orange Book A1 level secure" even means. I'm going to continue to use commercial software and hardware, because life's simply to short, and I only care so much about privacy - as long as I'm not being charged with some bullshit charge (and I have been charged with some bullshit charge in the past) that I cannot prove is a bullshit charge (I was able to prove that what I was charged with was total bullshit and it got thrown out), aka some terrorist plot or something like that.
"Computers" should be treated like girls that have a stinky vagina. There's obviously something wrong, but that doesn't mean that she's not cool to talk to, ask questions of, play games with.
Or all they have to do is reduce the value of the current dollar is an illusory tactic that we all call a "stimulus package". Regardless, if the government doesn't have total control over the $money that it's population uses, then it's not money.
HA! I was going to say something similar, but not quite as funny. Thanks, I needed a laugh today.
It sent me off into left field thinking of the possibilities of how much tax I owe due to saving made when I bought the home that I did, rather than buying one of these places.
I think SJHillman would be blown away by "complex math".;)
If it's not about the NSA, Edward Snowden, or anything to do with American governmental overreach, then it's an ad. If it has a video, it is a long ad.
...I say we just surrender in the war on drugs and let them run things.
They're beating out the combined efforts of the NSA, aka world-police and the DEA with funding from the US federal government. Billions of dollars has been spent in stopping these guys. The government knows who they are, where they are, and what they plan to do, and yet, they cannot do anything about it. So either they (the drug cartels) have already won, or the 'war on drugs' is total bullshit, and the very activity of these cartels is probably funding the world-terrorists that probably live in the US, and probably work in one or more governmental agencies.
It was not until years later that reporters identified the term (COINTELPRO) as referring to a secret program, carried out from 1966-71, to cultivate a culture of distrust in which dissidents feared not just the government, but also one another.
Seems like the hatred that a lot of Americans have for Americans is so extreme, it almost seems cultivated by way of plan. I'm not aware if Snowden has released any info pertaining to this. Does anyone else know?
Man I wish every web page had a font like those sites linked in the summary (well, all but http://debugjs.com/ which appears to be an invalid link). Maybe it's an attempt to lure in old fogies like myself, who can't see worth a shit. Alas, I know nothing about java, and couldn't care less.
But, nice font kid!
Slashdot is a "public" website, in that anyone can come and see all of the posts. But suppose that they changed it. Suppose that when you went to slashdot.org, you are immediately confronted with a login page (just like facebook), and you have to have credentials in order to see the posts. That's how not.
You don't have to subscribe to get a newspaper. Anyone can simply (and anonymously) purchase a newspaper. Facebook, twitter, whatever, it's the same as if he posted a bulletin at the local Freemason lodge, and they made copies and posted it at every lodge in the world. If you're not a member, you don't get that 'news'.

Education is a business, it's actually big business. Why do you think it's so damn expensive?
I may be missing the point. You tell me at what "speed" the Milky Way is moving, and I'll figure the rest out by myself.
