Use the term "maker space" when looking, otherwise you might end up in a very different kind of place than you were expecting (and end up on an FBI watchlist to boot).
The OP is one of those pedantic pricks who just CANNOT accept that "hacker" has a different meaning today than it did in the 1950's.
Same here. One of my biggest gripes in IT is the "for someone with a hammer, everything is a nail" philosophy. For example, a MCSE wants to toss everything on a MS solution.
The exact same criticism could be turned on an open source fanatic. For them, every solution HAS to be open source (or at least non-proprietary).
Like fundamentalist religion people, they've made up their mind and anything that disagrees with their predisposition is a "lie".
And, conversely, most of these kind of studies are funded or supported by marijuana supporters--and so they often end up toeing the line that marijuana intoxication is somehow not as bad as other forms of intoxication when it comes to matters like driving. This whole study was the equivalent of my old stoner roommate's "I drive better when I'm high" line. Only he didn't. He drove much worse when he was stoned. He was just too fucking stoned to realize it.
Look, I've got nothing against marijuana. Toke away. But DON'T DRIVE WHILE STONED. If you think it doesn't effect your ability to drive (or operate any heavy machinery or do anything else important) then you're as high as my former roommate was most of the time.
That's it. They've finally come up with uncrackable software. I guess all the hackers will just have to pack their bags and find another hobby now. It was a good many decades while it lasted. But now it's clearly over. Congrats to Jacob Torrey on doing what no one else has ever been able to do! No way this will ever be cracked. He's beaten us all.
You're right - it's total segregation to want to bring more women into the workplace with men!
No, idiot. It's total segregation when you attempt to SEGREGATE a particular gender/racial/ethnic/religious group by your hiring practices. You know, like discriminating against one group over another based on gender/race/etc.....which is EXACTLY what they're doing here.
"But their INTENTIONS are noble," you say. Yeah, so were Hitler's.
I don't think Uber is upending taxis worldwide because they are luxury! It's because they are cheaaaap!
They're also usually driven by drivers who actually give a shit about customers, not by assholes who think their taxi medallion is a monopoly that lets them treat customers like shit. Also Uber drivers do little things like cleaning their cars more than once a year, and bathing regularly.
We in the carriage industry, while we do support the "automobile" ban, do recognize that you, the public, values some aspects of this new technology. Therefore, we are announcing an effort to build new and more luxurious horse carriages with much larger manure traps to meet your needs. We trust that these wonderful new carriages will prove much more popular than these dangerous, unlawful automobiles.
I'm sure a local church would have people that may volunteer,
No there aren't. Most churches are stretched thin as it is. Very few could provide in home personnel for 40+ hours a week to someone who's dying. Even fewer even offer daycare facilities, much less in-home daycare.
I'm sure there are foundations he could apply for assistance with
Even the poor and seriously ill have trouble finding anyone to provide them care in this country. The few non-profits that offer this kind of assistance are already overwhelmed. They can't provide enough care for the seriously ill poor, much less for a middle-class guy whose wife has occasional epileptic attacks.
how about a Ou pair or exchange student?
Even at minimum wage for 40 hours week--that's about $1,200 a month. Pretty major cost for someone whose spouse already isn't working. Even I couldn't afford that easily, and I make significantly more than most.
Going on Government aid
WTF government aid are you TALKING about? You think the government provides free full-time nanny service for epileptics? Hell, they don't even provide free drugs for them.
We have the same requirement in the U.S. (generally a year or two of foreign language in secondary school). But even though French, Spanish, and German were the most common languages taught when I was in school, the odds of two given random people being actually fluent in French are low. And all of this is, of course, assuming that either of the paramedics happened to know that French was a common second language for a Swahili speaker.
I never thought I would live to see the day when other countries and agencies were moving forward with manned space flight, while NASA had to beg for a ride.
I suspect that NoFlyZone is just a front for a bunch of lawyers looking to file a class action lawsuit. Just look at their methodology. They gather a bunch of names and submit this to the manufacturers of these drones. Then if the manufacturers don't somehow comply (I'm not even sure how they're supposed to), then that opens them up to a class action from said requesters.
Reminds me of those groups in NYC that lawyers used to hire to go around and document cracks in the city sidewalks. Ostensibly they were supposed to be serving the public good. In actuality, they were just a front that was providing a database for lawyers to use to sue the city anytime someone tripped on a crack.
So you assume you know Tyyrone's race? Funny, but I never mentioned his race. So you've stereotyped an assumed race on him based on what I said about him, huh?
I guess I'm way ahead of my time. For my whole life I've just taken a "eat whatever the fuck I want to" approach. Seems to be working out pretty well so far.

When you hear "The Internet" in 2015, do you seriously still think of telnet, gopher, and ftp?
Because almost no one else does.
I hear it installs a rootkit in your eyes.

Did you come to Slashdot today with anything substantive or useful to say, or just to let us all know that you hate MS?

They would be crazy to! Clearly, there is no way to beat it. No one will ever be up to the task of beating this new system.

Then exactly what authority do they have to enforce this?
Hell, it was ALREADY obscure. This is the first time I think I've ever heard it even mentioned.
I'm just asking for a friend.
Hard to believe such a racist comment
So you assume you know Tyyrone's race? Funny, but I never mentioned his race. So you've stereotyped an assumed race on him based on what I said about him, huh?
Remind me who the racist is again?
He has two pregnant baby mama's to support!
Lez jush keep drinkin untilz a compeeting paper comez out nex year.
It's been my experience that 90% of child food allergies are caused by batshit-crazy mothers.

I'm thinking we need a revised "Food Incongruous 3D Trapezoid Attached to a Torus."
One man's variety is another man's hopelessly confusing goddamn mess.
