Or better yet, transparant government. Demand it by law. No more secrets. I think technology and progress are the natural enemies of privacy. Less privacy is inevitable. But it should be both ways. After all the governement is the people, and both business and polics are both games best played in broad daylight.
Very luke-warm response from the EU politicians. France will "consider suspending trade negotiations for 2 weeks", The EU will now "suspend data sharing talks". Well 2 big woopdiedoo's. The real trade negotiations are well hidden from the EU PUBLIC (Not he NSA of course:), and the snoopers from the NSA already have our data, there is no need to share. We already give it!
THATS the real issue for Europeans people... WTF don't our politicians CARE about this? That scares me more then the whole snooping.
Look, I have seen people who know how to drag and drop in Dreamweaver call themselves "web developer". But really, if you are on CS level development its just the same as regular development. Sure your choice of core languages will be somewhat more limited, but make no mistake. Webdevelopment for large sites is very complex, CS level complex. Most apps today require a good level of networking, and most websites are more and more just regular apps. I work for one of the largest websites where you can buy stuff (yeah that one) and most our developers are just that, CS majors, with an occasional math and or fysics major. You are in the right school, just do some extra curriculum interwebby stuff if you want too.
original poster here, not being anon. You are wrong.
It is enterly possible to build mid level Macs for about 50-70% of the price.
Im looking at mine right now, I build a top end Intel core 7, with 32GB RAM, a mid/high video card (Nvideo GTX 660 TI) with 240 SSD + 1TB platters, bought a Dell 27" 2560x1440 display all for about 1600.EU
This would count as a high end iMac (But with a normal servieable case) or a low end Mac Pro (Pro's have Xeon's)
An iMac (without the SSD) with 32GB ram would cost me 2600 Eu. If I compare it with a xeon decked pro, it will even be more (MUCH more)
They way I see it, Apple overcharges for SSD, RAM and peripherals by a large margin.
You are right that it isnt for anyone. Macs "Just work", building a hackintosh requires research and some patience and a basic knowladge about computers.
This question is meaningless without defining quality of life. If I can reach 6000, and have the same Quality of Life as I have now (age 47) or even the QOL I expect to have at 67, Im all for it. In fact Immortality, yes please!
If I have to wait in bed in pain from 100 until 6000, than, no way.
When you get pregnant after rape, you either secretly liked it, or it was consentual. The bastards the US calls politicians never seize to amaze me with their vile.
Yeah but hes really bad at it. Its smear smear smear, and the obligate `agree, or you must be a Bad Guy`. Cmon! Even I can write better propaganda then that!
To me it sounds like standards can be based on "fair" licences for patents. Any free software that cannot agree with (whatever it means) "fair" licensing, is potentially excluded from using these "standards".
Where they (temporarely, one hopes) have succeeded in actually filtering the Internet by commercial interest groep Brein, with effect of thepiratebay.org being unreachable for many users, the Piratenpartij of the Netherlands have mirrored the seach engine as part of there political partys website. tbp.piratenpartij.nl
Yeah... I like to see them try block a political party...
Thats really stupid. XS4ALL is THE provider with both ethics and balls. They -voluntarely- stepped into the court case, which was at first only against Ziggo.
They are fighting this tooth and nail, and will appeal to a higher court.
What do you want them to do? Get them shutdown because they do not follow -court orders-?
if only CD's and DVD's were actually playable, I would buy them. All my downloaded content stil works, but half my purchased DVD's and almost all my CD's just dont work anymore. On games I exclusively use Steam or play WoW, or Age of Empires (wich is a illegal copy, but he I purchased the game at least twice before...)
Ppl arent greedy bastards, well most of them are not. Were just lazy consumers. Gives us GOOD crap, and EASY and Ill spend money.
"sexual preference, is influenced by a variety of factors; most important of all of those factors is conditioning (like, allowing/encouraging yourself to think homosexual thoughts, or hanging around with homosexuals, for example)"
This from the scientific arm of the Vatican. Bigots are always other people to a bigot eh?
Look, free speech isnt the right to get app's published by Apple. Beside that, this kind of app is clearly a swindle, or a religeous secte acting out (same thing really).
it's not really for a 22 yr old E-4 to go about deciding which information should truly be secret and which shouldn't. That decision is way above his pay grade and a lot more than 1 guy decides what is secret and what isn't.
Yep, thats exactly right. In fact the more people look at it, the better we can say if something should be secret.
1. You pose a correlation between co2, and global temps, yet you attack co2 as -cause- NOW. History is not now. 2. A small dose of cyanide (less the 1% of your bodyweight) will kill you dead. Small doesnt mean insignificant. 3. There were iceages before, so todays warming must be natural. Again, history is not now. 4. Given that Mars melts, earth warming must be natural. Another red herring. Earth is not Mars.

If my brain can instantly re-play sound and video, on demand, from implants, that might be a very cool thing to enhance my hearing aid.
I wonder what it would do to the "right to copy".
"Fair" is not defined.
To me it sounds like standards can be based on "fair" licences for patents. Any free software that cannot agree with (whatever it means) "fair" licensing, is potentially excluded from using these "standards".

We have 3d scanners/printers. Today. Granted, they are not very cost effective yet.

Does the accountant absolutely need the monitor to process the paycheck of the developer? Then no.

Im no climatologist, but your logic is all flaw.

2. A small dose of cyanide (less the 1% of your bodyweight) will kill you dead. Small doesnt mean insignificant.
