At the same window size my iPhone does in fact display everything exactly as Safari does on my laptop. Of course designers create pages that dynamic with regards to resolution. What you are advocating is world where borders don't line up because one browser renders differently than another. Or padding and spacing changes between browsers; nobody wants that.
Totally and utterly wrong. According to your argument the latest linux kernel is nothing new. Windows 7 is nothing new. The latest OS X is nothing new.
It's all just based on electrons (circa time 0) and copper wires (circa 17 or 18 something) and silicon transistors (circa whenever)
For that matter the hoover damn is just concrete (circa a long time ago) and steel (circa also a long time ago) and the golden gate bridge is just steel and whatever (circa a long time ago)
Recreating Facebook would take a sizeable team of very talented people working many months if not more than a year to engineer the code and supporting infrastructure. You know like any large engineering challenge. And that's what Facebook today is, a very large engineering challenge. Probably not less complicated in nature than a modern large sky scrapper or very long bridge etc
What? of course it should... If you couldn't do pixel perfect CSS layouts then developers would still be using a lot more png's and jpegs for simple things. Resulting in an overall crappier web. In my ideal world, by default all browsers would render everything exactly the same and give the end user the ability to rescale, re-size, modify and change whatever they want.
People don't violate traffic laws because they don't understand them, they violate traffic laws because they don't think they'll get caught.
I think you are missing the point of traffic school. Largely it's not to educated people on the laws it's to educate them on the potentially fatal consequences of their actions. Something that a lot of people don't understand. I'd wager that most people in traffic school have never been in a serve collision, had a loved on die, or understand 1/2mv^2 very well. A bunch of pictures and videos of crumpled cars, people dying and so on might help.
I don't know if it works at all but I believe that's the premise. Not to educate them about traffic laws...
There is no single "public". Some people don't want to pay for the library other people love the library and are outraged. Sounds a little less irrational that way.
If a taxi driver doesn't stop for people who dress like gangsters that's fine. If a greater proportion of those people are black then that's fine too. Go ahead and judge people by the way they dress or act or talk. Nobody is saying that you shouldn't do that. However, two people who look similar apart from their skin color should be treated similarly. If you are hiring people go ahead a judge them by their education- if there are no educated black people applying then don't hire them. However, you don't want to live in a world where a baby born black has less opportunity than anyone else. Racism limits a persons before they even have a chance to prove themselves. A society where everyone has a chance to reach their full potential is a much better place to live. More doctors, lawyers, teachers and all around productive people; fewer criminals and gang members.
That doesn't happen when some looks at a black person and says I'm not going to hire that guy because statistically he less educated and more likely to steal stuff. I'm not racist is statistics! No statistics aren't racists. Using them to generalize and judge an individual because people with his skin color are statistically more likely to have certain traits is racist. That is just justifying racism. Regardless of the statistics and which "category" someone falls into each person is entitled to be judged as an individual based upon their own character and their own achievements.
Instead crowing about statistics and using them to justify avoiding and discriminating against black people maybe you should be working to ensure that black people are treated equally- so a black person who is educated and productive like yourself has as easy a time finding a job and gets equal pay to yourself. So that his children can live in a nice area with schools that are properly funded and can grow up to be productive members of society and the leaders of tomorrow. And young black people from his community can see his success and realize by example that this is a path available to them. More of them will go to college and get good jobs themselves and you'll have better statistics and less to complain about.
No it's not a though call. That is the very definition of racism you bigot. Just because you think blacks are doing it to other blacks doesn't make it less racist.
Racism: discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race
Let me define the problem for you because you and everyone who has modded you up seem to be retarded. Take yourself, whoever you are, and changed your skin color to black. You are the exact same person as you were before however, now a taxicab won't stop for you and that job you have will no longer be available to you. That's fucking racism and anybody who defends this state of affairs is a bigot. period.
You have no control over how other black people act and you have no control over you skin color and you should not be judged on that basis.
Not only that- but he was also hacking a hospital. If his poorly crafted script kiddie hack had compromised the functions of even the administrative computers patients treatment could be compromised. This is a place of healing. If you fuck with a hospitals functions you should get 10 years.
Mostly the extra throughput will not be used. What is the real throughput anyway?
I have a feeling it will be very well used. When everybody's TV comes with 802.11ac and so does their laptop, dvr, raid box, smart phone, security cameras etc you can bet there will be a lot of video streaming around everywhere.
You will be able to touch a button and have the output from your iPad display on your 50" tv.
Yeah the kids will need braces and guess what? Braces are available as a direct result of the exact process described. How much do think a tire would cost if it was made by hand instead of in a largely automated factory? How much do you think an automobile would cost if every process that currently takes two people actually took 24? Without automation poor mom and dad wouldn't be able to afford food much less a car.
In fact there is a name for a society without automation. It's called subsistance farming. A world where close to 100% of the population works as farmers because we wouldn't dare automate anything because it would put people out of business.
No dude you didn't get it. The GP is saying that if http (port 80) is being hammered a well configured firewall can protect your internal network by dropping connections fast enough (i.e. black-holing connection attempts therefore reducing overall load) so that you can still get access via ssh. You can then log in and analyze the attack traffic and configure rules to respond. This is pretty basic stuff.
We are talking about a mercedes so a synthetic oil change would cost $70 - $80. So that's ~$6 not $2.25. And it's disingenuous to leave the tires brakes and all other maintenance for the next owner. Unless you are buying a brand new car every couple of years (something that would cost a huge amount) you are going to need new brakes and tires at some point. The kelly blue book assumes you are selling the car in good working condition not with bald tires and almost finished brakes. Additionally there are other maintenance items that are hard to quantify but they do exist. For confirmation of that just look around at all the auto mechanics in existence. They seem to be everywhere and somebody is paying them to do something.
But yes Acela from nyc to bos doesn't make much sense unless you value your time at more than $100/hour as the north east regional only takes 30 minutes longer and is just as fast as driving
Well again your numbers are wrong. You didn't even account for obvious expenses like oil changes, breaks and tires which have a linear cost with miles driven... According to this http://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/08/cost-car-ownership.asp driving a large sedan costs anywhere from $0.54 to $0.76 per mile. A nice new mercedes might be three times that amount. Even so using a modest $0.54 that gives us a cost of $118 or so to drive.
Amtrak offers a $49/ticket booked one month in advance.
For a family of 5 in a jalopy of course it's cheaper to drive. But that is a silly test. How many cars do you see on the road full of five people?
If you have one or two people and you factor in depreciation of you nice new mercedes due to added millage, maintenance (brakes, tires, oil changes, car washes, washer fluid, wear and tear on every other bit of the car) possibility of an accident and the expenses related to that, chance of a break down and being stranded on the side of the road with zombies chasing you etc etc it makes for a better case for the train...
But don't let me stop you from cherry picking your example... whatever makes you feel good.
And in a capitalistic society, being bankrupted is equivalent to an amputation of the limbs or even death.
I'm sorry but are you and everyone who modded this up insane in the mind?
I don't think there is anybody in this capitalist society who would even pause for thought if given the choice between being bankrupted, amputated or killed.
Actually rich people never keep their money "locked away". Like you said they invest it. If you look the nature of an investment it is basically the antithesis of keep money locked away. That investment creates companies and capital infrastructure which in turn creates jobs and builds the economy.
For example if I'm a rich guy and I decide to build a grocery store and plaza in a underserved area everyone benefits. People get a new place more convient place to shop saving them time. Companies get a space to locate their business without having to spend all of the money and take all of the risk of building it themselves. Employees get jobs in those businesses. A Win-win-win scenario all started by Rich Guys money.
The problem with america right now is that there have been massive efficiency gains from the Internet and computer revolution leading to massively increased profits per employee in some sectors and, for whatever reason, employee wages haven't reflected this. The difference between Rich and Poor is growing and is, in my opinion, too great a divide. One thing America desperately needs is an increase in the minimum wage.
Because 1) America basically gets all of our oil because they are a major consumer which is geographically very close. So that figure represents close to 100% of our production. 2) Saudi on the hand is half way round the world and america *still* gets a lot of oil from them. There total production is sent to europe, china, india and the rest of the world. 3) The oil sands are very costly to extract from compared to Saudi oil fields.
Also it doesn't really matter where America technically gets it's oil from. Oil is a global commodity traded on a vast scale and even if America imports zero barrels of oil from the Saudi's they will still be able to set the price. For example if the Saudi's cut their exports to China and Europe what will happen? Those consumers will start buying Canadian oil and the price goes up and Saudi makes more money for militants. America needs to use less oil.
Well the specific reason I don't donate has to do with Wikipedia editors.
I run a software company that has been around for 10+ years and we have over 100,000 people using our products. We offer hosted forums, blogs and other software. A lot of our competitors have wikipedia entries about their companies and their blog and forum software (detailing things like launch date, features, version history, noted users etc). Many of these competitors are much smaller and have fewer users than we do. Long story short when we try to create a wikipedia entry it immediately gets deleted by a zealot admin. Why would I donate to a foundation that promotes our competitors and doesn't allow us the same?

Agreed. Also not all of Canada is based up English Common Law. Quebec's laws are derived from Napoleonic Law.
