Currently, the world practices the opposite. The notes of Bush's press conferences are regularly scrubbed of Bushisms. People of power and authority should be held to a high standard. But why ridicule someone who doesn't know any better whether it is a child or a poster for whom English isn't the first language? If you are worried about precision, you can always do your own paraphrase without quotes.
Getting a payload back from Phobos would be good practice. Getting a manned mission back from Phobos would be even better. Preferably rendezvousing with a Martian payload a lander has deposited.
Remember, it wasn't Apollo 1 that landed on the moon. When people start talking about an Apollo 8 style mission to Mars (but better), we'll know Mars isn't a fantasy anymore.
Why the hate? Because the organizations are often run by posers who want to "keep taxes low" and don't care whether the job gets done?
I worked for a major metro U.S. city's MIS director in the 80s who had the balls to tell the City Council that the job would take this many dollars and these many personnel or it wouldn't get done. They restructured his ass out of there, put in a yes-man and paid for a zillion bucks of private contractors (because they get paid in "different" money I guess). The project was your classic buggy debacle that ran many years over schedule and enraged citizens with the likes of $5000 water bills at rollout.
"The study... offers evidence that number words are a concept invented by human cultures as they are needed, and not an inherent part of language, Gibson said."
How long has it been since fast food restaurants have had real cash registers?
Ok, to some people, no. But consider that the apps like Photoshop and Flash that my wife and I use are already odd-man-out programs that feel like legacy when we run them in qemu virtualization. The paradigm shift has occurred. The battle is being won for early adopters. The rest is mop-up.
I don't know. When did Microcenter last have that Belkin rebate? Couple years ago? Three years ago? Was something like $15 for the router. And I rebooted it.......Gee, I don't know. Have I rebooted it? Had a power outage last summer during a storm. Darn it, two so far this summer. Guess they rebooted it.
Same for the five year old Linksys. I'm voting with the people who say _his_ piece of crap is failing.
You must fall on the Windows side of Slashdot. Usenet is still a good _non_proprietary_ source of programming and technical discussion. No registrations, paid or unpaid. I really lament the fragmentation of information to specialty web sites. And, if I can be crusty for a moment, I'd rather deal with the spam than all the ads and poor html design and layout. Still have a couple linux groups on Pan that I check regularly.
I liked Thom Hartmann's idea that whoever becomes president will _have_ to respond to America in crisis. Both Roosevelts were "class traitors" because they had to do _something_ to restore the country. In that light, sure, let's build Obama into the second coming of Christ so the disappointment when he acts like a 2004 Democrat as President might finally explode the American people into a rage of action that _demands_ Obama fulfill his mandate.
Unfortunately, the more he ignores the constitution and the will of the people before he is nominated, much less elected, the more wiggle room we give him to act like a typical politician and say, "Hey, you knew what I was like before you elected me!"
If you discovered a tweak that could double lifespan in a particular genetic population, would you work to distribute it immediately or do more research to generalize it to all humanity before a distribution?
A country run by four people: President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, Speaker of the Senate. One more dead moderate Supreme Court judge and they won't matter. We'll know how they vote.
Fit the nation's leadership comfortably in a Prius. The way it pretty much is now anyway but Pelosi presumably just doesn't like the occasional criticism or the occasional Representative talking about something he "shouldn't".
Cheapbytes has survived selling distros for several years now. Purchased from them myself to have a complete set rather than downloading a couple DVDs. Generally speaking, they're a lot cheaper than $20 but, then, not so much on the pretty retail box and store distribution.
Well, not so clueless an otaku after all that he can't negotiate.
Figured. He'd have stolen the gold from OJ and Robert Blake if the jury did not commit because leading the police back to the badly-cleaned bloody car certainly "implied" the glove fit.
For all I care, the AJAX can reach out and give me good sex. But when the major networks started putting their week's content on the web I asked myself whether it was still the web or some TV/entertainment thingie.
Just saying. What sort of class action suit could a few million people initiate against Google for exposing them to the liability of feeding them illegal material without notice?
You're too kind. They can engrave the bible on something like the head of a pin, can't they? Hard copy shouldn't need to expend too many resources, so there is serious need for researching how evidence has to be presented.
On the one hand, it should give AI research some inspiration on how to interface various AI functions.
On the other hand, there's the slacker nature of evolution. Is the human brain really the _best_ we can do? The paradigm might set back AI theorizing for decades.
It's the soc degree in me. Anyone under the mid-sixties with a college degree has very likely had to use email and at least cruised the intra/internet at work. Whether they bother at home is another question. But I always remind myself that not everyone has a college degree or at least an office job.
Under Forty-ish seems about right for the average milestone of "growing up at home with computers". I first connected to CompuServe at 300 baud Thanksgiving weekend of '86.
Technically, I had my toddler mind warped by TV in LA in '52-53 so I'm postmodern but I went without for something like three years when my mother moved back to North Dakota so 1960 sounds reasonable for national saturation. Which means that for the nursing home crowd TV really still is that new thing that displaced the (mostly tube, mostly non-portable) radios they listened to as kids.
Can't expect people to make _two_ techno leaps. It's like asking someone in his 40s to IM instead of email.
Not crazy about that phrase. Unless you've encrypted something and they crack it, what exactly is the social contract about what's "public" when you hand your computer over to a tech? Isn't really like there is a defined lawyer/client, doctor/patient precedent, is there?
Maybe there should be. But I doubt the answer is having every PC tech majoring in criminal justice.
Lots of reasons the demographic is skewed. Does the internet have over 50% penetration in the over 50s yet? I would think a very small percentage of people over 40 were exposed to BBS/internet service when still at home with their parents not to mention the nonexistence of those fancy Star Trek communicator cell phone thingies. So what is there besides TV to feel comfortable with if you don't grow after childhood?
Met him once. When I mentioned he made the NYT list of interesting obits for the year at a Mensa gathering in January I was surprised to discover that several people maintained contact with him and were very fond of him. There are worse ways to make friends than start the Church of the Eternal Child. He wasn't unloved.

By "cleaning out" you mean wipe, of course, not delete.

5-4 vote is the only thing that'll preserve that bit of our constitution and freedoms.

Hey, I resemble that!

If:
1. The remaining work available in the U.S. is intellectual, and
2. Louisiana chooses not to teach their children to think logically and clearly
then,
Thanks, Louisiana, for helping to reduce the competition. Hey, the need for manual labor can be underestimated.

It's not so much that people go around wearing body armor
Sure they do. Every person alone in an Expedition because he thinks a Prius with 5-star driver, 4-star passenger just isn't safe enough.
Either that or small dick but I haven't seen research on the latter.
Well, not so clueless an otaku after all that he can't negotiate.
