People like this who don't value their democratic freedoms should be made to live by their own decrees. So start with James Lovelock's democratic rights:
- I'm sorry Mr Lovelock, you no longer have a say in that
- I'm sorry Mr Lovelock, but you may no longer speak on that issue. If you do, you shall be arrested.
- I'm sorry Mr Lovelock, but you're under arrest. Your rights have been stripped so we don't have to give you a reason, or a trial, or let your family know.
- I'm sorry Mr Lovelock, but your food, water, and oxygen rations have been reallocated to someone else.
How'd ya like that lack of democracy now you crazy coote? Didn't think so.
Reductio ad aburdum? Perhaps, but then again what he's saying is so absurd perhaps the reductio part wasn't needed.
I still wonder if these researchers got something wrong in their method/technique because you'd think we'd have noticed changes to people's morality in hi B fields before.
The Sydney Morning Herald had an informal web poll today with 3 choices: In Favour of filtering, Against filtering, Indifferent. Last I looked at it 96% had voted against! That's overwhelming. You usually get lots of indifferent here. How this sad man Stephen Conroy can claim to be a representative of the people is beyond me. He is clearly acting against their interests and against their wishes. He's one of few politicians here that's gotten public death threats (not that I could ever condone something as stupid as a death threat). Since he would seek to push ahead despite this he should be sacked. I have no idea if there's a legal provision for it in the Australian constitution (and I doubt there is) but there ought to be.
One the prime reasons that cyber bullying is of particular focus now is that you simply can't escape it.
What?!?!?! This kind of remark drives me insane!!! Being a slashdot reader you should know better. Teach your kid to turn off the damn cell phone or computer once in a while. You sure can escape it!
If we believe his story, then the original screenplay was nothing at all like the finished product. The Scientologists asked him to totally rewrite it, he refused, they fired him and got someone else to rewrite it. So at that point it became a choice between taking his name off the credits or getting paid. I'm honestly not sure what I would have done in that situation.
Are you kidding man? He got to TAKE money AWAY from Scientology!!! How many get that opportunity? Falling on his sword was a no brainer.
Cost of real estate in prime metropolitan area - $15 million Cost of state of the art server rocks - $30 million Cost of flying in a cooler the size of a small bus on a 747 - $2 million Cost of seeing data center employee's face when they realise they're on call 24/7 for no extra cash - Priceless.
People can afford to be different today and I don't see any problem with it. I don't hate wealthy people because they can afford nice cars, attain beautiful women (often more than one), and receive more specialized care. I see nothing wrong with their success and I hope to be one of those people someday.
Attain beautiful women? More than one? And you plan to do this by reading slashdot?
Spot on. Same goes for science and I'm sure other subjects too.
No one's done anything remotely convincing that tells me me that young minds aren't fit to understand math. Kids are actually BETTER at picking up languages than adults, so the pattern recognition and ability to abstract is already there in a young child.
Even in highschool it's all learn by rote and you're actually put down if you ask why or how is it applied.
I find it much more convenient to maintain a single phone. I accept that my boss can then call me on it. If I objected to that yes I'd get a company phone, and keep my private number unlisted. But support is part of my job and I'm happy to help in a genuine emergency providing that it isn't abused. So far I've only received one unexpected call when I wasn't on support for the night in 5 years at my current job.
Meh. If you're on call, you're owned anyway. Which phone they call you on doesn't matter and you won't get any separation between work and personal time (when you are on call). If your company doesn't respect that you have time when you're not on call, that's a whole other issue.
I would always want my own unrestricted phone under my own control. If, as the case is now, that phone gets light-moderate work related use, that's fine since it beats the other option of having 2 phones. Also, if I drop or break it, there's no drama (apart from having to replace it). Now if I was using the phone for hours each day, I'd be wanting a separate work phone.
By "the market" I meant finger friendly touch screen phones which an emphasis on visual style and simplicity of use. That's what iPhone invented
What a bunch of revisionist nonsense. You've defined the market as a very narrow subset of the smartphone market based on a single feature (touch screen). Smart phones have been around for a long time. The iPhone may have popularised touch screens but it did not innovate. Go crawl back into your Apple fanboi hole.
Bone heads. Apple's partially closed approach has been a PR disaster. Despite having a slick phone, there are plenty who'll avoid it like the plague. Only the fact that it was first to market has saved it So MS, who's anything but first to market with advanced smartphones, decides to go one better and close development to everything except CNA and Silverlight? (while Ironically Apple won't support Flash). It's like watching Dumb and Dumber.

Presumably, if you had physical access to the drive, wouldn't you have more time to crack it than two hours?
Would you believe this much? Okay chief, this is top secret. Let's use the cone of silence.

Yeah the Cosmology's out of date but it's amazing how much of the show still holds up.
Some of Sagan's books are quite inspiring too. Pale Blue Dot and Demon Haunted World are 2 of his best.
I'm still a big proponent of the USD—the "universal safety device,"
It's a railroad spike sticking straight out of the steering wheel.
The way some people drive, they'd probably use it to hold their doughnuts and completely ignore the danger.
Run Timmy! Run!
You are mistaken. Parallax only works for nearby objects (basically the nearest stars).
Here's how it was done:

Also look at each of the descriptions on the image links on the right hand side.
And a little more about how they did it:

Or, if it makes her feel better to not call it a cure..."Would you like to see all the colors, like just about everyone else can?"
Or in her case "Would you like fries with that?"
Then again advanced burger mechanics might be beyond her ken.

I wonder if something like what's described regarding Uranus and Neptune swapping orbits could also play a role in Uranus being on it's side.
