Maybe. But one thing is for sure: Instead of all these comments that say it's not really the gender that matters you'd get a lot of comments to the effect of "hey, that's just how it is."
That kind of blackmail only works if you're the only country with a nuclear bomb. If they aren't "dummies" as you say then they will also realize that they can't actually use it either. So, back to square one with the normal, everyday brutality of "regular" war that people on this planet seem to love so much.
I guess your point is that if a technology is no longer around it wasn't any good. That's not a very good point to make. Technology improvements happen faster and faster and just because something has been supplanted doesn't mean it wasn't really good at the time.
By the way, Firewire is still shipping in Apple laptops.
You forgot shake testers and aerogel. Perl was initially developed at JPL. Stuff happens--or used to happen--at NASA centers that no corporation would ever try if they couldn't see an immediate dollar in it.
They barely look out the front window. Seriously, most people should not be allowed to pilot a car. It's a deadly projectile and yet people drive like they're in a video game.
Do you really think that Obama would revoke all that crap Bush put in place? If he did, the instant something happened he'd catch he'll for having restored the Constitution. Besides, the public was eager to give up their rights anyway.
Sure, that's fine. However, just about EVERYBODY in this thread is off topic. Some poor CANADIAN citizen is about to be executed because he wrote an image upload program for crying out loud.
But if most of those Muslims are so great why aren't they out in force protesting this disgusting display of moronic oppression? And where are they in Egypt, where it sounds like pretty much the whole country wants to behead a guy because he tweeted that he might possibly not think that Mohammed is not all that great? Those are not the actions of a few select despots, it is a whole culture of hate/fear/oppression of anyone who steps outside their religious bounds.
As always, people who live in glass houses should not cast stones.
You may be right. But Iran is still about to execute someone for writing a program that uploads photos that someone else used to upload something that some repressive authorities found offensive. That is still the effed up story here. Your points may be valid, but that doesn't make Iran any less primitive or Islam any less disgusting.
Good point, but I'm not sure how that's any different from the right wing ideologies. On paper they sound good but in practice they lead to a fair amount of misery, too.
If you think that's bad, imagine what it feels like to be an American! We were founded on awesome principles and ushered in on the back of slavery and genocide only to see things go on the down slide from there.

"But I'll mistrust their facts forever now. Just the way it is."
Really? You'll distrust a show that cared enough to expose its own mistake?
I sincerely hope you'll remember your own sentiment next time you make an error in judgement at work.
We still have that. Or at least I do. I do all my coding with Word.
"Right now, laziness is keeping the vast majority of uninformed dolts away from the ballot boxes."
I think it's the uninformed dolts who are doing most of the voting. How else do you explain the types of leaders we are getting?
The department of redundancy department.
I agree. It's nice to key in on a buzz word for judgement. It precludes having to examine and think about what is actually being said.

Actually, it does have a drill, but probably not what you're thinking about.
Nice try, but I think everyone here has latched onto the "source code" idea. Knowing the opcodes are very, very different indeed.

"Until SETI improves its resolution, this is all just masturbation."
Well, then, count me in!

I heard that some Afghanis burned a copy of K&R. I say we take to the streets!
It's likely the world would have been a better if they had.
Nonsense. Soon they will be Arduino controlled.

At least in Iowa we know how to spell "you're."
Wow, a "FTFY" that was actually a fix and not just some snarky re-purposing of the original post. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before.

I should have realized your mom reads Slashdot, too. She must be proud.
