I want my great great grandson to live too... and I want him to rule over the remnants of mankind with an iron fist and will of steel. The coming environmental disaster will be the beginning of our dynasty... or maybe the robots will take over.
Unfortunately the people who benefit the most from the current environtmentally unfriendly energy sources are the same people who are in power today (G. W. Bush)...
You are so right, because the Chinese and the Indians are definitely not using the cheapest most polluting fuels they can to grow their economies. Give me a break.
The need for energy is only increasing and most people will keep ignoring this whole disaster scenario until it actually happens.
Maybe people are sick and tired of sensationalism. Scientists use ultra worst case scenarios to push their agendas forward. (see here). With media attention they can argue for more funding... and the media likes it because it continues to draw attention meaning they can sell more ads. Many politicians like it because they can use it to justify their expense to society and feel self-important because they're calling the G8 to task. Right or wrong, people are just sick and tired of all of the posturing.
The same question that killed Lotus on the desktop back in the day, is still applicable today. Can it run Linux? Lotus couldn't... and now it is no more.
What reason could you have for running a huge study on the intellectual limits of one sex or another, or one race or another, but to use that information to exclude that race or sex on the basis of their supposed lack of ability?
Because the social norms are driving actions, not good science. People look at inequalities in certain fields, in this case science and math, and start from the assumption that both groups of individuals are completely equal in all capabilities. They then begin attacking the "social" issues without having any proof that such issues actually exist. To immediately rule out the question simply because it goes against your social norms, without being honest about why you rule out the question, is bad science.
is for your electronics to measure your enjoyment of the media and then charge you accordingly. Of course you'd still pay a per-use fee, and a general content licensure fee equivalent to the cost of the media today.
And booksellers will license the ideas in the book to you, with the understanding that any benefit you gain from the material in the book is subject to royalty payments.
Alexandre Julliard, of Wine fame, is rumored to be scheduled to join OSDL as a fellow in February. At that time OSDL, along with it's three fellows, Linus Torvalds, Andrew Tridgell, and Alexandre Julliard will announce a radically new direction for Linux, Samba, and Wine... to create Longhorn before Microsoft does.
They needed to force the software makers to make a alternative to all their software that is Posix/Linux compatible.
You don't go far enough, the government needs to sieze control of all software companies and return their assets to the proletariat. The greedy capitalists should be "tried" and shot for oppressing the honest working man for so many years.
It's not really surprising that Bill Gates equates anti-DRM folks with communism when people actually believe drivel like what the parent posted.
Google will create a massive distributed infrastrucutre for processing all electronic communications using their existing search technology and their keyhole mapping technology. The system will be complemented by a series of satellites launched by Google to monitor all activity on the planet. Google will purchase North Dakota and set themselves up as an independant state, and will then sell the results of their new search system to governments for a nominal fee. Governments will flock to the new service as it reduces the cost of maintaining their own spy network and allows them to avoid pesky local privacy laws.
We joke about welcoming our new overlords, but, in earnest, I for one welcome our new all seeing, all knowing, all searching Google overlords.
knowing that no one actually takes any "manifesto" seriously anymore, while at the same time the sponsor bloggers to write their own manifesto's citing how P2P is the best way to steal music, movies, and software.
The two factors Google is considering right now are time for complete transmission of a dataset (they measure it in petabytes) and cost. With the high cost of fuel and the increased maintenance costs, they've decided it is cheaper to purchase a dark fiber network and light it, then to maintain their fleet of 1985 Chevy Station Wagons, the ones with the sweet fake wood trim.
tell me that many will blog about how they couldn't blog. Some will complain about the stress of not being able to express themselves, others will question the engineering prowess of LiveJournal and wildly speculate about the cause of the power outage followed by plans to re-engineer the data center, the LiveJournal infrastructure and 93% of the Internet to ensure this never happens again (X.25 over barbed-wire will be suggested).
Several individuals will join together to file a class action lawsuit against LiveJournal and the data center citing their inability to express themselves due to neglicance and will seek real and punitive damages totalling over $2.5 billion dollars.
Someone probably hit the big red switch on the wall, the one covered in a plastic case, the one right by doors, the one that turns on the fire supression system, but also looks like it might open the door. Either that or the cleaning crew was vacumming in the DC again.
I wish this wasn't AC, because this compares with Luther's 95 Theses although on a much smaller and completely insignificant scale. This post is dead on and deserves to be modded as insightful.
There are plenty of blogs out there that no one reads because it's a pack of lies or it provides no information.
Nope, liars and opionists flourish in our society, they just have to be entertaining. Blogs that are full of lies and factless opinions will flourish if they present their case with flare and if their conclusions (logical or otherwise) are inline with the beliefs of the people reading the blog. Most people have lost their ability and desire to destinguish a valid argument and would prefer to be enterained by an outrageous rant and wild speculation. Facts, truth, and real uncertainity about a complex situation or issue is far too boring.
The OS, Gentoo Linux, took about a week to get fully up and running...
Wow, compiling Gentoo from scratch in just one week? That's amazing performance! Most people take a full revision cycle to get a Gentoo system up and running.

I agree. It looks to me like the Independant needed to drive up their hits so they can sell more ads.

That wasn't a very nice thing to show me. I feel like I should take a shower.
If your camera was based on open standards you could port OpenVMS to it.

If anything the government beurocrats will want to go and find out what is holding up BSD's death certificate.

I'm certain that we need to preemptively strike something NOW!
No, its not rocket science for me. But for most Neophytes it is.
I'm not sure I'm a Neophyte, but will I need to also purchase a soldering iron to link all of these contraptions together?
Remove a piece of spyware, take a shot.
Install a Microsoft security patch, take a shot.

Ah, you are right. Thanks for the correction.
