Doesn't seem to be much of a problem in the RC aircraft world. I think it would be less of a problem in this case, as they can easily inform whoever needs to know.
Why not simply shoot the drone from the ground, then? No need to bother with RC helis, as fun as that sounds. Also, I think if that did become a problem, it wouldn't be too long before they simply use an RF jammer, and you're screwed, unless you turn your RC heli into an automated drone, too, which isn't that easy at the moment.
Yeah, because a big helicopter is much safer than a small drone. There is no reason that RC aircraft can't be made/maintained to the same standards as normal aircraft and still be insanely cheaper, more reliable (less parts), and safer (less mass and no pilot to worry about). I'd be much more worried about driving to work etc.
The thing is, you can look at the situation the other way; that Windows is more uninspiring in general, so an otherwise passionate and sensitive person is less likely to bother defending it.
Seems pretty well accepted, and I'm pretty sure there is solid neuroscientific evidence that stimuli not consciously seen can have an effect on the brain. Perhaps you are confusing it with using subliminal messages to "program" people to do things they wouldn't normally do or believe, which does seem to be of questionable effectiveness.
But surely if they repeated it two more times, it would be unlikely that a significant amount of people in the groups happened to be in sync with each other? I agree that it does mean it is less accurate, but significant enough to change the results?
I'm pretty sure you'll find that creativity can indeed be measured to some degree. The value of what they create, on the other hand, is much more subjective. And it makes sense from a cognitive psychological point of view: Apple is associated with creativity more than IBM, so seeing it is more likely to increase one's creative mood, even if it is only slight. They've done scientific tests where people reacted with increased dopamine levels simply after seeing a Coke commercial. How is this any different?
The main reason you no longer by Apple products is because of people commenting on your blog and the behavior of other Apple users? Also, sane people generally go more unnoticed than the nutters -- there are plenty of sane (and probably some insane) Mac users who have no desire to make sure that everyone knows they use a Mac.
I've done a graphic design and a multimedia course at a Mac-only campus, and I agree. Most of the Apple "fans" I know like Apple because they like the product and don't really have much fanatic loyalty or think twice about pointing out the occasional gripes they have with Apple.
The thing is, even I post a lot of Apple-defensive comments. But it's mainly because I can't stand it when I see someone using a poor argument (because there sure are a lot of idiots out there, as well as people with genuine gripes), so I probably get dumped in the same boat as the rabid Apple fan.
The problem here is that people who have experience can often be arrogant, and that leads to bad decisions. Perhaps you really should listen to the youngins once in a while, because they may give you the perspective you are lacking on some things. Young people aren't necessarily stupid, you know.
That's me. I've also had other interests besides IT, such as graphic design. These days there is often little need for many people in IT to need to know the basics of all areas within IT or its legacy. I'm not so sure it explains some of the problems, as when people get good in one area, they also become aware of their deficiencies in other areas, so I think it can be put it back to a more general ability to understand -- I.E. people who aren't very good at their current area might contribute in that way to some of the problems in IT.
I'm a curious person, but mechanics such as jet engines still usually win over software and maths when it come to browsing my subjects of interest. It's just that there are so many areas that I could spend my time researching on IT these days that I tend to filter out much of it unless it's near an area I'm heading to in terms of my current work and projects.
Not necessarily. That timeline seems right. I didn't have USB drives when I was a kid and I was just starting to hear about the internet. But that was a long time ago -- I don't really consider myself to be the same person now because I'm an adult. USB flash drives feel more familiar and even nostalgic to me than floppies. A floppy disk is some old relic that was around before I even got here. When I see one and think about them, it's more like "people used to put up with this?" rather than "I remember having to work with these" as we're talking about the workplace. Before I actually worked with computers, they were just another toy to pull apart and learn from -- my mindset and reason for using them, among other things, was quite different back then.
You do understand the concept of research and development, right? If you have to ask if this is useful and then point out that at the moment it has some issues, then I think you've missed the point.
If you think that Apple's success is because they are an alternative to Microsoft, then I think you must be drinking the kool-aid. The main people who "reject" Microsoft are nerds like us. Other people don't "reject" Microsoft, they just find Apple better, and that very much has to do with Steve Jobs and Apple itself.
An armed rebellion against his own country, or of another country invading? As for that other crap, unless you have any proof, it is simply mindless, childish allegations created solely to discredit him. Time to put down the crack pipe perhaps?
How is the Dalai Lama's view point on abortion any different to many people here?
The Dalai Lama has admitted that Tibet hasn't been under perfect rule throughout history, but at least he admits it. And I have never seen anything to suggest he is against democracy -- just the opposite. You're taking about a country that is more than 50 years old, BTW. And even so, it is not acceptable to invade a country with arms, assume control, and meddle with their religious affairs by killing and torturing monks and any other people who question the situation.
The Dalai Lama has said that independence isn't even his main goal. All he wants is autonomy so that he and other Tibetans can practice their religion.
How about you read something about this issue that wasn't cooked up by the PRC?
Perhaps because many of those countries have acknowledge their own history, whereas China as simply tried to make up some propaganda filled story? Those other countries also don't seem to mess around with religious affairs as much. From what I've read, the PRC has even gone as far as trying to install their own "Lama" into the Dalai Lama's linage, something to the equivalent of a foreign country trying to plant a non-Catholic in as The Pope.
And why do you think that people who care about Tibet don't care about other issues? After all, this is the internet, where it's easy to talk about non-local issues. Perhaps it's because the meddling seems more obvious in Tibet. Either way, I don't think it's wise to assume people only care about Tibet just going by what you read on the internet.
Not many Macs (if any) have such LEDs, and I'm glad. If I really need to know what the HDD is doing, I'll run a utility that gives me all sorts of info.
But you'd still loose a lot of good info. Do you really think wikipedia would have all that info if everyone who contributed was required to find a citation for everything? Why do you think it was designed so that you don't even need an account to edit or create an article? Because if you make it too hard, many people won't bother with it.
Really? I've been there recently for a number of subjects, and have still found it useful as a place to start research. I don't think it's beyond fixing, because it isn't broken enough yet in the first place, IMHO. I know there is a lot of crap going on, but I've yet to actually run into much of it.

What was locked down about it, exactly?

Are you saying that people should never bother to right wrongs, or something?
