Maybe it's from the Scandinavian immigrants? Where I'm sitting (airport KKN) it warmed up significantly today (-19C/-2F), up from -30C/-22F yesterday. I'm at the coast though, so it's quite warm compared to the inland weather (-40C/F yesterday).
My mom subscribes to the idea that it ought to be as many positive Celsius degrees inside as there are negative degrees outside (i.e. +30C/86F inside when it's -30C outside), so we really couldn't survive the heat of living further inland;-)
At least it failsafes to every site being flagged. Much better than it just letting people get malware ridden sites.
You must be kidding? 15 minutes of the entire planet being without our precious Google is *much* better than some stupid yahoo getting a virus from his pr0n site? Not to me, at least...
$('#div').html(data); }); That (if I got it right off the top of my head) makes a GET request to the file test.php and dumps whatever test.php produced into an element with the ID "div".

What's even worse is that they're using Equifax, which used to have unbelievably bad data-quality (at least when I worked at Fair Isaac(FI) -- and I can't imagine that they've changed). One of the surest ways to have your FICO score go wonky is to get garbage data from the agencies. Conceptually, the data about you is sent to FI, who in turn computes you FICO score and transmits it back. FI isn't allowed to merge/scrub/verify data from different sources, so it's pretty easy for inaccuracies to sneak in unnoticed (they're obviously allowed to scrub/skip-trace against NCOA etc.).
Additionally, the data was never intended for non-credit related decision making, so it seems likely that you'd end up with "lots-of-pretty-numbers" without any analytical value.
Your view of evolution is quite naive. Any selective pressure the hiv virus would exert vs. the CCR5 mutation is very small because (a) the mutation exists among a population (northern-European) that already has superlative access to treatment, and (b) in this same population hiv infection has historically been identified with non-procreating individuals.
Human evolution is also closely tied to our intelligence, so if you feel that strongly about our species survival, it's hopefully not too late for your own sterilization -- let some smarter genes get a better chance...
If that doesn't convince you, consider how many times you've taken anti-biotics, gotten vaccines, or otherwise tampered with the biologically pure master bloodline. According to your own arguments that would qualify for sterilization.

Then surely, by extension, you'd have to have a court system for banking cases -- the things you, I, and a judge don't understand about banking is sure to fill a couple of years in business school...? Then which special court should this case go to? Who would decide?
(3b) Nobody knows what intelligence is, except that "it is what is measured on an IQ test", and what, then, is an IQ test? "Oh, it's a test that measures Intelligence Quotients!" (definition-by-infinite-recursion).
Since we don't know what IQ is, it follows that we cannot know whether it is innate or not. IQ test scores tend to be stable for a person over time, but that is correlation not necessarily causation.

It's hard to come up with intelligent titles in the very limited number of characters that you're allowed. Throwing in the word "speculation" would have made it too long. In this case the article suggests the question, so I'm not sure I see your point.
Yes, I think so too. In addition, I don't think, the Mars rovers certainly aren't programmed in C++ either...
They used elements of Roge Wave Software's Tools.h++ library. It was before my time as tech lead for that product, but I remember we had a picture of the rover on our homepage for a while.

+2 Troll is Slashdot's way of saying groupthink is confused
.. or maybe just a good troll...?
Ahh, it's like american PBS, except completely without commercials instead of having a few commercials between programs?
Correct. It doesn't have those endless membership drives either ;-)

Time to see if Alta Vista still exists.
it does.
$.get('test.php', function(data) {
$('#div').html(data);
});

Isn't that the same as
$('#div').load('test.php');
?

Methinks you have no idea what you're talking about. Perhaps you should google for Herb Sutter?
Safari 3.0.4 is out for Windows. I've only tried it for a couple of days, but it's a significant improvement over the last beta :-)
