It has been absolutely proven beyond a doubt that people learn faster and more deeply when taking methamphetamine.
I don't see anybody advocating for handing out the meth in schools.
Why not?
Because Ritalin has the same effect and a more socially acceptable name.
YouTube can't make the decision about whether it's parody, they must take it down when they receive the notice in order to preserve their safe-harbor protection. No discretion is permitted.
This is, in fact not the case. If they refuse to take down a video upon receiving notice, they lose safe harbor only for that particular video.
It's right up there with "shorthand", which I had to learn the rudiments of when I was a teen "because you'll use this all the time"
The difference between shorthand and cursive is that shorthand really might come in handy from time to time, if you have to take notes and can't, for whatever reason, use a computer to do it.
No that's not just "neat" it's the essence of computer science. Algorithms, information theory, theory of computation, computer architecture, AI, robotics, etc... all these aspects of computer science I can study and research without touching a programming language.
You can't study algorithms without a formal language which might as well be a programming language. Theory of computation is all about programming as well. Of those you've listed, only information theory can be studied without involving some form of programming.
Scientists and engineers may have worked out the economics of doing this, but have they included that nasty concept of Corporate Lawyers?
I'd expect that a satellite in a retirement orbit would still belong to the original owner, but the Corporate Lawyers aren't necessarily a large bar. If it's the original owner doing or benefiting from the salvaging, or if they get a sufficient cut of the savings, the lawyers can stick to writing contracts rather than getting in the way.
A larger problem seems to be that for this to work, it has to be cheaper to maintain a repair capability in GEO than to launch new satellites. Launching satellites is expensive, but developing and maintaining a repair capability is basically a complete unknown.
Scott Hanselman. Ok, I dont know if you meant personally or not, but I also know quite a few people personally who went to mediocre schools and got great jobs.
Microsoft's Scott Hanselman? He's not a recent grad. Yes, lots of people went to mediocre schools and got great jobs. What I'm saying is that it looks to me like things have changed. "Unless you go to MIT or similar", you're going to find it hard to get a good job in the field.
That's a nice anecdote you got there, but it isn't hard data. What more people need to realize is that they don't need to go to Harvard. Go to a school in your state, and your tution will only be about $5000 a semester.
Plus fees, plus living expenses, plus books, etc.
Also, do you know anyone who recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from a lesser school who has managed to get a good job in the field?
Success or failure is based ENTIRELY upon personal factors--initiative and diligence being the top.
ROTFL. You must be either omnipotent or quite full of yourself. It's true that success or failure is largely dependent on personal factors. It's also IMO true that most people who fail do so based on personal factors. But personal factors include things out of one's control, like who one's parents are. And a lot of people do fail due to things outside their control, both personal and non-personal.
Start your own business.
Not all people have the innate skill to become entrepreneurs, just as they don't all have the innate skill to write code. And most businesses fail; that's simply a fact of business.
Most Ron Paul supporters are kids who've never heard of Love Canal, and don't know what a SuperFund Site is.
Ah, Love Canal. Where a chemical company sold, under protest and for a nominal fee, a waste dump to a municipal government, explicitly noting the waste was there. Said government then proceeded to treat the dump in various stupid ways, releasing the waste. And then they sued the chemical company over it.
"Stuxnet source code is not out there. Only the original authors have it. So, this new backdoor was created by the same party that created Stuxnet." - F-Secure.
Unless someone reverse-engineered the object code. It's been done for lesser reasons.
Star Wars is space opera, traditionally considered a branch of science fiction. Sure, you could replace the blasters with bows and the lightsabers with swords and the spaceships with horses and you'd have a samurai film, but the details do matter... otherwise every boy-meets-girl-who-turns-out-to-be-his-sister would be the same genre.
So they've made a name for themselves as independent, only to throw it all away now by selling out to one of the most soulless corporations out there. They might as well go whole-hog and start whoring themselves out by making music for corporate commercials.
Hey, what's the point of building a name if you can't cash in on it?
The market for the XServe just wasn't working out for Apple (and never has, though they've tried more than once in their history), so they killed it. But that's a different sort of professional than the "creative" professionals which they have historically done well with. Far as I can tell they haven't been abandoning them, they just screwed up with Final Cut.
The tags show low prices when on the shelf, but when brought near the register they increase. You use the same technology on the shelf price labels so if someone comes running back with an increased item to check, they show the high price.
I'm enjoying this new troll immensely, but you need to do a bit of research. Autism/Asperger's isn't inherited.
Being an arrogant ass does run in families, though, and it's occasionally confused with Asperger's. Not clear whether being an arrogant ass is inherited or influenced by family environment; my money is on "both".
Something like this seems to fall under the category of "abuse", but I'm sure the well oiled lawmakers see it differently.
The US government WANTS this. They can then do takedowns without even the pro forma court-orders they get now; just a word to Verisign and the domain is gone, no questions asked.

Sub-Sarahan Africa, the "-stans", much of South America... plenty of traditional underdeveloped countries to go around.
Great, food farms to supply people farms. Not how I'd like to live.

The point of the "big boy rules" is to ensure the little guy doesn't get a chance.
This is, in fact not the case. If they refuse to take down a video upon receiving notice, they lose safe harbor only for that particular video.

So an app on the iPad can't present any number of arithmetic problems and give a child feedback on right and wrong answers right away?
You obviously don't need computers to teach, but to claim that can't be helpful is just Luddism.

Actually we can, but it doesn't work as well as vaccines. The effect of antibody administration lasts for a very short time.

The ass-end of a Vietnamese civet, if you really must know.

What do you expect? If the resources are ultimately finite, kicking the can down the road as far as you can is the best you can do.

That assumes your machines don't mutate, ala Jurassic Park.
Bring it!
