If we give them rights do we have to jail dolphins that kidnap and rape other dolphins? Yeah, the do this. When I saw the footage on that I immediately thought of all the people who look at dolphins like they're better than humans. Aaaaaapparently not.
Teachers as a whole represent the low end of the grade scale in college. Naturally, there are exceptions. Why would those exceptions want to teach? Yes, there's that passion to make a difference but the lure of a good career is hard to resist. Then you think, "I can always come back and teach" and either never do or find that the system of education, esp. in the U.S., is largely apathetic towards teachers. The administration provides the curriculum and dole out the duties to under-paid, under-appreciated teachers. Ultimately, those low-grade college students, like in the rest of society, have just slowly migrated to their profession.
Probably not. My roommate doesn't know how to use bittorent and I don't online game anymore. Since you brought it up, I find bittorent a bit like mail order. It's slow enough that by the time I get the copy downloaded and realize it's either not what I thought it was or lower quality than I wanted I've wasted my time. I realize for some it's great but my experience, albeit far from recent, hasn't been satisfactory.
I won't discount the buffer problem because I just don't know. But the single biggest contributor to "latency" when I visit a webpage is connectivity to ad sourcers. I can click to go to a site and stare at a blank screen while my status bar flickers with: "Transferring data from ads.that.you.could.care.less.about.com."
I have a box full of 3.5" floppies much of which predates Y2K. I have a parallel port Zip drive as well, though I think I erased all of those discs after scavenging them recently.
Why not expect them to spell AND use proper grammar the way it has been for ages? Using culture skews like texting as "language" in academics results in a dumbed-down student pool. Don't bitch about students graduating with poor literacy rates and no interest in math and science (because hey, that takes effort!) when you advocate stupidity being the norm.
What Assange felt like was a pursuit against him. If you go back to the original release of the videos and other data, it wasn't until he felt he was under fire that the "insurance" of the cables were threatened to be released. So I little sympathy for them or anyone who assists them, except that those who assist them will likely pay a high price for following the crown and Wikileaks will probably go relatively unscathed. Hmmm...sounds like terrorist groups. Send out the minions, minions get caught or die, the leaders remain untouched.
Wikileaks is guilty only of receiving the data and publishing the parts they feel are morally justifiable to make public
Not exactly. The cables were released essentially out of retaliation, not to shine the light of truth on anything. Wikileaks PR sheen came off when they went from exposing injustice to lobbing retaliatory salvos.
Coming up with new names for essentially the same technology might be a bit anachronistic. "Web 2.0" is much like "The Cloud." We tired of "World Wide Web" and "Internet" but a rose by any other name smells the same. But I digress
The point I made when this came out was that Delicious is more hip than Yahoo! as a brand. Were it not for some of their acquisitions Yahoo! might already have gone the way of the Dodo.
"which is *precisely* why direct stimulus spending on projects is better for economies than tax cuts."
Annnnddddd there went your credibility. Check please!
If you believe investing in government jobs is better for the economy than the private sector investing in itself you're too stupid to grasp basic economics. Reading Media Matters is exactly what you should be doing. You need to assuage any trace of guilt that might come from gleaning your government salary from the backs of real working Americans.
Tow the line or you're Flamebait. My advice is to prepare for the country to split or at the very least, prepare your children. Wait...this is Slashdot...Find a real girl, marry her, have some kids THEN prepare them for it.
Okay, so show us where California is severely in debt yet as solvent as Texas. (crickets) Surely Media Matters has that somewhere on their incredibly objective site.
I don't use Delicious but I got the feeling it was way more hip than Yahoo! itself. Maybe there will be a memo about Yahoo! getting rid of Yahoo! Wait...they are using Bing for search now, right?
This is so stupid. Fox doesn't even profess Obama was not born in the US. And people confuse Fox's news segments with say pundit commentary. Fox get's a much of its stories the same place everyone else does, the wire services. I recall being on a forum where someone was ranting about a Foxnews story, how bad and biased it was etc. Turns out it was an AP story posted on Foxnews. Some of those questions are clearly slanted. "72 percent believe the economy is getting worse" things like that are relative. You can come up with a pundit or someone to throw out numbers to say as a comparison to this or that the economy is up but no one in their right mind thinks the economy is in good shape. So if I, regardless of where I get me news, live in a state that is losing jobs at a higher rate than another state those figures mean nothing. My observation is that the economy is getting worse. It doesn't make me "stupid" because I'm going by what I observe. I find it interesting that most of those questions are politically charged. Ask them math questions then come see me.
I think String Theory is vital! You take the early works of Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins and move through Hendrix, Trower and later Stevie Ray and without people furthering string theory then American Idol becomes the end-all! Granted we're in a glut of String Theory progress right now but these things are cyclical. I'm confident there's another genius out there that will take strings to the next level of understanding and I for one can't wait. And as for "tiny black holes," frankly the big one behind the strumming point on the strings has always worked just fine.
What exactly are you saying about the outcome? They should have left Iran alone or that it probably did little damage? I hope it did set them back. Bombing the sites would have probably done more but no one had the guts to do it.

I thought Verizon was getting the iPhone because they were supposedly seeing slowing Android sales. Sounds like Android is doing fine.

This is stupidity. This is what happens when you give grant money to people who have entirely too much time on their hands.

"Apparently the site is hosted by a Russian company known to host malware and phishing sites. But how does this prove anything?"
No. But they say that hot chic down the street has the clap...and she's flirting with you. What could happen?

There is no "incoming Republican majority in Congress" because Republicans will only have a majority in the House. Congress = House + Senate.

All the more reason to bomb the sites. :p

It's like bashing Christianity in a song. I think it may be the very definition of "critically acclaimed."

So did you write Stuxnet or are you running LOIC? If the later might I suggest going outside. I mean just to see it.
Stuxnet Virus Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Program by 2 Years...LOIC set Mastercard back 2 hours. Advantage, Stuxnet!
I'd have had more respect had Wikileaks leaked it.
