In what sense is a perfectly factual statement that bush has doubled the debt and this can lead to a depression bush bashing? It would be true of any president.
Among other things the great depression was triggered by an excess of debt. Large amount of debt makes interest rates rise, stifles borrowing by industry. large amounts of debt face a risk of not being extended triggering a crash in values from forced sales. E.g. the bubble. This can and always has resulted in a depression in every country it has occured in a large enough manner. so yes it is very well rooted in economic theory.
you call someone a retard then cite not one ecomonic element to back your case. You are the retard
Many of the great tables were compiled during the depression era. Public works projects. like our bridges and trail systems we live on that legacy and dont appreciate it was aone-off event.
Well I take that back, George Bush has scheduled the next Depression in about 8 years. See you there in the computer room or the breadline. Your current skills will be worthless during the depression.
Dont believe me? the national debt had doubled under George. For the current generation that's a debt of about $150,000 per head.
What you post is the 2005 law. What was posted above was the 2003 law. Clearly they amended the law. Still the point is well taken, people convicted of sex offences on utah prior to 2005 might well be public urinators and have to registered sex offenders in any state they live in.
(d) "Sex offender" means any person convicted by this state or who enters a plea in abeyance for violating Section 76-7-102, 76-9-702.5, 76-5a-3, 76-10-1306, or 76-5-301.1
and all of those are for lewd behaviour that specifically includes public urination, streaking, and mooning.
"The study found that people charged with crimes such as public urination, flashing, consensual sex between teenagers, possession of child pornography and adult prostitution are all classified as sex offenders in some states."
"Plaistow Deputy Chief Kathleen Jones also said that not every person on the sex offender list has necessarily committed an egregious crime such as rape or molestation because a conviction of indecent exposure, even in cases such as public urination, can land someone on the list." Link
"According to Michigan State Police Sgt. Troy Fellows, urinating in public is classified as indecent exposure, and requires sex offender registration after three convictions...[And] Judges [can] to order registration after any number of convictions..."
His message is a valid concern not just for himself but for everyone. The fact that he runs a company getting his revenues form it does not invalidate the message, indeed it might qualify his as an expert, but of course one needs to think skeptically in such circumstances.
The idea that capitalism or money taints the process is a bit childishly applied here. Yes money is the root of evil but it is often the mechanism we use to do good. in this case its the method we arbitrage crying public need--free content.
Free content is a public good that we pay for with ads. people who refuse the ads but not the content are free-riding.
Dont well off people who dont pay their subway fairs bother you? Thsoe same people probably complain about the dirt in the subway not realizing where the money to clean it up comes from. They probably moralize that the whole place is such a mess they dont want to support it or some shit.
Well one solution woul dbe balring in your face ads posted all over the subway, with perhaps loud informercials blasted into the cars. then every one could ride for free. Or they can pay. but either way you cant have a free subway without paying for it somehow either by ads or by money.
So accept the ads as a valid bussiness model and realize if your peers block them the days of free content are numbered. I mean who the heck would run a free blog site for people to freely express their views without some sort of way to pay the bills. It's your loss.
No these idiots were completely hacked. The only thing they know for certain is that the files they were illegitimately retaining were unprotected and thus vulnerable duing the break in. But someone who could compromise them that badly might very well have been intercepting all the transactions they did not retain. Since these folks think vb scripts are good protection they are probably clueless about security and assessing intrusion.
Quothe Bill Gates "longhorn draws the noose tighter" Who smiled as he rode on a Tiger They returned from the ride with intel inside and the smile on the face of the Tiger.
I also seriously doubt the first version of OSX for intel is free of serious security holes. If people who use the leaked version are doing so for that reason they are mistaken.
First to answer the question. I doubt its their strategy. First because it's almost certainly filled with debugging code, is not optimized and is thus not going to benchmark att that hot. Second even if they wanted to it's probably loaded with other people's IP, like rosetta, that they cant just give out.
Not to mention that their $999 lease is not much of an obstacle for serious developers. Apple does not need new Killer apps to seed the desire to purchase new apples. So such a broad based seeding of the OS does them little good in that respect.
Now to answer cringley's question. "Why would they pre-announce the swtich a year ahead if it is so easy to port apps". People fret they will "osbourne" themselves when current apple users hold off purchasing a new apple waiting for the intel ones.
I suspect that an equally large effect may work the opposite direction. There 10 times as many high-end PC people out there that are about to upgrade their machines and may start to think. Hmmmm this new apple hardware might run windows, maybe I'll put off buying my next Dell-shitbox machine and see what apple rolls out. So this way by pre-announcing they cant get that meme going for a year. Thought's like that lead over the course of a year to the thought of maybe trying out OSX while they are at it.
And of course there's the developers that need to be stroked. gotta give them a year's notice. and apple has the cash reserves to suck-up the osbourne effect.
Interestingly, perl has exactly the same concept of an object as python. Exactly, 100% isomorphic. Python just hides it in syntactic sugar. Perl 6 and ruby now hide it to. But underneath all objects are containers like a hash or array that hold the attribute names, and know where there namespace methods are located.
In perl an object is normally a hash that know the name of the file it was declared in (the Bless operation installs the name of the current package/file into the meta data of the hash variable. ) Now it's easy. all attributes for the object are just the key values of the hash. Whereas in C++ or pyhton you might write: x.a in perl this is $x->{a} That is, to get the attributes value just look it up in the hash using the attributes name as the key. Pyhton is doing exactly the same thing under the hood.
Methods are accessed using that package/filename one squireled away when the object was created or "blessed".
so if I wanted to assess a method (e.g. x.meth() in python) in perl I write: $x->meth() perl just goes the right file or package and finds a method by the name meth(). under the hood it's actually looking for a method named: PACKAGE_NAME::meth() so that you can have the same name meth() in different packages.
Finally inheritance is dead simple. You have a list of other package names. any method not resolved in the current package is searched for in all the packages in the list (in order) till it is found. (this also means an object could in principle, re-write its own inheritance hieracrhy if one could think of a good reason to do so).
Ruby and perl 6 hide away all those dereferencing arrow -> and braces and make it look like python. deep down its essentially the same.
There's two strikes against seti. First in the breif time since marconi and hertz radiated narrow band radiation we have gone increasingly closer to nearly random signals spanning most ogthe sprectum like white noise. As this has happended powers of indivdual transmitters are dropping, broadcasting is going to either digital spread spectrum or cable. It wont be possible to detect this eventually. The best chance at the present time would probbaly be the 24 hour modulation of the earth's rotation but would any listener interpret that correctly?
Then of course there's the Sagan hypothesis that itellegant life has such a narrow time fram of existence before anihilating itself that either you dont overlap in time with you interplanetary peers or if you do they'll be dead by the time you manage to travel there.
Could someone compare and contrast it to perl

Why not just use DOS or mac OS 8.
Seriously. For instrument control you want your program running and screw everything else. Modern OS are the bane of instrument control, even so-called RT systems. They just seem to go out to lunch every now and then.
Basically your case could be construed as proving the opposite point you seek to make. Intelligence is not just some intinsic quantity independent of the indivuals ability to summon it. In fact intelligence is measured by its expression. If you choke on an IQ examine you are infact not intelligent. Or at least have a damaged form of intellegence that can be summoned when it might be particuarly useful--under stress.
to make an analogy, imagine you were fastest runner in your tribe except when stressed by a tiger chasing you. You and your kind would soon berelegated to the tiger poop heap of failed genetic experiments.
To answer your question you have to understand the thread of the argument.
it goes like this. In medieval times jews were not allowed to own land, grow crops, or compete in the labor force. Thus you starved to death and could not support a family unless you are able to work in a management job or as an advisor. In some places, handling loans was considered un-christian and this was relegated to jews. So in other words there was a huge premium of basic survival for above well above average intelligence (that is most people are laborers so to be a manager chosen based on merit--since people did not particularly like jews--you had to have added value not just seniority to be manager.)
Thus we have an extraordinary selective pressure for intelligence. But this arose over a very short time on human reproductive cycles so nature could not be too selective about picking the best solution from a longevity standpoint. Of course, long term diseases like cancer dont affect reproductive success either. So the Jews got a gene that confers intelligence at the expence of people getting teo of these genes dieing off. Not a bad trade from a speicies point of view. Not so good for 1/4 of the individuals in a gene rich population.
So you can now see that Palestinian semetics were not subject to this selective pressure precisely because they were not jeweish. Its not the semetic heritage but the jewish religion that was persecuted.
Okay nice theory but are there other explanations. Perhaps the disease conferred a genetic advantage to some dread disease like say plague. Well first no such disease has been identified. But more significantly, jews were not an isolated population they were integrated into the general population. Therefore the selective pressure of a pathogen would have affected the general population just as much as the jews.
Okay then what about a founders effect, wherein a population is winnowed down to a few individuals creating a genetic bottleneck in which defects of those individuals are carried into the general population even if they have no benefit. They argue there is no basis for this in the genetic record.
The selective pressure that differentiated jews from anyone else was cultural.
at some point someome is going to write a mac osx emulator, well not an emulator but the equvalent of WINE for OSX. At this point the flood gates open. All the great apple apps and even the OS itself will run on cheap intel machines.
the positive side is more people will be using apple apps but the negativre side is fewer will be paying for hardware.
of course there is a debate whether piracy helps or hurts the growth and ubiquity of Windows.
But In this case i see it as a tearing down of quality. Apple products are synomynous with seemless hardware integration and elegant just-works software. A wine patch-job running on walmart hardware is going to lose both of these intangibles. It will still have all the same specs but the apple experience will be gone. It will degrade the brand image.
But in the mean time all of these applications will suddenly be available on Linux (and probably windows too). So suddenly high grade apps will be working on linux. this will I think spur linux developers to match that level of quality and bring about a renaisance in linux. The availabilty of the apple apps also finally push the quality of the linux desktop experience into the mainstream. Too bad apple may die as a result.
yes good question--that it the problem in my argument. I suspect that they could get away with emulation on laptops and use a pentium x86. There are many metrics about what makes a good laptop and as long as the speed does not suck it's not neccessarily to critical factor. Its the desk tops where speed is king and you want to avoid emulation.
I just find it hard to beleive they would go to an X86 when they could take advantage of their hardware and software combined strenghts and leapfrog the x86.

Things that can get you on a registered sexual offender list:
public urination, exhibitionism, nudism, streaking, flashing, mooning, outdoor consensual sex, lewd behaviour.
