Streched video is the new blinking 00:00. You see it everywhere. Complete horrible retards running TVs in public places, with 4:3 stretched to 16:9. And when you ask them, they did not even notice. Man, those people are either really retarded, or completely blind.
But it proves the point, that when people can do it wrong, they *will*.
It's just you, justifying your criminally wrong behavior with the criminally wrong behavior of others. (Additionally you seem to be easily influenced by group think / peer pressure.)
It's like saying that you can make something "Just OK (TM)" by imitating it.
Well, I saw a guy, who had some similarities to you, getting killed. Should I imitate him?
Well, I see the exception of disallowing some operations with 0 or infinity in them as the biggest failure of mathematics. In mathematics, you try to remove exceptions, and simplify complex sets of rules into a simple formula.
My theory is, that they miss the temporal component, and that in fact 0 and infinity are complex numbers of (0,t) and (inf,t), where t is a sequencing variable. That way you could easily divide by zero and get out infinity, but not lose any of the information, that makes their use so problematic right now. Because then (inf,t1) and (inf,t2) are not the same.
On, and the range between 0 and 1 has the same amount of numbers as that between 0 and infinity.

I always wondered, why one would implement yet another language, when one can simply use dynamic libraries or include the JIT compiler functionality of one's preferred language in it. (And then calling that module with only that as parameters, which it is allowed to have access to.)
If one needs a real sandbox, one could still run the compiled module in it, instead of creating yet another sandbox implementation.
How sad, that people nowadays still don't know about helicobacter-caused abdominal pain in babies. Maybe if their doctors were actually competent instead of simply calling it a "crying child", and torturing it with leaving them with the infection for months. It changes the whole character of the later person, to only know pain for the first months of its live.
My mother worked with biologists who found this out, 10 years before it was officially detected. They laughed at her. Well. They do not laugh anymore.
Read it up. PDF is just PostScript in an envelope. Which is a very open and stardardized printer document language. And it is text too. Although it embeds binary images, fonts and so on, too.
But you can open it with a text editor, and change stuff, just like you would do with HTML or TeX. Try it on an OpenOffice generated one, because the ocred/printed ones are often a horrible mess.
As every security expert knows, you start a set of rules by forbidding everything, and then making the smallest possible exceptions to make it run. And nothing more. This looks the other way around. So it is just as flawed as all those Internet-filters that we constantly bash here on Slashdot.
Oh well, call me backwards, but I went from web application development with JavaScript and PHP to classical software development in Haskell, with dynamic libraries an plug-ins. I felt the whole web app space to be a major case of the "inner platform effect"
I'd say I did a lot better than I deserved, all things considered.
There is your problem, according to what psychology knows nowadays. To get what you want, you first must believe it yourself. And in a way that makes even others believe it.
If we're still talking about girls: There is no "deserving" in that area. That's only what you learned to be worth. Get an own system of values. Re-evaluate what you think about stuff. And then stop putting yourself below women. You are not lower or higher in value than they are. Even the most sexy girl is just a girl. And she can have huge deficits where you shine.
Don't get girls even though you are what you are. Get them because you are what you are.
I am a programmer. I love developing complex systems and talking about advanced concepts of physics and philosophy. I would never act as if this "geekyness" were a disadvantage. No. If I talk to the most beautiful girl, she has live up to being able to think on that level. Not in a mean way! I'm only clear about what the worth of it in my reality is.
You can be born beautiful. But you have to work hard to become a great mind. (I'm still working on it. And I always will. ^^).
The Top Gear team was able to make it to the north pole in a large Jeep. And they needed way less than 3 months. They had one guy with a dog sled, and two with the Jeep. The dog sled had obviously huge deficits.
And hell, take a big tank of fuel with you, and use a helicopter. Or something else that can land vertically.
Some people just make it harder to themselves than they have to.
Nah. If they are dead, you can't hurt them anymore. Why do people always think that death is the worst punishment there is? If you're dead, you don't care about anything anymore. At all. So the punishment is the pain of being killed. And not being able to do anything anymore. At all. ^^
But the same can be done by letting them live. I say they shall live the longest life any human ever lived. But they shall also want to die more than anything or anyone else in the world. But they shall not be able to kill themselves in any way. That is what I call a hard punishment. Especially when you consider what must happen to someone that he prefers death so much.
Ok, I'm sorry for biting to that primitive way of thinking. There is only one morally acceptable "punishment": Separation. No! Not of body parts, you freaks!! ^^ Of groups of people.
No interaction in the conflicting subjects = no conflicts.
It stems from the rule that there is no other "right" or "wrong", than that which is arbitrarily defined in a group of people (which can also only contain one, or even a part of a person). So this definition is completely relative. So we have no right to punish at all.
I am very happy that I managed to completely ship around having to program in C/C++. And mostly for that horrible pointer and variable mess that it resembles. Try crashing your Haskell program that way. It will only work if you supply it with data via the foreign function interface, from... you guessed it: C.
I think we should brush Haskell a bit up so it plays nice with direct hardware access (interrupts, registers, and so on), optimize its compiler a bit more, and replace C by it. Of course this will not happen in the next 10 years. But luckily, I can program in whatever I want, and even re-implement software in Haskell, if I absolutely have to.
This is the more important question. But somehow, doctors, the phamaceutic industy, and "health" insurance companies do not care at all about it. The only thing I ever hear is "We found out how to fix this, and that.". Never "We found out how you can prevent yourself from ever getting this."
As long as the medical "science" does not concentrate on prevention, they're still stuck in the middle-ages. For example all the so-called "diseases of old-age" can be back-traced to eating bad food for decades, toxins/dangers in the environment, not processed psychological traumata, and bad genetic mutations (in contrast to good ones). Simply because this are the only causes there are.
The problem is, that most of the symptoms start a decade after the original problem started. And the other problem is, that all that industry lives on people being sick instead of being healthy. But we already know that.
In the end, when it comes to really fixing your problem, you always are on your own. Find the real cause, and remove it from your life. Bad food is 90% of that. As proven by Dr. med. M.O. Bruker in decades of treating thousands of patients. I don't know if there is a non-German version of his book(s) though.:/
No, they don't land you in jail. As my teacher said: It's not cheating that will get you an F in this test. It's getting caught. ^^ That was a very enlightening moment. After all, successful cheating means a great deal of cleverness. If it gets you where you want to be (and stay there), then it's as good as anything other. Hey, I just noticed, that this too is a way of hacking the system in an unconventional way.
Laws are only an agreement of a group of people, to ensure that you can work together. Right and wrong is always relative to a group/person. If most of that group consists of retards, then you just play their rules when they can see it, because they are stronger than you. If they can't see it, only your personal values count. But beware, that most of what you call your personal values, are in fact rules of society. You can change them. Often you find out, that when you really thing about the right and wrong of something, you end up with something different than what you thought was right or wrong since you were able to think. I just got imprinted into you. Which was Ok when you were a child. But as a grown-up, it's interesting, how many people did not develop a own set of values.
I think the click track is an abomination, symptomatic of the general micro-managing, nit-picking, perfectionist trend that's been going around in business...
There's your problem. (Emphasis mine.) It's not "having fun, making music" anymore. It' "cold hard business". When I even hear stuff like "music managers" selecting "target groups" to "monetize" their "product/resource", I'm starting to feel sick. Not that It's not Ok to earn money with your music. But it should not be your dominating factor. By far. Luckily I'm pretty sure, this will not survive P2P file sharing.;)
it's not about doing it right (the organic flow of an unclicked drum track is "right"), it's about doing it how you're "supposed" to do it.
I know what you wanted to mean, but there is no "right" in arts. If you think the sound that your $5000 synth makes when it crashes on the floor after falling from a high-rise is the perfect sound, then so be it.;) If you want to have a perfect, maybe even mechanical timing, then that is (well, at least it should be) a artist decision. Where you're definitely right (and what I think you wanted to say), is that it's not an artist decision, but a business one.
That would remind me of how Stalin always found new groups of people to send to the gulags, by widening the definition of [insert random word meaning what we nowadays call "terrorists"]. He had to, because people in the gulags were "consumed". They died so quick that the government could not get new people quick enough.
Oh. Right. Americans + sex = not funny? Really?? Stop being prude. I might really do that to a very annoying salesman. And it would be very funny, to see him running away in fear.:D
And the rest of by comment (about the PC tax) is a fact. At least I did not heat the law getting overturned.

Python is hard. Let's use Visual Basic.
I'm a little fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing.
What do you mean by "bad"?
There never ever ever is such a reason!
It's just you, justifying your criminally wrong behavior with the criminally wrong behavior of others. (Additionally you seem to be easily influenced by group think / peer pressure.)
It's like saying that you can make something "Just OK (TM)" by imitating it.
Well, I saw a guy, who had some similarities to you, getting killed. Should I imitate him?
See. Very stupid idea.
No. Not to the deployment languages. To the deployment platforms.
So you compile to the processorâ(TM)s native machine language, instead of adding yet another intermediate layer of "fail".
And if this machine happens to be a virtual machine, you can still do that. You can always compile to Java byte code. Or anything else really.
Oh, and I do not write business logic. I write game rules and world physics. Much more fun. :D

I don't understand this whole PDF thing.

Well, let's see what happens, when Hulu, Netflix and iTunes go down... or change their business model, removing your access.
