Hear Hear. We actually downgraded to our old DirecTV Tivo-branded RCA box from 2005 after trying and utterly hating 1) a Comcast Motorola DVR and 2) DirecTV's "latest and greatest." We got grandfathered in after Tivo and DirecTV parted ways in 2006 or thereabouts, so we don't have to pay a separate charge for Tivo's service. They've since come to their senses and are supposedly coming out with new co-branded hardware in 2010, but that sure feels like a long way off.
No, but it might help one to understand the history and development of certain highly influential normative behavioral frameworks (e.g. virtue ethics) which inform the ways in which actual people live their lives and thus affect the lives of others. For example, pride for Aristotle was a virtue to the extent that the ongoing achievement of excellence should justifiably make one feel proud, and he distinguished this from hubris, which is an unjustified feeling of pride which depends more on denigrating others than on developing one's own capacities. Add to this the Thomsian virtue of humility, and your post becomes a clear example of...well, you get the idea. I hope.
Only on TV and radio... and in magazines... and movies, and at ballgames, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written in the sky. But not in dreams, no sirree.
So waitaminute...by Aiken's logic, wouldn't screen readers and other accessibility tools fall under this category as well? That's a losing battle if ever I've seen one...urm, heard one.
And what's amazing, and completely against capitalism, none of these web browser makers are charging any money for their products!
Eh, not so much. Producers charging whatever they want for their products is completely consistent with 'capitalism', even if they choose to charge nothing. That freedom is a fairly critical feature of any reasonably 'free' market.
That's gotta be evidence that capitalism isn't the be all and end all...
Well, sure, but we already knew that. What we call 'capitalism' is an evolving set of approaches to economic theory, sort of like 'democracy' is to political theory or 'jazz' is to music theory...none of these are the be all end all, because human activity is far more complex than the models we construct to describe, predict, and improve it.
To put it bluntly, Android has a multitude of possible channels for the distribution of apps. The iPhone does not. This functionality is built right into Android and isnâ(TM)t the weekend project of some particularly clever hacker. Furthermore, keep in mind that this kill switch will only affect apps distributed through the Market, not those installed from the Web. This should make Googleâ(TM)s intentions very clear.
I can say that there is definitely something to this. I am the oldest in a family with 3 male children, two of whom, my younger brothers, are dizygotic (fraternal) twins. One of them is 450 pounds, has never had a problem with drugs or alcohol, is diagnosed with a form of schizoaffective disorder --they say his executive functions are broken, meaning that he has trouble putting things together as well as learning from his mistakes-- and is currently living on social security disability. My other brother has had numerous problems with drugs and alcohol, yet does not suffer from schizoaffective disorder, looks like a rail-thin anime character and is currently finishing up his undergraduate degree. Our mother is schizoaffective but stable on meds, and both our parents met as high-functioning graduate students at Stanford. As for me (and in reference to TFA) I was considered the "mellow" baby but am probably the most teflon-like of the three. The point, of course, is that although we all grew up with almost the exact same parenting --right down to breastfeeding, fireside chats and access to the best psychiatric resources-- all three of us turned out quite differently.
Incidentally, about a year and a half ago my family was asked to participate in a medical study at Baylor looking for genetic links between schizoaffective disorders, drug/alcohol addiction and (oddly) the presence of involuntary eye movements which show up to varying degrees when people track moving objects...apparently, when a police officer stops you on the highway and asks you to follow his pen from side to side, he's not looking to see if you can actually follow the pen; he's looking for these little eye flutters at the periphery of your vision which become more noticeable under the influence of alcohol. From what I know, the study was designed to see if paying attention to these eye flutters might eventually allow doctors to prescribe medication more quickly and effectively for both addictive and schizoaffective disorders. The study still has a few years left, but we'll see what comes up.
I also found the movie to be a major disappointment, from the aliens who looked like steam-cleaned Pillsbury doughboys to the deeply stupid virus Bender spends most of the movie being infected with to the tedious, oh so painfully tedious sexual tension between Fry and Leela. I, too, am a huge Futurama fan.
Agreed. In fact, we just swapped out a brand new DirecTV DVR Plus for our 2-year-old DirecTV Tivo because we were so sick of the unresponsive interface, counterintuitive navigational structure and flaky-as-hell prioritizer of the new DVR, among other complaints. We also tried one of Comcast's Motorola DVRs for about 6 months and were similarly unimpressed. I'm not sure what we'll do once our old Tivo bites the dust, but my guess is that we'll end up sucking it up and subscribing to some version of the "real" Tivo service...the alternatives just aren't cutting it.
So is this more or less the same as a SawStop? I admit that their video documenting an attempt to saw a hot dog in half is pretty cool, although each use of the safety feature requires a new 40.00 cartridge. Worth a finger, sure, but I wonder how easily they're set off.
Yeah, my eyes glazed similarly, but then it occurred to me that so long as there's someone with a big honking imaging device collecting data about brain states, the form of whatever external stimulus they choose to use doesn't matter so much. One doesn't need to be a fan of transcendental meditation to demonstrate that its practice causes physical changes in the brain, nor to record and draw certain, albeit tenative conclusions from said data. I'm not sure if these folks are actually doing that or just conducting a poll of their volunteers, but the mere presence of hypnosis in a scientific setting doesn't necessarily mean that the experiment is without merit. A red flag, sure, but nothing more.
"Right now, copper is sending a message that is being transmitted by plenty of other data, but that many analysts find difficult to digest: Despite all the tensions, despite the huge imbalances in trade and capital flows, despite all the world's apparent economic troubles, the global economy continues to grow at a steady and impressive pace."
The summary mentions that the mice were anesthetized first. If the mice had fully conscious during the experiment it would probably have been a different story.
"In the original Star Trek, Captain Kirk was all that is man. He'd tear his shirt off and fight a lizard monster from a space couch covered in green alien sluts. In Turkish Star Trek, reverse all of that. The movie starts with Kaptan Kirk practically prancing over to his chair to sit down cross-legged and daintily lisp out orders...."
At my most stupidest hour, I rose to the challenge

10 Computer Mishaps

· Score: 2, Funny
I used to habitually keep my machine's case open to allow for easy access. Aside from having to blow the thing out a bit more frequently this never really posed a problem, until I came home one night, drunk. As I lurched into bed, I noticed a very loud, irregular buzzing sound. My CPU fan had started to flake out over the past week and I hadn't yet found time to replace it, but again, no problem-- all I had to do was lightly thwock the side of the heat sink to get it to shut up, at least for long enough to allow me to pass out in peace. I staggered up, weaved my way over to my desk, then jabbed my finger in the general direction of the heat sink.
Here's what happened:
1. My finger went directly into the spinning CPU fan, causing one of the blades to break off and fly directly into...
2. My forehead, causing me to windmill my way backwards onto...
3. My ass, where I noticed with relief that the annoying buzzing sound had stopped, because...
4. The fan was no longer spinning. Of course, it took me a couple of seconds to realize that...
5. Oh shit! I have to turn everything off before...
6. My monitor goes bright blue as my motherboard decides to shut itself down rather than allow the CPU to melt itself into a small pool on the bottom of my case.
With spyware spreading so rapidly, nearly four users in ten say they feel less secure operating their computers today than a year ago.
Huh. A year ago Dell's official line on spyware was that it wasn't their problem, thank you. It's amazing what a difference 40 bucks can make.

In any case, competition is indeed good.
