Why do we constantly have this mission from some groups to force 50-50 on everything? Why is it that we have to take natural patterns out and force things on people. So now what, if a girl wants to study CS they make it free to encourage more girls to do it? Who cares who studies it! Race and sex don't matter!
Exactly. Sounds like some kind of communist centrally planned educational system to me.
Unfortunately, it took me a lot of flame wars on alt.html before I realized this. Now, I pay more attention to GUI development guidelines than HTML development guidelines.
Human space travel just seems to, well, pointless. It takes years to travel anywhere interesting. Conditions in the rest of the solar system are inhospitable. It takes billions of dollars. You can point to all the technical innovations that the space race spawned, but I believe for most people there is no longer a perceived benefit for spending money on space exploration. There are more interesting problems here that need solving. I would rather have robotic slaves, virtual reality and cybernetic implants than a base on Mars.
I say, let private enterprise fill the gap - that way people are spending money where they personally see fit, as is their perogative. If there is no interest, then let it die.
You know what killed the Amiga? VGA. As soon as VGA came about I got graphics envy and it was only a matter of time before I switched. 32 colors was just not enough.
On a deeper level, I suppose its closed hardware design was the cause of its demise.
yes, and if the Mac ever gets more popular (ie gets more former Windows users).. applications will be able to get away with being Windows-like. On second thought, perhaps more Windows-like applications are what the Mac really needs.

Just a Phone?

The time to get a phone number from my old Nokia via any method (ie Recieved Calls, phone book, etc.) was much faster than on my current phone, a v220. An endless source of annoyance.
1. The designs on that site have exactly _what_ to do with electronic game consoles, or any functionally complex device whatsoever? Where's the next generation washing machine design? Is a functionally complex device even the proper medium for artistic expression?
2. Not applicable to a mass market, regardless.
Windows is surprisingly resilient in terms of running as vital system files are deleted from underneath it
I remember a system tuner utility that came with my previous video card that allowed me to cache Windows in memory. Presumably you could then delete just about everything.
Calling something disastrous "a train wreck" is a long-established idiom that isn't going to just go away because a train wrecks. And frankly, I think calling it "an unfortunate choice of words" is just a big, steaming load of language-police bull crap.
you're right. I propose we call it a airplane crashing into a building.. er. tsunami.. er..
10 developers for a year or 2 developers for 100 years? The second is far more likely to have lasting positive effects
Except the reality is that Debian has lost momentum. Those 10 developers for a year may be able to put it back in a leadership position, thereby increasing donations.
Seriously. When the state is "marrying" people, you don't get to dictate based on religious beliefs who is and isn't allowed to do it just because it isn't what your god intended. Sorry.
When they are the democratic majority, they certainly do.
Slashdot Mirror
Not only that - the most obvious name for actual java scripting technology was taken.
And the slovenly will inherit the earth. I like the sound of that.
Just by leaving meat in your fridge for long enough..
Perhaps it's because all the Python folks have more spare time from programming in a more productive language.

Perhaps they should put that Monty Python foot icon beside all of his articles.
in other words, you choose your tools because of political reasons, and not because it's the right tool for the job. nice.
But will it remain the right tool for the job in the future, due to those aforementioned political reasons?

Why not just send a bunch of people up who already have cancer? I'm sure they wouldn't care.

I agree 100% - I never have and never will watch a movie on my computer.
