Much easier to make something new and useful than to figure out how old paradigms can make money out of something new and useful.
Can we just require any new technology provide a healthy retirement community for those vested in older business structures?
Practically this might be useful in regards to crime control etc.
But really irritating for kids that are just bored going to day care/er public school,
however statistically those would be a minority.
I think there are pros and cons but discretion should be used in mass publication of any information.
What is the point in damaging international relations because somebody was called a slob?
Will the net effect be less transparency and less communication?
My career was outsourced to a woman after WWII.
Fortunately they increased their living standard and increased the size of the modern economy,
And I got a job as a programmer.
Can these emerging economies have the same effect as women entering the work force?
How can we increase their standard of living?
This really links the voter to the ballot too strongly.
Why not just print out a copy of the results.
The paper copy can be reviewed/canceled by the voter.
The voter must agree to the paper copy before submitting any vote.
The paper copy is mechanically inserted into a vote bin.(viewed but not touched by humans)
The paper votes and electronic counts should match exactly.
paper votes can be counted electronically.
If there is some bug suspected they can also be counted manually.
If there is any mechanical failure (out of ink or paper?) the vote must be redone/reprinted before it will count.
One assumption is that intelligence is the optimal survival mechanism, and if you think about it is, but you would think that way wouldn't you?
So possibilities are: we are in a 'young' universe such that we are one of the first to acquire at least tech level 2. Somebody had to be first.
Good news is it gives us a great chance to conquer the universe (all the other base), but we need to keep getting smarter and stronger somehow.
Another possibility is that anytime 2 independently evolved civilizations come into contact their microbes eat everyone alive.
committed copyright infringement, induced copyright infringement, and engaged in unfair competition
Also the isps and operating system vendors will be sued out of business.
Additionally Tim Lee, Von Newman and Alan Turing are being held on 10bln dollars bail.
It depends on how much something is used.
Typical case:
Hotshot A writes some horrendous code with the database access inside a for loop,
works for happy case 1, ship it.
Hotshot A takes another job making twice as much as real programmer B will ever see.
Programmer B has to fix all the bugs in A's code. In doing so he has to run 1000 tests which take 10 minutes a piece, {QA/customers} all the same.
Spend one hour optimizing it and the testing time is dropped to a few seconds and voila,
ROI.
Kudos to Google for making a principled stand.
But it might have been better if they had a tech coalition, Google, msft, yahoo, oracle etc to slowly peel off the censorship.
Perhaps this brash approach is the only way to make any impact.
We just need to take care that besides
the vanishing of Cash from our Society, our Society itself doesn't
disappear as well.
Maybe it helps eliminate political/business opposition but not necessarily society.
Physical bartering or alternative currencies could
suplement a 'cashless' society.
Anyway I think a tribe of non-social robots could easily be assimilated by an ideological based culture, no guns required, the women would just get bored and the men would have to follow them.
Maybe it grew on he bottom and came up to the surface after it got caught in a crab net.
I cringe at the thought of all the resultant swearing!
Possibly the truth about the 'land' bridge has finally been revealed.
Why do we have needless seats dominating the interior space of most vehicles?
Beds don't have seats. Why do cars need them?
Your clothes should have a rigid mode built into them so you can create and adjust your seat when and where you want,
or stand if you please.
This article is absurdly biased and miopic in terms of comprehending the forces at play in macro econmics, however it does raise some good questions. Having emerging modern econimies to sale our high tech goods to is necessary for our domestic growth. However The number of visas granted is too high. I attended many CS classes as the only white guy. We should only bring over top of the line people, mediocre talent (such as myself) is widely available Everywhere and only serves to reduce wages. If the situation were fair I could get a working visa to india and make a decent living, but somehow I think this would not be allowed. The people in India would be violently outraged if the situation were reveresed. A government encourages populist revolt if it favors coorporations too heavily over people. The neo-cons don't speak in a tone of populism, their language is entirely defensive and apolgetic to their masters, global coorporations. Their is deffinately balance that should be maintained here, middle class jobs need to stay abundant or people will become infuriated by their lack of self worth.
The modern nations are producing millions of wiki entries every year.
It might be a good Idea to start the worker comunes on producing wiki entries 24/7 to compete.
Surely this is the key to modernity.
"The suggestion of interbreeding was met with skepticism by paleontologists, who said they had trouble imagining a successful breeding between early human ancestors, which walked upright, and the chimpanzee ancestors, which walked on all fours."
When somebody comes up with a better search engine goog will topple quickly.
Also it would be nice for them to do more product branding for the items they are selling. ( an image of a coke bottle instead of a square blue background for an add)
The problem is an investment strategy which buys stocks which have just had a huge run-up. Maybe they could have waited a year or two for the value to stabilize.
Whatever has the biggest buzz and catches the ears of the top level managers is what will be used. Obviously java is older now and will suffer some buzzkill. I would say that I prefer working in languages that don't try to do everything for you so that you have some idea of what is going on behind the scene and don't have to learn a bunch of new buzzwords for stuff you already new. When it comes time to solve the hard debugging/performance problems you'll really need to understand it.
Slashdot Mirror
Not really. Are woman allowed on slashdot?

Where's a good Jedi when you need him?
Nubians are like giant smurfs. Could the bones have gotten the tetracycline some other way? Maybe from the local soil, or teeth of azreal.

Thus the architects devised a 100 line stack trace to light a candle.
I imagine it's no fun to inject your blood with green food coloring every day on set.
perhaps if they cranked it up or put a few more towers it would kill the nerve cells that are bothering every one.

/.ers repel women alive or dead. Maybe women smell something we can't. Perhaps there is an industrial application for woman repellent?
