This is actually an argument for buying a wireless router and leaving it open without a password. Sure, you can be owned by your malicious neighbors, but they could also be the ones doing the torrent downloads... hmm. LOL
No, it's way simpler: changing to a new state is risky. Evolution has taught to minimize risk and avoid it. Let someone else be brave, I'll stay here in my hole.
The real problems in Africa center on two core issues: warfare, and education....The governments need to mandate that the kids are given decent educations, and they need to stop the warring factions.
Absolutely agreed. It would really help if the U.S. were as concerned about that as it is about the Taliban. If we would put real pressure on those governments through trade, diplomacy, etc., to show a sincere urgency that they stop murdering and oppressing their citizens, I think it would help. But there is no real effort in that direction, compared to say, mining their diamonds.
It wasn't just the fact that it was left in a bar. It was the fact that it was left in a bar combined with Apple's secrecy that makes it news. And I think there was a bit more than just a faster CPU involved. That doesn't matter though, as the fanboys will love it regardless and the haters like 91degrees will always seek to downplay it, and the public will just keep buying and my Apple stock will keep doubling.
The prompts actually show up at logical times. If you go to a website and 30 seconds later you are prompted that "hx4life" wants to connect to the internet, you tell it "no" because why is a random program that I did not launch suddenly asking to connect to the internet? But if I launch a new version of X11.app and it wants to connect, then I say yes because I know I just updated it. In the case of random parts of some update that want to connect without my asking, I'm going to guess they aren't doing me any favors, so if I don't know what it is, I say "no."
Apple has taken an interesting approach that at first I hated but have come to like. It's actually simpler once you get used to it. The OS keeps a database of all applications that have ever asked to open a port to listen on. If an application asks to open a port to listen on and it's not on the list, the OS prompts you to allow it. This is a more intuitive way to manage security. Definitely does not solve all issues but is an interesting approach that works pretty well.
I think you mean "intensive" not "extensive." These more in-depth maps are only being made of large cities. I hope this is not a trend, where the big cities get every toilet bowl mapped in 3D, but smaller towns are still languishing with "mere" satellite overlays.
If capitalism has no place at the sick bed, then you must be advocating the government pays all doctors and funds all research etc. I personally am not in favor of that.
To which man retorts, You can't disprove I wasn't created by an invisible pink unicorn either, so your proof is no proof. Anything you claim of your God I shall declare a property of a magic flying teapot in the sky with equal vigor.
But how much of your time is spent allocating memory? If you spend 5% of your time in malloc(), doubling its speed saves you 2.5% of your execution time.
I don't know about whether Civil War will break out, but you can certainly argue that a government that spies on its citizens and lies to them is certainly not "of, by and for the people."
Wikipedia is a great source of knowledge but its none of those - as much as they TRY to be a peer-reviewed source of information.... What they need to do is make an application process so that if you want to be an editor for a specific field, you need a Doctorate
The purpose of Wikipedia is not to provide peer-reviewed source of information, and they are not TRYING to do that. They are using a wisdom-of-the-crowds model to provide very good but not guaranteed information to as many people as possible and it is a spectacular success.
As a journalism student, a valuable skill to have is picking the notable stories
I was going to say, yes, but here it's just a small committee at one business deciding what's notable, instead of the public, but then I realized, that's probably how it's done at a newspaper too.

evolutionary value in resisting change?
Oh, definitely. Two main things: (blah, blah)

it's a rehash, a dredging up of every bad thing the anti-nuke site it is hosted on could dig up, going back to 1963.
Might be so, but what about the numerous leaks documented in the report?. What are the facts of the matter?

See my post on Apple's method -- it actually addresses your issues pretty well, maybe.

the possibilities of VERY extensive maps

Everyone always forgets about the deep anal probe!
That's because the aliens make them forget.

You're right, I've written parallel applications on the SGI's where malloc() was such a problem I rewrote it to avoid locks, I had forgotten that...

I guess what I'm saying is that it does not appear to interact with itself either, or else there would be "pressure," right?
So dark gas has no dark pressure?
I already read books while driving. Audiobooks, of course.
That depends on whom you are asking.
