some systems don't have a place to attach the f'ing wire any more. this is called progress, why have your comm confined when you could be sharing bandwidth and spewing your comm to potential snoopers
no it won't, it is not a business language (lacking the needed libraries). It is hilarious to watch the data scientists make decades old newbie errors importing business data from java systems into python based analysis
Grace was technical consultant to that committee of six. Anyway, it's clear from looking at grammar of Grace's FLOW-MATIC that COBOL design was influenced by it.
Indeed, I'd say Dell's HR head made a stupid and ignorant statement. Engineering including R&D, and part of customer contact for sales certainly can be done remotely, at my employer we've had videoconferencing demos by sales engineers of things we've later purchased. Engineering done by subcontractors who mostly work remotely is very common, so QED on that too.
I think we should wind up the HARP tin foil hatters and tell them this is the new nano-tech version of HARP. It will cause extreme weather, autism in babies, lower sperm count in unwanted minorities, and mad cow to euthanize seniors.
nonsense, China needs the U.S. market, their economy is already in trouble.
Besides, it doesn't matter what the U.S. does, right now China is the big emitter not the USA. History and total load are meaningless to bring up, that can't be changed.
I have scientific basis to say they may not possibly be digital, as all extant self-aware systems are decidedly analog. Not even conscious effort on the part of an analog self-aware system to make a digital one has born any effort in the last 80 years.
why do subsidies exist indeed? if a technology can't make it in the market on its own merits it is not ready for prime time. Subsidies are a curse on the taxpayer that benefit a privileged few
oh america is guilty of a lot of things, but fossil fuel use has driven human progress, lengthened human lifespan and quality of life, and made most our technology possible. We can transition over to other energy sources without artificial penalties and crippling our own economic interests.
China is the biggest emitter now, far outweighing the USA. It doesn't even matter what the USA does in view of the horrendous carbon emissions of China. Soon India will become the number two emitter.
This article is trying typical "green religious nut" tactic, trying to instill guilt where there need be none.
I have no problem agreeing life is "just chemistry" (and physics). Consciousness is in that realm too. What is ridiculous is our fantasy that a purely digital system could have self-awareness. Biological neural networks are not digital.
We don't need more coders. We lack in the basics of reading, writing, speaking, civics, knowledge of history, science and math. Build a foundation first.
False, Animals might live to their maximum natural lifespan under such conditions, and some do it without being in such an environment. For example, a cow can live to almost 50 years and some have when well cared for, but there has never been a 100 year old cow, in or out of a disease free environment. Nor is it possible to have a 100 year old cow. Humans might live to near 125 year if no fatal or damaging disease contracted, but systems in the body wear out and fail anyway.
You are the one who needs to sober up, the place has tunnels to it. How convenient for rodents who burrow in permafrost and moreover whose waste and corpses melt even more than what they themselves dig.
If life did not arise here, then the problem is far, far harder to study and that is reality. Plenty of credible scientists are open to the possibility at least life did not arise on Earth. The increased difficulty of studying origins in that scenario is not an argument against it, you are being illogical.
Of course the idea of panspermia is old, more ancient then you know.
But what if life or RNA precursors did some to Earth in the past, say on a meteor or whatever, and it was spread that way by some intelligence somewhere? Is that point of view impossible?
You're confused, "copyright" is merely a creation of politicians. You speak of "rights' that are not implicit, they are just recent creations of politician's minds. Again, this is not theft, nothing is stolen. You don't know right from wrong, you imagine the "law" is right. It was legal to stuff Jews into railroad cars to take them to concentration camps, for example.

your are correct, these morons used a group of suicidal patients for their case study and now are claiming great success.
proofs are possible in liquor, the highest in the hard stuff. My one counter-example destroys your assertion.
actually, they held back progress for centuries, besides the mass murder and maiming of "heretics" and the genocides etc.
not impressed with your Roman Catholic church, bigger blight on humanity than the Nazis and with bigger body count
not insightful at all.
religious universities were and are a cancer on mankind, as are most the major religions including your monks and royalty.
It is not the purpose of a modern college to teach morality.

eh, exactly what visual things do you imagine? I don't visualize anything when coding.

Go take a few breaths of water and tell us if it is a pollutant.
Oh, you're a moron, aren't you?

The access tunnels go through tens of meters of ground, the rodents have a head start.
You spew without researching facts, that is the need for education.

It would eliminate most of them, and it would be good.
Human's can't live to be 200, by the way. The limit is less than 125 years.
yes yes, I agree with you.
