Canada aint perfect, with their evil, criminal financial bankers, doing short sells on stocks.
Doing things that are 100% illegal in the usa, as told by FSN on financialsense.com
Canadian Bankers are CRIMINALS. Shorting stocks, then making money for no effort.
I just dont see how someone who shuffles a few numbers in a spread sheet deserves millions in profits, yet farmers who really do support people with food that keep them alive, get small tiny profits.
So if you over populate a planet, cut down forests, grow more food, what happens?
You will change rain fall patterns, the mountains might still be as cold, but get less rain, thus the glaciers shrink, its still cold tho. They always melted, but the huge amount of new snow kept it balanced.
So yes, the planet is warming, but its the cause thats iffy I think, is it 100% co2 based? doubt it, its not that powerful, and I bet the rain fall pattern change is a bigger factor. Its nice to blame peoples consumptions, but if we say, hey it doesnt matter how green we live, its the fact of this many people thats the problem, then the current people wont bother to live green.
An orderly decline in populations is needed, 1 child policy, which will be massively bad for economies, but thats better than 50% of the population starving to death in a 12 month period. Mr Economist - take note, you cannot increase perpetually the population growth, learn some physics. Even nature knows this, if stars get too big they supernova.
I say for all the faults of the last 30 yrs, put all the govt people over 60yo into a giant blender, turn on high, add some sugar, and milk and strawberries, then Gordan Ramsey can say, "Shit, this still tastes like shit, it will never taste good, into the bin"
One message to all old rich pricks, your RICH, give up, retire, enjoy your viagra, and disapear!!!! I know your wifes are ugly, but jeez, find a 20yo hooker, because thats all you will enjoy.
Pass the torch you fuckers, retire, get a heart attach, because as Gordan says, you are useless shit, fricking die already you sods.
Now if only you could make an electronic drug, you would corner the market, and it wouldnt be illegal. And if it would be, make it open sourced, it would rock.
oh so over the last 15 years populations have increased and you claim demand isnt rising? more poor people are getting more money and thus eating more pricy food such as meats, and perhaps more breads.
And then there are the dickheads who promote ethanol and grow lots of corn (not the same corn you eat) to make fuel, which costs more in water+ferts+oil than what it actually makes, its a negative sum result, its stupid. You environmentalists are utter failures in maths.
Now lots of countries are stopping exports of foods because they want to secure internal supplies. Add in a few natural disasters like cyclones in burma, and earthquakes in china, and new volcanos, and you start getting more mass crop failures, and surges in demand.
If possible more people should grow local coop grows. Instead of fancy gardens or roof tops with concrete floors.
does it really take much effort to scan two arrays of 64 bytes each? how accurate were the screens , if they werent that accurate then if the matrix was 64x64 area hits, then its no effort to scan that. and I do think you just need to two axis arrays. Werent the original touchs done that way by using a xy grid of detectors. As long as the hardware worked fast every 60ms, and the DOS code checked the array at that frequency too via interrupts or timers. Or did people use pascal and thats why it was slow?
how many solutions require weird code ? etc... very few, unless youre writing drivers or OS utils , most things are as per usual, and could be done ion.net or cygwin, or vbasic, or even perl.
Win32 aint hard, its easy, even to make a game.... read the docs , do the code, if it all fails, read the docs again, and do higher level work arounds, not low level hacks, or try to work out some simple solutions, KISS.
at the end of the day, if your crap code made you millions who cares, the guy who is coding slowly and documenting everything in fine detail is still working on his alpha build while ms posts they v2 release.
Sure its half assed, buggy, cheaply implemented, but the public wants this shit fast.
You are there to make the business money, else you might as well work for education institutions or writing 8 year out of date lectures.
Sure design is important, but you dont need to go too deep and design for a 15 year life span. Most marriages dont last that long and who plans their relationships like a designer ?
All your points are solved by software, split rars are a hack on deficient protocols or routers that limit BW per tcp connection.
Oh and, what is it with these stupid long ass crap file names, S05E03-XDVD-HPEP-LOL-FUKME.avi
This is not 1972 cobol days dudes, if its unlikely to be a hit like friends, stick to one digit to seasons, S3, E03 is ok. Kill the lame postfix acronyms, except sensible ones not in caps as they take more pixel, (dvd) or (ts) is smaller.
As gordan ramsey says, "you guys a fuking tossers, your a shit head".
TvShowName-S4ep23.avi is nicer, i always rename because they are TOO DAMN long on HTPC systems. Again, this aint 1200bps modem days. (they werent this bad btw)
Oh and another pet peve of mine to your so called elites, stop resizing 720 rips or tv shows to 604 or 624, if its done only to compress better, or to play on PSP, then why should 90% suffer, 720 original is best on 42in LCDs. Stop resizing because you own a crap 12in crt. Or want to watch tv shows in a psp, cartoons are ok, but not good tv shows. Dont give me this 624 is ntsc in usa shit, only trailer trash own CRTs. If you can afford to download, you own an LCD. If you own a shit tv, well you'll get a better quality any way. Again, read my lips, 624 or 608 sucks 1980s style.
The day we get 2ghz 128 cores in a tiny usb stick for $40, will be the day we program in flow chart/gui thingos. Just like stargate, have a rack full of usb3 slots, and 2inch long crystal shaped usb sticks with crystal CPUs at 128 to 4096 core cpus, just plug in live and bingo new speed ups in real time.
Maybe computers will be just a skeleton, IO back plane with ports/plugs/sockets, no cpus, no ram, everything is plugin and go, ala HAL 2001 4x10 matrix of usb slots, 2x10 matrix of microSD slots, 5x hdmi sockets, 10 optical sockets.
Its funny how in the late 90s or 2000, all these big boys Gartner Research etc.. were saying the web/proxy/nameu4server analytics were a $50billion market.
Who ever trusts these 27yo analyst's who were in baby rockers when us elite coders were hard at work hacking the vic-20s.
Yes log files are dead, even tho our app did process faster than anything, 3-5m lines per second on todays fast PCs (random benchmark spec, take your pick)
Who knows maybe someone will make a analytics engine language in a few years anal++ ? analql? But in the mean time, these high price search engine optimization companies have little life left in them... go google or yahoo! take over the world!, (because investors & managers outside the usa have no clue to do the same)
Can windows just KILL C: finally? and map all C: calls to users profile dir but with full perm? Bingo its secure because the REAL C: is/drive0/ or something...
MS's biggest problem is bloat entirely because they always keep changing directions, always keep making mistakes, always keep inventing new APIs frameworks because the old one is too crap or not future proof. They always say, "ok we made a boo boo, heres a totally new funky api" so now we have an OS with 100s of APIs and versions of the same library, often running at the same time. What they should do is expire any hacks/apis that try to do workarounds to make >6yo stuff work. They try too hard to make everything work from win2.0 days. Stick to a simple api thats expandable, and dont keep making new layers or hacked versions. Its like having 94 libcs or 12 Gtks.
Maybe if more people wrote static lib exes, we wouldnt have this problem, whats the point of OO if it never works and you need 34 copies of the same lib?
This is because in a dark room, or at night the screen is bright white like the sun, and the rest of the room/desk is dark, the wide field of vision is very contrasting and thats what i hate and also the fact that it lights up the room like an alien landing.
I wish more websites or at least firefox offered a 'inverse view' or reverse white/black in all objects. Maybe they should also offer a colour blind option too so that it can mod the hue.
Comon slashdot, give us a retro green on black techy matrix view.
Just make a variant of firefox thats 100% SAFE for porn, call it HotFOX.
Safe JS, no java, sandboxed flash, no popups windows under any circumstances, (how hard is that really, come on firefox)
Any downloaded.exe via a stupid user is immediately saved as a.zip converted file, with a simple password so it cannot be accidental.
Oh and thats a note to all software vendors, stop placing.EXEs on the web idiots. Stop pandering to dumb prix. It just feeds the.exe is ok syndrome.
That goes to many Sourceforge projects that make win32 builds with a.exe download, IDIOTI!!
Infact go one step further, ISPs should transparently convert all.exe downloads to.zip, oh and scan them first then do a permanent firewall block.
Fucked up govt pays millions to NSA to monitor users, but do they add any built in protection from virii traffic? no.
So if you work for the govt, or are an NSA agent or some big wig, the onus is on you, get a clue do something that benefits society, not your paypacket and your wifes hand bags.
Is dell really that much faster than walking in a large shop supplier, making your order, paying and getting a box in 15mins?
Maybe its because its lazy and easy to get hardware from one supplier, but then again the contracts state that ram+hd upgrades also be done by DELL, at 3x the retail price of those parts ofcourse.

Done.
it shows 99% of this comment, and a read more link, which only shows 1 line more. Surely the code would be better to say
if the more section is 3 lines long, then show the whole comment, even if its above its limit size.

It still sucks that this app is black text on white background.
Either let us choose colours, like every terminal app did in 1988 on BBS's (fucking store all the colours in an xml and STFU)
Or make two options, light on black mode, or dark on white mode.
White BG sucks, and is so 1999.

As long as all your code fits in the chip who cares what it creates, most of the time it really doesnt matter.
And these days, embedded devices are way more capable than 10 years ago, ram is cheaper than water too.
And if they start making $1 java chips then.... who knows what will happen then.
Eventually, we will get 300mhz java chips for $1 , like we now get dualcore 1.6ghz E1200s for $50

Is it so hard to develop two style sheets for day/night viewing as an option and use the pc local time to decide to choose which one????
Comon slashdot, everyone knows white is so fortune 500, go elite hacker style, and go green on black ,this white look is so yr2000.
Every frickin website is white background, it sucks. Its TOO COMON and main stream. ie LAME
Is startrek white, no its black, so they had the elite style years before the internet as usual they were decades ahead of time.
The white look is 100% corporate, not cool.
This is because in a dark room, or at night the screen is bright white like the sun, and the rest of the room/desk is dark, the wide field of vision is very contrasting and thats what i hate and also the fact that it lights up the room like an alien landing.

All great companies ever created were created by engineers and run by engineers.
Many great companies have been driven to destruction by control freak managers with zero ability to know technology.
Not to say that there arent control freak engineers out there making mistakes, but they at least create something aswell, not just create lies.
For crying out loud.
Is any company that cheap that they cannot afford a $500 PC to run PS on?
Even home made $500 PCs 4gig ram + cheap MB + core2 2.6 is going to run damn fast today for under $500.
So realy, adobe should up the price of CS4 by $500, and include a free PC with it. Call it a complete editing workstation solution for $2000.
