There is sender intended and receiver assumed rudeness. The latter is rude on the part of the receiver and the worst of the two as the reader mostly cannot be bothered to verify.
It happens a lot even here on/. where you'd think nerds would read carefully and assume mirth and joviality.
Where I live you never see a racing or a mountain biker without a helmet. At speed they make absolute sense. When speeding I wear them but for short urban trips I don't.
The thing is that once your condition -and hence also the speed- augments you almost automatically get more interested and you will eventually start wearing one. So no, I don't think we should assess this issue in society as it is a self regulating one.
I also see a parallel with cyclist roads. Either have proper good cyclist roads where you can get up to and maintain speed or get away with them altogether. These rods lull you in a false sense of security an comfort. The consequence of cyclist roads is that motorists loose attention for bikes. Also, switching from one cyclist road to another is awkward and will cause accidents at speed.
In short, only regulate things that cause unacceptable risk to society. (E.g. a car insurance obligation protects society against people that would never be able to cover damages caused.)
I welcome this. Nokia makes this move to survive and to capture market share. The worst case result will be that other competitors will also improve. Nokia isn't in the position to be evil and so the good/evil discussions are pretty much moot for the time being.
No offense intended. But do you watch all breaking news containing chases? It's at least the impression I get over here in the EU. Loud narrators commenting on some trivial incident. This man who put the gun to his head is quite tragic but the event as a whole is likely to be trivial compared to news items that affect more people. Not criticizing you personally, but have you been conditioned to watch this genre which is produced cheaply? Wouldn't you rather watch a program where people have gone the extra mile to produce valuable content? Without or with minimal commercial breaks? Like BBC does?
(Disclaimer: I'm not a british citizen but I highly appreciate what the BBC does.)
It doesn't really matter whether a joke is grammatically correct. I remember having read the joke on alt.tasteless.jokes and I found it really funny back then. The words "close to" simply don't roll that well. I maintain this even as non-native English speaker.
I sense you're not from north America. Either that or you have been to Europe and/or Australia or you generally have a broad interest.
My admittedly limited impression is that north Americans don't care much for witty cheek. Also, self deprecation is expected and appreciated only half heartedly and should never ever move to the darker side. Last, entrepreneurship is often confused with general good eggishness. That is, Steve is untouchable, I broke many implicit north American rules and I hence do not deserve any mod points, regardless of the quality of my post. Why I consider myself lucky not to be modded down!
Buy these things for her, and be happy with your lot. With luck, you may get a blowjob on your birthday.
You know, being north American has it's draw backs. Absurd materialistic expectations from wives don't really have anything to do with love and marriage. I call myself lucky to be European. EU women -and men- tend to be a little less on the money.
(Besides that, I admire the USA for the research and business culture that brought prosperity to many parts of the world.)
Considering Moore's law that's just about to be expected.
In 5 years we have 3 x 18 month period. The level of improvement in hardware is multiplies by 2^3. Then I'd expect level of parallelism to affect the process by the same magnitude bringing the total to 2^6 = 64.
If they don't want you to be able to protect yourself, you don't want to go there.
That basically excludes the best part of the civilized world. So, start in Maine and go to Texas. Reverse and go back. Repeat several times and imagine you have crossed the world.
Sheesh, the USA is just a smal part of the word. Prepare by reading a lot about the places you'll visit and avoid risky place like the gulf of Aden.
idk why data structures seems to come up as a subject that self taught people don't learn. I'm self taught, and data structures & parsing was week 2 maybe? I think people are assuming that those that are self taught without a degree don't have any "formal education" in their area of interest.
If in two weeks you learned all you claim then why didn't you go all the way? Science needs smart people and a formal degree never hurts.
No offense to anyone. But I find I have to dumb down most of the stuff I do because otherwise a large group just "don't get it."
Something simple as data structures is mostly alien to self taught or to people without a degree but taught on the job. I had a formal course on this and I almost always must dumb down. Forget concepts and say hello to really simple examples in order to get your message through.
Same for parsing simple legacy file formats. During my CS degree we had to build a simple compiler. Invariably I look back at that assignment and reuse and refine concepts from that course. The reality is that scanners, tokens, parsers, Aho, Sethi and Ullman are all terms and names that only make you look smug.
By now you'd almost think a CS degree is a necessity. But it isn't. Nowadays rhetorics gets you very far. Admittedly not only in IT. Also the ability to succumb to horribly ugly software, clearly coughed up by idiots with a degree in a completely irrelevant field (history anyone?)
If you truly are serious about CS then bite the bullet and get a degree. Sure, you'll get frustrated but at least you can lean back and enjoy the poor, struggling masses.
The outlandish antics- tiger hunting, shooting whales, bare-chested horseback riding... he's doing it for the same reason as the guy who buys the really expensive, shiny, loud red pickup. He's compensating for...
I bow to your razor sharp analysis and take my hat off to you. Would you spend some of your precious time and analyse my glorious leader, the old Silvio? In his spare time he er..., well..., hunts and concurs. Although I suspect the prey and trophies are convinced to surrender with incentives. What's he compensating for?

My Swiss Franc still is on Google though.
Ooh, that's truly heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for this lad missing out on a completely disproportional lump of money.
Back to important things. I wonder what's on the menu in the cafeteria.

I believe this is called backward Vertical Integration. Nothing Nabi really can do about.

It's fucking close to water.
It's fucking near water. Know your classics buddy.
Broadband? I maintain I could still lead an electronic life with a remote Unix server, a VT Terminal and a 75/1200 baud modem.
Quite inspiring title. I will, in fact, use it to augment my collection of suave pick up lines.

I don't really care what a company does. If I like their products, I buy them. :) Anything else is silly.
Skindeepity.
Apple Reportedly Luring Ex-Google Mappers With Jobs
Poor Steve. They apparently didn't bury him properly but preserved his body as bait to lure in people in crises.
Don't particularly like the falla but this is too macabre even to my miserably low standards.
But will they go IPv6? Since they start from scratch this would make sense.
Oh, wait, this is more of a YRO issue and less of a technical one.....
I'll get my coat.
Doesn't that imply clear text storing? If a irreversible hash mechanism is used to store passwords then the clear text length wouldn't matter.
An yes, IMNSHO clear text password storing should be made a criminal offence!
If one was really paranoid one could just carry one's chocolate in a metal box until one gets home, then the GPS will never lock on anyway.
I always carry suspicious items like chocolate bars under my hat.

Support the poorer among us. Give money to east European women! Many geek men do, sometimes out of necessity. At least consider their example.
