Maybe he doesn't care about customising his phone. I sure don't. My father has a galaxy s ii, I have iPhone. iPhone is vastly slicker and more tightly integrated over android. It's like windows versus Linux. Linux is awesome if you want to do coding, but shit as a desktop os.
They did have to physically visit the site for stuxnrt, it was delivered on USB. You'd imagine control systems would generally be on their own network, seemed that way where I've worked.
evolution has been proved many times. bacteria resistant to new drugs is evolution in action. if you want a more extreme example, what about those bacteria we evolved to process a food they had no way of processing before.
Newton belived in a creator but he was far from a model religious man. he rejected the holy trinity and considered such things idolatry. he would have been a heretic for his views.
What would they gain if it was a publicity stunt? It's not like funding is decided based on popularity or something. And you have tons to lose if you say something that sounds obviously ridiculous.
Didn't google release bigtable and mapreduce and google filesystem papers? That was some pretty huge technology. MapReduce is part of Apache Hadoop. Also, what custom cpu's do they use. I was under the impression google uses entirely off the shelf parts and does everything in software.
i buy stuff from steam every week pretty much in their sales as do my friends. games are just overpriced, that's the real reason people download them. I won't buy deus ex till it's half price for example. online stores allow you to easily expolit the long tail effect since you don't need to keep stock on shelves.
The free things are just example of life being good here. It's in no way parasitic. It's using excess money to help less fortunate people better themselves. It's not like I didn't work and pay taxes for years for the programs I'm talking about. I'm 28, been working since I left school at 15. going to college now because there is few jobs so this program pays for unemployed people to go to college. that's investing in the future, not parasitic. I have no real ideology, most people I know don't. there is very little polarization of ideology here, no one calls themselves liberals or conservatives. This thinking of supporting others as parasitic is exactly the kind of culture I'm talking about.
there is studies on humans in there. it certainly seems to have some effects. I've seen people on documentaries before that used caloric restriction for many years and they have bodies of much younger people.
I worked a 4 10 hour days week when i was in dell. Definitely one of the best ways of working ive ever done. Having 3 days off leaves you so refreshed on a monday and ready to tear into work.
Well how about the rest of europe? All 35-40 hours too. And rating poor based on income is a terrible judge. Don't forget about the fact that europe has free healthcare, free universities, great unemployment benefits and lots of other little perks. Hell im getting paid to go to college as a mature student. No one works long hours in europe and im certain we are all happier because of it. Of course you probably consider us to be socialist with high taxes, paying for the slackers or some other silly ideology. The american culture of me, money and anti-intellectualism is driving you guys into a terrible downward spiral and its such a shame to watch ye fall from greatness.
A few of the other big issues with the US system:
* The US system has a summer vacation, while most other school systems do not. The effect of this policy, a legacy of the 19th century when kids had to go work the family farm in the summer, is that not only do students lose about 2-3 months in the summer, they also lose 2-3 months in the fall reviewing all the stuff they covered in the previous year that they've forgotten over the break.
Eh? Every country in europe I can think of has the usual 2-3 month summer break too. Pretty sure everywhere has that kinda system or something similar with semesters and big breaks. A quick search online shows america does about 180 days of school a year. We do 168 days in Ireland in high school and 180 days in primary school before that.
Not cool over here, but it certainly doesn't seem to be at the level of american anti-intellectualism. Bullying of nerds seems to be a real problem in america for example. Nerds were never bullied any more than any one else when I was in school in Ireland like. I heard a guy comment the other day that a gym teacher called him a weak nerd, wtf.
lots of people are incapable of critical thinking, they need simple rules. religion provided those rules in the past but is clearly outdated in the modern world. religion is just a failed example of early government
what about places that don't have wifi? didn't have any net access in my ex's house, streamed tons of shows. do you live in a place with full wifi mesh coverage or something?
Did you just pick random articles from a google search?:p One of them actually concludes using the internet can increase productivity and its hard to measure how much it affects it. Another says that social networks can increase productivity but that it can make you distant to your friends and possibly reduce engagement that way. And the other 2 articles are just business guidelines with no data.
Actually the real interesting thing is that your brain only uses a couple more calories than when taxed. Physical labour requires vastly more calories yet doesn't cause near the same amount of hunger. So you are effectively over-eating.

Everyone knows the trains run on time joke, it's even in American sitcoms.

we had one girl the first day in compsci, never saw her again :p
then there would be jets from the poles

there's a big difference between tv and a BBC doc about aging.
they clearly aren't including the limit considering the new one takes 5 mins instead of 90.

Caloric restriction does indeed extend life span. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie_restriction

We do only do 40 at most though. Which seems to be the minimum amount in america rather than a limit.
Bleh, totally didnt read that properly before I clicked submit :/ "than when taxed" should just be "when taxed"

Wtf? Indices are always superscripts? :S Are you confusing vectors and indices?
