You're not wrong, but not really that right either. There should be a balance, but seti@home is a tax on people who are bad at math, but like babylon 5.
I don't know I love real maps and Google maps. With Google I have to upload the information into my head. I never print it out, I just create a mental map of how to get there what the place looks like from the air etc. Really good maps are expensive. I have one and use it, but its really only good for learning how to get different places, as in what are the different routes I could take to get from point A to Point B. Google helps me figure out where A and B are to begin with. I have both, use both, and love both. Its really like asking me which child I love more.
GPS is the red headed step child I keep locked in the attic. Everything it tells me is stupid, and it won't shut the heck up.
Why didn't / wouldn't they just convert them to win97 documents? Thats a five minute Visual basic program you should have given to an intern back in 99.
No one sane is using office 95. If I recall, there are some nasty hacks in windows written to accomidate brain dead office quirks. They were discovered when some one releases part of the windows source code a while back. I think it was doing something on the order of freeing a null pointer on start up or some such silly nonsense. I'd be willing to bet that the current parsing engine that does crazy stuff like "provideblockspacingaroundpictureslikeword95" still has to do some unsafe things. Rather rewriting the parsing of old documents, I'm sure it would have been easier to no disclose the vulnerabilities and drop support.
Well, that is a *part* of it, but thats mainly confined to the non luxury suv market which is taking a hit now due to the increase in gas prices. It used to be a machisimo thing at the factory I worked at for a summer. Who had the biggest SUV. None of them could really afford the payments, if they were also saving for retirement and their kids college funds. But I think most of the people who are still buying the Mercedes, porche, and Lexus SUV's can afford them and the gas. I think the recent reversal inortune for the Detroit automakers reflects that. The big decline has been in durangoes,expiditions, and silverados.
illegal imigration is a red herring. A scape goat. Its like cold medicine fighting the sypmtoms instead of the virus causing them. One of the functions of sypmtoms is to allow you to know there is an underlying disease. Its not that only the wealthy must look at how they spend their money, all of us must do the same. Look at all of the debt, those of us in the United States have. If were maxing out our plastic to buy 54 inch plasmas, how can we expect sympathy from anyone? We need to use less, not just because we have less, but because what little we have needs to be used more wisely.
I guess I was wrong for attacking Ron Paul on this subject, because I'm not sure any government's policies could solve this societies problems. What we need is something on the order of the Government's advocacy programs supporting wise financial decisions. We really need Plato's philosopher king to take the temperature of the countries problems and advise us on how best to solve them on a local level. So anyone want to dig up Socrates and fire up the cloning device? Or maybe not as nobody listened to him when he was alive and forced him to kill himself.
ah well, thanks for the further provocation. I'll get back to my free static while it lasts. Maybe I should record it? Will it still be around when they auction off that spectrum? Will it be the same comforting white noise? Anyone know? Anyone else care?
Also, this is not a limit on the server editions. As far back as win 2000 advanced server could 'use' more than 4 gigs of memory, but with a limit of 4 gigs per process. I'm not sure when linux go the ability to do that on 32 bit x86, but it was right around the same time. See wiki for more details
Bingo, give the man a cigar. You are not ever going to raise the price of gas so high that you wont see luxary SUV's. The more exclusive they would become as the price of gas goes up, the more the appeal of their exclusivity and their value as status symbols go up. Its all about income disparity. And this is where I don't see Ron Paul's platform's solution. I don't see how cutting taxes, and reducing the size and reach of the government is going to make up for this income disparity. And there will be further consequnces besides owning luxury SUV's. At some point, access to Government backed Student loans will be restricted as Tuition goes sky high and the earning power of a degree continues to slide resulting in massive student loan defaults.
Well that's enough rose cheeked optimism for one day. I think I'll go back to watching analog static before they take *that* away from us too.
Yeah, but its even more confusing than that. 1582 is the date that one of the Popes( Greogory, hence Gregorian Calendar) decreed the calendars change. The protestant heathens refused as they didn't read about the time change in the bible, or int the wittings of martin Luther. So they kept the old Julian system until 1752. So there are dates that did exist in some countries that didn't in others, and there was a disagreement about the date between countries.
After writing that I know see the;) at the end of your comment. In which case, I have notified the athories and you soon expect the unexpectable inquisition hailing from the Iberian peninsula region.
I thought it was called a cat strangler, because the strings were made out of cat gut. But I digress, The violin is also a good choice, but an axe sounds a lot cooler than a cat strangler.
No, I don't think the math can get any simpler than " Because God made it that way". I don't know what you mean my conception. take a look here to see how "easily" the leading scientific minds understood ( if thats what you mean by conception) quantum mechanics. I'm just saying we live in a complex world, where things aren't as simple as we sometimes would like them to be. And I think as you pointed out, we are all better off for it.
From the article, it seems like he believes that this lumpiness was always there, rather than an earlier smooth distribution they've been assuming.
While we might not ever know who is correct in this regard, I tend to prefer theories that don't have the need for dark energies, or matter,even if that really really screws up the equations we use to model the early universe. I think at some point every physicist just stares at a black board somewhere and says to himself " thats fucked up". We really have lost the elegance of the universe being a series of spherical shells rotating around the earth. Since that point we've managed to go through cycles of discovering elegance in the universe on a deeper level (the simple math of kepplar and Newton), and having to reject it for more complexity( Einstien's huge matrix of PDE's ). Let this be a lesson to us all, Don't let what should be prevent you from seeing what is.
And win95 didn't work on my 8088 either. I think your using the wrong ruler to measure the right thing. For every advance in computing there is a cost in terms of performance. The real question is not how fast app X runs on platform Y, but does the increase in functionality make up for the decrease in speed. Having said that, I would say that for Google apps, its not really worth it for most of the situations I find myself in.
Not exactly. There a a billion theories exactly like this one but different, but exactly the same. They are all waiting on the Hadron collider to provide proof of higher order dimensions and thus not disprove their theories that depend upon higher dimensions. It will not prove which one is correct.
If you don't believe me subscribe to new scientist for a while. Every issue a new multi dimensional theory that could help to explain some feature of the universe but can only be proved/disproved at energies that we can't reach.
This is in essence what I'm saying. We are too far removed from being able to test these theories, that they are not likely to be correct. String theory is over 30 years old and we still haven't been able to prove or disprove it. Think about that, people have spent their entire careers working on a theory that many not be proved or disproved in their lifetimes. I think we were spoiled by the rate of rapid advance in the 20th century.
I never said physics was not science, but more like science fiction where you don't really have to prove anything just suggest something is plausible.
"If that happens, then these kind of theories will move out of the realm of speculation and into the mainstream."
There are a gazillion of these unsupported hunches out there, believe which ever one you want. Physics has become the domain of science fiction authors.
Yes, I agree. Although, they should give more attention to more widely used products, than obscure ones. Ironically, that may lead to a cycle of people abandoning well known products and adopting the other lesser used one, if the only metric is listed vulnerabilities.
And warning of vulnerabilities that have already been patched is legitimate, IMHO, as many people will not always use the latest version and they would still be at risk.
Yeah, but if the htmlspecialchars was exploitable in geshi, then it was a vulnerability in geshi. You can't ignore vulnerabilities inherit in the language you use. If it was exploitable in geshi, then you in turn exposed the users of geshi to the vulnerability by incorporating the function into your implementation. I mean imagine microsoft claiming that buffer overflows were not its fault, as they were really vulnerabilities in C, not windows/explorer/office ect.
