You cannot call Active Record scalable and expect people to take you seriously. It isn't. ROR is a fine choice for a front end that connects to a real backend to do the heavy lifting ( which may run Ruby sans Rails) . And to be fair, it might be okay to start with an all rails solution with a plan for what to do if the site takes off.
I'm not defending the report at all. There is no reason why some of the countries listed show up. However, from that, it is a huge leap to assume that contries are simply on the list because they are poor. There probably is a high corrilation between poor contries and piracy. So, just maybe the list which names countries with high rates of piracy used some sort of metric that measured.... piracy without taking into account the economy of that country?
Really, the article was written more poorly than the average slashdot comment. I think it should have equal weight.
Go back 100 years and you'd say the same thing, except your grandparents would be part of the "poorly education and least equipped to care for themselves" section.
But it is also about yeild. The more switching over to orgaincs, the more land we'll need. Maybe that's a problem, maybe its not, but that's the point of the study.
No, this study was just about yeild per growing acre. The actual cost of the produce was not looked at. The implication is that it would take more farmland to produce organics. More land for farming means less land for living or rainforest or datacenters or shopping malls.
Not vacinating is undoubtable crazy. But organics do kind of make sense. I mean, at least for some foods. Do you realize the health problems banana growers face due to the pestisides used? While pesticide residules that are on the fruit we eat may be of little health concern, the growers really suffer.
But no one knows what the odds are of a getting all the conditions right for life to start.
If you assume that life must be everywhere, then you have to assume that those odds are pretty good. If you assume that life isn't everywhere, then you have to assume that the odds are not very good.
So, In the end that little nugget of information doesn't really help at all. Its just more information that will be viewed through the colored lense of the beholder. In a small kind-of-sort of way, that's what this study is saying.The probability of life existing is determined in a large part by how much researchers assume it to be, rather than on any hard scientific method.
What does "donate" mean? Is that anything like selling a US senate seat for campaign cash? Cause, I've got a good idea how to do that. . Or do I need you to get a Comercial Drivers license for my Blind friend for me? My family's done that too..
Are you forgetting about Cinnamon? It's basically the same thing but starting from gnome3 and working back to gnome2's appearance. As opposed to mate's starting with gnome2's code base, and working towards gnome3's while keeping the apperance the same.
Neither did the British Empire, or the Incan empire, or the Japanese Empire, or the Russian Empire, or the Galactic empire. Man Jesus is awesome at killing empires!
If you ever build something that might be called an empire, its probably safer to just call it a principality, lest Jesus kill it.
Ach, forgot Krita changed. Calligra isn't really easy to test right now without going outside of my distro's binary packages. Not willing to destablize my daily desktop to try it. I'm sure they've improved it since the fork, they've had more than enough time to do so....
Libre office simply has more features. There were a lot of features people wanted to add to open office but couldn't get past the Sun gatekeeper. That lead to the Go-oo fork with all of those added in. Now they've merged with libreoffice, so all of those features and developers have been added into libre. Basically the bigest features for me are improved MS format fiedelity in reading and writing.
OpenOffice's fork libreoffice is probably the best. I haven't had a chance to play with calligra, but Koffice is a joke. Sure its fast and lightweight, but it doesn't really render any documment type very well (ODF or Microsoft formats) and crashes at every chance. There are individual applications like Krita the photo editing app that are solid decent apps, but the main Office aps ( word processor, spreadsheet, slide show presenter) suck.
I really do not see a difference between best buy and apple stores. The employess all suck. They all want to help me, but they don't realize that I've done all of the research before stepping in the store. No amount of telling them this works at all. I'm just there to look at the merchandice and possibly buy to avoid the shipping delay from online stores.

Yeah, it also has this:

You can still kill yourself in C++ many ways as well, you just have to be smart enough to not shoot yourself in the foot.
Drupal is terrible for a high volume site too...

Of course.

Basically what I'm saying is: why is one assumption of the probability better than the other? In the end, their both assumptions not based on science.

Is historical fiction any less reliavent than bringing up science fiction?
I had a higher opinion of Forbes when it came to finacial reporting. I mean, its not bat sh*t crazy Ron Paul talking
Yeah, I'm sort of amazed that its on forbes. You'd expect them to do a little research and at least address the built in deflation in a story.

I don't have a MP, can't I just bribe one of yours?

Yeah, I was an advanced public school student. I know the earth is round, but forget that its spherical, rather than cynldrical.
Apple does believe macs are PCs.
