And General Motors is doing very well in Europe and Asia as well. Doesn't mean the company overall isn't losing money hand over fist and in danger of bankruptcy.
You're assuming that the Delorian is moving through our 4 dimensional universe to get from point A to Point F. What if there was a worm hole/time tunnel/extra dimension that allowed you to go directly from point A to point F with out going through points B ->E? No need for space travel at fantastic speeds.
I do have a web related project (that I haven't found time for) for someone to work on for a Charity providing free education to brilliant kids in Haiti. Basically the web site is always out of date, because I'm pretty busy. But if it were to be converted to drupal/joomla/wordpress or some other content management system we could train existing staff to update it. Let me know if your interested. If someone is interested, just reply then we'll explore it min more detail.
Oddly enough Jan 20th is the official release date for Moonlight 1.0 The Linux implementation of silverlight. But only of the silverlight 1.0 spec. I wonder if 2.0 is really required.
To expect our idea of freedom and democracy to work in China is to ignore its situation and culture.
No, To expect our idea of freedom and democracy to work in China is to believe that democracy transcends culture. That freedom is not a cultural accident, but speaks to a more fundamental aspect of the human experience, which all deserve.
Funny, I wasn't able to find a registered cooperation under that name. It seems like MicroSoft would sue them for the name similarity, if this Micro$oft outfit is at all involved in technology products. I'm guessing from the name that they might make financial software of some sort?
Above all else, it's nice to see the change in tone. Many anti prop 8-ers are turning their scorn on those who Believe in God. I'm sure they did make up a majority of those that voted for it. But as I said earlier, being mad at them isn't likely to change their minds.
There is a difference between not hiring someone because they are not good at the tasks they are being hired to perform, and making requirements on their philosophical outlook. There are also more than two perceptions of Deities than what you mentioned (New age pseudo spiritualism and evil traffic cop). I think its very interesting which two extremes you mentioned, but that's beside the point.
But that was Krow. He's special. Used to work here at Slashdot back in the day. Also know as the father of the Drizzle project. He came over in the mysql acquisition. I'm not sure why he asked for BSD, though. That's a bit odd, as he points out it may be the first bsd licensed code to come out of Sun. Maybe he had heard from former customers that wanted to not abide by gpl?
So Basically, You'd prefer to discriminate based on religious Belief? I would have thought that the opposite of intolerance would be tolerance, but what do I know? You'd probably just attach a dismissive label to me to avoid having to think about the consequences of my ideas.
If all you do is hate those that hate you, and love those that love you, then you're not really doing anything constructive to change the situation.
One subject at a time sounds like a good idea, and I'll research it further. But, if that doesn't make it I'd like to at least see a new law passed that requires the authors of all amendments to bills be part of public record. From what I've heard, the riders can be introduced without reveling who wrote it or proposed it.
I really don't know where to begin with your post, I don't have time to go through all of the problems raised by your commentary. But, in general, it can be said that there is a societal expectation of social behavior. The majority of people have been born with the ability to discern clues as to other's behavior and act accordingly.
More interesting to me, is that there is an expectation hat one without social skills is necessarily an individual with strong math and science skills. I have found this to not be the case more often than not. There are more socially awkward individuals of average intelligence, than those of above average intelligence. I think they find it easier to cope with their social skills by associating themselves with the trappings of science-fiction and technology. Due to the stereotype, this gives them the perception of being "Smart". And I guess its better to be perceived as socially awkward and smart, rather than socially awkward and of average intelligence.
1) An email sent to five people wouldn't have brought down the companies email server, even if each one of them had hit "reply to sender".
2) I believe this was a question about internal emails, where regular use of the software is possible.
3) Permission per thread based bulletin boards are not new, nor are they that complicated.
But the main point of this whole story was that reply all was bringing down internal email systems. So the options are A) Beef up the email systems or B) Try something more efficient. I would try B, before A.
Hunter gatherers aren't carbon neutral, The human body produces C02. What is that off set by?
Ever is an awfully strong statement. There is a lot of uncertainty in both measuring carbon impact and any offsets. What you can say is that you are neutral within the margin of error of both measurements.
Do you see how less stupid that sounds? And did you see how many less capitalized letters I used in words? Feel free to imitate my style of communication, to improve other people's opinion of your thoughts. (although, you might want to skip this part where, I'm criticizing your style of communication, its not the most professional thing in the world to do in more formal situations. However, in this particular case your response was particularly irksome, and demonstrated a limited capacity for further discourse. I apologize if you think this bit to be a bit rude, but societal niceties should not impede the betterment of society. )
No, you totally missed the point. completely. Just because improving things isn't easy and there are tradeoffs, doesn't mean you don't try. You can't only do the easy, obvious things in life. Complexity is not impossibility.
Yeah, that was a knee jerk response, but a good one. Often You hear advocacy group A advocate their position as if it was the only one around. For the price of a starbucks latte we could put a Man on mars!. Or eliminate Cancer. Or eliminate AIDS. Or Create 1 million high paying jobs.
The point being that there are trade offs... opportunity costs. That isn't an argument for the status quo, but somethings need to be considered in conjunction with other factors. As the parent suggested perhaps there is a way we could cheaply reduce the light pollution while maintaining the current level of crime fighting that it gives us.

Sorry, thought it might help.
Ok. I'll set up a temp email account on one of my servers. Drop me a line at

while removing the funny bits from the email address of course.

That's not what I've heard and read from people like Anderson Cooper.

Heck, I'll be impressed when I find a well documented, well designed XML file format from anyone..

Ok, then I'm not the only one. I guess I only noticed it in safari. But, I see in firefox the G is more apparent due to the gray tab surrounding it.
How about conducting discussions on discussion boards rather than email?

I thought American at first, then I remembered what fish and chips was and where the dish came from.
Come on! We're mostly Anglophone's here. What we really want to know is:
How does it taste deep fried?
