Tell that to Nancy Pelosi, she'll be happy to know that she could have rammed through any healthcare legislation she wanted. Except it didn't work that way, did it?
Here in the US the political season is already starting. Just as it has been for decades, we're getting robocalls from the various candidates. I also get many credit card offers every week with my name on the envelope and pleas from the alumni association to send money. Privacy? What's that?
Most math curriculums teach the basics of probability and statistics long before they get anywhere near calculus. Unfortunately, you can't teach much more than the basics without getting into calculus.
The article is basically a press release from a company in Ohio that filed a patent application for delivering electrically charged bubbles of gas with a vortex gun. Somehow Slashdot turned it into a rallying cry for Occupy Someplace for Some Reason protesters.
You have a right to peaceful protest. You don't have a right to trespass and disrupt businesses or political gatherings. Respect others' rights and yours will be respected too.
...and yes, I know that if you can boot into another OS and If the drive isn't encrypted (both unlikely) there might be a way. But the words "grounds for dismissal" come to mind.
having php adopt a bad idea from Java and making it worse?
More like understanding what went wrong in Java and not making the same mistake again.
Wouldn't we be better off actually having static typing instead?
If you want a static typed language and all the tedium that goes with it, use Java. If you want faster development and less code, use a dynamically typed language.
Horrors of privatizing government services that citizens have a right to. Next they'll probably think medicine should be privatized; but we all know that could never work.
This researchers believe this may be because participants are equally motivated to deceive employers in both settings, but perceive lies about work experience on LinkedIn as more easily verifiable
Maybe, but I believe it's more likely that participants are customizing their resumè to fit the job posting and not bothering to update their online profiles (which would be difficult to do if said participant is applying for several jobs).
The data might not mean there is an outright shortage of S&E workers; it could indicate a combination of factors related to such things as the recession and offshoring.
While I'm not a supporter of SOPA, headlines with statements like "In another hilarious comment..." come across as more than a little biased. I hope News For Nerds doesn't sink to Blog For Nerds.
I see Stratfor calling itself the "Shadow CIA". But is there really any connection to the CIA? From what I've seen they mostly market themselves to private industry, perhaps they have some subscribers in Washington but the connection seems casual at best.
You seem to be confusing cyber-espionage (which is happening) with cyber-war (which would involve disrupting most financial transactions, journalism, etc.). You wouldn't get a tweet that cyber-war started because that would be one of the first sites taken down.
The closest we've seen to cyber-warfare is the STUXNET virus; it want far beyond the capabilities of script kiddies running downloadable bots.

Agreed. Standard Minimax gaming strategy, it generally gives the highest probability of the desired outcome.
The government will give you a free cell phone if you're below the poverty line.

They were asked to leave and refused. How does that count as being subdued? You expect the police to just shrug and walk away?
I think the fact that all the watertight doors of the "unsinkable ocean liner" were open sort of makes everything else irrelevant.
Well, almost everything. Hitting the iceberg in the first place is still relevant.
Because it's really more like "import".

The article links to a White House blog, which is nothing more than a parroting and link to the real information. Must be an election year.

I expect to not be the administrator on the device.
But he thinks he'll be able to repartition the hard-drive? Really?
So, can open source or competitions build better math textbooks?
There's no reason to write another Calculus book. This one covered the subject as well as it can be covered: Calculus Made Easy

This is bad news for family and friends waiting for the ship to arrive, as this intense burst will fry them
Not only that, but since you're traveling faster than light they wouldn't see you coming in time to duck.

This suprises anyone?
Well, there are also neutrinos, photons, and a bunch of other stuff I don't understand.
I don't see anything there, other than some guy talking about applying for a job at the CIA.

Cyber-warfare is happening now...

Sucks to live in Detroit, doesn't it?
It's called "undercover" for a reason. Most of what they do you never know about because they don't want anyone to know.
