No shit. People seem to forget that prices are temporary, but we can encounter far worse long term costs. I am not trying to troll here...but imagine if the cost of the Iraq war was invested into wind power...
But thats not where the priorities are. Neither is protecting the environment.
WARNING: Do not attempt to look at the sun. Doing so can harm your vision. The parent poster takes no responsibility for individuals who choose to look at the sun. He was simply pointing out that the sun performs fusion daily. Your mother mated with rabid monkeys. You are a dirty pirate whore. Blade 3 was not good.
I don't think more people cooperating will really find new exploits, they will simply explore the ones they have already found. So, instead of an exploit coming out and than a derivative coming out a couple weeks later, we will see four or five derivates in quick succession of the original exploit.
Well, I dont know how much faster things can get exploited and cracked...
Major warez groups usually try to get the first release of new software, and over half the time they have a cracked version out BEFORE the legitimate version is put for sale in stores.
I just had to download doom3 before it was out, and then buy the copy after.
But in the same way, people have been exploiting software in groups forever, this isnt new.
Right now, though, science budgets are practically nil. We'd need a lot more observatories and a lot more computing power available to astronomers to be able to do the kinds of calculations required.
Putting the money into senseless military exploits takes away money from research that really might make a difference to long-term survival.
I will bite this one, because I hate generalizations and stereotypes.
I am also aware that lawyers too, by virtue of their understanding of meticulous contracts and weighing of evidence, consider themselves *far* smarter than others.
This falls into several logical reasoning fallacies, including a biased sample, hasty generaliztion, cause and effect, and spotlight.
I think it's a middle-class disease. If you're upper class with inherited property and investments, then the urge to prove yourself isn't all that pressing. But If you're a middle-class and falling into the ranks of lower-class isn't unthinkable, then kicking the lower-class man is a good way to relieve your tension.
This arguement, which is based on a previous false arguement draws horrible conclusions.
Please, before you try and make an arguement, learn how to make a valid arguement.
No, I am not a lawyer, I am not defending them speficically.
Not only does the data appear bad --- but the questions themself are VERY weak in determining the "Most connected campus".
A quick few that seem ridiculous - Computers Per Student and Ownership Requirements. They think a good way of determining the most connected campuses is by counting the number of computers per student the university owns, but also the university requiring students to own their own computer?
I dont see how this is advantageous. No university should require students to own their own computer --- supplied computers are more than adequate for school use. I currently go to a very good university for computer science, and some of my fellow classmates for budget reasons do not own their own computer. They make use of the school resources and have no problem doing so. They even go so far as to including a Computers Provided section where computers are provided in tuition. I do not believe this is a sign of a good school, computer purchasing should be left to the individual if they CAN afford it, and tuition is already inflating far too fast.
First off, both companies that build OS's and antivirus companies have quareterly earnings to meet, can we risk that not happening?
Also, on a serious note, individuals need to be more reponsible for the security of their own machine. We are in an age where more people have fast computers on fast internet connections, and people are going to exploit their ignorance.
This is a problem that is not going to go away quickly, because those individual users are not going to change quickly, and there is no financial reason for OS companies to make better software.
trusted chips will eventually be used by software manufacturers to make sure the computer's owner does not do anything with the software which the manufacturer does not want to permit
This concerns me.
More from a grammatical standpoint than anything else.

Also for those who don't know, "First Nations" refers to Native Americans
To the more ignorant, "First Nations" == "Native Americans" == Indians ( The wawawawawawa (mouth tapping) kind, not the wawawawawawa (point at dot on forehead) kind ) (disclaimer: family guy viewership required)
I had a bold, then IGNORANT, then an unbold
At least in China IGNORANT people can't bitch about how dangerous nuclear energy is. I'm not saying communism is good, but in this case it is. Plus i'm sure oil lobbyists would play a role in the US, not so in China (I think).

On a clear day, just look up. ;-)

Fool! Obviously you have not been following the Terro r threat levels!
An attack is coming! We must spend trillions more on military to SAVE YOU. Research is useless if you are DEAD!
Please become fearful and obedient immediately. That is all.
I can teach you being a Canadian myself.
I guess I have to learn the phrase "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"...
What about the '90s?
What happened during the 90's again...
Damnit and those were supposed to be my "good 'ol years"...
Actually for floating point, the maximum 2+2 could be is 5 for extremely large values of 4.

I'm not a big fan of Pebble Bed over Pressurized Water, but it is really nice to see someone getting into nuclear in a big way
Why not...from what I have read its great in a safety sense...
