Most African conflicts don't have a clear side that represents the people and a side that's clearly against the people. Libya does. It was the people of Libya that asked for this intervention. NATO is in contact with Libya in order to coordinate these attacks.
Still... how does my high school diploma justify the bombing of a sovereign country which is dealing with a violent uprising?
Not bombing the entire country, only the violent bits. What's getting bombed by the US and other nations is the parts of military and foreign mercenaries that are willing to use deadly violence against a sovereign nation, against peaceful protesters who just want a government that represents them. The no-fly zone to protect Libyan citizens from these murderers is entirely justified. It's the people of Libya that asked for this support, and if anything, it came too late.
I'm amazed that the shareholders haven't dumped him yet.
This.
I'm sure the government over there is also getting twitchy and thinking of looking for an angle before they lose the biggest source of export income their nation has.
And that.
I really don't think there's anyone on the planet other than Microsoft and one particular ex-Microsoft employee, who is happy with Nokia's new direction.
I don't know all the legal details, but my understanding is:
BSD is the academic license: use however you like GPL is the hobbyist's license: use, but share your changes Apache is the business license: use however you like, but keep the attributions, license, etc.
No idea what the exact differences between BSD and Apache are, but with BSD anyone can release the same code under a different license if they want. With Apache, I think they can't, but they can combine it easily with proprietary code (essential for many businesses) and don't have to share the source code of all their modifications.
It's also the opening of Karnival in Germany, Singles Day in China and Pepero (Pocky rip-off) day in South Korea. Non e of which seem to produce much on an outcry.
It's also Sint Maarten in the north of Netherland. How are kids supposed to be going around the neighbourhood singing songs for candy, knowing that a new game has just been released? Terribly insensitive.
mm/dd/yyyy goes from smallest to largest... months are mostly single digit while days are generally double digit and years are generally put as 4 or 2 digits. So it's possible to cut off the leading zero without it looking weird: 4/17/11, etc.
That not looking weird is because of the slashes separating the fields. 41711 as a date would definitely look weird, whereas 17/4/11 doesn't.
I'm more interested in a -1 rating. It sucks when my search results are filled with useless crap, copies of the same question without an answer, malware sites, etc. I'd love to rate those down.
I have no experience with naturist office environments, I'm afraid. I suspect some naturists might turn up the heat at home when it's chilly, while others would put on some clothes. Naturist camping grounds tend to be particularly popular when the weather is hot. If the temperature drops in the evening, many do tend to put on some clothes (not always enough by non-naturist standards, though that can vary wildly).
And yes, some naturists really are amazingly tough when it comes to low temperatures. Especially some older men can be very stubborn that way.
And if your wife is completely out of the house, working 100% out of the house, then you have to make decisions such as either sleep less or put the kid in a daycare (which is basically what you will do anyways if both of you work at an office, right.) The key difference here is that the amount of hours the child is in daycare is less (as you come with a management plan to work with your child at home, and specially if you are lucky enough to find a good day care close by that you can drop/pick up the baby quickly, as you need it, and depending on your day-to-day work needs). The whole thing tends to balance itself out.
We both work 4 days a week, so my son goes to day care 3 days a week. It's a pretty good one and it's very close by, and they tend to do quite a lot more interesting activities with the kids than we do at home. Also, with research pointing out that children in day care tend to have better social development, I'm sometimes wondering if he shouldn't be in day care even more. But I think our current arrangement works very well for us. I do like to be able to go out and do stuff with my kid (whether it's going to the zoo or just doing groceries).
I don't think I'd be terribly comfortable with us being home while I try to ignore him most of the time. (Well, that won't work anyway as he can get pretty demanding of attention, and starts to pull on my mouse cord because he wants to use the PC too.) In that case, I definitely think day care would be better for him.
Anecdotal I know, won't force you to believe it. The thing is, you sleep less during the night since you have to get up much earlier and go to bed much later to effectively compensate for disruptions caused by your child when you work from home (wife or no wife around.) But that is out weighted by the benefits. Hell, gladly I would take a 10% paycut to telecommute 100%.
I'd rather just have a good night's sleep and pay a bit more for daycare, I think.
When I said mastering a CLI takes a couple of days, I meant controlling one specific application from the command line. If you want to get every possible bit of power out of bash+sed+grep, then yes, that's going to take quite a bit of experience. But some basic use of bash+grep that surpasses what you can do with many GUIs can be learned in a matter of hours.
I guess methods for actually putting foreign genes into an organism might be patentable. But the DNA sequence itself should not be patentable in any sane universe.
Speak for yourself. I work two days a week from home, and I'm able to do my job just fine with a 2-year old hanging around. I'm actually able to put 1-2 more hours of work (yep, actual work) by splitting up my work day in chunks. Some chunks go to work, some chunks go to my kid. I get a total of 3 (at least) extra hours from not having to commute, which I can put either into work or my child (depending on how I play it in a particular day.)
What happens during the chunks that don't go to your kid? Can your 2-year old really entertain himself for any meaningful amount of time? Mine can't, unless I put him in front of the TV. If I were working at home, I might be able to do a bit of work before he wakes up, 2 hours during his mid-day nap and a bit in the evening after he's gone to bed. But by that time I'm pretty tired myself.
Being able to put just a few hours with my kid during the day helps my wife concentrate on other things that need to be taken care of (finance, bills, her work, etc.) The only downside is that on those days I have to get up really, really early to get my day started, and stay very late to get some work done.
Wait, wife? You mean your wife is at home when you work? That means you're not really taking care of the kid, are you?
Barring having a child with a horrible disease (God forbids), if you can't handle work and a kid when telecommuting, that's something with your scheduling skills buddy. It is possible. It has been done. People do it.
Without their wife present to take care of the kid when you want to work? And still get 8 hours of work done in the few hours that the kid is sleeping while you're not?
Country or city is the big difference here. When you live in a city, you probably live pretty close to work, so telecommuting doesn't really add a lot of benefit in travel time. And having young kids play outside on their own can be a lot more dangerous and/or complicated (depending on your neighbourhood, I suspect). When you live in the country, travel time to work is likely to be a lot longer, and kids can more easily play outside at a younger age, making telecommuting a lot more attractive in many different ways.
I live in a city, bicycle to work in 30 minutes, and in my experience, I'm just a lot more productive in the office than at home (too many distractions). So I don't need telecommuting. On the other hand, the building I live in has a pretty large (for a city) garden where lots of kids play, so my kid can play outside on his own as soon as I'm sure he's not going to fall down any stairs.

In 2000 he had dignity,
Yeah, but that was back when he was still against torture.
On their request, though. The people of Libya asked for the no-fly zone.
The only thing that Obama did good was get elected.
He did some nice speeches after he got elected.
Every single person except real left wing die hards are cursing him.
Real left wing die hards? I think those are cursing him more than anyone. He's practically indistinguishable from a republican now.
Both major parties need to die. Can you people please get organized and stop voting for anyone who calls themselves a democrat or republican?
I'm amazed that the shareholders haven't dumped him yet.
This.

Interesting point. Would touch screens be more popular among people with glasses? It wouldn't even surprise me all that much.

That's only because their older phones are practically indestructible. Nokia seems rather determined to be on the way out at the moment.

You could even eliminate the 'th'. In Dutch, we say "11 september" (we even eleminated a capital there).
I think this is Google's way of saying that everybody is now working on this. Figure out how to make it relevant to what you are doing.
Yes, because management decided so.

Naturists tend to use a towel to sit on, and shower after taking a dump. Also, when it gets cold, they put on a sweater.
It's like getting a patent on a new island that you discovered.
I guess methods for actually putting foreign genes into an organism might be patentable. But the DNA sequence itself should not be patentable in any sane universe.
Wouldn't prior art be rather easy to prove? Just find someone who has that mutation and was born before the patent application.
I don't see how anyone other than God can hold patents to human DNA sequences.

Visual/spatial information is of course better represented visually. But abstract information is often much easier manipulated in some other way.
Like TFA says: there's a time and place for GUIs. But sometimes you really need something more powerful to get the job done.
