to suggest the only advances that came out of the space industry are velcro and tang, is stupid and insulting to all the amazing engineers that worked in the field. it destroys any credability your rant had.
i think the evolution nah sayers using science is a kind of evolution in itself. they have gotten to the point where science won't let them stand on faith alone. i have no problem with someone saying the believe in something because they choose to - that's what faith is.
what I and i think most other people object to is when they try call it science and cherry pick some facts and misrepresent the truth in schools to try trick kids into buying into their faith.
your doing the classic fail where you think people just want to do email and browse the web. BZZZZZZZT, WRONG.
people want to be able to install that game or little app that tells them their star sign for the day. people don't have to be geeks to want a computer that's not crippled.
your right, the itampon is the most restricted, useless, over priced heap of crap i've seen in a long time. i'm pretty sure the hype about it will turn when people actually see it's nothing more then an iphone which can't make calls.
it's almost like you've come up with a method of distributing data amongest "peers", so when one peer goes offline others continue to send data giving you redundancy. i think we should call it b2b - bot 2 bot.
i've seen it as well a few times now. they disappear into their boss's office, then it's out the door right after that. just easier to get rid of them.
are you suggesting he is addicted to tampering with data or something? not that i think and alcoholic has any excuse either, but it's not on the same level.
I think his boss should get a large sharp pineapple inserted into him, but he isn't responsible for this guys actions, merely for his own failure.
no no no no. it's his own fault for being a stupid douche and tampering with shit he knew damn well he shouldn't be tampering with. attemping to make this his boss's fault for trusting him is just a classic symptom of today's society lack of personal responsibility. it's alllllways somebody elses fault right?
i do agree they should have shown him the door right away, but it's his own faul he is in this mess, not his boss.
i agree. after the stink the TSA has kicked up about how important security is, i don't give a fuck what excuse they have for letting this guy keep his access after he's been given notice. it's just plain wrong.
the fundamental problem with trying to measure compeltion time by man hours and expecting more man power to get the job done faster in every instance, is that one hour of programmer b's time is not equal to one hour of programmer a's time.
a million monkeys on a million type writers WILL NOT produce shakespear
paper votes can all be pyshically accounted for, and counted by a machine and then checked by multiple hand counters. thats the problem with electronic votes. how do you KNOW the button you pressed turned into the vote you asked for and can't be tampered with after the fact? while i'm sure there may be a solution like taking a hash of the vote based on it's time and result and storing it seperately to the vote itself, then checking these later to confirm they match. i'm not sure the public will be very comfortable with this concept for some time.
you can't track or verify your vote after you've cast it obviously - to suggest any voting system is flawed due to a lack of tracking flys in the face of the secret ballot and is for retards.
do you honestly believe such bullshit? there would be 1000 lawyers descending on them for a class action. i know it's popular on here to come up with new ways to trash things like DRM, but let's keep it atleast in the realms of reality....

typical. this is WHY conservatives win all the time, because you idealists can't stick to your guns and are too lazy to take the fight to them.
1. there are many other factors that are different in the amish lifestyle that could be the reason
2. they are too much of a small sample size compared to the rest of the nation to be useful.
3. the only reason they aren't being wiped out by preventable illness is because WE are protecting them through herd immunity.

yes thats right, slashdot is as bad as fox news.
why involve a union, can't fight your own battles?

oh yeah, just string a few HVDC lines across country. sounds simple, like brain surgery or sending a man to mars...

for people working in the real world, they can achieve real world outcomes (god i'm damned to management aren't I?).
there is about 1000000 websites out there that will answer this better then /.
it's protected by a strong passphrase you'd need about 10000000 years to brute force. good enough for you?
what else would you expect from a public servant. he won't admit the private sector has them beat because it'd be the end of his job.
most people who purchased this game had no idea about DRM, you jerk off.

certs are harder for a user to setup, which means support time which cuts into a small time operation a lot.
it's the fact that O2 is so reactive is what makes it useful in the first place.
