You may be trying to be funny, but someone along the line totally missed the point of "freakonomics". It was a thought experiment only, not an actual supportable theory.
Ever wonder why youths have no idea and think weed is harmless? Because they are not actually educated about it in any meaningful way, and then when they try it for the first time they realize one joint is no more potent than two Robaxacet.
Weed's dangers are VERY WELL understood. We have been consuming it for millenia as a people. They are simply not talked about honestly. Especially by the likes of AC on/.
I think you missed the point re directX at the time OpenGL was dog slow due to bad design of the Windows GDI. PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, DirectX was so named because it provided a new API which could bypass the GDI interface normal apps have to use in a windows environment, which at the time included OpenGL.
It was at this point I ceased doing graphics related work, but I believe this is what we were discussing at DirectX launch almost a score ago.
Dude I'm with you the whole way, but some people just don't want to think it all out. They want to know in concrete terms what it means. It seems ridiculous to them that the tools we use today will form the basis of the tools of tomorrow, right down to our DNA and particles of being.
This question is impossible to answer truthfully . This really depends on the hiring manager's style noy the supervisor or mid level manager's preference.
One has to admit, it makes sense- to a point. At some point the robots burn out too, whether by burn-out or by arson. It really doesn't matter. There is always a tipping point.
Life the universe and everything is riding a pendulum.
Obviously I simply disagree with this. The reason the US spends more than other countries is because its foreign interests are numerous (far more numerous than other NATO allies) and under constant threat. Their economy literally dwarves the next largest economy and value for defense dollar is not a linear, but an exponential equation.
A great way too put it is this: If the US has technical superiority it must continually improve to ensure that superiority. It often purchases the best technologies internally and from its allies in order to do this. This is very expensive game which must be played to ensure full theatre dominance necessary to support America's economic stability. THIS IS why US defense spending is so huge, and a major aspect of Nato quid pro quo.
It's expensive being Top Dog. If the tables were turned and say, China were in the US position, it's military spending would have similar ratio to its GDP, and it's allies might not necessarily benefit significantly from China's projection of force.
QUID PRO QUO can in no way be construed as freeloading. It's not a fair amount, it's not an equal exchange. But you are far too engaged in quibbling over semantics and fallacy to see the point. I am debating your fallacious points:
>The US also spends so much because it's allies do a fair amount of freeloading Nope, not even at all.
>. The US spends so much on the military that countries friendly to it can spend less since they count on US power making up the difference No, this where LAN party applies. The US is Rich and spends to mutual benefit of others. No one asks the US maintain a better Airforce or defense industry so they don't have to. Not even one NATO country.
>Not that the US doesn't like that situation of course - there are benefits to being needed by others after all. No one needs the US. The US spends to their own benefit, not others. It's just sort of nice turbo boost that we all benefit from the free trade their projection of defense provides

Have you gone senile? Your UID is so low it's possible you were even around for the ratification of:
Glass-Segal
Canada has healthy banking regulation similar to Glass-Segal in many respects, and suffered no such melt-down. After the repeal, the insurance and repackaging of investments to back basic banking fundamentals (previously illegal since the depression) were DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for Lehman Brothers and everything holding up the near collapse of the American investment banking industry and any company invested or embroiled in it.
I agree 100 percent. It's positively stunning the attitudes here on Slashdot towards automation. It's not like you've never replaced someone or something with a very small shell script.
Maybe we should just kill crons or an automated task we run in the background how to save an unskilled job. Burn the tape robots and Nuke the cloud.
Of course I'm being facetious but it's okay it's not the IT backyard right?
Jerslan, it's unethical data mining if the user is not informed first. There is simply nothing rational about uninformed choice to use or not to use Ubuntu considering their target audience. Most Ubuntu users are simply that and are not informed about inner privacy workings.
Its shady. Also you're not at all logical and your opinion contravenes decades of privacy protections and ethical practices.
Kindly stop your infuriating argument right now. This is quite simply unethical, and YES google is hard to use unless you can be bothered to know what you are searching for in the first place. There are literally EXABYTES of information indexed daily. How is grandma to distill the appropriate search terminology for a problem she doesn't even know about, or best case scenario heard about on Dateline.
It should be noted and configured at install time or first boot. End of story!
More like America coming over to your house and ordering fiber to your door and then paying for it. Then America gets hungry and orders pizza for all your friends at the now burgeoning LAN party. Give me a break.

Seriously Peer1's efforts are all one can ask for and I applaud their efforts to stay online during what has to be a worst case scenario for them aside from Pandemic.
>Someone making $120K whining about not making ends meet with a $1500/mo
Agreed, but this is almost certainly not the case in SF. $1500/mo gets you a one bedroom in a apt far away from work which of course means up to 500+ in commute costs per month. You and I likely don't have these problems (me being in Canada and you in the beltway).
The point is someone in Toronto/SF making 120k is not nearly as well off as someone in Ottawa/Washington making 50-80.
I definitely have some sympathy for folks in big urban centers in IT. I am certainly one of the lucky ones.
I forgot saving to survive for my retirement is entitlement. (also I already own a house thank you which is about 5-10k maintenance per year). For a family for 3 my groceries are 800$ a month, I have about 200$ a month for family entertainment at the end.

so basically, FUD.

Maybe i have too much christmas cheer in me still but how on earth would this solve the problem (and not make it actually worse)?

In a manner of speaking but i would never be truthful in that situation. Its a trap.

What part of analogy implies the relationship is nice. It sounds quid pro quo to me.
To answer your question no. It might be slightly higher but the US in no way directly protects the COMMONWEALTH.

So you entire premise relies on speculation?
