Tell that to the people whom pay their salary through taxes. If I'm to be spending my tax dollars at gunpoint...errr...I mean law, I don't want a fucking leech in the office not doing his job!!
Maybe this is a good thing in the industry. Rather then Intel and AMD having to make up for the slacking off of software developers, maybe now programmers get clean up their bloated code and write more streamlined smaller code. Simple, elegant code can be more efficient on the amount of CPU cycles needed to process the program. But as long as faster CPUs keep comming out...what the hell...let's just write the next program in basic or java. Why is joe-sixpack going to care anyways?
Smoking is the number one cause of cancer with or without asbestos involved. But if your a smoker and have been exposed to asbestos, your soon to be dead and don't know it yet. However, asbestos can still help in the effect of cancer causing agents if you're working around chemicals and live in a city with smog such as LA.
That said, in theory if you lived a hermetically sealed bubble (like bubble boy) and have been exposed to pounds of asbestos, you will not get cancer. I personally have not been involved in such studies, but it does sound reasonable when you understand how simple asbestos really is. It's nothing more then fibrous material. Yet, because it's so microscopic, it does have a nasty effect on cell walls in the effect it punctures them.
There are others too. Just google for it as "Co Carcinogen Asbestos" without the quotes.
Note: I find it sad that you can't find your own fucking sources. Your posting on slashdot yet fail to google for them yourself. That's rather...pathetic. *sigh*
Asbestos is known to be a Co-Carcinogen. That is, by itself asbestos doesn't do anything. But, if your a smoker then asbestos makes it much easer for the carcinogen agents of tabacco to slip through the cell walls and disrupting the DNS. Thus, lung cancer is 50 times more likely to happen in a smoker exposed to asbestos then not being exposed.
All in all, I think the fear of nano-particles being another co-carcinogen is justified untill further research is done.
The fact of the matter is the rest of the world (US, Europe, China, Russia...etc) doesn't really know if OPEC is telling the truth or not as to how much oil *really* is left in the ground. For all we know, there may only be 5 years left at current rate of consumption. And when looking at this from a national security standpoint, this is very very BAD.
We can't risk letting the middle east hold the US hostage to our ever-growing demand on oil. Sure, oil is clean burning when done properly with a maintained turbine or tuned engine, but it IS running out. And it is of my optionion that the Pentagon knows this. Why else would the be so frantically filling up our emergency reserves?
I'm willing to wager that we will be forced into spending more research and development on alternative fuels. And Shell and Exxon know this. I'm sure well start seeing them work on bio-fuel projects and refining them into usable plastics. Time will tell....
When I worked in an IT department, I had an employee return an old Thinkpad to me. He said the screen broke at the airport on accident. But something didn't look right. I saw three spots at an angle where the cracks started. At this point, I made a fist and brought it close to the screen. Yup...matches near perfectly. The bastard punched it.

You sir, are the fucking idiot. Go to Africa some time and you will see how common it is for girls at age 11 to get married and start having children as soon as it's biologically possible. Notice how high the AIDs epidemic is. And they won't use condoms because it doesn't "feel right". Once you're sexually active, it's like genetic behavior switch that doesn't turn off easily. Hence, they will continue to have sex over and over and over again.
Abstinence before maturity is the only proven method of birth control and preventing STD via promiscuity
Your right, sex should be open to all children. It's ok if a 13 year old girl has sex. She must explore her sexuality at a young age so she can grow up the be strong and confident....and don't worry if she get's knocked up or has STDs. The government will pay for all the abortions as a form of birth control. The question is, how does the government get all it's money?
Is your face turning red yet? I hope so, because it means your thinking.
At the last company I worked for (I won't name names) has something wrong with a PC. THey were told to backup the data off the PC by the IT department. The proposal department did so according to IT on the phone. Moments later, the PC rebooted with PIXI remotely. Then...the PC had Windows XP reinstalled from an image off the a local networked server.
Yes, this was all handled by some group in India.
It used to be an insult to say "you've been hiding upder a rock". But now, I think it's a comment. Screw civilization, it's been bastardized by those seeking to control it at the expense of the masses.
Yes siree bob...i'm finding me a BIG ROCK to hind under. But i'll still keep an eye out on the world for my own safety.;)
What happens when AI in computers become so advanced that we are no longer involved in their own programming. What if we just dictate to a computer and it programs and maintains itself automatically. Eventually, it forms its own nature form of complexity far beyond human management.
I guess at that point, we just "program" a computer through talking and exchanging ideas rather then sort through code in a methodical way like programmers having to do now.
If I Google-whack "Shampoo and ketchup" as is, I get 7 hits. Just because the search terms are found on the same page doesn't mean they are relevant to each other pertaining to a topic you're looking for.
Are the people in 3rd world being exploited? I would say no in that any work that brings food to the table is better than not having work at all. In the next few generations, those in 3rd world status will quickly become educated with experience and industry confidence to demand two bowls of rice instead of just one.
Do your history and check out Korea, Japan, Indea, and China. They are growing like mad thanks to the investment provided by technology and cash flow from the western world.
What software needs over anything else is complexity levels. For example, may the software out-of-the-box easy to use with no more then 10 features to get the basic job done. Then, once the user gets comfortable, they can get more granular options buy toggling to more advance settings.
The idea is to prevent "Feature shock" when using a new program. Yet, have it flexible enough for a user that is comfortable with a progrma and would like to explore into more option that are availabe but yet not enabled by default.
Note: ICQ takes the philosphy into account rather well with it's GUI.

It's called office politics. If you don't like the game, become self employeed. And ya...people suck ass. YOu just gotta learn to live wit it.
Oh ya, I hope that lazy-ass sysadmin get's his job pulled from underneath him!
From now on, I see Sony as Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Because it will take bills like this to reach rock-bottom before the public wakes up. Only then can we get rid of the bill and the RIAA.
FUCK IT, PASS THE FUCKING BILL. Jesus....*sigh*
Get over it, this is slashdot. Love it, or hate it.
I agree. Just because europe does it doesn't mean it's the correct way. Like wise, the methods in the US aren't the correct way for Europe.
;)
Though, communication with our closest allies is always a good thing. Make no mistake about that
Pfftttt...please *sigh*
