We may be able to pull off, literally, a 1 minute burst of activity near our max heart rate. The problem is being able to do 10 of those with only 1 minute of rest in between.
Funny, yes, but this is roughly what I do. Hotmail has a setting to send all email to your junk folder. I have that enabled then whitelist any individual email addresses that I do actually care to see. Since I had such an issue with spam on this account, I now use it exclusively for places I expect to get spammed from. Web forums, and various other non-trustworthy sources. Helps keep my real accounts clean since there's no cross pollination.
First, sleep with the -3 Flamebait Second, complain about Mr. Flamebait to +5 Funny Third,enjoy the look of utter dejection on Mr. Funny's face when you tell him you've met +4 Insightful and are getting married.
+5 Funny will become the new -3 Flamebait and +4 Insightful is now off the market (unless he's double dipping on adult friend finder)
Not to mention their frequent use of (car...) bombs...
And while I'm on programming jokes, here's some quick 'n' dirty perl code I whipped up: @it = grep { is_idiotic($_) || is_ineffective($_) } @doj_memos;
This will be an ongoing issue that will require massive amounts of vigilance.
I thought this was one of the very basic requirements of democracy. You don't EVER get to sit back and let the thing run itself. It requires constant vigilance on the part of the people to make it work. Maybe things have been too good for too long and people forgot this fact.
There's nothing wrong with a little self-satisfaction when you're able to make your voice heard. The victories show you the system can work. Use it to give you the energy for the next fight.
Germany, I know you were itching for some Lebensraum a few years back. Well, have you seen how much room we have over here? You could stretch your legs from here to eternity! And many of us are of German descent, so you could play that angle too!
It's reasonable to hit all the pages at random, but the results should be weighted by the popularity of the page. That would be a better measure of how good crowd-sourcing is at solving these types of problems. Including the low-popularity pages in the results is important to this because it covers another issue with crowd-sourcing--it takes at least three to make a crowd. If wikipedia's breadth gets too large, the crowd sourcing method breaks down since there's nobody looking at most pages. It brings the credibility of many pages into question as a result.
Exactly. Though I didn't make that point explicitly, access to my data on my device by my company would not be acceptable either. The difference is, that would fall under my responsibility. I wouldn't just blindly trust them that they made their apps behave themselves and not look at my data. I would need to make sure they don't have access to anything I don't want them to access. I don't have the will or desire to go to those lengths for the privilege of paying to work from my own device.
Incidentally, I do have this set up for work access on my home computer. I have a clean VM with Windows installed that I use to VPN to my work connection. It provides that sandbox where my company can do whatever it deems necessary for their network security (AV installs, software audits, etc, etc) but have no access to my personal machine. Either of us can decide to remove access with no loss of anything valuable.
My company has this policy, but I won't use it for one very simple reason: You have to agree to a clause that allows them to remote wipe your device. If it was truly a work device, this would be fine as it's theirs to do with as they please. It's my responsibility to keep whatever personal information I need backed up in a safe place. I'd probably still have my own personal device for personal photos/email/music/etc. For a device that I own and pay for, this is not acceptable.
If the work access was appropriately sandboxed such that they could wipe only, for example, an encrypted partition of the SD card where the apps are installed and store their data, then I might be on board. Companies consider their data valuable, but I consider mine valuable too. And just like they won't give me root access to their servers, I won't give them root access to my phone/tablet/pc either.
We had that at my high school too. I started programming when I was 9, so by high school I was pretty well versed in Basic and C and had quite a bit more experience than my teacher (he was a young math teacher who took a couple pascal classes in college). The same was true for a number of other students in the class. After the first week or two, he gave us a permanent exemption from the standard coursework, and as long as we were working on some sort of programming project we would get an A. He would check in with each of us once a week or so and have us show him what we were doing and what kinds of things we had discovered, etc. It ended up being a pretty educational and entertaining course because of that flexibility.
It would reduce a major form of funding, but there will still be a market in human trafficking and other activities. It will help, but it won't put them out of business.
I like how the article is titled "Two decades of productivity" and the picture is of vim opened from a shell launched within vim. No shots of nicely formatted and highlighted code. Just a shot of the kind of crap you try to do when you're bored.
And thanks in part to the anti-vaccination folks, some of those are making a bit of a comeback. Whooping cough and measles are the ones our pediatrician mentioned.
As I understand it, a typical broadband connection is an SD card strapped to a sheep. You get great bandwidth, but the latency is really high. And given the absorbency of the wool, you frequently lose packets when crossing the sea to the mainland.
Simply knowing my postal code or birth date is meaningless without a name to associate it with.
One thing they're missing is that in the vast majority of cases, a zip code and birth date is enough info to uniquely identify a person. While I dislike google's policy of real names only, getting rid of that won't make you anonymous. There is still likely plenty of info associated with your profile that could be uniquely matched to you if somebody was inclined to look.
Let's not forget this Merchant of Death has blood on his hands. While he was racking up millions of miles in his aluminum skinned ivory tower, this DEALER was peddling steel coffins to the poor and unfortunate souls who braved the gauntlet of traffic EVERY DAY to get where they need to go. MILLIONS have died while he coursed through the skies in near-perfect safety. While he may fancy himself a god, pulling his chariot through the sky, he may find himself an Icarus treading too close to the sun. Repent your sins, sir. Cast off your vainglorious ways. Walk the earth with your fellow man, that you may know him better. Leave behind the dark road paved in misery and death. Step into the light. Salvation is at hand!

It is definitely metaphysics in the academic/philosophical sense.
However, metaphysics has come to colloquially refer to things like mysticism, spiritualism, etc.

So these scientists were studying the science of physics itself, at some higher abstract level.
Does that mean this research is metaphysics?

He designed it to the same extent that some people design software. But that probably says more about the coders than him...

As you said, he's a spammer. People in the market for spamming services probably value asshats over nice guys that follow the rules.

Did they factor in how much of that extra 3 years is due to the time dilation of moving closer to the speed of light than a sedentary person?
I just can't take this study seriously if they're going to gloss over obvious issues like this one.
Roman numerals? Then how did you terminate your strings?!
I assume they're building it on the site of the old Tower of Babel, as a memorial to those who lost their lives there some 6000 years ago...
