So, what does "inside the app" mean? If my app includes a link to a web page that opens with Safari, is that okay? What if the web page in question looks exactly like the app's interface? What if it opens in a UIWebView instead?
And how do you build a dam for the hydroelectric plant
With manual labor.
Seriously, dams are not high-tech! Besides, you don't have to build the fucking Grand Coulee or something; if you're starting from scratch you build the kind of water wheel that used to get attached to a grist mill 200 years ago, except attached to a generator instead. It's not that hard!
Um, anywhere? Hydroelectric plants, windmills (even low-tech Dutch-stereotype ones, if necessary), steam-turbine generators fueled with anything flammable (wood, trash, soybean oil, whale oil, dead bodies -- anything!)... oh yeah, or you could even just do solar thermal and skip the PV entirely.
Well excuse me! I merely read the fucking summary and somehow thought just because it said that "the ultimate goal is to replace KDE as the default desktop of PC-BSD" and that "Lumina aims to be lightweight, stable, fast-running, and FreeDesktop.org/XDG compliant," that meant the point was to make something better for the public, not merely to "have fun" or "learn" something.
Clearly, your reading comprehension skills are so far beyond mine that you were able to determine the "real" ultimate goal of the project despite the summary explicitly saying something completely different. I'm so goddamn sorry I deigned to participate in the conversation, when my ideas so pale in comparison to your obvious brilliance!
Okay, but when you've torn everything down and started over from scratch twenty-plus times already, maybe that stops being the right development methodology?
Obama is a legit President, not like Nixon, Ford, Regan, Bush I & II and Clinton...Obama isn't perfect but he's not illuminati.
You've got to be kidding me. Doing exactly the opposite of pretty much everything he promised during his campaign (close Guantanamo, not kowtow to lobbyists, improve environmental regulations, etc.) is hardly "legit!"
Obama stretches decisions bad for the Oligarchary out over time...he doesn't fire Sebelius when all the media heat is on it happens after...the Keystone XL pipeline is another example...
Sebelius fucked up, and her fuck-ups damaged Obama's agenda. Failing to replace her immediately accomplished nothing except giving Republicans an extra talking point and revealing how much Obama sucks as a manager.
"Left" means social authoritarianism. "Right" means corporate authoritarianism. Those of us who care in the slightest about freedom are fucked either way.
The FCC wanted to do B without C, so they claimed "ISPs are not common carriers, so we don't have to do C. ISPs are common carriers, so we're going to do B". That's ridiculous, you can't say they ARE common carriers and NOT common carriers at the same time. Therefore, the FCC can't make up net neutrality laws.
The FCC should just fucking go ahead and do C (i.e., make ISPs common carriers)!
if we can prove that something is true or false, and a religion teaches the opposite, then the religion should be updated. People make mistakes, we're only human, right?
But according to cargo-cult Christians (i.e., fundamentalist "religious-right" types), the Bible is the "literal Word of God" and therefore cannot be wrong (even when it's self-contradictory).
There's a big difference between someone who doubts the big bang because they evidence isn't conclusive and it's just the best hypothesis we have right now and someone who doubts the big bang because an 1700 year old book says a sky man created the earth in 7 days.
Clearly, the survey used the wrong terminology. It should have asked something like "do you disbelieve (or maybe, "reject") these theories?"
I'm not sure what you mean. I was just working with what those upthread had written (an analogy where IT worker productivity was being compared to algorithmic complexity).
In the article (by the economist, which is usually pretty decent) it compares how currently the higher you go in the income scale, the more you work.
To a point, that is. The article talks a lot about college-educated knowledge workers (i.e., the upper-middle class), but it conspicuously fails to mention how many hours C-level executives etc. (i.e., the actual "rich") work.
This strikes me as a case of "this new generation sucks a lot" which we roll through every 20 years or so. The WW2 generation said the same thing about the Boomers...
Linear time should be expected (if it takes longer per ticket when there are more, thats bad, but non-polynomial, thats just horrid)
Log(time) is neither polynomial nor horrid (and also achievable by a really good IT person, since frequent similar problems should start getting solved more efficiently or permanently).
If you don't like Comcast, switch to satellite or cut the cord and use the internet.
I did "cut the cord," so now I complain about Comcast's rates on Internet service. There is no alternative (I live in an older neighborhood with shitty copper, just far enough from the Wi-Max towers to fail to get a signal).

Whatever; that's not important. The important thing is that both "sides" are authoritarian.
Hey, you know what they say: if something's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!
(Also, in retrospect, the tongue-in-cheek didn't translate to text as successfully as the sarcasm.)

What?
We started at that point. This country was founded by people who would nowadays be libeled* as "terrorists," remember?
Maybe it's about time for the "tree of liberty" to be refreshed.

Including your "neighbors" two states away that hate everything about your ideology?

Perhaps they're hoping to startle Amazon et al. into filing amicus briefs in their favor.

So every app with more than one window (or mode) is too complex?
This is Slashdot. There is no schema (even in Beta)!
That's like saying O(n log n) is not greater than O(n). While it may technically be true, the reason we care is that it's also much less than O(n).
