Sorry, but I really don't understand the appeal of "style" when purchasing a computer. A computer is a tool, and I would no sooner buy a stylish computer than I would buy a stylish hammer or stylish nails.
Of course, you're entitled to your opinion.
And it is not as if the resources used for going into space make that great of a impact on the ability of India to educate its population. In economic terms, there isn't that great of a cost of space missions, because the resources that go into them can't really easily go anywhere else.
The main resource that space missions use up is money. Of course this money would be much better spent on education, health and infrastructure.
It is good that India and China are competing through science, and not through arms. Honestly, I don't see how this could be a bad thing for anyone.
There's no real difference. It was no coincidence that the space race reached a peak during the cold war. Space technologies have obvious military applications - having advanced space technologies means that a nation can deliver ICBMs more reliably and accurately. This project isn't much more than military R&D to intimidate not only China, but Pakistan.
Hate the game, not the playa. If the recall system is so easily abused, then all these Democrats should have done something about it before now. Considering it's been around since the 20s, they had all the time in the world.
If these machines really are insecure, then the John Hopkins researchers should just hack themselves into the Governor's office. Then it would be a simple matter to introduce better voting machines.
At least that's what the
National Geographic and the
NPR articles conclude. It's easier to swallow than the idea of a chimp and a gorilla getting it on.
I might add that most social problems are only hurt by greater spending. We don't need more $$$ in worthless programs... we need more PEOPLE who can care for other PEOPLE and form a lasting relationship and help them.
So, tell me, where do you find these PEOPLE who help other PEOPLE for free?
Yeah, but wouldn't "accidental casualties" be even clearer than "collateral damage"? After all, most people (including myself) don't know that collateral = accidental.
Suppose your drive dies and it has personal information on it, and you can't recover the drive. What's the simplest and most effective way to wipe the data on the drive so you can throw it out?
Lots of people out there, particularly those living in island nations, have to suffer with real piracy. Why, in the last 6 months alone, there have been 234 pirate attacks. Using "piracy" to mean copyright infringement is insensitive.
Avast, me hearties! I'll slice your throats unless you give us your...um...books. Seriously, why use the term "piracy"? What's wrong with IP theft"? Not sensationalist enough?
Now, academic texts aren't likely to fuel a roaring black market trade.
Of course they will! Textbooks are one of the few types of book that people are forced to buy. And students are usually both pov and tech-savvy. The added benefit of having an electronic version of a textbook on CD rather than lugging around a textbook would actually be a big advantage.
Not only would voice destroy the ROLE PLAYING element
Voice chat wouldn't necessarily "destroy the role playing" element, as people could just talk funny or something. What *would* destroy the role playing element, however, would be stuff like hearing Britney Spears being played in the background.
Slashdot is nowhere near one of the "largest content delivery systems on the net", you idiot. It's a news site with a bunch of comments. It's basically a big-ass bulletin board.

No, because I don't put my computer or it's desk on the same level as any of them. If you do, seek help.

as all of Nasa's recent missions have been outsourced to India anyway...

I'm not too sure if chimeras have mutant giners. But I'm interested to find out!
Really? I prefer fava beans and a nice chianti.
Funny you should say that, cause the Slashdot editors seem to have about the same grasp of grammar and spelling as your typical 419 scammer.
Now the leprechauns can escape to other countries!
Dude, wait for all the extra info in the dupes.
Because the L in LAN stands for local. Virginia ain't that small.

is that you? Oh yeah, STFU troll.

So, what evidence do you have America's replacement regime will be any better? Or are you just naive?

I think slashdot should have voice chat. Imagine hearing people yell fr1st p0st.
