So?
The hindus, muslims, ghanans, sioux, french, communists, jews, nazis, and killer bees from africa all did the exact same thing. *Someone* is going to take over. The question is, who do want to run the show.
Your brain is so fucking slow that you're just now formulating your opinion? I knew what your opinion (and those of those like you) was on September 11, 2001.
Of course ray-guns are easier to make in space! We have the plethora of examples from science fiction to draw from. However, the number of space-tachyo-neutrin-trek-babble eapons used on earth, even in movies, comic books, and tv shows combined is vastly more limiting.
Why must we -not- weaponize space simply? Having the power to vote in America, I am deliberately abstaining from participating in the process.
My numero uno criteria used to decide whether or not to use a software product when evaluting (usually open source) is whether it uses a wiki for documentation.
If it does, I do not investigate that product any further.
Then we need to pull the rug out from under the ISS, because it's not doing what it was meant to do. All it will ever amount to is a few beaurocrats waving to kids forced to watch their broadcasts at school.
Surely John Glenn realizes that his own orbital forays were just a waste of time and money when the real objective then was to get to the moon. Not to mention the completely pointless Gemini program.
And besides, we've already been there. It's not like any of the scientists who actually knew how to build a rocket to get to the moon are still alive.
no offense, but those dudes in basements wouldn't even *have* computers if Bill Gates or someone like him didn't get filthy rich selling the software before hand.
Every single business in the world is a family business, if you go back 81 years or so. But maybe you haven't heard, the last member of the Disney family was ousted from the Disney Corporation's Board of Directors in the past year. While it's a family business, the family doesn't have a controlling share anymore. Just like other "family businesses" including Coca-Cola, AT&T, and General Electric. Which are all controlled by a small group of majority shareholders. Even the 401K plans are controlled by a small group of investors and managers who make billions off of your borrowed money.
If the only part of a product that is manufactured in the U.S. is its logo, and the only Americans employed by the company are it's board of directors and CEO, is it really an American product by and American company?
He's dead wrong though. The internet exists because it uses standard protocols: TCP/IP & DNS, (as do the majority of applications: SMTP, HTTP, etc.) If you fragment, it'll disappear. Morse Code created the telegraph network. Not the other way around. Not that there was anything special about those dots and dashes, but because it was accepted as a standard by all the various vendors & end users in their day.
We've had connectivity for decades (the internet was built on the back of 28.8, 9600, and even 300 baud modems.) The tecnology rises to meet the applications' needs, and the applications are created when there's a reliable market. Unfortunately, the trusts have gotten ahold of things. They would love to see everyone using Kazaa or Morpheus or Napster and trading music they release rather than creating and distributing their own on a common network. They love SPAM, because they can't wait to let you onto their "secure" private email network where all ads must be designed by Madison Avenue firms, and they get a sliver of each pie in your face. They hate open protocols like SIP, but they don't really fear it, because they control the routers and firewall and know that it's only a matter of time before they can squeeze TCP/IP out of existence, through legislation, through junk traffic, and through proprietary apps & content.
Do you know Haskell (or Ocaml), or know anybody who does? There sure seem to be alot of people who recommend these (and other) silver bullet oddball languages with no users for it to be hard to find practicioners of them.
Oh my!
In going beyond Object Oriented Programming, she has managed to re-invent constructs that OOP was meant to replace. Subroutines, and even lowly "if" statements have a place in programming. And what's more, they need to be constructs even more heavyweight than objects.
Sun really is trying to sell hardware!
I can't wait for the next advanced programming abstraction of registers and gates. I'm sure there will be a market for distributed, clustered, logic servers, and several competing (standard) XML schemas for ANDsm OSs, XORs, NOTs, and MAYBENOTs.
I can't wait for version 1.5, where goto jumps will be implemented via Inversion of Control in an Aspect Oriented Framework!
Seriously, what bugs
What if I choose not to accept his creative commons license and go buy the book (or check it of from a library?) Then I fall under the more lenient standard copywrite laws where I can do anything commercial with the work, as long as I don't copy it. Fan fiction, music inspired by, and other derivative works are all perfectly legal, even if done for profit. I can use his character's name, or steal his plot for my movie. As long as I don't do both.
Huh?
I got mod points today, and I was going to moderate, but there's no 'alternate reality' selection. Offtopic seems misleading, even though also accurate.
what the hell are you talking about? We invented revolutions here (same place you are, America), The guillotine was invented to prove that there are *worse* things than kings. There has never been a million Frenchmen lined up in one place, although if there were, it would become a riot. In America we (that's you and me) invented a way so that a million people can have their voices heard without rioting. It's worked so well, that we've had the longest running continuous government in history. Sure, it's getting thin now, but that's a result of the people's will, not an aristocrasy. We (you and I) get what we deserve, and blaming aristocrats or idolizing frogs (that's Canadian for French) doesn't change that.
All this talk about "needing a union" as a result of this outsourcing leads me to a conspiracy theory. If you follow the money, where does it go? That's right, your compassionate liberals have lost their union base (apart from the government, which, though nominally run by "conservatives" is made up entirely of card carrying "liberal" union-members.) So the coporate outsourcing trend is more than 2 parts fearmongering (you can tell, because it's in the media, an exclusive liberal medium) to try to drum up support for unions, which transfers directly to liberal political funds.
I hope this rant was incoherent enough, in true conspiracy fashion, for your liking.
Probably 1 in 1000 Indians has the *opportunity* to attend a technical college, or college with a technical degree. The ratio in America is about 1 in 2.
*yawn*
Was the "e-myth" or some similar book on Oprah's list or is it part of some MLM scam required purchase kit? Because there are way too many people spouting that stuff these days.
The difference is that instead of having your TCP/IP stack parse packets, and your login program authenticate, you have to write other programs to parse your firewall logs to do the exact same thing.

No, but people don't claim GM provides "free" seatbelts, tires, or stereo systems.

Smalltalk was well ahead of its time. And then the 80s came and went. It's ancient now, and still mostly useless. People still *use* Pascal though.

"universal" and "nonexistant" are not mutually exclusive in many countries.
No, rights aren't arbitrary. Look up the word under "Declaration of Independence."

I believe Access locks the entire database for writes too. Just like any other regular file.
