Got news for you, before WWII, our solders pointed broomsticks at cars ("tanks") and said, "eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh", to simulate firing an imaginary weapon. During WWI, gunners trained by using their finger and pointing at imaginary targets while spinning in a swivel chair. The US absolutely did NOT become a super power until after the close of WWII. And in large part, that was thanks to the Germans (including Nazis) absorbed by the US.
Common sense is not so common. In fact, its so uncommon to easily proclaim, it doesn't exist. Likewise, people who appeal to, "common sense", probably don't have any.
No, it was never released. Or I should say, if it has, I sure never read anything about it and I've been watching and looking. One thing I can tell you I'm absolutely sure of, if they have proof of collusion behind the economic meltdown, without a doubt, all roads lead to Goldman Sachs.
Since CEOs are not in jail and the public doesn't have torches in hands, either Wikileaks lied or something else entirely happened. Regardless, allowing for a cooling down period is good for the guilty, good for Wikileaks, if they are hoping to extort, and bad for everyone else. So again, the original point remains.
But that means the complaint is entirely baseless. Which is why I was asking for clarification because everyone I look at, his post completely looks like an entirely baseless troll.
I honestly don't mean to offend, but our society is completely screwed up when we now are being politically correct about the most mundane things, such as which scifi reference is acceptable; ST vs ST:TNG. I'm most definitely getting on my soapbox now.
If someone was offended by the selection of one, regardless of which one, would we really care? I mean, wouldn't we have identified a serious loser who likely should be marginalized anyways?
I'm sure you honestly didn't give it a second thought when you wrote that, but that's entirely the point. Many (most?) have been brainwashed into being hyper politically correct at all costs.
I'm sorry, but had you selected one over the other and anyone was offended, they can go fuck themselves. And if you don't care about my soapbox, *I choose* to not be offended. More power to you!!! Good for you! I completely support that! But then again, I've not been brainwashed.
Can you elaborate some on that statement? I've been a long time firefox user and have never had an add-on broken except when transitioning between major releases. And even then, it was because the pluin author simply hadn't ported it yet.
For an enterprise, this is all standard operating procedure. Meaning, validation that everything is available and supported on a new release should happen every time. If it doesn't, someone either isn't doing their job of they don't understand what, "enterprise", means.
No, its official. Superpaks are now officially, "anonymous" legalized bribes. They are anonymous in that WE THE PEOPLE have no right to know who is doing the bribing whereas those receiving the bribes absolutely do know. We only have the right to know they have been bribed. And that's according to law.
No ifs, ands, or buts, any politician which a superpak, has one for the sole purpose of being bribed. Its their hat in the ring, with a wink and a nod of saying, "I'm for sale. What's your best offer?"
Say what you want about wikileaks but they understood media/marketing. Releasing so much stuff so frequently makes it difficult for the media to absorb and create a media frenzy, which is the only way the plebes ever even hear about stuff like this.
That used to be true. Its not longer true. The largest media outlets created data warehousing applications which allow them to not only comb through these large data releases, but allows them to locate and follow trails of subject matter in which they are interested. It even allows them to discover sub topics, and so on.
Literally, if these groups claim they are not releasing all of their information because media can't digest it, its a lie and is only self serving.
Anyone else notice a lot of shit which Wikileaks was suppose to release was never released in spite of the fact people are still manning the shop? Wikileaks existed solely to benefit, blackmail, extort, and steal information. The fact the information was never released seems to hint it was sold to the highest bidder. Otherwise, according to their claims, a lot of CEOs should be jail by now.
However, your point about the schizophrenic management is correct; since then he's worked on X-33, X-34, Ares I, and Ares V guidance/control systems/simulations, with effectively nothing to show for it.
If anything, that only validates how extremely poorly run NASA is. The fact they want to create a guidance system for any specific craft is stupid, expensive, and extremely wasteful, especially knowing full well how schizophrenic major projects like that are.
Had they actually wanted to do what's right rather than just burn USD, they would have many projects completely distinct from projects like the X-33, X-34, Ares I, and Ares V, and so on. Its not like guidance is actually distinct. They all require guidance. A single, re-usable guidance system should be developed. This would actually save massive tax dollars and only require minor adaptation for specific application, be it X-33, X-34, Ares I, and Ares V, or whatever.
NASA needs to die because they purposely do everything they can to poorly manage their available resources just so they can justify an ever growing budget.
Keep in mind, I'm a massive supporter of NASA, but I extremely tired of all the purposeful waste for the sole purpose and waste.
You are correct. Its well understood, even by theologians that there is little proof outside of religious circles Jesus ever existed. Most of the argument that Jesus never existed is the fact that most of the cities of the era did a pretty good job of documenting events. And if someone of Jesus' supposed stature were to visit its extremely likely there would be at least a passing reference to him. Consistently, wherever they look, they never find a reference of his visits which strongly implies he never existed.
But boarding passes don't have uniquely identifying hardware addresses which physically travel with the passenger, regardless of the airport and/or other locations of interest.
In a nut shell, this has absolutely nothing to do with customer service. That's just an uninteresting artifact of their tracking scheme.
nobody has a list of those 235 patents that Microsoft owns and that Linux supposedly infringes
Sometime back I read a posting of what people believed to be the likely offending patents - on Groklaw?! Sorry been a while. Of those, all but a dozen were immediately thrown out either because they really didn't apply, prior art was extremely obvious, or it was believed there was an extremely high likelihood the patent would be thrown out or not applicable if put to the test. Of what remained, the majority was believed at the time were probably were not valid patents but it would prove to be extremely expensive to put that to the test. And then finally, what remained of those were only a couple of patents whereby some argued they had teeth and others yet argued they likely didn't, but would be expensive to argue.
So in a nutshell, of that 235, likely less than a half dozen or so might keep anyone up at night. And of those, only a tiny fraction or likely of any serious concern. But of course, it only requires one to sink its teeth in.
Microsoft does not do what everyone else does - or at least didn't used to. Microsoft got as big as it did because it got very lucky, IBM fucked up, and they used illegal, frequently unethical practices to maintain and grow. That does not describe most companies. Hell, Microsoft really is a piss poor technology company but that are one of the world's best marketing companies.
Furthermore Microsoft has a long history of playing nice and the completely fucking over whoever is dumb enough to take them at their word. Don't blink or turn your back on them for a second unless you're a complete idiot.
In a nut shell, you are both completely ignorant of the topic and extremely nieve.
I completely agree. The undertones in the video is extremely profound.
Microsoft is the big boy is has always been nice. Linux is a child trying to break Microsoft completely out of the blue. Linux is small but plays games to elevate themselves to the same level as Microsoft. Linux can't stand toe to toe with Windows so it has to sneak around in the shadows and only gets to eat what Microsoft gives them.
"Derp", is right. The fact this isn't obvious is pretty sad.
Translation for others like you who have learning disabilities. The need for a runway has nothing to do with anything. Wow, that sounds like I've heard it before. Perhaps you have a reading comprehension issues too.
Exactly right! Mythbusters is purely for entertainment. Both of those guys readily admit it. There simply isn't enough time in a day to properly and stringently follow the scientific method for the shows they must pump out. As such, they rarely are very scientific.
IMOHO, aside from the basic entertainment value provided by Mythbusters, their primary merit is that it allows people to understand they can apply some of the lessons learned from their science class to solve and/or explore real world problems, even if you don't rigorously apply the scientific method in doing so. Science can be fun. That message alone is worth something.
Thinking of Mythbusters as uneducated entertainment is a must. They get far more wrong then right. Frequently its completely bad science. Commonly they reproduce something which is well documented to have happened and their "validation" is somehow anything other than confirmed.
If you ever watch Mythbusters expecting good science, you're doing it wrong. Mythbusters is entertainment clothed in a lab coat.
This is slashdot. Moderation based on merit ended many years ago. I constantly see factually accurate and completely valid posts moderated to -1 while complete idiocy sits at +5 Insightful. Its literally an every day occurrence.
Now people moderate because its politically correct, or more often than not (the norm), because it validates their own personal opinion, in spite of the fact their opinion if verifiably wrong. Ignorance and political correctness prevails on slashdot everyday.
One has nothing to do with the other. The fact you think it does is extremely weird.
With your completely insane and illogical definition, many helicopters are not helicopters. Yes, that's right, when many helicopters are fully loaded, operate at high altitude, or operate in hot/humid environments,they too require a runway for take off. Here is a training video so you can see what it looks like. Hmmm. Very airplane-like. So its settled - helicopters are no longer helicopters. That's for enlightening us.
A number of months back I was trolled and trolled moderated at the very concept that anyone other than developers are typically responsible for late releases and buggy products. I fully expect a large number of people here literally had no clue your post was anything but serious - except for the fact it has been moderated funny.
Terminal velocity is what you want then. Sorry, just very jaded on slashdot these days as most people go out of their way to troll while being genuinely and playing ignorant.

Of course, implication is hardly proof.

This is slashdot. He must state the obvious so it allows him to feel smart. Life likely reminds him to the contrary on a daily basis.

In my text books, it was Vmax. Likely because Vterminal is needlessly longer.
