Those mandatory locks are not POSIX. Thus number of cases where they actually add value are small. Traditionally, Linux advocates POSIX interfaces and defacto standards. In this vein, for the vast majority of use cases, alternative co-operative locking is by far preferred and as an advantage, you entirely avoid the cluster fuck that is file locking under Windows.
Their attempt to build an economical, reusable spaceship resulted in an overpriced money-sink that required a complete rebuild at every launch and ate $700 million every time it lifted off.
You're conflating NASA with Congress. There is a difference. The vast, vast majority of everything negative about NASA today, and why its in such a shape, is specifically because of Congress.
The shuttle that flies today, aside from being a lifting body, has nothing to do with what NASA originally designed and fought to build. Congress, and by extension lobbying from NSA and the Air Force, is what made the shuttle a cluster fuck. Sorry, but any blame for the cluster fuck that is the space shuttle does not belong with NASA, but rather the NSA, the USAF, and most definitely, the US Congress.
CNC machines are infinitely practical. Not so with Robo Sapiens. The fact you don't understand such a basic concept speaks wonders for your entire theory and line of thinking.
Everything from games, equipment panels,jewelry, to cases, to glasses, to boxes, hobbyist equipment and components (car, plane, heli; including portions of airframes), to you name it, can be created with this category of equipment. Whereas with a Robo Sapiens, all you can do it make a costly puppet move.
To say they are comparable in the least is to espouse stupidity. But I suspect you already knew that given you posted anonymously.
I completely agree with this. A very clear cut case of murder by cop. They didn't even try to help the poor guy. They treated him as a terrorist to the bitter end.
Sadly, people have watched far too much TV where they constantly see cell phones and radios used without question in situations where they commonly, absolutely, would never world. These situations occur in shows ranging from 24, to CSI, to SG1, and everything in between. As such, people have a false expectation for technology to magically work when in reality, its pure ignorance to remotely hope.
Even beyond the technical problems, the problems are largely social. Investigate why they have such massive turnover in politics these days. Its the same reasons the entire situation exists at all. As such, I have little doubt, by extension, these same problems also hider a technological response - at least to some degree.
80% of the evil on earth stems from, "Fuck you buddy! Where's mine?" The fact its ignorantly executed speaks to the quality of humanity as a whole, not to the motivation for doing so.
First of all, kudos for being intelligent enough to realize there isn't a "one way" to raise every child. The fact you're on/. makes such insight rather scarce. You're a rarity on/. these days.
Count your blessings with your kids. Both of my step children are now grown and out of the house. To date, the only way either of them learn is from life spanking their ass. As a parent its sad and disappointing.
There are a lot of ways to discipline kids. Some parents are lucky. My own step kids only EVER responded to a paddle or belt. You could literally just finished sitting down, having discussed their behavior, and they would immediately turn around and do it again. We literally had family counseling who told us to try everything we had already tried; only this time it would work because it was their idea (which, of course, it didn't).
In the end, the only thing that worked was a spanking. Sadly, the world seems to be full of dysfunctional people who can only learn by being run over by life. It literally seems like a mental disorder. Having said that, some parents are very lucky and need never resort to such behavior modification methods. Sad but true.
Including the other poster, you've now been told the same thing TWICE in addition to the fact that deep down you KNOW its true. PHP attracts the lowest common denominator of programmers. That's not to say better programs don't know the language but the fact remains, the vast majority of PHP users, and in fact the category of programmer it caters to is the low-end, bone-head, wanna-be coder who doesn't know his ass from his keyboard.
Beyond that, your example is dumb. Its literally the same thing as saying, "I don't go telling professionals they suck therefore you should tell people sucking they suck." WTF?! Your counter makes absolutely no sense.
While the government's monitoring of our thoughts may be the archetypical Orwellian intrusion,
The really sad thing is that, while that judge seemingly had a well rounded education, many schools no longer even consider teaching with Orwell's 1984. Presumably this is because the governments have decided teaching critical thinking about liberty is likely to lead to thought crimes. In another generation or so we'll very likely begin to have judges who have no such frame of reference and therefore have no clue as to the potential danger to society such contrary rulings may impose.
It does once the feedback loop becomes complete. At least with VB, those developers were not contributing back to the language. The same can not be said for PHP.
Seems like an extremely poor evangelist. Lets see, you can believe God created the heavens and the Earth. You can believe God created man. But you also believe believe God CAN'T mutate man? God's powers are literally infinite except, of course, he lacks the ability to mutate and/or genetically manipulate man. WTF?!? The inability to use critical thinking here is astounding.
Impossible to look at this story as reporting on either extremely poor evangelists, scientists, or both.
PHP developers are VB developers of yesteryear. Few actually understand what it is they do. Most are perfectly capable of creating serious security flaws - which they do on a regular basis. PHP projects seem to always be at the top of the list of security vulnerabilities. Its only in small part a PHP language problem. The primary problem is that PHP attracts a certain type of inferior programmer, just like VB used to. As a result, you wind up with inferior programmers creating inferior projects and eventually providing inferior contributions to PHP, making it an inferior language.
At the end of the day, you and your projects will be better off by simply avoiding PHP and PHP programmers altogether. Of course, people who actively seek out inferior programmers for their project says a lot about the nature of those people and associated projects.
Technically I am exactly correct. In many states it is illegal to sue police personally without first suing the police department, winning a judgement, and then meeting many other extremely unreasonable conditions. Basically, it is illegal to sue police in many states. The burden makes it almost impossible.
The problem is not parents absolutely refuse to discipline their kids. As a result, most parents raze absolutely piece of shit kids. Next, parents started suing schools to prevent them from disciplining their piece of shit kids. So now schools have exactly one trick left - police.
Ya, the police and courts are constantly fucking things up here but the bottom line is, the MAJORITY of parents are ultimately the issue. And sadly, its frequently not the real trouble makers which get real punishment as a result. Go to a PTA meeting some time. You'll quickly figure out who the total piece of shit parents are, who are destroying society, so little johnny can express himself to the detriment of the entire world.
First and foremost, the problem is with parents who insist on being their kid's friend rather than their parent. Find the parents who treat their kids like friends and you've identified 95% of the problem.
The fact that you're confused between revolutionaries and founding fathers and thumping your chest about it wonderfully highlights just how far down slashdot has fallen. There is a world of difference between "founding father" and revolutionaries. The so fucking disgusting and pathetic you don't know the difference.
your presence here is making the community worse, please leave
Please understand what it is you said. Now realize you are projecting and that slashdot absolutely would be better if you left. So yes, please leave. Its probably your only chance to ever make the world a better place.
of course you could sue the police just as easily as you can sue the school, so this explanation doesn't make much sense.
Not so. In many states (Texas being one of them), it is illegal to personally sue police. This means you can ONLY ever sue the police department, and ONLY if you get the nod from a judge. I mean, WTF?!? You seriously expect the police to be held accountable for their actions like the very people they are paid to police. How dare you!
Actually i'm torn on this. Yes freedom of speech is great but as someone who was hit on by a not very attractive female teacher at 14 as well as watched a friend trade sex for grades with said teacher there is actually sometimes where you DO need to "think of the children" because one forgets how much power a teacher can wield over a student.
Oh bullshit. This is possibly one of the dumbest things I've read here in a while - which says a lot!
You mean people should think of the children but YOU can't think of yourself and your friend? You see, this is one of those cases where you publicly admit you're really fucking stupid.If you can't be bothered to think of yourself or your friend, then by your own admission, no one else should be thinking of yourself or your friend.
By your own admission, the situation was of so little consequence that on one should give it a second thought but its so significant EVERYONE's free speech should be destroyed.
I'm guessing you have some sort of mental illness.
This wonderfully illustrates what's wrong with people these days. ITS YOUR FUCKING JOB TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. PERIOD!!!! If you can't be bothered to take person responsibility, especially about something which affects and tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of society, they why the fuck should the entire world suffer because you're too fucking stupid and/or lazy to do the right thing? Oh I see - perhaps you're just too fucking dumb and lazy, which at the end of the day means you should go fuck yourself until you figure out that first and foremost, YOU are the problem. I bet if YOU and people LIKE YOU fixed the problem, the entire problem would go away. But nooooo - its easier to be dumb and lazy and make everyone else suffer for your stupidity.
God bless America and dumb fucking selfish piece of shit people like you.
That's why all successful companies both invest in R&D and marketing during the worst economic times. Historically, those that don't, either go out of business or are simply non-competitive during the good economic times. Historically, companies who fail to invest in R&D (new product development, depending on company) and marketing during economic down turns are also signaling of either a dire economic situation or extremely poor management. In either case, if they can't or won't invest, neither should you.
Slashdot Mirror
Not only that, but reporting the spam there requires full headers which are not available on a forum posting.
(Andriod comes close if you could even call it Java still).
We don't. Its not.
Android's use of Java and UI's have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Your reference is neither applicable or relevant.

I would say it stems from envy rather than a lack of empathy.
The combination is frequently what was call sociopaths. Or more commonly referred to as titans of industry.

Google have probably donated billions of dollars to Israel.
This is, of course, an idiotic statement.
Israel's security exists only as a result of US funding.
This is, completely true. The US provides most of its aid to Israel and Egypt. Admittedly, I wouldn't say, "only." "Largely", is far more accurate.
