MySpace is a piece of shit. It really is. They are sailing on an enormous userbase and haven't done a damn thing with the site. They are fat and lazy.
Let them squirm a little while. Will you suffer? No. Will anyone other than MySpace's fifty employees suffer? No. Will they suffer for more than a month? No.
You have your own store of data that doesn't require the internet. You can write about stuff in drafts and post it online when you find internet access. You have a photo storage/editing platform. You can watch movies / play games on the train. You can make Skype calls. Etc.
you'll always see the type with a laptop, they tend to sit in the corner of the hostel rec. room and tap away at their laptop, completely missing out on interacting with fellow travellers
If you do this, you'd be reading a book anyway and sitting in the same corner. Still missing the point either way. Having the tool available doesn't mean you have to use it.
I don't know why so many travelers are such Luddites (c.f. the "none" tag). I backpacked around Europe with a laptop and found it tremendously useful and not a burden at all -- and that was an eight-pound machine.
It sat in my backpack when I wasn't using it and fit well in an inside compartment. Weight is really not that big a deal if you're in any kind of shape.
To the OP: A Macbook Pro would be extremely useful. I wouldn't travel anywhere without mine (and perhaps an ExpressCard flash reader).
You need to put batteries into that equation somewhere because fuel cells are slow to start up. Battery production and disposal SUCKS for the environment.
that it depends on precisely the same tenet as Communism: the idea that in one way or another, people will be perfect. Communism depends on people being perfect laborers -- if people don't always work the best they can and produce the most they can produce -- i.e. if they are lazy, the system fails. Libertarianism depends on people being perfectly generous. Libertarians don't deny the need for social services, but claim that charity can take care of it all. The fact of the matter is that people simply do NOT give enough to charity to power all the social services we have today, and furthermore, no, we CANNOT do without the vast majority of them. Moreover, depending on charity often injects religion into the mix, which is decidedly undesirable. We don't need churches deciding who is holy enough to be fed at a soup kitchen in every case.
... but the fact remains that Microsoft is not on the side of the little guy. The developers who write open-source software (mostly for free) decidedly are.
No matter how much you want to piss and moan about one thing or another not working correctly in Linux, that fact remains. This is why the MS-OSS double standard at Slashdot really doesn't bother me all that much.
However, I'm not sure how anyone could "kill Wi-Fi." What qualifies as "killing" it? You're not going to get hardware companies to stop manufacturing it, and that's more or less all you need for it to be perpetuated. Dvorak (unsurprisingly) doesn't address this either.
Am I the only one who thinks the title of this thread is stupid? Of COURSE network engineering is a "viable career." That wasn't even the question.
Getting TO THE QUESTION:
You are always, always, ALWAYS more employable and more promotable (not to mention more PAYABLE) with a bachelor's degree than without. It is ALWAYS worth getting a bachelor's degree. I might go so far as to say it's also always worth getting a master's degree too, as MSs are becoming the new BSs.
Why are all the fan productions so, so awful? Many of us really COULD do a better job. Can't they, you know, hold a casting call and see if they can't find someone better?
That said, George Takei is going to be in ST:NV in the next episode, which is pretty awesome all by itself. But yeah. Why do they have to be so uniformly terrible?
I just kept thinking that the franchise has messed up the whole notion of 'what' makes a true Vulcan.
I think it deepened the concept that "Vulcans have emotions, they just repress their expression, at first, and then seek to abolish them entirely." Not everyone is going to be perfect at that process.
If you ever invent a star-trek replicator, burry it in your back yard and speak no more of it 'cause anything else is going to dump you in all know forms of pain and misery and probably a bullet in the brain.
Actually, the first thing he should do is make many, many more copies of the replicator and then distribute it all over the world.
Cost of production goes down to zero. No one ever starves again. Material goods become worthless. Humanity evolves.
Please spare me your pedantic definitions. You knew precisely what I meant.
I want to do what I want to do with the hardware that I PURCHASED. Apple is going out of their way to stifle the development ecosystem around this device because, as usual, they want absolute control.
The expectations around a "OSX-based smartphone with Cocoa" are SIGNIFICANTLY different from those around a game system.

Relax, chief.
Am I the only one who thinks MySpace's UI is incredibly ugly and poorly-put-together?
And why is it that as of a couple years ago everyone is "in your extended network?" Is there even an "extended network" anymore?
You think YOU'D STFU, since my cock is currently down your throat and jizzing gallon upon gallon of seed into your incredibly stupid lungs.
Yes, that's right. Your STUPID, STUPID LUNGS. Your lungs have no fucking BRAIN, you stupid shit.
Dammit. I just washed these pants.

Catholic blowjobs?
but Glory Season made me want to slap the people in it around.
I guess it's a sign of good writing that he managed to make me care about the characters so much.

that's the other thing -- it presupposes everyone is perfectly educated. Forgot to mention that.

This whole article was completely idiotic.
How can rock THAT hot (rock closer to the core must necessarily be hotter than rock closer to the surface) NOT be magma? Pressure?
I don't understand how [water (cooling agent) + magma (what the mantle is made of] != crust evaluates to 1.
Matter of fact, it's all dark.

God, that was hysterical. That man is a genius.

had a full head of hair back in the day.
stopped watching Enterprise in the second season. It was an excellent show in the third and fourth seasons.
ALL of them? Every single man, woman and child on the planet?
Sure, there would be plenty, probably the majority, who would react that way. Some would find much more productive uses of their time, though.
