Please circle one of the following: * Fox news is a reliable source of information * Sorry, I was doing meth in my cousins trailer when I linked * I'm a moron * I did it for the lulz
There is a lot we don't know about. Our knowledge of the "known" universe is minute compared to the size of it. We need two mathematical systems to study our physical world because of anomalies at scale. We cannot explain dark matter. What we do learn from distant galaxies and planets is already old news to the tune of some hundreds of millions of years.
Analytical thinking is a feedback loop because the more you know, the more questions you have. Much of what gets explained away by some religion is egregiously ignorant and we need to ask ourselves if we are doing the same to dismiss unknowns specifically as scientific anomalies. Even Einstein did not completely dismiss religion from his work (http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/einstein.html).
* companies are authorized to share "cyber threat information" with other private companies or the government "notwithstanding any other provision of law." That appears to mean that if a company decides that your private emails, your browsing history, your health care records, or any other information would be helpful in dealing with a "cyber threat," the company can ignore laws that would otherwise limit its disclosure.
CISPA is another way of getting *ANYTHING* labeled a "cyber threat" so an entire can of whoopass can be opened legally. I can conceive how this would be abused by , let's say, limiting what gets blogged when a demonstration is taking place, or being raided.
Kids have been used in warfare. If you believe in the whole TSA logic, then it makes perfect sense to search a child. It's the perfect place to stash something. Especially if nobody is going to search a child.
Apple is going in a direction which will ultimately kill the company. Steve had one of the brightest minds in the business, possibly the world. If Steve wouldn't have done it, then that's all the reason you need to know it's a bad idea. If Apple doesn't beat Google, then Google is going to beat Apple and that's a horrendous thought.
I think Tim is going to be a very bad thing for Apple and it's already showing in that he "prefers not to litigate" - that's what every successful company does! (Microsoft and Oracle for instance). The profits Apple is claiming are what's coming in from the tail-end of Steve's leadership. Wait another year. It's all just going to fall apart and nothing we can do about it. They need a new CEO.
Valve is porting Steam and Source to linux right now. Not half-life, not Portal, not TF2, not Counter Strike. Source is just an engine. Steam is a distribution medium.
Steam is new, porting a popular game engine is not. Unreal did it, id did it, others did it. Just because the engine is ported doesn't mean the games automatically follow. Don't get me wrong - I would run Gentoo and compile the Valve games myself if that's what it took to do some good gaming on linux, but I'm not going to get all hot-and-bothered just yet over a game engine. We've been here before with several other companies over the years only to see the support for Linux yanked.
going to please the Linux community for all of about 5 minutes.
Your comment fit better 10 years ago. The Linux crowd has grown considerably away from the Stallman-esque era. There are regular people using it now who would never get the difference between free and "free". I think Steam has a good chance, but there had better be some good ports of popular titles or the whole thing is pointless.
There are a many,many Linux users who will gladly pay the $50.00 for the latest title on Linux before dealing with the Mac or Win empires.
who's to say the non-nut jobs are "right" when it comes to what their religion tells them, as apposed to the nut jobs?
People don't need to be "right" and judging one religion from the perspective of another is just shortsighted stupidity. People need to be allowed to practice their religion, without persecution, until they step outside the law. Clearly someone did that. That's your metric. Hunt them, not the collective.
And yet it is religion which justifies these actions.
The interpretation is what gets twisted. You can find twisted interpretations in any religion or elitist mentality. Even atheism. If you're going to hate, don't be selective.
in less than 18 months most have several dead LEDs in the cluster.
I have three 15watt LED bulbs I got off Ebay a year ago which are still running fine. The difference could be in the DC power source/converter or just from vibration.
Remember that crap like this is carried out by a fundamentalist extremists. Don't start a witch-hunt on religion just because the wack-jobs killing people claim to be religious.

Unity is getting it's second chance as a fork, not as Ubuntu 12.04
Where did you get that idea?
Ummm... history maybe? Just sayin..

Control the 'net and you control bitcoin. Do you think pippa/acta / cispa and variants are limited to the riaa and mpaa agenda only?

I have to imagine that our government's security agencies already have a generalized form of protection

First, the jobs move overseas and we get told it's a "good thing":
http://blog.douweosinga.com/2003/10/why-jobs-moving-overseas-isn-so-bad.html
Then, there is complaining that the industry can't find any programmers:

Next, the industry tries to figure out where all the programmers went:

Finally, they realize they've castrated themselves and simply claim it's a dead-end career. Nice.
Should be interesting. That place floods over and busts levees every year.
how do I get exposed to new things?
Amazon. Prime. Do it.
Any one else read this as nmap
No, Nessus.
If we protect them properly, the only thing the world will have to offer when they turn 18 is some kind of corporate sponsored police state.
the dead usually don't put up much of a fight.
Steve was a GOD. He *will* be back to fight. These people will not know what hit them. This is blashphemy. I'm telling mom..
You just know some pretty crazy things are going to happen when you pair-program with a name like that.

It's the only way to keep yourself protected.
