Cut to the quick here: you're plainly greedy and unwilling to accept the fact that others have needs.
If you can't share the burden of humanity, then leave us. Join one of those nice Oregonian apocalypse ranches where you can fill yourself with further fear, lots of automatic weapons, and barbed wire.
Your EE degree didn't apparently teach you about the needs of your fellow humans, and what civility really is.
I'll agree with you that what the Sisters of Providence taught me were decided and calculated lies, like how legislation becomes law. They were altruistic and were probably shocked when Nixon was found to be the instigator of Watergate. But Texas is still not entitled to its facts, even if they're voted on.
Your sense of theft is laughable. Wait until you're in need-- real need-- and see how you feel about "socialism".
Your prejudice shows mightily. It's not what my forefathers fought for.
Some were Christian, some were *not*. And they fought alongside each other, knowing the facts, and why they built the country. You sir, live in fear. You shouldn't fear liberalism; you shouldn't fear conservatism. Instead, you should fear what you have: your own and exclusive set of facts.
A friend of mine is a civil war historian. My 4G grandfathers (some 5G, too) fought as well. There are the facts of who was quoted saying what, and how the Union fell apart, and who fired first shots, and so on.
It takes many facts to assemble motivations but there are a few facts that are clear: human slavery and economics were at issue.
Others and myself would disagree with you. I have read all of your suggestions, and many, many more. Your selective (and unwittingly bad choices) of citations instead shows that you're drinking the koolaid. It might have cyanide in it.
No. Opinions have low currency because almost everyone has one. Greed and fear-based politicians often believe that they can change history for their own benefit, because they have "God on their side".
Such individuals are the most dangerous kind of human. Because the goal of heaven trumps rational thought and facts.
You're entitled to your opinions. You're not entitled to your facts. The "majority" is often incorrect regarding the facts. Voting about the facts doesn't change the facts.
In my opionion, the Texans that voted these standards in are trying to alter facts. They're also attempting to fabricate facts, ignore facts, and spread religious and philosophical intent into what should be textbooks, not books on philosophy and religion. These board members are doing a disservice to their constituency. They should be removed from their positions, as they have cleary been (IMHO) irresponsible and have violated US Federal Law as regards discrimination regarding race, national origin, and creed.
You don't. You don't run like a coward, you stand up and fight and fight until you and your tribe don't stand up any more. Or you win. Or you compromise and live with it like civil beings.
An artificial habitat won't work. Entropy affects us, and it will affect all subsequent systems till we get the first one right.
They wouldn't be quite the shortage if we thought a lot more about H1B numbers. Foreign nationals, while great in many ways, also dilute the pool of available jobs-- and university subsidy of foreign students has grown into a huge business as the costs of educating foreign nationals, despite high tuition-- doesn't cover costs.
We've exported tons of labor and engineering abroad, and now complain that there aren't any jobs, and that taxpayers shouldn't subsidize education as a result. Instead, why not pressure banks to not only make money on student loans, but also on their entrepreneurial ventures as well?
There's a madman libertarian behind all of this. Sure, we need technologists, but we also need engineers, systems people, as well as those that work on civil infrastructure so that our freaking bridges don't drop into the Mississippi.
We're overpopulated. We face massive global warming. We're discharging oil into the Gulf, and depend on fossil fuels. We've lain waste to countless ecosystems. We're killing each other to the tune of millions per year. One in six people is malnourished.
Space exploration gives you a few minerals. Have a nice day.
Let China go broke doing it. They have lots of money to spend, and actually do something about population control, not that I agree with the rest of their policies.
Outward migration is an excuse. It's a waste. We have to learn about this world before we go fucking up the universe. Face yourself.
If Mars were like Earth, then maybe the information would transfer. But it's NOT. Colonization usually means running from religious or philosophical persecution. And look what happened: initial indigenous population death from communicable disease, and subsequent habitat devastation.
I wonder aloud if space exploration isn't an excuse not to fix the mess we've created here on good old planet Earth. I've read sci fi since I was a kid, and there's a lot of future scenarios where humans now live offwold because Earth died of this, or that or radiation in a post-nuclear holocaust, etc.
It's my personal belief that we have to fix the problems now, discuss them, and introduce population controls that cut down on resource damage until we can determine the nature of the problems we face (without glib one-liners).
What makes anyone think that subsequent out-migration to habitable planets will work, when we can't get this one right?
No, confusion is NOT the goal. The goal is to use centrist/cloud-based apps. That's what Schmidt is all about. Sun, Novell, and what part of doing it on the data center did you not understand?
Chrome does what it's supposed to. If you want local processing, you're using something else. Each and every distribution of Linux has its place, even if that place is the dustbin.
Mod parent up. There's sufficient contention over the ownership of the copyright that even a fork might be the unowned derivative work of the poster.
Playing the 'good guy' here might work, as in a post-employment appeal for use of the code, with employer copyright GPL'd credit. The university may have copyright but subsequent distribution of the code by the university could be questionable without distribution under the GPL. They may not want to distribute the code, believing it to be proprietary and of value to them. You still can't fork that code, only rewrite it, perhaps painfully, from stem to stern. Legal counsel might be well advised-- and cogent counsel at that. Most attorneys don't know copyright and GPL.... so a specialist might be advised.
They have to sell new stuff. Preferably new stuff with brand new intellectual property. Preferably something that makes the old stuff look like drek. Preferably something that has a committee of dozens of people that won't agree, so that as you cite, the draft standard takes nearly a decade to be be ratified. By then, we'll be on to the new 120Ghz platform, with new encoding that will actually get data to you before you ask for it.
So what you do is get people to code apps that use lighter-weight threads. Apple's GCD and FOSS ports of GCD spawn low-cost (as in overhead) threads so you can cram more in, make them smaller, and relieve part of the dirty cache memory problem in using them.
Spawn threads across cores, keep thread life simpler. Make those freaking cores actually do something. It can be done. It's just that MacOS or Linux or BSD have to be used to run the app/games.
Ya know... Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is looking better all the time. I wonder if it'll run on my MacBookPro before I put it onto Craigslist....
Jobs has become the new Gates and Ballmer. What a wonderful guy.
There's a point where his 'it just works' changes to 'he's just a jerk'. I think that point is getting really, really close.
Too bad. What nice toys he makes. Darwin to MacOS X was so smooth. Now the Snow Leopard release has about the same bugs as a Windows release. Once the viruses start, I'll be long gone. Pity. You wanted to like the guy for his bravery and his David/Goliath thing. Now he's desperately trying to hang on to his novel franchises.... at the cost of what seems to be his honor. Shrug. History repeats itself.
And more importantly, they're wrong, in the eyes of its developer.
It's a cogent flame of his critics, but it also exposes what are plainly design differences-- and his critic's non-nuanced eye. You have to appreciate someone that can split hairs so finely when taking a set of arguments apart. I like thinkers.

We agree.

(insert car analogy here)
No.
And your analogy is similarly vacuous.
We repair, learn, and tread lightly, as treading heavily has cost us dearly, for this generation and many to come.
Name five.
We're overpopulated.
We face massive global warming.
We're discharging oil into the Gulf, and depend on fossil fuels.
We've lain waste to countless ecosystems.
We're killing each other to the tune of millions per year.
One in six people is malnourished.

There are lots of ways to induce delta T. iTunes, as an example.
Or in actuality, playing with the MPLS tables.
Heaven help you if you're on WiFi and move out of the zone. You are so screwed.
In that case, we as a race of beings is more like an infection for another world. Somehow, we'd survive.

It must be working. I got this five minutes ago.

Note the lack of replies. Here.
So what you do is get people to code apps that use lighter-weight threads. Apple's GCD and FOSS ports of GCD spawn low-cost (as in overhead) threads so you can cram more in, make them smaller, and relieve part of the dirty cache memory problem in using them.
Spawn threads across cores, keep thread life simpler. Make those freaking cores actually do something. It can be done. It's just that MacOS or Linux or BSD have to be used to run the app/games.
Don't get me started on GPU threading.
