It's not that the lights allow you to see better, it's that the lights allow others to see you better, you self-centered dink.
As for your ridiculous efficiency argument: we would save roughly 100,000 barrels of oil per day, not millions. The next step is for you to decide how many more people dying per day is worth saving those 100,000 barrels, and then go look up the statistics on DRL.
Also, watch out, this guy seems pretty angry and if you taunt him any more with your "doing things the right way" bullshit, he might just go off the deep end.
That's ridiculous. I love my iPhone, and my contract has been up for 4 months or so. When the iPhone 5 comes out on AT&T, I'm getting one. But switching carriers for it? Hah! General hassle aside, I'll be damned if I'm giving up my grandfathered unlimited data plan.
Would Sprint really think that it'd be worth a risky deal that, chances are, will never pay off? Making a 5-year commitment in order to get a 6-month head start, where everyone knows they can just wait? In a market where most people are on a 2-year upgrade cycle? So, let's be generous and say that 1 in 2 people are actually able to take advantage of the deal. What percentage are going to be willing to shell out for a new iPhone and go through the trouble of changing carriers to get a phone they'll have to keep for 2 years 6 months early? What percentage of those haven't already had a bad experience with Sprint? What percentage of those won't be enticed right back away by one of their better-funded competitors?
No way Sprint could be so stupid. If they are, well, short selling is still legal, right?
Fuck it! Nightly builds! No, wait. Build on commit, and auto-release! Beta? FUCK beta!
Quick (and by god I mean QUICK) who can figure out a way to let (force) users to run straight out trunk? If we get this shit out fast enough, nothing has to be configurable anymore!
Speaking of bullshit-artistry, you just constructed a nearly-incoherent post that consists of slapping a new name on hypocrisy and claiming that you can pick psychopaths (a group of people known for their ability to lie) out almost instantly, and you got a +4 insightful mod out of it. Way to go!
By the way, you should contact the psychiatric association of whatever country you live in, I'm sure they'll be interested in your amazing ability to diagnose mental ailments.
Yikes. I hope that guy is happier being not a programmer.
Me? I love it. And when people figure out ways to do things wrong, I don't get mad, I figure out ways to make those wrong ways right. That's the point of programming! The only thing more rewarding than making stupid people capable, is making smart people more capable, and they're both hard. You want to be a programmer, but only do things that are easy? Hah! If it were easy, I'd just build a program to do it.
Most people, before they break the habit, are very good at lying to themselves to prevent ever having to believe they're wrong.. See, now you've called in the experts, and if nobody responds, you can go right on believing that it's the light itself that's making the noise, or whatever other goofy thing you're thinking that essentially boils down to "I can hear light" without actually saying it because you know that's ridiculous. Before you even try to figure out the answer, take a step back and look at the mental gymnastics you're doing right now.
It's not all bad. Your reply is a good start--you could have just ignored my comment and quietly continued to believe the same as you did before.
This is why they don't allow participants in studies to know which group they're in. It's not a matter of intelligence, people will "signal" without even realizing it, even if it's the thing they want to do least in the world. I highly doubt your mouse is that well insulated. Listen to it again, listen hard (don't just put it up to your ear while going lalala in a noisy room), press it up to your ear from the back like you're trying to listen through a wall.
I don't know exactly what is causing it, but mice are electronics. Most electronics have capacitors in them, and capacitors make noise. That's my guess, but there's plenty of other stuff that could do it. I can say with a pretty high degree of confidence though, you're not hearing photons, and your mouse is not producing sound so strongly directional that you can only hear it from one side.
That's ridiculous. You can't plan on those timescales. If you somehow figured out how to make cars run on oxygen alone there's no way to say that oxygen won't someday become scarce. Solar panels use the sun to make electricity, but they aren't built of out rays from the sun, they're built of materials on earth, some of them very rare.
A 100-year energy source is fantastic. As in, it's a fantasy to think we can even plan that far out.
- Robin Walker: Still a Valve employee. Core dev for TF2 (and other Valve games).
- John Cook: Still a Valve employee. Core dev for TF2 (and other Valve games).
- Ian Caughley: Hired by Valve, went on to be a director for another company, no bad blood I was able to find
Original developers of Counter-Strike:
- Minh Le: Hired by Valve, worked on CS2, project got shelved and he move to SK.
- Jess Cliffe: Still works for Valve. I'm sick of looking this stuff up, but I'm going to guess he has something to do with CS:GO
Original developers of Portal:
- Eric Wolpaw: Still works for Valve. Made Portal 2.
- Chet Faliszek: Still works for Valve. Wrote Portal 2.
I don't care how you measure it, that kind of loyalty is goddamned amazing. A bunch of people who definitely have options chose to stick around and make their games. Minh Le is the most negative story of the bunch, and here is a 2010 interview where he's asked about Valve. You decide for yourself if they fucked him over.
I'm all for calling companies on their bullshit, and as a general rule I think the corporate model couldn't encourage the worst parts of human nature any better if that was their explicit goal, but I find it extremely hard to fault Valve for claiming ownership of any of these games. As a long-time hate-filled negative prick, trust me when I say that your bile will be much more potent if you make sure it's deserved.
If the people who made Java were happy about the buyout and stuck around with Oracle and were given creative freedom and they came out with new versions of Java that were hailed as even better than the previous Java, then sure, it'd be just like that.

No, it's a right that the government impinges on at will.
Can glass survive that?
So when you expose bees to cell phone radiation near a GPS, you get BJS? Sweet!

I'm don't think you, or anyone that modded you up, know what that idiom means.

Fuck that noise, I'm gonna get me a neutrino-drive spaceship, next stop is the Horsehead Nebula!

Hey, remember when they banned metal lunchboxes?
It's programmer day, not cryptographer day.

Naturally!
If there's dust at the end, you're either doing something really, really wrong, or really, really, really right.
So, you've reported the teacher by now, right?
Any true Scotsman would get virtualization right.
He's only wasting his time if it doesn't work.
And yet, you still play. Get out while you can. It's never going to get better. If you stay, you're just one of the suckers.

So what's the cutoff for you? Is 1,000 years long enough?
