Science is only as good as the people interpreting the results. I knew about the misrepresentation of carbon dating back in the 80s when their was great debate between born again christians wanting to disprove claims of pre-historic life etc.
I am not a religious persons, my religion is science, but I am wise enough to know that we are not flawless, even though science is. If I know science is not wrong, then it is up to us to keep open minds about what we see as results to our tests etc.
I guess there might be a chance that certain findings could be false negatives as many tests we use to see if someone has breast cancer (a lump in the breast could also easily be an major ingrown hair!) Let's not jump to conclusions just yet!
That's what I thought too, it isn't googles fault, its Bloomberg's fault for automating process of info collection to determine pricing of stocks....I am sorry but if you that dependant on your computer to sift through info to get the upper hand on markets then its your bad. I am in no way holding google responsible and actually would think Bloomberg be smart enough to review their software for info aquisition.
PS- next time google give me a heads up so i can buy the stocks at their lowest price before they come back up....wonder if Google thought of doing that?
I agree, but it does not give the right for someone to abuse this. If i was stupid enough to do something like this, I would rather have someone tell me about my error, then show me.
If someone is in charge of any of these systems, and is not aware of this AFTER this code being published, that's when negligence is abundantly clear and should get fired.
Sorry, for the lame brains that have problems focusing maybe, but when you are an engeneer who uses the computer all day long and have mission critical stuff running at all times, you tend to develop a knack for keeping your eye on the ball. Even if I am reading emails, I am quite capable of running a few scenarios and watching the tray for any pop ups....this seems to me, the typical user who has a hard time understanding you don't just keep clicking accept when zone alarm warns you something is trying to connect to the internet.
Are these also the same people that call you to say the computer is broken because I cant seem to connect to the internet, and want to buy a new computer. I tell them they have to upgrade to atleast a quad core with 4 gb of ram, and that gives me about another 6 months to a year before i get their next phone call saying they broke their computers....again.
Wasn't this the one where captain Oneal goes and tells everyone that bringing the replicators on board is a bad,...very bad idea....and no one listens, and then the whole ship is taken over.
Or no wait, wasn't this the episode where Scotty brought on one of those little cute furry things on the enterprise and by the end of the episode, they were falling out of the vents and the ceiling and the walls....
I tend to agree that nuclear is the way to go, but we need to advance light years in this dept. before we go any further. Step back once second and look at the mutation rates / defective birth rates in the area of a nuclear reactor....this is why we place them so far off in the middle of nowhere....no one wants to live near a nuclear reactor....if it blows, well we all know what happens with that.....but what if we had small fist size nuclear reactor in the basement we could do a diagnostics on everyday. a small contained reactor that sat in your house giving you power...
We would evolve as a species where everybody would need a plumber/nuclear biologist on call should anything break, but the way of life would be quite different....no problems getting energy in hard to reach places...we could all live in the middle of nowhere and not have to worry about not having power or some stupid excuse why they can't get you your electricity.
Anyways we are nowhere near this state of affairs, and wont be for another 100 years, but I do like where the future is going.
Unless, you were the artist that created their own music and decided to sell it from your own website....so lets say I create a website where motley crue decides to set up camp, their own piece of my website becomes theirs (like facebook for artists) from there I offer them my merchant account to process their inventory (music) this allows the artist to make exactly what they want from their music (seeing as they are allowed to sell their music without paying copyrights as per Radiohead)
I would charge them a fee for using my merchant account and voila you have a repository for music that is not your own so you are not selling it, you offer a website for storage(10$ per month for any artist) and you offer a 1$ processing fee for each album sold or a 10 cent fee per mp3 sold.
After watching batman, I am certain there is something of this nature out there already being used by gov. agencies such as the NSA. The fact that it was this same technique, they used to catch the mob and set up a sting operation which had 99% accuracy rate... I would say...be afraid....be very afraid.
I am sure these numbers are fake or doctored. There is no way it would cost more then 100 million to set up england on high speed...you need 4 backbones with fiber optic and the rest you can at a very low cost blend into wifi for those hard to reach spots and offer an incentive to the people for buying the special high power routers/antennas. This is just yet another stab at making people pay through the nose for service they could get cheaper if they weren't so afraid of living without it.
But does anyone look into these options themselves, no, unless you have an independent contractor who comes in and establishes prices, no one really knows the real costs so they think, well i guess if they say its going to cost this much, then they must be telling the truth.

This would be too easy, and our lives depend on hard and difficult options.
You would have to write a program that creates a user on slashdot and find the post and then mod up +1, then put that function inside an infinite for loop
Not quite, I don't believe that even though they were bought that now employees from youtube actually see google on their paychecks, cuz that would mean they as google employees directly have access to all the benefits that other employees really working for google might have, and this would probably end up costing google a few million more then already spent
If this is true, we should swoop in, start a war for no reason , then take over all the thorium, and have a the power in the world, no one can stop us....go BUSH!
I think they missed a very important part of why they eat, not because they NEED the food, but because they need the break and rest from the exertion. Follow me if you will down this dark road... I am a programmer, I tend to eat a lot more when I am delving into uncharted territories...so as to give my mind a break and also enjoy something that maybe counters the negative affects of not getting something to work right away. You get the symbolism for eating you feelings, well in the same way, I eat my senses.I am not fat...yet...I train like an sob in the gym and actually do still burn a lot of calories playing drums at home, but when I get on a project that requires new thought patterns or changing the way i think to get through....it rises he stress levels, and therefor gives no immediate return for my work. I turn to food to calm me down, between snacks and meals i can stay stress free so to speak. I know a lot of people where I work are the same...we all have deadlines creeping up, we decide to go out for lunch together and take an extra 30 minutes because we got desserts or went to a buffet....when we come back we have escaped for a mere 1-2 hours from the drudgery of coding and a little more stress free, we can return with a clear head ready for more... if you only take a small break to eat a little meal, and then what can you do for the rest of your meal...everyone else is gone, this means you stay at your computer, and might as well keep programming, guess what...you didn't relieve any stress. You might get more if you take a little longer lunch enjoy more food with friends and lose yourself in your meal to come back a more positive and productive force.....wow that was a mouth full ( no pun intended)
tell me again why we need to let go of Reiser if its such a good system, I mean because someone cant continue the development of it, you can use what is already there till they come up with something better ( and not just as good or ok )
I thought ext3 was really good, but too many times I have had a full system corruption and that...nothing can help you with (although I still dont know what caused it, other then theory that someone rootkitted the box )
I know at all times when the satellites can't track me....when I am under a bridge, else all bets are off. Think about it, unless they have thermal sensors that can track you from that far, then we are all screwed.
