Europeans are not any more violent if you know your history (or read today's newspapers). What might be different is that Europeans have been more *organized* and invented more *technology* and therefore have done a much better job carrying out the violent tendencies that exist in all humans.
I don't think the plan is to melt snow from the energy generated from the panels but would require an input of energy. Obviously there are few things more effective in turning incident solar energy into heat than black rough surfaced asphalt.
Imagine the opacity of the glass surface after a few days of traffic with steel studs or rocks caught in the treads or just tires driving over blown dirt and dust .
The idea of a solar roadway sounds great to the intuitive but lousy to the analytical and practical.
1. It must be me but I do not find Perl any more problematic in this respect than say C or Javascript. In fact facilities like variable string interpolation and symbolic references in my view makes Perl more readable and understandable.
2. So... use if ( defined $str ) what's so irrevocable borked.
3. Care to give an example. I have never read Perl source and have programmed 100k's line of code in Perl and maintain several CPAN modules.
Which is sad because the Electic Chair is really a crude form of execution and was an Edison marketing gimic as a way to convince the public that AC was baaaaaad stuff.
I have put in driveway snowmelt systems and a typically driveway needs at a minimum ~100 kbtu/hr boiler to keep the driveway clear. Scaling that up to a road way and it would be astronomical.
Somehow just reiterating that everything-is-a-file isn't enough, and many professionals struggle to understand UNIX-style paths.
What? Really? You think the windows traditional
C:\"Documents and Settings"\USERNAME
is easier and more expressive then/home/USERNAME
Then there is the stupid "My Documents" concept. I once helped a secretary find a document she stored under "My Documents" and she couldn't understand why it wasn't there. She was on a different computer but thought since the abstract thingy "My Documents" was right in front she that it was her documents.
Would it really be such a bad thing for the Soviet Union to come back?
Are you friggen nuts? The Soviet Union had a very bad habit (Russia to a lesser degree today) where all the information is controlled and monitored by the state... there is was no independent press, no independent branches of government, no limited elections, no freedom of movement....
Most of the stuff Snowden has released concerns NSA spying on American citizens, not other countries.
Wrong... Snowden released methods and means of foreign intelligence. People tend to overlook that. Consider his release of information on intelligence gathering on China's Huawei and govt, Yep... he is a traitor.
Thanks for the recommendation. At the time I just needed to get up and running quick... now i have more time to investigate some alternative text editors.
I also thought I was going to miss WinSCP but the gnome "places" is actually a better solution for the work I do which is largely editing files on remote servers. Also tabbed terminal app cleans up the workspace as opposed to numerous putty windows and virtual workspaces... oh my.
Last week after my disk totally crashed I had to decide to re-install Window 8 and re-install a long list of apps - several which are updates and require the original disk (ah where are they)....hmmmm I thought here goes the day.
I decided to install CentOS Desktop instead. I am familiar with CentOS in the server mode as I use it on my dedicated server. Within an hour I was back up and running and being productive in my consulting business. My QHD / Nvidia graphic card were recognized and drivers installed, HP printer setup was simple, digital camera is recognized, scanner, etc. I really prefer the Gnome 2 interface to Windows 8 (and even Gnome 3) it stays out of my way and lets me get my work done efficiently.
I really haven't missed Windows at this point... well maybe Notepad++ just a little and haven't figured out what to do about Quickbooks yet. Maybe I can install enough plugins to get Gedit to be a reasonable editor and I may have to setup a windows virtual machine to run Quickbooks or find an alternative.
This morning on the radio I overheard an advertisement offering a Windows "speed-up service" with the main pitch being that over time your Windows machine become slower and slower being encumbered with cruft, malware, "help functions", virus, etc.. I couldn't keep from smiling.
There is a reason taxi's are regulates heavily. The industry was rife with abuse. Random charging, taking long way around
These problems are eliminated in the Uber model. There is no exchange of cash, no opportunity to randomly charge and the fare is fixed so no incentive to "take the long way around".
dropping people off in the wrong place, extortion, and people had no avenue of recourse.
A uber driver does this once and no more customers.
Sorry no complete security in any system. However with Uber the driver that shows up has a reputation one can review... with a taxi company you have no control over that. I would prefer Uber. IMHO.
I dunno maybe I am moron but I can't understand the new desktop paradigm... An unsophisticated I bet couldn't figure our the new gnome shell but my grandmother could navigate gnome 2 just fine.
SXSW is a tradeshow & alot of the "keynote" speaking slots are for sale. It's a revenue stream for SXSW: keynotes get alot of press for their product therefore there is value to trade. Not that Snowden would have to pay to be a "keynote" speaker but it's possible.
To go another level, I don't trust anything about the Snowden Narrative from the ***very beginning*** It's fishy as hell, from the Russian poled-dancing girlfriend to his repeated wearing of the same two shirts...on the face of it the whole thing was backwards.
Typical sysadmin, thinking they know everything about how you should do your job, even if your job has nothing to do with administering systems.
Yes. This is a fact that alot of fanbois want to ignore. We all may be happy about the increased awareness of gov't spying, but that doesn't mean we turn off our brains entirely.
IMHO Snowden was/is being blackmailed. He may have had nothing but good intentions but it's obvious that he's getting worked.
I tend to agree. But he is also attempting to blackmail the US by holding on to a trove of data as a poison pill. Is this data secure? He thinks it is secure but foreign govts probably have already stole it or bought it. Patriots don't risk endanger national security as as shield for personal protection.

Once again science just proving the accuracy of Genesis :)
That is why they call it Disruptive Technology... in this case the reaction is quite literally disruptive.

This is best you can do to flame Perl?
1. It must be me but I do not find Perl any more problematic in this respect than say C or Javascript. In fact facilities like variable string interpolation and symbolic references in my view makes Perl more readable and understandable.
2. So... use if ( defined $str ) what's so irrevocable borked.

on a platter?

What is going to prevent these plates from getting scratched and rendered useless shortly by studded tires, gravel, snow plows, etc.
i think solar roof tiles is a much better idea.
And what about file system crashes (ie from power being pulled) in an embedded environment?

I agree ET would have similar behavior... if they are technically advanced they would most certainly be social, curious and have empathy.
What! No way... Drill Baby Drill should be the new manta.

Rumours circulate that most if not all of the hard drives that Snowden had with him upon his flight to Hong Kong were decoys.
Decoy to fool who for what purpose?
I think the news in the OP clearly shows were Snowden's loyalties lie. He is a stooge and probably a traitor.
source, please?

I don't think they are saying that the universe itself can't "run" the "computations"
Just more proof that reality is a simulation... the programmer, due to limitations of cpu, had to resort optimizations at the microscale.
