Actually one of the real underlying problems is overpopulation. The other problem is a lack of organization amongst the environmentalists. Ask a random person and they will agree with your position Kim. However, the people who get heard the most are the people who scream the loudest. The people who scream the loudest are usually the most radical. If you watch any of the shows on the discovery channel, or thew national geographic channel, some of them actually advocate that the world would be better off without humanity. This leads me to believe that the real goal is not to clean up then environment, but to clean up humanity. If there are less people, we will use less resources, and their will be less pollution. As for Al Gore, I have no respect for a man that will not debate anyone. One interesting thing to be aware of is who owns what for land, and what side of the political coin the fall on.
How far up does someone have to go to be outside of NOAA's jurisdiction? Asking for this license sounds illegal. NOAA does not own the planet. This sounds very childish.
I started questioning this article before the end of the first sentence. An Economist, calling a Psychologist "wrong" about math? One should remember what happens when you put 50 economists in a room - you get 100 opinions - one for each hand. I recognize that the author of the article may be correct, I just couldn't help commenting on the first sentence.
Given the current socio-political climate of america, anything other than an engraved invitation signed and notarized for three lawyers, will get you locked up and tossed on some list. No means No, Yes means No, and "I just changed my mind even though we are naked" means no. Twenty years ago they were telling us that "No" meant "Yes". So much for people playing hard to get.
As soon as they develop the coordination and attention span to move a mouse and focus on what they are doing.
I taught my newphew how to use a computer by playing Reader Rabbit, and Freddy Fish. *EVERYTHING* was clickable
and he had fun just watch the reactions someone the game objects gave. it also gave good quality time because he would sit in my lap and use the mouse, and I would point to where he should click.
My nephew also enjoyed watching me play Mario 64, he often wanted to play but would end up dying, and then ask for my help. He watched me play for hours.
I believe he bvenefited because he is unafraid of technology, and knows he won't break something just by touch a button on a computer.
The RROD makes me wonder if it would be cheaper to pick up a broken Xbox360 from ebay and fix it myself. I have read that a lot of repairs breaking out the soldering iron, and reapplying heating compound. I'd also like to know if anyone has purchased an xbox 360, and before using it, rebuilt/replaced the cooling infra structure. One common solution I have read about is using an antec usb laptop cooler underneath the unit as a precautionary measure. I'm not sure I want to spend $300 when I can fix xomeone elses with a dremel tool, some silver compound, and a soldering iron.
The article/summary mentions the compound being similar to the blood of a snow flea - to be truly kosher as much blood as possible must be removed from the meat/product/animal before consumption. There are specific rules about draining, salting, and broiling. Given the similarity, adding this compound would render the product treif.
The first thing we need to develope if we are going to even consider this are efficient suits that will enable us to survive outside our environment. This means we need small, light temperature control systems are able to withstand lots of punishment. Air and Water recycling systems, and a system to keep our skin clean during weeks to months inside one of these suits. The EVA units worn by the astronauts are not suitable or efficient. If we can solve this hurdle then it may be possible.
I have always wondered how pissed some alien life form would be if we showed up on their planet and drank all their water in an effort to simply survive.
Living without gadgets would be horribly detrimental to my budget. I'd start binging on books, comic books, manga, magazines, you name it. I assume gadgets means No TV, No DVD Player, No Tivo, No computer, and No slashdot.
The worst part would come when I will have exhausted the supply at the local book stores, and start hitting the used book stores. Researching ISBN numbers and harder to find titles is so much easier with Amazon and Ebay.
Book addiction eventually leads to finding yourself curled up in the corner of the childrens section of the local library reading a Little Golden Book, looking for an ulterior motive to the actions of the roly poly puppy, because it is the only thing you have not read for about 20 miles. This stage is far past the point of depravity where you read The Simarillion.
Publishing a list of consumers is irrelevant. The amount of money spent by any one consumer amounts to a drop in the bucket when you compare it to the amounts the RIAA wishes to recoup via lawsuits and lobbying.
Also if you add up the amount of money on the list from the article, it is probably far less than the amount that was spent by consumers, who both support these candidates and the RIAA.
The only way anyone can know for sure is to perform a full audit on the RIAA, and then publish it, in unobfuscate language that is accessible to most citizens.
Most CIO's would lump all of your reasons under:
5. Feature Set Maturity.
Both of these were high level articles aimed at management, not at
developers. This becomes even more evident with reason number 6:
6. Availability of Certification
as real programmers are too busy coding to care about certs.
The fundamental problem with imagining that scenario is that it has the same problem John Lennon had in his song Imagine. It fails to take in to account one small detail - Imagine there are no lawyers.
I bet you can't.
I thought this functionality had been implemented in Borland's Turbo C/Turbo C++/Turbo Assembler products.
I call bogus. It is a shame borland didn't patent this back in the 90's.
Windows has always been a guest OS - on top of DOS. =)
The biggest problem I have with M$ and security is the required reboots after updating.
You have no choice in this, if you don't you are nagged to death by the OS or worse
rebooted forcibly.
The other issue I have is with automatic updates checking for new
updates everytime you boot. This goes not just of Windows but for Norton as well.
if you are dilligent you can get away turning these off, and updating once a week manually, but for the common user their systems are turned into bricks for the first five minutes of use, because you have X number of programs phoning home, on a network connection that
hasn't even come up. I know you can schedule times for updates, but if you miss that time, it checks as soon as you boot. add this, plus the spyware you find on a lot of systems, and you get frustration.
Oy vey! looks who is talking about cheap! I find a deal, and she wants a copy.
Your are meshugina if you think I'm going to let you pirate a copy. go buy yer own
ya gonif. I will however lend you a blank cd. (the RIAA gets royalties on these too),
and who knows I might even through in a case for it.
I just bought the who's next album on Itunes. 16 tracks cost $9.99 when bought together. or I could buy each track individually at $.99. Doing the math, by buying the whole album I bought each track at $.63 cents. $9.99/16 songs = $.624 per song. I saved.38 cents on each song. Also since it is in apple lossless, I get to burn a CD for my collection. all I'm missing is the artwork. I didn't have to leave my chair, didn't have to start the car and use gas (which can be factored into the overall cost of buying an album). before that I bought. The album costs $12-$14 in most stores. which at its worst would be $.875 per song.
I'm not pirating, and yet I saved money. I wonder why small stores are going away. it sucks
but times are changing.

I want to see his control group.

Sounds better than a Lucas reboot:
Indiana Jones has to trek across the galaxy looking for the one ring only to find out that Sauron is his father....
So this can put me on to the MCP's game grid right?

This would be perfect for the assault on the Death Star from the Yavin rebel base.
