I agree with you you that just because something is popular doesn't mean it is "good". However, popular is objective, and can be measured. I was just wondering if there is ANY way to objectively review "good" art. I can't think of one and was hoping someone else would have a creative idea to measure it.
I have never seen that website before and decided to scroll down to see the other articles. There's a much more interesting article at the bottom titled:
"The body as a network"
I believe the 2D explanation was just an analogy and they are saying we live in a 5D world with a 4D exterior.
FTA:
"What's more, work by several string theorists, most notably Juan Maldacena at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, has confirmed that the idea is on the right track. He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions and shaped like a Pringle is the same as the physics taking place on the four-dimensional boundary."
Badge, you got me thinking about this. I want to disagree with you because the Foundation Series is probably my favorite SciFi book. However, my favorite SciFi movie is definitely Total Recall and I think you nailed the reason down for me. I'm wondering how much action there is going to be in this. I'm not sure I'd enjoy watching a bunch of scientists arguing around a table about the inner workings of psychohistory.
woops, my code got clipped... the original foo() function is fine, you just have to call it differently. as posted above:
$array = foo();
echo $array[1];
FYI - Flash can call javascript within actionscript code. The only reason to use flash for this hack is to hide the javascript code from reviewers, since it's illegal to decompile an swf.
I find it comical to call it military action and not a war. Technically, we are not at war with Iraq but at war with terrorism. In the same manner you can easily say Clinton was at war with drugs. So yes WAS war during Clinton's presidency. In addition, what is defined as 'military action' in America is easily identified as 'war' in other parts of the world.
I agree with parent post, as should anyone who respects historical facts. As a further example, Sulejman Talovic shot up a mall in Salt Lake City and there was speculation this was a result of the war. From wikipedia: "Some family members suggested that emotional trauma Sulejman may have suffered during the Balkan war years of his youth might have contributed to this shocking act of violence."
I'm also a chess player and have a different take on it. I have not given up the game and still spend a good amount of time playing. You are incorrect that the old days would only go 7 moves deep for an opening. Good players know openings about 14 moves deep. However, that still doesn't take the fun out of the game because, *this is important* games can technically have an infinite number of moves. For example, let's say we are at the end game and I decide to keep my 1 pawn locked up and just bounce my horse around the board, while my opponent does the same. Humans will generally just call a draw, but not necessarily. Regardless, computers are at the point now that they can easily defeat even the best players. I don't have fun playing against computers, but I do enjoy playing against people. I can understand the feeling that memorizing the opening sequences can be overwhelming, it's a lot of work, just like any professional game, it takes practice.
Excellent Points. I would like to elaborate on the religious aspect of scouts. I was in boyscouts from cub scouts until 18. I would say that my leaders in my particular troop were ignorant and prejudiced in many ways, but I know for a fact that many leaders were and are not. I made some great friends in boy scouts and also had some really great learning experiences. First time I got drunk was in boy scouts, the first time I shot a rifle was in boy scouts, the first time I learned that adults are not always right and leaders are sometimes stupider than their followers was in boy scouts.
Now I was raised Jewish but currently I do not accept the literal translation of the old testament (or the new) and do not follow the traditions. In boy scouts I was required to go to jewish ceremonies sometimes (very rarely) and only when the other kids were required to goto church. Most of it was just for show. There are some underlying tones of religion, but I never felt that uncomfortable. Religion (and homosexuality) rarely came up in conversation.
Remember, boy scouts is really just pre-military training. Don't ask, Don't tell.
I hear this quite often - The parents are to blame for everything their child does because they are not home with the child and watching them 24 hours a day. However, it's impossible for kids to be "parented" 24/7. There are many people who have to work day AND night to buy food and clothes for their children. Please don't mistake this as support for Jack's crusade. I just think there are some really troubled people out there, where you can judge the parents, video games, society, etc. for the person's actions.
You don't remember correctly. Her daughter used the computer, and the RIAA won the case against her daughter. Her defense was "I didn't do it, my daughter did" and the RIAA agreed, the court agreed, that's all folks. This article don't mean jack - yo.
There is currently an advertisement on slashdot that is very clever. It's a flash animation saying "To see the future of the internet". If you follow the link www.internetofthefuture.org you'll see a cartoon advocating the people to rise up and protest against the net neutrality bill. It's a very misleading cartoon, yet entertaining. There's no credits or contact info associated to this ad, and at one point they even boil the argument down to an issue of "the people" vs. "the government".

As much as I hate Bieber and Lopez, (Psy is pretty awesome), how else could you judge subjective materials in an objective way?

I would assume the data would have more damning information on Iran's nuclear plans versus Israel, but that is just a guess.
Anyone have any educated knowledge about what kind of data they could be releasing that would be unknown to the general public?

This story reminds me of an amazing book written in the late 1800's, "Flatland", which applies today more than ever.

After RTFA I noticed that they are also in the process of making a new Dune movie! http://sffmedia.com/films/science-fiction-films/179-this-time-its-for-real-new-dune-movie-confirmed.html

$array = foo();
echo $array[1];
don't knock the language simply because you don't know how to use it. 'a', 2=>'b'); } $array = foo(); echo $array[1]; ?>
I know this is a terrible excuse, but paying for a solution *may* make the ignorant masses feel better.
taxpayer: "hey you could have prevented this disaster without spending an assload of money? WTF!"

I'm not a lawyer so I really have no idea, but don't you need to be sued by the RIAA in order to join this class action lawsuit?

Generally, when a "hacker" is arrested at the beginning of a presentation in front of a crowd, that signals a red flag.

FTA: the mayor called it "a blatant disregard for the Police Department"
When the police are breaking the laws (or sneaking around them) who do we ask to protect us?
