The video is too funny - and very well done. Send a link to your kids and they'll finally understand what CERN and LHC do. Maybe we should do more science education like this.
PC Mag looked for a few things:... scope (how many computers, agencies, companies, sites, etc. did it affect?), cost (how much in monetary damages did it cause?), and historical significance...
Heh. Good point. I know that a lot of my code that's been around for a long time may contain as much as 30% commented out code, not to mention all the stuff in #ifdef blocks.
Oh for fuck's sake. That's the most disingenuous bit of apologia I've seen in a long time.
1) Well, in all honesty, - Guffaw.
2) it is kind of hard to tell from that article what it really is that she wants - It's searingly obvious. She wants creationism taught in schools. In science class.
3) I, too, think that creationism should be taught in school, - Imagine my surprise.
4) and that debate should be encouraged - Only if it includes Russell's Teapot and the Invisible Pink Unicorn as well.
5) But not in any science-related classes, of course - Of course. Wink wink nudge nudge.
6) That's what classes in religion are for, obviously. - Last time I looked, public schools did not have religion classes. Maybe we could teach creationism in math class.
7) The article was very scant on details about how she thought it should be taught - The article was very clear on her use of weasel-worded code words for "teach creationism in science class on a 50/50 basis with evolution".
It's pretty clear, given her stance on creationism and abortion, that she's a knee-jerk Christian fundamentalist playing word games to mask her theistic agenda - as are you.
The parent post is genius.
He only forgot the part about how when the bridge is halfway built, they come back and say:
"We need the bridge to be at a different location on the river (enen though we didn't specify one in the first place)." OR
"We see you're building a suspension bridge - we need it to be an arch bridge."
"Oh, and by the way, your materials budget and deadline haven't changed."
I think that's kind of harsh - comparing Solaris to Irix. In the first place, Irix was never meant to be more than a workstation OS, and it was crufty and crappy enough that you'd never want to run it on big iron. Solaris, on the other hand, even with its roots in workstations, has always run well on the largest servers. While the Irix/Linux comparison might be valid for desktops and small servers, a better camparison for Solaris might be HP-UX, as they're both more aimed at the data center than the desktop.
I've recently been reading Will Durant'sStory of Civilization, which I can tell you is no mean feat, but is a labor of love as they're so well written. In Volume IV, The Age of Faith.
Chapter 4, in particular, "The Dark Ages: AD 566-1095" has some fascinating comings and goings and goings and comings of various tribes all over Europe and the Near East. Magyars, Slavs, Croats, Turks, Mongols, Lombards, Serbs, Belarusians, Bulgarians and a hundred more warring, migrating, interbreeding - it's pretty damn fascinating.

Oh, don't be silly. We all know McCain's/Palin's "science policy" is a huge load.
So no great loss to society then.
No, the zeros don't weight anything.
More like villagers with torches and pitchforks.
Wait until you actually watch the video - stupid, unfunny, lame, pointless.

Continued? What? Continued?? Health? What? Health??
I'm not sure those words mean what you think you mean.
We're forking it - those guys are assholes ;-)
No, I said an air gap (i.e. no network connection) is the best security, but it limits your possibilities.
Yep. The Very Best(tm) security is an air gap.
But it kinda limits your possibilities.
Windows 98?
Heh. Good point. I know that a lot of my code that's been around for a long time may contain as much as 30% commented out code, not to mention all the stuff in #ifdef blocks.
Sounds tricky. I wonder how do dey do dat?

We need to keep science out of the classroom. Oh, won't somebody think of letting teh children decide?
It does it six times.
Visions of Wile E. Coyote leap to mind...
That was spherical cows of uniform density - at STP.
I don't get it. Aren't they going to Beta it for a couple of years?

I didn't see the Lego razor-wire.
Oh stop it. In a parallel universe, this makes perfect sense.
It Just Works, duh!
Fixed that for you.
