I was simply trying to provide an example that eliminated the stigma of nazism. People all to often allow their emotions to interfere with logic. If you can provide an example that takes them out of their emotion filled bubble they are then able to look at the problem more objectively.
And I believe that I was the first one to bring up the original argument, I was just restating it along with the new example to make sure that anyone reading the post would understand my stance without needing to look at the parent.
I do have one problem though, you say that you are merely bringing up the argument AGAINST using the research. Do you actually take this stance or did you just wish to illicit a longer response from me?
but if you don't use the research then didn't all of this happen for nothing? It's just like studying the psychological effect of war on soldiers. It's really horrible that the soldiers had to suffer, but we should at least get some positive out of the ordeal, more than just the furthering of our political agenda.
Definitely get enough RAM, the OS relies so heavily on RAM that it will literally move at half the speed unless you have enough. Going from way too little(128) to a decent amount(640) even the pop-up menus work more quickly.
Hop on e-bay and look for something like an iBook G3, I got a 12" model with an airport card for $600. $100 later I had a 512 MB DIMM and a very useable laptop.
Unless you are doing a lot of video editing a G3 should be enough of a computer to allow you to get used to OS X and see if you like it without spending too much on a new box. You can also pick up a B&W G3 on e-bay for around $100.
I am definitely an apple user, so my advice will be a little biased, but I think that you should try out the Apple world before you make a serious commitment. There are sure to be some differences in the OS and a small learning curve, but if you get used to all of those before you spend $2k I think that you'll be much happier. Also, by starting with a slower machine you'll be able to gauge what speed machine will really suit your needs in the future.
AFAIK the Nazi's did follow the scientific method when performing their experiments, but were extremely biased when deciding on the assignment of attributions after the data was collected.
will you please stop...we're sick of hearing about your closet mac fetish. We've answered this question many times, if it really is for your wife just get her what she wants...if it's for you just get it anyways, no one will judge you.
And if you really must get a PC just place it in a cabinet somewhere and never look at it.
One side of me says that the research is there and there's no reason not to use it, but another part says that using it just says that there was some valid reason to torture those people.
But, by not using the research the people who were tortured went through it for nothing. We can all agree(I hope) that the torture was a horrible act and shouldn't be something that happens in the future, but since it did we should try to at least make some good of it.
I think that in the article they are referring the development house when they say developers. And I doubt that the author is against the idea of an independent game, he is simply pointing out the fact that as games become more complicated there will be a need for a greater number of people and a larger amount of money to complete a game.
As the resources required to make a game increase so does the financial risk. Previously a small company could probably have weathered a bad title, but now the cost of making that title could bankrupt a company if the title flops. Peer approval is still important in the game industry, but for a development house to keep its doors open it will need to come up with at least some commercially successful games.
by having everything stored on CDs and DVDs aren't you still keeping the data on some type of system? The only difference is that the info is now on a very easily transportable medium.

his percentage is only calculated by counting 4 keywords in the channel. It really has nothing to do with the amount of traffic or even the amount of chat going on, just when those words are mentioned.
as to the definition of a hacker...I wish that more people would properly use the word, or will hackers have to come up with a new term to describe themselves without public outrage.
when your wife asks for the "cute little mac" just get it for her, trying to force your sense of what a good computer is on her is a little selfish. How would you feel if you asked for a nice BMW and she came home with a similar Toyota?
I have to say that I did consider all of this when making my previous statement, but my fingers are not agile enough to type all of that:)
I do agree that the term personal computer can be applied to anything that contains the main components of a computer and functions as such, but for the sake of clarity I left that out of my argument. After reading the parent's post I concluded that his definition of Personal Computer was the commonly accepted, marketable definition and replied with that in mind.
How can PCs be #3 when they are the requirement for #1 (if #1 is indeed teh intarweb)
PCs are not required for the internet to function. Almost any consumer good that you purchase now has a version with internet connectivity; these range from the obvious, cellular telephones, to the not so obvious, washer/dryer, oven, refrigerator, etc... PCs just happened to be the first such item that most individuals used to connect to the internet. The internet itself is far more valuable to society than just a forum to host hypertext documents.
...but my idea for a diabetic testing supply would be a small device that was implanted along side one of the user's veins, where it would have access to the blood stream. This device would then have a short range wireless interface that allowed the user to monitor their blood glucose levels without needing to draw blood. I thought the the idea would also hold great promise for body builders or anyone else who was really concerned with controlling their nutrition. As far as I know I haven't seen anything like it, but if anyone else has please let me know, I'd be extremely interested in the design and implementation.
I *want* to be able to connect to any of my home machines from work, and vice-versa (firewall permitting). I would *love* to have my own block of portable address space for me to do with as I please.
I already do all of this, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, it just requires that you correctly setup your router at home and know your ip address. I use dyndns with my router and have each machine setup to be accessible from a different port number.
IT departments need to keep the number of supported applications at a managable level. They cannot be experts at dealing with everything.
Yes this is very true, but if given the choice between two pieces of software that the help desk staff is equally capable of supporting, one would tend to suggest the software that would cause the fewest number of problems. Our biggest problem at the time was malware, we found that the few sites FireFox had a problem rendering were much less of a problem than the 1000s of pieces of malware that would be installed on our systems. We usually found that most users would visit the same group of sites every week and rarely changed their surfing habits(personal page view excepted). For the few users that frequented sites that FireFox did not handle well we typically took a policy of education, bringing the user up to speed on the threat of malware, and equipping the user with the tools to combat it. I must definitely say that I do see your point, but I also think that a little extra time on each help desk call educating the users as to why something went wrong reduces the overall call volume in the future.
thank you for the clarification. Hopefully, OFoto takes the "proper" approach and attempts to help their customers get their work done on time using the tools that they find to be the most useable.
basically, it looks as if they are operating under the assumption that you are using internet explorer, but not the latest version. This is most likely a form letter that they send out to cover 99% of complaints. When looking at the vulnerabilities that have been exposed to the general public upgrading to the latest version of IE does look a little more secure. Just out of curiosity, how did you phrase your question?

they fold it in different ways unique to the denomination. And if you look at coins(US) they have different sizes and different textures
