I think what is missing from most parents is the follow through
This.
I hear constant streams of "if you don't do XXXX then I'm going to YYYY" from parents but they never actually seem to do it. If they actually do try to follow up the kid will scream for 0.0005 seconds and the parent instantly gets all apologetic.
Don't be afraid to let kids scream a couple of times. Totally ignore them when they do it. They'll soon figure out it doesn't work.
Pet hate #2 is parents who constantly ask kids what they want to do today, what they want to eat, or whatever. You don't ask kids what they want, you tell them. You put whatever it is everybody else is eating on a plate in front of them and tell them to eat it. If they don't eat it, they go hungry.
It's exactly what double blind means. You don't tell the subjects whether they're in the active, placebo, or control groups.
Nope, that's a blind test.
Double-blind means the people handing out the pills also don't know if they're placebo or not. This eliminates any subtle body-language vibes they might be giving out to the people who swallow them.
The *only* way a Concorde could outrun either of these is if said Concorde had at least a 100-200 mile head start when the chase began, which was likely the case.
Nah. None of those could achieve those speeds without afterburner which used up their fuel in about 15 minutes. Concord could cruise at that speed for hours.
There's nothing wrong with OpenGL. If it's shit on OS then look to the drivers.
OpenGL ES was the one chance they had to make a clean start and save OpenGL (IMHO). The original OpenGL had become a maze of extensions and add-on functions.
They blew it. They actually didn't want people to use OpenGL ES on desktops, they wanted us to use one API for desktops and another, different one for mobile devices. Wasn't the whole point of OpenGL to be cross-platform?
PS: And how exactly were we supposed to develop for OpenGL ES when it doesn't run on desktops? Do all the coding on our phones? LOL!
Yep. I started reading it this week after a year away and it's a shadow of its former self. Zero content.
A USEFUL article summary would have told you to go to the messaging options page on your phone and disable automatic MMS retrieval. That will protect you from the vulnerability.
Instead we have all this useless crap about updating the OS (if you even can!!) and how millions of Android devices are about to be rooted, etc.
Slashdot Mirror
Doesn't it hurt your eyes when you switch back and forth between the editor and slashdot?
no link because code in it actually looks like ass and is hard to read
Agree. Modifying the 'i' look like an 'l' was a neat trick. I would never have thought of doing that.
Still, it looks like it was designed for people who think white-on-black is a good color scheme for text. You can't expect too much.
PS: And how would "low contrast" be seen as a good thing? Beats me.

...can be transported in a few medium-sized boxes
Is that a metric or US "medium-sized box"?
Are we using large or small values of "few" this summer? I can never remember.
...except that google gets to decide which adverts are played and which aren't.
I'm betting Google's own dancing monkeys will be as annoying as ever.
Yeah, when it's _us_ they're talking about it's all, "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to worry about".
When it's _them_? That's a different story....

Yep. Why would anybody use something so noisy and easy to spot as a drone? It makes no sense.
Hint: Use a big catapult/slingshot to fire stuff over the wall.
One thing's for sure: We're going to need a stronger selfie-stick.
Dear sir, I was replying to a person who wrote - and this is a direct quote form his post:
"One of the major reasons the Concord didn't do very well was that the USA banned it from their airports out of jealousy before it had even flown."
That is either a known lie, or really bad repetition of a falsehood, a statement not built on facts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It says something about "Scheduled flights began on 21 January 1976 ... the US Congress had just banned Concorde landings in the US".
Well...
Concorde: Mach 2.02
F-14 Tomcat: Mach 2.34
F-15 Eagle: Mach 2.50
F-16 Falcon: Mach 2.05
The *only* way a Concorde could outrun either of these is if said Concorde had at least a 100-200 mile head start when the chase began, which was likely the case.
Nah. None of those could achieve those speeds without afterburner which used up their fuel in about 15 minutes. Concord could cruise at that speed for hours.
It wasn't the ONLY reason, but yes, it was a major factor.
And I wouldn't say it 'failed'. It just didn't make much profit for the operators.
Another AC liar/troll. Yawn.

Haven't we already got to the point where 'fast' isn't really a problem any more?
Shouldn't we be looking more at things like 'reliable' and 'price'?
At what point does the money spent appeasing the MAFIAA and enforcing their laws equal the losses caused by 'piracy'?
Oh, wait. They haven't actually demonstrated any losses yet.
They don't really charge $50 for being 100 grams over though, do they?
You can be 100g under the limit with your carry-on....
Please read that back to yourself. See how it sounds...
Does the "Edge" designation mean it comes with Microsoft Edge? I'd totally buy one if it did.
If airlines charge $50 extra because your suitcase is 100 grams too heavy then they should weigh the passengers as well.
One or the other.... you can't have both.
Don't forget: Cisco has an interest in everybody trying to stream hi-def video across the Internet.
We would already have fusion if scientists had the money.
We got the F35! That's nearly as good as having cheap, emission-free energy forever...
OpenGL 4.1 was the first version with full support for OpenGL ES 2.0.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yep. OpenGL is pretty shit, specially on OS X.
There's nothing wrong with OpenGL. If it's shit on OS then look to the drivers.

If the OpenGL team were on the ball
That's a pretty big "if".
This is the team that actively fought against being able to use OpenGL ES on desktop machines.
(facepalm)
the fall of Slashdot.
