he's a rebel. He's stickn' it to the establishment by conforming to an establishment... He's a tricky one. Thank GOD for people like him that compel us to think inside the box.
BTW on his game show "Win Ben Stein's Money" I recall him doing poorly on the SCIENCE and SPACE categories.
Me too! I noticed my web browsing experience was painfully slow when I used a non-encrypted client such as Miro (with my own throttling). When I used uTorrent with encryption no problems.
Not to be trite, but you'd think documentaries (mockumentaries) like SuperSize Me would bring attention to just how bad that really is. You'd think it would be on the decline. That's sad.
We're talking about the initial provocation. If the robot blindly and automatically targets that's a provocation to the friendly. If a human soldier is in the same place they have more of a situational awareness that can be lost to a remote operator. They can use their training to communicate that they are a friendly to not create that initial provocation. This can be done before anyone is looking down the barrel of their gun at you.
Exactly if it auto targets it could potentially provoke someone that it did not intend to (even a friendly). Picture a scenario where a friendly soldier comes into a room and the robot auto targets because they're firing at a enemy. The friendly gets startled and starts firing at the robot. The operator on the other end gets startled and opens fire on the friendly.
My company is run exactly this way. End-Users should have some personal responsibility. If I lose a day of productivity because I hosed my laptop that's between me and my manager to figure out.
My company handles this by saying they're responsible for application X, Y, and Z and the OS on your computer. If you managed to hose your system they won't do anymore than re-image your laptop. This seems to keep most users in line at my company from installing dumb shit to hose your laptop. Makes me a Software Dev behave myself too!
It's certainly not perfect, but my gigantic fortune 500 company does this and everything seems to be just fine. This combined with the fact that the PC support people are braindead.
I thought they could approximate the radius pretty well based on the dimming the planet does to the star as it passes across it. This provided the orbital planes lines up right for our viewing. Or does this only apply to large planets?
Really depends how they do it. If they say to every middle manager cut 10% of your staff... that's the wrong way to do it That's what 3Com did during the bubble bust (3Who? you say).
If they strategically cut groups that are not performing (including the managers)... that's cutting the fat.
From Google: The App Engine datastore is not like a traditional relational database. Data objects, or "entities," have a kind and a set of properties. Queries can retrieve entities of a given kind filtered and sorted by the values of the properties. Property values can be of any of the supported property value types.
Say you create a successful app that really starts to take off. Are you stuck with google because the DB API will require massive rework if you want to migrate to another vendor.
Yes I grew up on the cusp of Americans becoming pussified. In the 7th grade 15 yrs ago.. we had a brilliant gym teacher that made up a game called Q-Soccer (his last name was Quedenfeld). The game was a cross between football (American), soccer, rugby, and basketball. This was when gym class was still fun. The game involved little bit of contact, though not as much as football game with pads. Well incidentally some kid was running and twisted and broke his ankle. No contact was involved. His parents turned around and sued the school to have the game banned. Gym class was no longer fun after that.
Vincent Price!! I'll have to check that out. I'm not opposed to the movie deviating from the book as long as it's good. Speaking of multiple movie adaptations I'm actually fonder of a PBS version of the book: Lathe of Heaven. A&E did a later version starring James Caan and Lisa Bonet, but it was barely watchable.
Yeesh... dead horse already. I asked for examples and I sure got it. Obviously I didn't read the book so I wasn't enveloped in the story as much as you guys. As for Muad'Dib sounding Islamic... I had no idea. Guess I'm a Dune poser then.
I see how you correlate the examples you provide for the power struggle for resources, but I don't see how they're specific to Islamic culture. Provide examples that are specific to Islamic culture.
I only made it halfway through it. I couldn't believe how pretentious it was. David Lynch's version was good, but I'd like to see a modern adaptation closer to the book.

Then there is no hope for us.
They need to make Neosapiens first.
Me too! I noticed my web browsing experience was painfully slow when I used a non-encrypted client such as Miro (with my own throttling). When I used uTorrent with encryption no problems.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone on slashdot to mention this.

So what you're saying is CA plans to subsidize our internet connections... sweet!

The more we hate him the stronger he becomes!
You've got to entertain yourself some how watching soccer. (ducks)
Me too and during the exact same time frame. I could not get to any websites. I live in South Eastern PA.

True... I'll take Omega Man any day over I am Legend.

Can they model government indifference to the people's plight?
