Schools already tell kids a bunch of stuff that they haven't thought about already. What schools don't do is provide a practically infinite medium for creative growth. Schools also disclose information at a rate based on the lowest common denominator. Talented kids waste years of their potential waiting around to learn something meaty. The internet provides a means around this roadblocking. Oh, by the way, this whole internet making kids more creative thing is already happening. WTG Sherlock.. scotland yard wants YOU! but jokes aside, I still heart this guy.
a dimension is an abstract mathematical idea. the dimensions of a system are the quantities required to describe its state. to quantify the space we see we need only 3. however, space is dynamic with time, and so now we have 4. to speculate more dimensions simply implies there is more that meets the eye. and to that I say: well, duh.
without Pole position, without space invaders, without Mario there wasn't a business model for video gaming. if you want innovation in the market, then innovate. if people like what you have to offer, then you are in a position to define the business model. this is natural selection, this is economics. the current model reflects what people actively seek from gaming. build it, and they will come.
I remember playing GTA in 1997 (or so) and saying "this should be in 3D !!" I had to stop and ask why it wasn't in 3D. Maybe there were no 3d engines? No, not so. GLQuake, Quake 2? Well, maybe disk space constraints? Not so, according to games like curse of monkey island and myst. So what gave? We didn't see it (gta3) until almost 2002. And we all know how that fared. I guess my point is the games industry is similar to the gold rush. The gold was there for ages.. it took explorer's spirit and a little initiative to make killers out of mimes.
It is my understanding that many IPs are owned in blocks, and are distributed to MACs by protocols like DHCP in a random or dynamic sort of way. With this in mind, it seems that denying communications to IPs based on some sort of history is analogous to discriminating against any group of people, eg. a country, based on the history of any individual within that group. Thoughts?

The Ministry of Truth wants to remind all citizens that ignorance is strength.
Also, an unknown projectile, on a trajectory from Pluto, has destroyed outgoing intergalactic crawler Discovery MXVI. In a press meeting today the intergalactic defense council of Earth declared a state of defensive war against the federation of Pluto. The Ministry of Peace said this about the incident, "We have always been at war with the federation of Pluto."
"The Art of Cooking is evolving fast in this 21st century. New food products are being designed with the help of molecular technology, genetic discoveries or space research before arriving in our kitchens. For example, here is a Pravda article which says that NASA is preparing sandwiches which will still be edible after seven years. "
Wow! A sandwich that is edible for seven years! The way cooking is rapidly evolving, it'll probably be obsolete by then! This is technohype marketing waiting to happen..
I realize this isn't a discussion about tenureship itself, but.. it's funny you mention mortality and tenureship in the same post (OK, I'm reaching..) I sometimes think of tenureship as less than ideal. At first the security of a tenured position may seem appetizing. However, I'm not sure I want to be in a position where termination is... well.. *terminal.* Why does he have to be tenured at LSU to develop computer tech? West coast seems better suited anyway..
Wow, people use the internet to waste time at work? Tell me something I don't know. This is as obvious as "the number one item ingested by humans is drink, followed closely by food."
Does the article mention what the internet is being used for? Does the article link to the report?
Speaking of eye candy and reliablity/faithfullness- reminds me of my wife, although she is neither... Sort of like my cell phone- I don't care about features, I just want one that actually gets good reception when used as a phone....
As opposed to your wife, who just wants the camera to take a good picture while she's pretending to have poor reception.
....isn't it a well known serect that Intel give price break to people who won't use AMD?
No, I haven't been receiving these benefits. Where may I claim them? I pay more for Intel processors. 'Well known' if you're, say, the handful of people who work with both companies.
I prefer Intel processors. The claims put forth by AMD in the linked document definately deserve some attention, but perhaps a) understanding your market or b) improving your product are equally as important.
white wizards traditionally use 'good' magic, while the black variety practice 'evil' magic. both schools have their strengths and weaknesses, and consequently are limited in their utility. red wizards are the 'jack of all trades' who are 'beyond good and evil.'
I suspect the guy who dropped some magic on your box was a bit of a salmon pigment.
Am I responsible for your actions? Can I vote for you? If you are elected, am I now responsible for your actions? No. If I and others were, impeachment would have never been drafted.
When MacOS is compatible with x86 processors, Apple would be fool not to sell it as an individual product. The brand is quite popular, perhaps more popular than some expect, and will have no problem finding its way onto many casual users desktops. No longer will people have to throw down the cash for an entire Mac just to have a trusted brand name windows alternative. However, as the brand becomes as normal as Windows in schools and the workplace, expect to see Macs line the shelves at Best Buy. Should this happen, you can also expect to see games released concurrently for both MacOS and Windows.
True geeks will always love their toys, and so Linux and alternative OS's will always have a place. With MacOS on the market, though, Linux's place will not be Best Buy.
This is freaky. An editorial wiki? Is that like a blog where the comments, including the initial article, change with the wind? What's the point? It's like a small child just learned how to do something his father can do, but doesn't realize its utility. Maybe I'm the one who doesn't get it?
It's mostly a literature review, which obviously attempts to use the 'majority must be right' fallacy to some mysterious end. The guy's an 'industrial psychologist,' though, so go figure.
To argue something so bold and broad that the size of the brain is an indicator for intelligence is frighteningly naive. If you leave your computer for a second and go meet a few people, you'll quickly realize that people with little heads have no problem outsmarting people with wide hats. This is about on par with 'people with big noses have big johnsons.' Don't read this publication if you're expecting any insight on anything other than a statistical analysis of random literature. You won't find any discussion of neuroplasticity here. I've a question I'd like to ask this guy: how come people 3 feet tall are smarter than you?
Jupiter is fucking huge, but let me assure you, I'd rather be back home. Bigger is not always better.

in a similar vein..

The phrase "cult classic" is code for "nerd culture." Bruce Campbell is, literally, the king of cult classicism. Thus..

au contraire monsieur! Corporations are individuals!
be careful, you're going to hurt someone's feelings.

Because that's what any linux desktop really needs -- more useless eye candy.
Don't worry man, all the artists use Windows.

this describes the entire star wars franchise fairly accurately. good job

notice this isn't a story about the stuffman's graduation from college! the study is obviously false.
macdonald's must love a study like this. "Scientists agree! Macdonald's has helped shape a better society for over six decades!"
Jeez, I hope not all Ph.D's are landed as easily as this guy's must have been. This is nothing more than modern phrenology. Here's a link to the actual publication: http://www.vcu.edu/uns/Releases/2005/june/McDaniel -Big%20Brain.pdf
