...and the side argument would be that this is just one gene which has shown links to brain growth. There are so many more, that you probably can't actually read much if anything at all into it either way.
Well, one of the limiting factors when it comes to how intelligent you can be (note that many people don't hit this limit) is how big your brain can grow. Of cause what you fill your head with is going to make a difference, but generally speaking, more room inside your skull = more room for your brain to grow.
yeah i was thinking a -1 redundant moderation for itsatrap, because it is totally meaningless tag. Although I did think it was funny appearing on the story of the MS guy who was going into space:-p
I trust you don't agree? That would be such a pain. You'd have to carry around cash with you all the time for the tollbooths... forget to and you're stuck? Not to mention the problems you run into when a business is getting someone to drive something for them. They have to make sure the driver has cash on him, and collect receipts afterwards? With no tax going towards it, the toll is going to be fairly high too, as it's got to cover the cost of the road, and bring in money for further development. Which means you'll also need security at the boothes, as you're going to have a chunk of cash building up there. And SO many other problems.
Or, you could have some automated system, where registration plates are scanned and you're billed at the end of the month, but then you need a central authority/database for that, and some kind of enforcement to protect against this new road fraud, where your driving gets billed to someone else. And all the complaints about being tracked wherever you go by this central authority.
Without the central authority, you could register with each road operator, and carry round a different card/etc for each of them. Nightmare for anyone who does anything more than the odd bit of driving.
There's just so many problems I could go on for quite some time. No, the road tax method is by far the simplist. But then, anti-statists/anti-authoritarians/hippies are kinda known for not being able to see and understand the true effects of what they naively suggest.
"This "Intellipedia" was announced as A "top secret" Intellipedia system, not a system for managing "top secret" content"
I think at worst you're splitting hairs, and at best you're interpreting an ambigious sentence in the not-intended way. A "top secret content management system" could be read as "a [top secret content] management system", or "a [top secret content management system]" easily enough.
"The Intellipedia is essentially a document"
No, it's a system that will hold, index, and manage documents, and control access to them, a sort of computerised version of filing rooms within the pentagon. We know of its existance, but can't exactly reach its contents.
On the other point, you're forgetting the side where knowing that the agencies have this new collaborative tool may decrease the chance that someone thinks they're gonna get away with planning something, and increase public confidence. This effect could outweight the risk of people knowing that it exists.
"That might help avoid errors of the kind that led to the widely criticized 2002 national intelligence estimate that said Saddam Hussein possessed large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction."
Of cause it would... because they would give write access to the wiki to governments of countries they're about to invade, who would be able to correct the articles to say "we got nuffin boss".
Could be, providing a tagging system. For example, any persons names that appear in a page should be tagged as a persons name. Transcriptions of telephone calls could be tagged as such, with the date/time etc. Would make automated cross referencing, building structured queries, more fruitful.
What's with this "post 9/11 world"? Surely, it was what you needed PRE 9/11.
"We must find and kill them before they can try to kill us"
Yes, everyone will agree with you once you've killed everyone who doesn't. It's a good job threats from the US don't put other countries on the defensive, and doesn't make people want to fight back.
Believe it or not, there are people out there with valid grievances about the way America conducts its business. Killing them doesn't make Americas actions, which their grievancies are about, any less wrong.
"and definitely not a 'metaphore', whatever the hell that is"

And no I didn't completely misread the post, I just took a different conclusion from the analogye, based on a little extra knowledge of how the two affect things differently. GPL uses restrictions to try and promote a common good, and many restrictions in the world of commerce are there for the same purpose (such as antitrust laws, when used properly). He may not have meant to point that out, but it was anyway.
No, he's saying that restrictions can be used and applied to a common good, and absolute restrictless freedom is not always the most fruitful way forward.
and not to mention the infrastructure which life and business is carried out upon. For example, saying "taxes hurt business" totally ignores how much having no roads would hurt business.
I'll figure out how to translate that into black-vs-white for the rest of slashdot soon.
"You'll never make multiple DNS requests for the same host in a short period of time"
We're not talking about the same host... the parent poster said:
"I have pipelining on, which may be why multiple hosts is a net loss for me, instead of a gain"
and I explained that dns lookups for connections to the second host can be occuring in the background while data is being transferred over the connection to the first (ie, when an tag is found pointing to another host in an html page that's downloading, a new connection can be spawned to that server, before the html page has finished downloading).
"Even without pipelining, you can make multiple HTTP requests to different hosts while the first is busy. Again, this has nothing to do with DNS"
Again, I replied within the context of the parents post, which, for example, said:
"Approaches that add extra DNS lookups really aren't going to help"
So, to say that approaches that add extra DNS lookups have "nothing to do with DNS" is just silly. It's all about context, which your post seems to have missed altogether.
100% correct. One of my old clients switched over to using flash for videos, and more people can watch them now, and easier, than ever before.
You can't complain at people because your choice of OS is missing software to view their files. I have this new idea of picking the tools you need, then installing the OS required to use them. On my servers, firewall, media machine, I run linux. On my laptop I use for browsing+work, I use windows. In each case, I picked the best tools for the job.
Depends on server load; how many of the objects are static vs dynamic etc. 5-10 connections for images might be okay, but for dynamic objects it might not be. Perhaps it should be specifiable within the html page?
Keep-alive sends the next request after the first has completed, but on the same connection (this requires the server to send Content-length: header, so it knows after how many bytes the page has finished loading. Without this, the server must close the connection so the browser knows it's done).
Pipelining sends requests out without having to wait for the previous to complete (this does also require a Content-length: header. This is fine for static files, such as images, but many scripts where output is sent straight to the browser as it's being generated will break this, as it won't know the content length until generated has completed).

Well done, you've realised there shouldn't be two different standards for americans vs everybody else. Please spread the word.
I was actually commenting on the idea of stopping people who might try and kill by killing them.
Yeah but you know they're gonna try distract everyone by pointing out Clintons revisions to whether he had sexual relations with "that woman".
"But really, if it's so top secret, how come the whole world knows about it?"
I know the pentagon exists, but I don't know what's written on all of the documents within it. I think that's the important bit.
