I'd just like to point out, before Dlink get too much criticism, that there are many companies that avoid this situation by violating the terms of the GPL by not making the source code available or even displaying the terms of the license.
Ok, Dlink made a mistake, however I think it is a good thing that they being sincere to the terms of the license. Well done Dlink, they will fix the problem and I will be happy to buy their products over other vendors who violate the terms of the GPL.
Is an animal sex robot ok? What about a juvenile animal sex robot? What about a cartoon animal sex robot, is that ok? Is filming two sex robots fucking considered porn or the instruction manual?
Yes,yes,yes and yes.
It's better than using the real thing.
Better to hire someone with a Bachelors in Business Accounting who has actually some experience in project management instead.
I studied PMP and PMBOK in my masters work and I find the cert to be quite useful. I think it is disappointing the amount of spamming that goes on around what is actually one of the most useful things, outside of programming, for a programmer to know.
It is not an easy certification to gain and the leadership roles imply a certain skill set that is beyond PMP itself that involve the development of emotional intelligence (or people hacking as I like to think of it). In my experiences it has proved to be the most useful in improving my ability to interact with people and waaaay outside of my comfort zone when I took it on.
So far it has had a very positive impact on my career.
I'm referring to radionuclide contamination as a result of these releases that are difficult to detect in the food chain or as inhalants, as opposed to localized emitted radiation.
Well, yours is the first sane comment I've seen on this discussion and with all the ad-homing of this woman, I couldn't figure out if I agreed or disagree with her.
I think a sex aid of this kind could be very useful for people with disabilities to be able to use it in a way specific to their needs to maintain their mental health. Alternately, she does have a point and will it be used for someones messed up fantasy? Probably, but better a machine than a person.
I suspect that the opinions of many of the people here would suddenly change if the discussion was about making a juvenile robot. I doubt they would feel so morally superior, after all it's just a machine, so it leads to the question of what sort of sex robot is ok? Is an animal sex robot ok? What about a juvenile animal sex robot? What about a cartoon animal sex robot, is that ok? Is filming two sex robots fucking considered porn or the instruction manual?
Attacking this woman's looks or anything else before actually understanding exactly what her argument is kinda shows off a bit of a insecure beta male mentality I don't really buy into. Sex robots are probably inevitable, the market for them is massive and it's also kind of sad.
One thing is for sure, it going new forms of human sexuality in ways we have never confronted and the morality police will be out there telling us right from wrong.
Bezos said the company hopes to launch people from Exploration Park later this decade.
Someone needs to remind Jeff that launching people is the easy part. In fact when you sit people on top of that much rocket fuel, it's pretty hard NOT to launch them. Getting them to where they need to in one piece, however. Well that's tricky.
Well it's debatable whether it would matter to Bezos if they lost a crew from the way Amazon works.
I think he's referencing Chernobyl, which is so inhabitable, there are people living there right now and Belarus is already reclaiming land that was originally in the exclusion zone. Sure you don't want to go partying up in the Red Forest, but most of the zone is very much habitable
Except for people who have, or want to have, children.
I put it at the time of Wilson and FDR, both big-government, proactive Presidents who represented a shift towards authoritarianism that the majority of the people wanted at the time.
It is difficult to tell since the imperialism was a part of war, but also because (at least from my limited understanding) that FDR was not exactly avoiding it. He welcomed being Supreme ruler. You might have a better understanding of it than I do.
I'm not sure which politician asked German government officials at Nuremberg why it was the only treaty that they supported with Japan saying that the U.S may not have been at war with them if they had not declared it on the U.S.
Perhaps the question is, who really won WW2 because it's clear that no one is defending the U.S Constitution right now, or any Western Constitution. Why hasn't O sued for a restoration of the Bill of rights? They are obviously powerful interests.
And worse, people seems to have forgotten, or else too young to understand, that things were VERY different for 200 years.
The apathy is ingrained now.
I put the beginning of the end with the administration of Reagan. W just finalized the work started in the age of the "moral majority" and the "war on drugs." Of course others may put it further back with McCarthy and the Red Scare.
Raygun and G.WarTimePresident.B? I think that davide marney might have a point with FDR. The concern is with the here and now, democratic process is being stolen from the people and no one cares. It is the wholesale conversion of rights to capital as nations constitutions are being raided by governments hostile to democratic process. When does it stop being 'covert' authoritarianism.
I wonder if our telescopes will ever be able to find more fundamental ways of detecting the physical modifications made to planets and star systems? One example, looking for orbital perturbations caused by using space elevators.
One only has to look at the TV to see that serious democracy no longer exists
I don't disagree, but what do you mean by "serious democracy"? There is no one thing called democracy: there are many ways of running a democratic-like system. It's just unfortunate that in some countries the people seem happy to accept that "voting" == "democracy".
What I mean by 'serious democracy' is where people actually participate beyond voting in the elections. They write, debate and discuss the affairs of their nation with each other instead of talking about sports or reality tv shows. This whole philosophy of 'don't talk religion or politics' is the bullshit that promotes the ignorance that pervades our society and has effectively turned us into a consumer culture.
Ignorance is the most unattractive feature of a population, especially with the tools of education everywhere, cheap and available. The net wasn't invented for facebook, vines and twitter comments. It was (partly) invented as the educational tool of a serious democracy and I sense that it is going to take a serious economic collapse for the average person to become involved.
Indeed. The end of the constitutional protections afforded to people of most western nations was destroyed by the passage of the 'homeland' security acts in their countries by power hungry politicians seeking control of the population and its resources.
Hitler used to call Nazi Germany 'homeland' and that was the last time the phrase was used by a despotic government of a apathetic ignorant people made so by vested interests all around.
The signs of Empire are everywhere and serial war, surveillance are the consequence of the destruction of the people's right to due process.
If you are smart enough to ask this question and understand why you should want to do so then the only answer is a frontal lobotomy that turns you into one of the ignorant mass of people that generated this state of affairs in the first place. It applies to all western countries however America's Benjamin Franklin summed it up best (to paraphrase) when he said that 'ultimately the demise of *any* democracy comes from the corruption of the people'.
One only has to look at the TV to see that serious democracy no longer exists, that we have moved from a covert to an overt surveillance state and that you are asking for a way out of the new world order.
I think it is intrinsic to discourage the kind of workplace that Amazon is creating because it just shows that things really can be a lot worse than they are.
For children with lazy eye, the patch is generally worn for a few hours a day for 6 months to a year. The older you are, the less well patching works (presumably because your brain is less plastic in these regards).
I had lazy eye when I was a child and the treatment was eye exercises using different cards with shapes, focal exercises (a string with focus markers on them held out from the face) and a pen that you move around and maintain focus on. I got some awesome headaches doing it however I didn't need glasses for 40 odd years.
Recently it has made a re-appearance and I was dismayed to find that I was just prescribed glasses, which help, but even for the few weeks I've had them I've noticed that it just makes the good eye less capable of seeing and the lazy eye even worse, so I stopped wearing them because they seemed to be making the condition worse.
I'm doing the exercises again and working through the headaches and regularly cover the good eye to force the lazy eye to focus, it seems better however I have to make a conscious effort to focus and another to not let my eyes go *out* of focus.
It is annoying and I hope this research will help. Thanks for the link to the tetris game treatment, which will be the next thing to try.
that it should be illegal to use it against someone against their will... sure.
But to even own it? No.
You can't do system testing without tools that are effectively hack tools. And even if you've no good reason to have it, it isn't the government's place to say what programs we have or don't have.
The Australian government tried to do this in the '90's. I wrote to them making exactly that point as I was securing clients to what is now ISO17799. Legislators around the world are getting a lot of bad advice about what laws should be constructed. Geeks/Nerds should participate more when laws are being made regarding technology.
I've often find myself wondering how much more actual business and computer work I could do, personally, without writing to say 'that's a bad idea and it will hurt us thus' and making sure the communications are respectful enough to have an impact.
Like it or not Geeks and Nerds have found themselves at the apex of activity where new laws are being constructed around the world and my experiences are that it makes sense to read and understand proposed laws so as to understand the potential impact on work in technology. Reading the laws proposed for many countries is no harder to read than a shell script, except you are the shell. You are subject to the effect of law as it's the language used to program the behavioral boundaries of a community, so sometimes you can shape it in a very small, but meaningful, way.

After reading the New York Times article on how Amazon treats it's staff I have made a point to avoid buying anything from Amazon at all. If I could only get it from Amazon, then I no longer need it.
I think it is intrinsic to discourage the kind of workplace that Amazon is creating because it just shows that things really can be a lot worse than they are.
...if actually they didn't run out of stock, and they're buried in a landfill next to a bunch of Lisas and Newtons...
and IBM PC juniors.

Interestingly he did do editing
Slashdot "editing" is not editing as the rest of the world understands it.
It's editing Jim, but not as we know it.
Lobsters eat sea star fish and are much tastier than a robot, perhaps we should breed thousands of tasty meals to eat up star fish.

It's a simple, clean font. He took special care to make sure l,I, and 1 all look different, as well as 0, O. Looks good at low resolution.
Indeed yes, I've just installed the odf hack font in ~/.fonts of my cygwin install and a simple
shows it to be a very readable, now default, font for me. It is still quite readable even at 8 points!.
