It doesn’t make any sense that labor in the United States is taxed so heavily relative to capital.
Speaking as an American, it makes perfect sense to me. Look who owns the policy makers. People like to say the American economy is broken. I say no, it's actually functioning very well according to design. You're just not who it was designed for.
...so I'm going to disrupt filming of the new movie!
Can you imagine how much it costs to do one take of a scene in this movie? "CUT! Fuck. Reset the $10,000 per shot animatronic thingy. There's a drone in the shot."
I would think olive oil a poor choice for making french fries. In general, olive oil has too low of a smoke point; it just doesn't get hot enough to fry things well. Maybe the increased pressure made a lower oil temp better?
I was always taught to use olive oil as a flavoring on pastas, salads, bread, etc. but never for actual hot-oil-cooking.
There is a very simple reason that I still use PHP quite a lot: there's a thriving market for it. If you are a good, responsible coder who knows how to navigate the pitfalls of PHP, people will pay you, and pay you well, to do it. Feel free to complain that PHP is a messy, crappy language; I'll agree with you all the way to the bank.
... Both parties want the US to be the center of learning and scientific breakthroughs.
I'm not so sure about that. That would require dedication to exceptional public education and broad funding of research. I don't see either party clambering to improve public education or allocating any significant funding to research anything unless it's designed to kill people.
Any production-ready autonomous vehicle will need programming to respond to emergency vehicles in its vicinity, such as an ambulance coming up behind. I imagine this same programming would result in the vehicle obediently pulling over if it sees red & blue flashing lights behind it.
I'd just like to point out here that the 28 people were not killed by the failure of the intercept system. They were killed by the nice folks who launched the missile in the first place.
My team has been using Springloops for about a year now and I'm very happy with it. The ability to configure multiple servers and deploy any revision to any server at any time is really fab. You can also set autoupdate to any server on every commit.
Doesn't just about every browser still claim to be Mozilla in the user-agent response?
Drupal changed my life

Using Drupal
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I'm not kidding. So much of what I used to do for a living is trivial with Drupal. Writing custom modules for our clients is fun again and I never have to worry about mundane every-site stuff like user management, perms, front controller dispatching...you name it; if it's common, Drupal will do it for you. Or a contrib module will.
I started picking up Drupal in late 2005, played and learned for a couple of years, and 2008 was almost entirely Drupal builds. From cookpolitical.com where we worked out serious data handling, to tobaccofreecenter.org in seven languages, to globalnetwork.org with it's graphic-heavy design, I've had a blast working with this system!
Er, I didn't actually mean to trot out portfolio highlights there...but what the hell, those are good examples of what you can do with Drupal (and how to make your Drupal site not look like a Drupal site). This is what happens when someone gets me talking about Drupal. Yay!
Back on-topic: Thanks for the review. I'll definitely be picking up this book. If it's anything like Pro Drupal Development from Apress, it'll pay for itself in the first chapter with some nugget that saves me an hour!
I live in Madison and hope to make it. Thanks for letting me know. I also just dashed off an email about this CC'd to Larry Palm (my alder) and the offices of the mayor and city attorney. I have no idea who has the real power in this situation, but it sounds like that meeting will be a good place to start.

I think this could work if the idea is exaggerated out to recognize deliberate rhythms. So your username or password are not just checked for characters but also for the time gaps between entering them. So even if my password was a weak dictionary string, it would also have to be entered to the rhythm and pace of Für Elise, as played by me.
... and while the story is awesome and often hilarious, it's also completely unnecessary.
I wholeheartedly disagree. Portal was all about the story. Without the story and the character dev between the player-character and the GladOS, it would just be a puzzle/maze game.
In fact, when I first fired up Portal, that's what I thought it was: a puzzle game. By level 13 I was mistrusting the AI, discovering the artifacts of previous test subjects, and thinking "WTF is going on here?" By the start of level 19 I knew I was in the middle of a story and not just a puzzle game. During the final credits I was grinning from ear to ear and feeling more satisfied than I have in a long time by a game.
My girlfriend was on the verge of tears at the end of the companion cube level.
None of that would have been possible without the story.
More to topic, though - I agree that shorter, episodic content is the way to go now.
Why would the military request coffins from a local undertaker? If they had alien corpses, I rather doubt they'd be interested in burying them. And they sure as hell wouldn't be transporting them around in something like a standard coffin.
Exactly!
The patch was released yesterday. As in, "Holy shit! Guys, this is bad, we need a patch yesterday!" If this were IE, a patch might be released in a month or two. I've never heard of an IE hole being closed before any exploits were released.
The response to the recent Firefox criticism/comparison has pretty much been, "Sure, as we grow, holes will be found. But we're in a far superior position to fix them and fix them fast."
I would say this is pretty good proof.
"The companies say they have to abide by local regulations, and point out that since China is set to be the world's biggest internet market, they cannot ignore it."
Sure they can. They just won't. Because human rights vs. profit is no contest to them.
standing on the wrong side of the article, cuz I see something different.
That said, I already have one LCD. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy another plain one and have two rather than scrapping this one for a fancy new double model?

Also, closing the drapes or blinds on the windows of your house are signs that you're probably doing something illegal inside.

Upgraded my Uverse to the maximum offered speed, cancelled my TV service. Most viewing happens through Netflix on the PS3.
Drupal is the worst form of CMS except for all the others that have been tried.
