Don't forget Wall St. We have been artificially holding interest rates at 0 for 7 years now just to give an enormous boost to the financial industries. That far exceeds the dividend to Alaskans. Nobody is making any noise about that.
Simply put code in the system to allow remote redirection and then in high density areas have a system scan a car using IR. If the car doesn't have a human shaped heat source in it then pull the car over and have an officer verify occupancy.
That just means that each terrorist attack will be preceded by a kidnapping.
Now define "unmodified humans". People who have had appendectomies are lighter than the rest, so that's an unfair mod, right? People who have had polio vaccine are much stronger than people who have had polio, so that's clearly an unfair advantage.
Too late. One third of MLB pitchers have now had surgery to allow them to continue pitching at a high level. But steroids will still get you banned. Seems sort of inconsistent to me.
And her quote "But because our very survival can depend on it"... really? Really?! Melodramatic, much? When's the last time a female developer was ever assaulted at work? And no, "nice ass" doesn't count as a threat to your life, though it is a crude remark (unless you're Tom Brady).
I know one. Her manager got mad and grabbed her by the throat. He didn't even get back to his cubicle. He got walked out the door by HR, told to wait at home to find out if the woman would press charges. Real companies take these things seriously.
No, I do not want a watch that is meant to sell my private information to third party, ass-holes like Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. etc. etc.
The "price" of a good in a market is not merely what people want to pay for it. For example, how many people would buy a yacht for 100 dollars? Probably a lot more then buy one now at its current price of about 10 million to 100 million dollars depending on how big it is... but can you charge 100 dollars to sell yachets? No... you won't even break even on the costs.
and yet this is exactly the model for phones and printers. Sell below cost and have a captive revenue stream.
One difference between enterprise software companies and consumer software is that over 50% of the enterprise revenue is for support. Virtually none for consumer software because people are unwilling to pay for it and the product lifetime is short.
Yes. It is trivial to make data structures that do bounds checking automatically. I remember this being on by default in Pascal in the 80's. Those who prefer speed over security won long ago. Why slow down a processor that can only do 1 billion instructions per second with an extra test and branch?
I used to be a project manager. Although I wrote some code, I didn't become a full time software developer until I went with a startup 6 years ago when I was 55. I don't think I ever ran into problems with culture, maybe because the company was not a monoculture as described above. The software group had Indians, an Orthodox Jew, Asians, etc. That might be more typical of East Coast companies. Ages ranged from 20's up and I think all ideas were respected. The problems I had were not with the engineers but with the company management who made some pretty terrible decisions and did not respect my (or anyone else's) experience. I am now a happy Principal Software Engineer at a larger company, also with no problems with the engineers and with much better management.
I'm pretty sure Occupy Wall Street managed to increase exposure of a problem without burning down some buildings too. Attacking infrastructure to draw attention to your cause does nothing but cement your status as a criminal and harm sympathy for your cause.
So obstructing access to a building is ok,but not obstructing access to a website? Or did they burn down a website, I'm confused.
Shall we take that twisted logic to the next phase and say if you get shot it's partly your fault because you weren't wearing a bullet-resistant vest? After all, you knowingly wore something which wasn't secure (your shirt/jacket) so obviously it's partly your fault for getting shot.

Don't worry. We can always borrow it from the Social Security fund.

Shoes are "non-human appendages". Clothes are "non-human appendages". Should people have to compete in bare feet and naked?
Another reason to keep women's volleyball in the Olympics.

I wonder why there's no sudden jump in the data then?
Sorry for confusing you with the facts. Carry on with your beliefs.
You are just SO wrong

I'd like a very *simple* smart watch...
* Simple caller-ID and memo display, programmable shortcut buttons, nothing else.
* Very long charge life comparatively (2 weeks would be okay) and/or very easy charging (put it on a charging pad).
I would like mine to also tell time.

I already have a phone to do that.
MPS maybe, not GPS.
bikse are not the raod people you make them pour out there money on this
I'll have one of what you're drinking.
man perlref
If you haven't figured out what's wrong with that yet, I question whether you have experience working with any properly designed languages.
I figured out what's wrong. That should be: perldoc perlref
Astroturf is on sale this week at Home Depot.

Depends. Are you in Afghanistan?
In my day we didn't have these video games. We played Buzkashi with a goat carcass.
Except that many states have made it illegal.
