Mod parent up. There's no way around the principles of economics, and we can only be in denial about this for so long. It's much more effective to just accept reality for what it is, and deal with the ramifications, as stated above.
You say that as if it would be challenging to make an exception to this for these security-critical systems. It's not as if random individuals like me are successfully running something else on their home computers..
That doesn't sound right to me. When playing something like Counterstrike, UT, or Quake, reaction time is key, and the environment is usually very familiar in multiplayer maps. There's little reason to be keeping an eye out for anything that's not a person, and if there's pickups, they're usually in static locations, so there's no need to visually search for those either.
Git, or one of the other newer systems, are more flexible in how they exchange commits, and should be used over svn for new repositories unless you're resistant to learning new things (see github if you want it to be like svn and don't want to administrate the central repository yourself). Second, if the GP can't convince his colleagues to not use Office 2007, the chances of getting them to use LaTeX are pretty small.
Those are all really good points, I guess what I really mean to say is that I'm waiting for them to start putting m***o Linux stacks on their flagship phones like the N8.
I agree with you on this, and I've been desperately waiting for them to just give up on Symbian and focus on Linux phones. However, in the meantime, they are putting a lot of effort into growing the Qt API so as to minimize the pain of supporting two platforms at once. This is good for the Linux desktop as a side effect, because it provides a well documented, one-stop API for developers to write portable desktop apps that run on Unix-like operating systems, OS X, and Windows. Developers also used to have to pay to develop against Qt, and now it uses the same license as glibc.
Comparing us to computers is not as flawed and not as misleading, because DNA is in fact data, and does encode behaviour, in the same way that a stream of bits can encode data or actions. The difference is that DNA is base-four and is interpreted through molecular machinery in ways that are far more complicated than any human-designed instruction set or data format. The analogy holds, otherwise. This isn't the same as blindly comparing organisms to other human-made stuff, because computers are programmable, and the other stuff is not.
BS it didn't happen. They're already doing it to HTC, they have a history of doing it in the past (see TomTom, Amazon, etc.), and they even have a list of shakedowns published, if a citation is needed. Sure, not all of those are proper shakedowns, but most of them are.
I don't think you can change or fix any of that stuff with a special spatial arrangement, but the different force/distance curve exhibited by these arrangements probably has implications for efficiency.
Fox has had quacks on their show too, if they think it would fit their narrative. It's fun when the guests don't play along as well as they expected. Despite this, I agree with you completely: the existence of one bad news organization out there clearly illustrates that looking for news anywhere outside of the US is a bad idea.
You say that as if they called themselves that in a serious way before they were publicly accused of being corrupt, and the Wikipedia article you cite credits the investigations and prosecutions to a bunch of federal bodies, with no link to the governor of Alaska.
Look, if all of the news organizations in the US are biased in one way or the other, that doesn't make it OK to watch Fox News. The right answer is to get your news from outside the country.
C, C++, and other languages are an abstraction of what actually happens in the executable, OS, and hardware. Not everything that the abstraction exposes has a one to one mapping with what is going on in the layers below. Ignoring this fact can result in code that is very expensive for the language to implement. There isn't always one right way to implement something like an array of booleans that works best in every use case, and the compiler usually doesn't know as much about usage in a given context as you do.
Nothing screams "there is no hope!" like running around with a video camera filming someone's daily routine (you probably have enough footage by now, anyway). The medical system may not have anything else to offer for someone with stage 4 cancer, but that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do. You should check out the following, and focus on improving your wife's chances of survival instead of assuming she's going to die:
Even if it's their right, this doesn't preclude you from acknowledging that it's ethically wrong to so thoroughly abuse children's education curricula as a tool to influence their political leanings from such a young age. These changes to their curriculum are obviously politically motivated, when they should be guided by whatever our honest understanding of US history was. This is like the history rewriting that goes on under dictatorships, only less extreme being that it's a product of the Texan political process instead of e.g. Turkmenistan's. They wanted to call the slave trade the "Atlantic triangular trade", for fuck's sake.
I can't speak about the stuff other than engineering, but the problem with engineering design projects is that there's enough time to do something cool, but not to polish and deploy it in a way that will have a lasting impact. Of course, with a sufficient change of curriculum to make time for this, it would be possible, but one is then tasked with the tough problems of promoting high success rates while grading product failures fairly (since it would obviously not be fair to fail someone for not changing the world on their first try). It would certainly be better than what happens now though. The design project courses in my program get most of their grading from written reports, and only last 3 months (though 4th year design courses span two terms, at least).

What "things" you're talking about other than people?

For the record, it was actually called EGCS, and officially replaced the original GCC branch in 1999 with the GCC 2.95 release.
WiFi and wireless do not mean the same thing..

Especially considering that DNF will probably come out first.

This isn't a game in progress, it's modern politics, and thousands of barrels of oil a day gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.
Mod parent up. There are plenty of people out there who buy this BS, and the only way to fix that is to speak out from the opposite direction.

You can't possibly believe that the adjustments made by the Texas board of education are resulting in a more correct version of history being taught.

What makes you think that this app would make the screen more blue at night? It seems to do exactly what you think it should.
