No. This is done typically in India, just before elections, to make sure the voters forget their inefficiency and incompetency while choosing their leaders. This is nothing, compared to 80000 Crore rupees (US$ 20.8 billion) loan waiver before previous elections.
He is planning to prove that NASA never landed on Mars and then he will proceed to prove that NASA found human-like-creatures on Mars which NASA has hidden somewhere in Arizona.
Yep, I was thinking same. The laser from ground will limit its usefulness to line-of-sight distance only.
Another improvement could be to use solar heat on the fly and run Stirling Engine for additional power. That way the plane would be used for way longer period.
Could be. But TFA does not talk about the loads of features that make Android or iOS rich. For example security, extensibility (installing apps from market) and so on. They will have tough time matching lot of goodies existing OS has to offer.
I would say, have a brainstorm among programmers and project managers to understand their problems and create an excellent presentation that would highlight benefits of your solution. This way, your product would address pain points easily. I always think think that the solution, anybody has generated sitting in closet, fails to touch heart of the customers.
I'm just saying that the guy I replied to was fundamentally saying that the US needs to do nothing. That, I think is specious.
I like the way you have put it, and I support it. Keeping Earth clean is a collective responsibility and everybody, absolutely, needs to look at shit they are generating. And, US is no exception to that.
I hate Anonymous Cowards. Also, the fucking mods are mean to me.
Tee hee.
Hand over your password. IMMEDIATELY!!
Also hand over your facebook, orkut, twitter, Google+, redtube accounts and their passwords along with your Smartphone, Debit Cards, Credit Cards, urine sample, blood sample, sperm sample, DNA analysis reports. RIGHT NOW!!!
It is not all that difficult to create different account for the kids and ask them to use it religiously. I normally keep my home folder encrypted, so no matter how smart the Trojan is, will never get access to my data, as long as I am not logged in.
Absolutely. I have asked my employer to "f**k off", when they asked me to put my personal mobile number on business card. I am not on Facebook and if my prospective employer is going to judge me based on that and not by my coding skills, I better not work for him/her.
Well, I am for nuclear energy as much as you are. But I guess there is no harm trying renewable energy resources as much as humanly possible. Countries in Asia like India and countries in Africa like Kenya get huge solar energy and could start using them, with some backup nuclear plants. (I do not agree with GP that new nuclear facilities should no longer be built)
I disagree that SSD has anything to do with it. Average desktops already come with more than 500GB SATA drives. Nobody is stopping poor coder to push inefficient code to market as long as people are ready to throw money at it.
I sure as hell don't want to be treated by a doctor who doesn't understand evolution.
Think positive side of it. You have a hell of a doctor who is religious and who just prays for you and you are magically cured. No injections, no surgery required.
But for the first wave of personal computers? All Apple ever made in that era were computers that cost a shitload of money and did fuck-all. Especially the Lisa.
Many visions start like that. It still deserves credit to the visionary, because others could see flaws in it and make it better. You may have issues accepting this, but, it is a huge loss. Industry might find it very difficult to find a true visionary like him.
Software development requires Creativity, Discipline and many more things apart from Agile, and the process goes through lot of iterations, training, discussions and confidence building among developers to motivate them to follow process in the company. Also, the process to be adapted should be close to the type of Software company is focused on and what developers are comfortable with. Many process designers/implementers forget this fact and blindly throw something at them and expect results overnight and get surprised when it ends up disastrous.
It takes time to show them the processes are here to improve quality. Agile or any other Software Engineering process is not bad. The process of process implementation could be bad.
Also, process implementation is a difficult task if upper management believes that it is job of juniors.
So yes, I agree with you that Maybe they did it wrong way. If somebody believes Agile is going to work like a switch, they are mistaken.
If we don't get kids thinking realistically about how one could attack, they're never going to be able to anticipate and defend against real threats as adults.
Maybe you are right for few cases. And maybe this kind of thing might be able to help students down the road.
But that's not the point. At some point you are overexposing a younger mind to violence and social disorder. If that was supposed to wholeheartedly acceptable, we would not have had ratings for movies.
I am not even arguing about bad effect or impact on their innocent minds.
If there is a single student in the class who turns into attacker, for any reason whatsoever, we are basically making schools a training center for terrorists.
How do you anticipate weak points without thinking like that?
Yeah Right.
So let's start asking students to come up with some new innovative concepts for 'how to steal laptops', 'how to make a kid blind so he could be used as begger', 'how to rape', 'how to murder somebody and dispose body in acid' and many more.
Seriously, anybody who is trying that on students is out of his mind.
Sejnowski says he agrees with Kurzweil's assessment that about a million lines of code may be enough to simulate the human brain.
Million lines? It should take lot less for simulating many brains.
Dick Cheny------200,000 lines of code.
Bush--------------200 lines of BASIC code.
Cahn--------------4 lines of recursive function.
Steve Balmer---Who needs computer to simulate his brain?

This should be condemned no matter what. Press has freedom to adopt means, that might cross thin lines
A reporter trying to bribe authorities, to find bookies, is not a criminal, if he has authorization from his press to do so.
SSD's are like crack to bad applications.
I disagree that SSD has anything to do with it. Average desktops already come with more than 500GB SATA drives. Nobody is stopping poor coder to push inefficient code to market as long as people are ready to throw money at it.

Public debt ensures that all tax paying citizens are on the hook.
George W. Bush suddenly starts making sense to me :-D.
More than half of currently known pulsars were discovered by the Parkes Observatory.
That is commendable. Should have been part of summary.

Catch is 6000 charge/deep-discharge and rapid charge in 5 minutes.
Though my girlfriend is not impressed with those figures.
