Being an arts major I naturally take exception to that. What you fail to appreciate is that this is symptomatic os a larger trend and the corporate world mirroring administrative tendencies.
The dystopian society to which they are referring is the surveillance society that is emerging. London has an incredibly high rate of civilian monitoring with one of the highest densities of CCTV in the world. Many countries are now introducing some form of national ID card. These things may be understood to be unjust or immoral.
The reason arts majors dedicate so much of their time to these issues is they reflect one of the underlying themes of the social sciences - are people intrinsically good or intrinsically back. If you were of the thread of Machiavelli, you would be inclined to argue that we should be under surveillance. When people do wrong you may then pounce on them. Better yet, make them think they are constantly under surveillance so they will be to terrified to do anything wrong. That's what they did in soviet Russia, and do currently in every state with a secret police, such as Australia, where I live, Britain, America, and so on...
Such locations, best typified by soviet Russia,have incredibly high rates of mental illness and societal anxiety, and a severe lack of transparency and accountability, thus the potential for abuse of power - think unmetred phone taps and media supressed arrests.
These are not considered immoral action though if the likes of Machiavelli are correct in their assessment of the human character.
If you walk the middle line like Socrates, or swing the other way like JS Mills, then these actions become reprehensible and immoral.
What you see as 'struggling to appear sophisticated' is probably more often an appreciation of the moral gravity of such issues and a desire true discourse.
Secondly, if you really think we live in dystopian times, try a great depression, a World War, a Great War, living in Nazi Germany, a Gulag, a British concentration camp, a ghetto, an inquisition, a plague, the entire middle ages.
**I love it when someone tries to bring down other people and instead shows themselves to be ignorant and shallow.**
You're a computer journalism eh? Don't quit your day job.
I'm joking. I've worked in papers for years and am currently an operations manager. No journalist can spell, or more importantly, write good copy first without revision. You're not alone.
Don't be condescending - I've used linux since my first install of RH 5.0. I've compiled from the ground up. I'd be prepared to pit my qualifications against yours.
Wicked - and that goes for Anpa DIC ColorTone FOCOLTONE Pantone Toyo etc... Wait, no is doesn't! Too bad the calendar I designed wit the perfect corporate colours now doesn't work.
Don't imply, either intentionally or mistakenly, people who use photoshop are in the same market as those who use the Gimp - UNLESS IT IS FOR SIMPLE REDEYE REDUCTION. At my newspaper - distribution 127, 000 - we could not use Gimp. That is unless we can start printing in RGB or don't care about our colour profiles.
Photoshop charge for their software because they pay for Anpa DIC ColorTone FOCOLTONE Pantone Toyo and etc... Gimp can't liscence these without spending money so - too bad. Gimp interface is crap, but it is not the reason it isn't taken up.
There's more to it than that. There are many reasons for different people.
I've used Linux for a decade now and have had it installed on my PC in various flavours the whole time. I'm currently running Ubuntu and it rocks. It does not supplant Windows though. Why you ask? I want a box that plays DVDs out of the box.
I would argue that there could even be more uptake among those who don't buy pre-installed OS comps even little thangs like that were ironed out.
Good idea - convince Sony to free DRM for use on Linux. Whole new nrd market + a chance to install rootkits on their boxes. They couldn't pass it up!
I can. You tell the boss you need a high-end worstation card. What you mean is you need a high end gaming card. It's not a difference in the physical card you hold in your hand - it is the difference of being worked into the budget. It is pure coincidence that your nifty workstation card plays the latest and greatest games.
I really apologise this is so unhelpful. I know what you meant, and I know what I've being telling the power that be for years. I guess in some regards I am being truthful and correct - but its not the answer you want.
You may have read the article but your missing some pieces of the puzzle. The people who catch and spread aids via condom misuse are those who do not care in the 'heat of the moment'. Birth control pills don't enter the equation because they have nothing to do with the spread of Aids, except perhaps to persuade those who do not have them to use a little more abstinence.
The best way to deliver these drugs would be to use a system similar to implanon if available, whereby any drug are implanted subdermally and released slowly. The benefit is that by having a steady stream lower doses can be used. Secondly, governments are constantly comparing the future costs of care for incapacitated aids patients to current treatment cost. When a sufficiently effective solution presents itself - if the cost benefit is good - governments *will* pay for it.
At one school I administered (400+ PCs on the student network) we used a product called hadguard. It could remotely shut down computers (among many other AMAZING things) and group them how you wanted. You could shutdown, boot up, restart a parrticular classroom. This was only the icing of the cake. HDGuard is completely amazing and I recommend it to everyone. Besides purchasing it once I am in no way affiliated with the product.
I'm prepared to put up with the GNAA and 'up your butt' if freedom of speech is kept. Ideally, there could be a greasemonkey script to block out those comments.
Actually, nothing in your original post indicates you were trying to bring brevity to the argument. Instead you criticize without foundation. For your part, try to appreciate that people with other backgrounds, such as my own in political science occasionally try visit this site. Maybe instead of writing what you didn't say, try looking at what you did. Now go be a jackass somewhere else please.
Balsa is actually a very strong wood proportionally. That's why it is used where light weight is a concern. Also, many structures have three walls, not the least being pyramids. We are in a four wall mentality which we need to break out of. I would suggest the superior structural integrity of geodesic domes.
Yeah, stupid fanbois! I don't give a fuck about looks either. That's why I'm happy with Gimp. Lets face it, sure if I wanted to look slick and professional, I could use Adobe on a Mac, but that's sell-out crap. I'd rather stick it to the man by using inadequate opensource almost-equivalents and let it show through in my work.
And I'm the production manager at a newspaper with a 107 000 distribution./sarcasm
Coincidence I was reading about this today. To really capture the colour and nuances you mustt move th camera with the sky - strapped easily to a telescope is often the best way. I'd then start there.
That's some funny shit. My line of thought started out the same but --- 'hit someone over the head with it?! Lucky you're on slashdot else your GF would be pissed!
Its called inductive reasoning and it the reason the grue paradox is not taken seriously. The OP started out with a theory rather than the facts, in this case, or my case, anecdotal evidence. If anyone is guilty of bad science, it is not me.

It doesn't though mean there isn't a conspiracy against him. PS, I've got a new signature.

Vista, and XP both play DVDs out of the box. My shiny Ubuntu install wont do that.

PS Photoshop reads more formats as well.

and cats. there are many types of feline immuno virii. my cat had one. don't forget cats.
Not as much as involuntary castration of males with HIV and cutting off the hands of those who inject.
I wouldn't seriously consider that though. I'm just saying.

So too is anyone who calls themselves a grammar-'Nazi'. Probably in a far worse way.
