That sort of thinking is very European - it shouldn't bother an American like Weiner, I hope.
That's why England is.. the truth is I don't even want to describe it. Not only do Americans not know the train wreak that is England, we're much happier for not knowing.
They'll kill people, animals, cause accidents, destroy property, and with luck, destroy the profits of the companies evil enough to push dumber than ant brains on us as drivers. Also, one can hope, they'll end the careers of every politician who was stupid enough to allow this.
by computers that can't parse the scenery, use faulty maps, don't have the sense to know what things can't be crashed into, don't know what's live and what's dead, don't have the brain to make sense of unusual road conditions like oil slicks...
Oh yes, I can imagine the endless clusterf*** that is this totally unnecessary technology being pushed by unforgivable egotists onto idiots.
I just hope that when the first Google car murder happens, the lawsuit cuts the company down enough to hurt hurt hurt and they apologize and stop.
Little companies like Nokia might go out of business, I hope.
They're no doubt counting every drink and whore paid for in every karaoke providing bar or restaurant in Asia... Of course those bars probably don't do Karaoke all day, but they sell drinks or food all day. In other words the number is bullshit.
You know, that's how you always excuse draconian laws, by lying.
I'm not happy with any language that's available, but that's because I have interests in hard to program stuff.
I have lots and lots of experience with C++, but I wouldn't recommend it, except as a form of torture. Java too, is gets in your way far too often, though it's better than C++.
To me, objects are a way of organizing APIs, so I DO like OO...
What to write it in depends on what features you need. Do you need it to be fast? How fast? Do you need to take advantage of multiple processors? Do you need to share data between them?
Is programmer time more important than running speed?
Is reliability more important than programming time?
One system I'm enjoying these days, though it's far from perfect is Lua, through the amazingly good trace compiler/jit Luajit. It is every inefficient in terms of memory. It doesn't support multiple threads. It doesn't even have standard object system, though it's not hard to implement a prototype based one in it... But it's kind of like programming in Self or Ruby with the complexity knob turned all the way down.
It also has the advantage of running on everything. There's even an ARM version of the JIT.
If you don't need the speed, Python doesn't look too bad and has lots of libraries.
If you need something that can be data-center-sized then find a.net language or java... There's a lot of choices under.net and it probably scales the best. Depending on what I was trying to do, I might use F# or ClojureCLR or IronPython...
The best OO language that time forgot is Dylan. I'm disappointed that Apple never really finished developing it.
enough to be easy to use. Right now I'm trying to get a full featured Lua system working on windows using only free stuff (no MS compilers), and THAT'S a pain because a lot of the libraries just barely build on windows, only with tweaks, and you still have to get them glued together right.
It's surprising how much software has the "it works, or some version did.. you just have to tweak it enough" problem. So GPG has an unreadable manual and you had to have a friend tell you how to set it up. Let's face it, that's the difference between free software and commercial software. The commercial software has enough people working on making sure that users can set it up easily.
will involve making chips taller, ie various forms of 3D ICs. That would mean that we could continue to get the apparent effects of higher densities at least for a while, though we'd really just be making taller or chips or better interconnected layers, but it would also mean that the cost of transistors wouldn't go down, it would probably go up.
I remember someone who had learned Arabic in Syria saying that the Syrian government had method where they would loosen controls for a few years so that they could get info on people, then crack down.
I have the unlimited plan which gives me unlimited data use for data that never leaves the phone (ie for data that isn't sent to a tethered computer).
But the hackers who mess with the settings in rooted phones say that it isn't that you're charged for data as it goes out the wifi, it's that when you turn on tethering, the phone connects to a different APN.
So actually I have a limited amount of data usage while tethering is on, whether the data leaves the phone or not.
This affects me because it means that if I turn on a music streaming service in the phone while I have tethering on, I'll eventually run out of data whether the computer gets any or not.
I haven't verified that it works this way... But that also makes me wonder, since on LTE, voice data is just packets, does that mean that taking phone calls while tethering uses up my tether data, or do they at least track that?
Current estimates are that 3% of patients in ICU test positive and 1/3 of people in nursing homes.
You read that right, 1/3. Also multiple types of bacteria are CRE. It means they have an enzyme that breaks down a class of antibotics.
This has been sneaking up on us for a while.
I think that the problem is, most bacteria are usually harmless, but these can't be killed easy, and if they ever turn into blood infections the mortality rate seems to be 50%.
Is everyone who ever wrote a file transfer program guilty of copyright infringement? Is everyone who ever wrote a protocol that makes a directory downloadable guilty? Arrest everyone who worked on Apache! And FTP. And Gopher. And telnet. And Kermit.
Say I move a file into a copyrighted public place using Windows. By this prosecution, the programmers at Microsoft should be arrested!
I don't get it. Is there no logic to prosecutions? No principle?
Wrong in both cases - it's already the past. Decades ago I noticed a lot of large jpgs that have the visual quality of tiny jpgs... That implies that all of the low bits aren't correlated with the visual data.

everyone who has torrented 10 files, 100 years in jail, then there won't be anyone left who knows how to use a computer.

How many millions of years would it take my netbook to generate a bitcoin?
that a rational answer is "hell no, there's no reason to get your kids burdened with dealing with the US government and laws".
But I wouldn't be surprised if Europeans said the same about the EU.

they wouldn't try something as pointless as registering cell phones.
Combine the former with a little GPS or even cell tower analysis and they'd have much better tools and not be tipping the enemy off ...
Though I suppose they can do both.
