"So why would the Bard, at this stage in his career - age 32 and well established by the time Edward III was published in 1596 - need to collaborate on a play? Simply because, as literature scholars have documented, the London theaters of the day were competing for audiences and had to churn out material as quickly as possible to stay ahead of one another. To do so, they often used groups of authors to write playbooks in a matter of weeks, paying each author by the scene. The theater companies would then often advertise themselves, rather than the authors, on the published playbooks."
If this doesn't sound like Hollywood then I don't know what does.
PulseAudio is a good idea for some (very few) specific situations, but it doesn't belong as the fixture it has been made by several of the common distributions. It solves problems nobody knew they had only to introduce other important problems (i.e. latency).
Granted PulseAudio does have some problems but I definitely think its the future of Linux audio.
Getting ALSA to play nice with multiple sound cards was a nightmare and if you needed something with OSS it was even worse, even with alsa-oss.
But since PulseAudio has become the mainstream audio solution for Linux, managing my sound devices have become so much easier and getting sound to work on Linux is no longer a weekend project.
While PulseAudio does have problems like CPU usage or latency I do think its a step forward and the easy Windows-like sound mixer that Linux has been waiting for.
I think a blind cell phone jamming scheme in a school is unrealistic and dangerous.
What if a child needs to call their parents, especially in an emergency?
Even worse wonder if there is a school shooting (Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of those these days), and a student needs to call the police for help or instructions on what to do?
Too bad its mainly made for kids, there's not enough such toys for us adults:)
Actually there sort of is, it's called Garry's Mod.
If you link it up with a third party mod called "WireMod" you can do all kinds of crazy stuff in the game by wiring things together, besides what you can do outside the game with Lua scripting.
Each creative day is about 1,000 years totaling up to about 6,000 years.
[bible citation needed]
It says 'day' in the bible. There is no footnote explaining this actual means '1,000' years.
At least not in the King James version.
For some reason people go on the assumption that a creative day is a literal 24-hours
Could the reason perhaps be that the Bible says 'day'?
2nd Peter 3:8, from the King James:
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
despite the fact that when Genesis was written no such calender system existed.
Good Lord! They had no days when Genesis was written?
They could write and everything, but hadn't noticed the sun is the highest in the sky on a reliably repeatable period?
The book of Genesis is believed to have been written in 1513 B.C.E. by the inspired writer Moses in Sinai.
The point I was making here is that our modern calender system which makes use of the 24-hour period is a relatively recent development.
At the time the Jewish people believed that a day ended/begun at sunset, contrary to our system where a day's boundary is at 12:00 AM midnight.
Futhermore Genesis is translated from Hebrew and the word "Day" in Hebrew simply implies "a very long time."
With all do respect sir, please learn a little more about the Bible before making a critical review of it.
With all due respect, it is perfectly clear to anyone not trying to reinterpret the theory to fit the data that it does say that the Earth -- and everything in it -- was created in six days.
The Bible does not include the creation of Earth itself - or the universe as apart of the six creative days.
If you read Genesis again you'll notice that it says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Then it goes on to describe the Earth's condition and then the process of the six creative days in which God made Earth habitable for life.
Children will say that the earth was created in six days, 4000 years ago.
Some twisted denominations teach that with no basis on the bible.
Each creative day is about 1,000 years totaling up to about 6,000 years.
For some reason people go on the assumption that a creative day is a literal 24-hours despite the fact that when Genesis was written no such calender system existed.
Furthermore how long it took for the Earth to be created is unknown as the Bible makes no mention of Earth's creation outside of "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" and then it goes on to say "And God said let there be light, and there was light and he saw that it was good, a first morning, a first day."
So with this in mind some parts of Evolution fit in with Creationism because the Big-Bang, and such, fit in perfect with what Genesis does not say.
With all do respect sir, please learn a little more about the Bible before making a critical review of it.
I expected a lot of MS-bashing when I saw this but I have to say that this is going to be a huge blessing to web developers.
The sooner IE8 makes it to mainstream as the predominate version of IE the better because developing websites that are compatible between IE8 and Mozila/Opera/Webkit/KHTML is much easier then it was in the past.
Unfortunately though because of the huge flaws, non-standard compliance, of previous versions of IE; it is going to break a lot of websites that have special "IE fixes" (Which I am against for the most because of reasons like this).
ID does not necessarily mean the traditional almighty deity.
If you ask me, if you seriously believe there are alien lifeforms somewhere out in the universe (as do most people it seems) then ID should not be so quickly shot down.
But when the inevitable species war erupts, we can end racism.
I'm not sure where you are coming from here but that statement sounds pro-holocaust.
Unless of course you mean that if the human race were to engage in war with another species, much the same way humans do with each other, it would unite the human race against its foes.
Those are the only two ways I can see that statement fitting in with.
Criticize me all you want but I think that most of the NASA budget, and 40-60% of the military budget, would be better spent feeding people, investing in green technology and providing healthcare.
I'll admit that I find NASA's research fascinating, and sometimes they are a big help to the NOAA/NWS, but I think the vast majority of the stuff NASA does would be better spent improving our home planet before taking off to the stars.
Not only that but if the batteries did somehow survive, the solar panels might be covered in too much dust to receive sufficient light to recharge the batteries.
FYI, the JavaScript engine is separate from the rendering engine.
Take Firefox for example; the rendering engine is "Gecko", and the separate embeddable JavaScript engine is "SpiderMonkey".
Another example is Chrome; the rendering engine is "WebKit", and the separate embeddable JavaScript engine is "V8".
While I see your point I thought I might point out that the rendering engine and the JavaScript engine are separate.
I was looking at developing a video game that makes use of JavaScript and that is when I discovered that after some research.
Keeping prostitution illegal is misguided and based on a puritanical ideal that has never, and will never, be achieved.
I'm against pre-marital sex, and that prostitution is a waste of money, but I also realize that I live in a free country and my personal standard is not everybody's standards and I have no right to force that upon them.
With that in mind I believe I can say that I agree with you because legalizing prostitution means that it can be properly and formally regulated to prevent the spread of STDs and other potential strings that may come attached (although I suppose that if you go looking for sex from strangers then you'd be willing to take that risk).
A good example might be the prohibition of alcohol during the 1920's and all the promises that overly self-righteous people said that would come with it. So much for those promises because the prohibition brought with it an expansion of organized crime and poisonous moonshine liqueur. The prohibition created more violence and crime then it was ever promised to save.
There is no question that the election of a half-Irish, half-Black child of a broken home to the Presidency of the United States *says* something to the world and to history about us as a country, as an ideal, that can never, ever, be taken away.
Which candidate will be better positioned to answer the problem? It will be the one who is able to make some hard decisions and stand up to powerful lobbyists. It will be the candidate who is able to apply creative thought and novel solutions to problems that we've been creating for ourselves for decades now. it will be the candidate who is able to rationally apply logic and recruit, retain and manage in their administration, unbiased and reasoned people who are willing to work hard on solutions that will benefit Americans and the wider global population.
Ralph Nader is the only candidate, I've seen, that has the guts to bash the government as being on the take by big business.
Don't take my word for it though, check out Nader's other videos and stuff and you will see what I mean.
That is just my personal opinion though, I encourage you to draw your own conclusion.

I agree with this. In reality "cloud" computing is just mainframe computing. Its a step backward really.
