I say not entirely, it's also the fault of the mentors
Not neccessarily the mentor's fault. My CS professors, one in particular, was hell bent on making sure the class always documented their code correctly. Even after four years of that my documentation is often somewhere between poor and nonexistant.
So basically it's going to make it more difficult to see obnoxious flash ads take over websites as soon as a page is loaded. And in the rare chance you actually want to see a flash or java object, you have to click a button. Sounds like MS should toss this on the feature list.
How is the Revolution a +0.5 console when it actually does something different than the GameCube, while the PS3 and 360 are brand new devices when they offer nothing more than better graphics than their predecessors?
And Intel will tell you that it's much nicer to make more money than the leader. How many people see AMD and "The Source(TM)", or even know about it in the first place. Granted, it will make you much more popular among the dedicated community, but the average consumer won't know, or care, about who did it first.
Don't worry, it's just a coincidence that he's right. If you pull enough information out of your ass, statistically speaking, you'll be right at least once. We still don't live in a world where Dvorak has a clue, so no need to panic just yet.
Or Google can simply use the pricing model that they think will make the most money, even if that means doing what the industry wants. Google does what they want, Apple does what they want. Then we find out who is right and who is dead.
Not really. Neither Dell nor Alienware really has fanboys. Uber-1337 kiddies hate Dell for being popular and hate Alienware for trying to tell people not to build their own PCs.
Well, aren't you just a badass internet rebel. It takes a lot of balls to risk a numeric value in order to piss of a bunch of people you don't know and will never meet.
Face it, you're still anonymous, and if you think that you're somehow brave for insulting people on a forum, you're also a coward.
Probably not. It would seem that they want to keep the front and sides as smooth as possible, though I agree both things would be nice. But you can just get a USB extension cable for a few bucks and leave it in.
Blogs are great for organizational news; we use them at work a lot for staff communication. We have a lot of people that work a wide range of hours, so our blog has replaced having to email everybody in the office to share news. Keeps our inboxes clean(er) and makes it easier to archive and search old messages.
The problem with blogs is that there are 10 million morons who think that they have something intelligent to share and that their ramblings is a good replacement for actual local, national, and world news. Because of this the percentage of blogs that are crap is fairly high, but blogs are still a very useful tool.
As for blogging fading away, it's expected that the number of blogs/bloggers will plummet. It became the trendy thing to do, so a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon and made blogs just to join in. Once the fad start to fade, most of these people will lose interest and find another trend to follow. However the people who actually have an interest/need for blogs will remain. So, it's not that blogging is dieing, it's that the size of the blogging community was unnaturally high and is now simply fixing itself.
1. Deutsch is young. True, while at 24, Deutsch is young, that really does not say anything about his ability to be a spokesperson for science policy....if he is capable of representing the science for NASA and not necessarily a political agenda.
True. Saying Google is wrong in this matter is like saying Wikipedia is wrong when they ban vandels. You misuse a free and pseudo-public service and you get banned from using it. This is the definition of "the punishment fitting the crime", not a sign of Google being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Oh, for the love of God. All of the blogs are back now. It was just a damn server problem. I'm sure if you looked around you would have found plenty of mundane blogs that were unavailable. But why miss an opportunity to jump to conclusions and scream "conspiracy!!!" all over the place.
When it comes to protecting the availability of information most librarians don't give a damn about whether the information is for entertainment or education/research.

Actually the advertisments would be bad enough. Just see Minority Report.

And how would you like to accomplish this? Pay them to think happy happy joy joy feelings?

Makes more sense than a lot of current foreign policies.
Fire ze missiles!

The real question is can the phones be turned into shock collars that zap the little bastards when they go out of bounds?

The first word in the name "Data Accountability and Trust Act" is not an acronym.

Because, incompetent or not, it's their job.
Well, what would you prefer? That we rely on companies to admit that they screwed up?
The name calling might not be impressive, but he also got first post and a +5 mod, which are two of the most impressive things ever.

Looks like "SetupWeasel" was a very appropriate username for the article submitter.
Personally, I see more people trying to use Access to as a spreadsheet than trying to use Excel as a database.
Which he is clearly not capable of doing

Thank you. I couldn't have said it any better myself.
Out of curiosity, where did you get your MLIS?
