I honestly think the checks and balences arguement is nothing short of stupidity. The 2nd Amendment in the US constitution is a masterstroke of political brilliance. If the government gives people the right to defend themselves from it they know they won't. I live in a country that has treason as the punishment for armed revolution. Guess which country I could see storming parlament first, it's not the US. If the government states you can who will. It is the government, not the people stating it. This is a trap I think america would never escape from if it had a totalitarian government. Remember what history teaches. The worst people in totalitarian societies aren't the government employees they are the militias. I'd be afraid of a US not ruled by the constitution or Government or anything else but by th NRA and other militia organisations that have shown themselves again and again to be the nail in the coffin.
Thank you for saying this I was going to say much the same thing. As an adult with autism and someone who didn't watch TV as a child (there was no reception where I grew up) I see this as another snake oil cause to a aspect of gentics that has been around for some time longer than TV. Every few months some nut/psyc post grad comes out with a link to austism (eg. Measals vacinations, pork, running after crawling, all sorts of other things). It's important to see this for what it is, unscientific. And to all the people who think Autism is just another ADD, yes and no. Too many Psychiatists and Psychologists are diagnosing falsely but alse there are higher rates of awareness of Autism. This has lead to the recent record diagnosis numbers but it does not answer for the fact that many people have had it their whole life and never knew about it other than just being different (moreso than usual).
we can never replace a life
Sure we can, its called having children. My life is only important to myself, my family, and perhaps a small circle of friends. Outside that, the greater mass of humanity doesn't give a flying fuck about me, you, or anyone else.
Nations or national administrations. There were alot of polls and whatnot around the time that called the US bluff. I think you should learn some math and check up on what actual people said other than those noisy minorities (mainstream media and left-left-falling-off-the-edge-left)
As does alot of the world not in the united states but still grounded under it's definition of right and wrong is why can't a foreign self governing nation control its own airspace and space space. If I built a spy satellite and orbitted it over the united states I would be a terrorist and bombed in seconds. Why the difference for china?
Wow that was the most intelligent thing I've ever seen posted on something a lesser slashdotter would have just modded flamebait and dismissed. The important thing with any system or anything at all is to learn as much as possible and make a intelligent decision. I don't agree with project for a new american century but I will read it to find out why. Good show ArcherB.
When you find these gene's that prevent kindness and love for everyone be sure to tell people. I didn't think ignorance and indoctrination were genetic.
I'm going to get offtopic but have you ever thought about this at all?
Or, conversely have you ever been to any of the countries you rattle off about. In history there have never actually been any communist countries. The countries you list are state-capitalist, totalitarian, autocratic, etc. Seriously I hope you are not really a scientist because you are giving the rest of us who are a bad name. Read Das Kapital find out what communism is. It won't hurt you its just a book. Reading contradictory, to our own views, books is important if you are really a scientist. Presently you are saying a cow and a fish are the same. This shows that you know very little of what the world is really about. Learn then speak.
I must say you hit the nail on the head. With current levels of knowledge in parrellelism this is just going to be another dead end for speed gain. What we really need is alot more thought and research into this topic (again) and alot more training for programmers.
In WoW, fighting is the only thing that gains prestige. All the best weapons are looted, there is no dependence on non-fighting classes nor is there such a thing. I think that if anything is going to surpass WoW at this point, it has to be something that so far out there that it's not even well defined yet.
With a name like WARcraft is this actually surpising?
I'm sorry but you sir no very little about coding. The engine in WoW has changed substantially over the last 2 years which equates to a massive development cost. Please don't just look at "new" areas as all that is done because your ignorance is showing.
Lucky his college science class doesn't disprove my god, Zeus. Science cannot disprove he didn't create the earth or make all lightning. He cannot be tamed by those lightning rods and his teachings are as valid today about how to live as they ever were. I'd pray right now lets Hades suck your soul and a centuar capture your village.

This law will bring the end of an era for internet humour.
Your zeal overwhelms you sir. Unions are instrumental in fighting fascism. Look at Poland, Italy, Germany or any other country during WW2 that was actually invaded and captured. The resistance came from workers groups and unions in many parts.
Google appear to be investing their pile of cash in a very interesting way: They encourage their engineers to spend 20 percent of their time on unrelated work.
Boy I wish someone would pay me to read slashdot. Hey you know what, I'm at work someone already is!
Minix 3 is around 12,000 lines of code. Linux doesn't need to be 2.5 million lines as anyone who has compiled a kernel or worked on any embedded system knows. Code size is irrelevent to converting to micro kernel. after all those 2.5million lines were written before and are revised on a regular basis. Size is no barrier.

Actually as opposed to creating siamese twins AMD claims to have created one twin with 4 split personalities.

It's a feature from a microsoft point of view.

And you have the nerve to call yourself a gamer. Two cores definately benefits most of the games I play. Battlefield2 and quake4 both use both cores.
If AMD told them it was big and could easily kill pedestrians I'm sure millions of americans would buy one.

One more X in xxcopy and you have a program the man actually needs.

8bit? You need to read up more. Most embedded systems are 32bit now.
