That shows men are affected by advertisings which shows them what 'attractive' men look like, it does not necessarily hold that women want to have children with such men.
Warning: Sweeping Generalisation Approaching: Women aren't in it for looks beyond prehaps looks which show good general health. They are interested in the appearance of success and maybe personality traits which suggest the man might be successful such as humour (shows intelligence, social skills) assertiveness (shows leadship, possibily shows the ability to come up with new ideas although I think middle management is filled with prove this isn't always the case).
One thing I would like the reseachers to investigate is whether men are getting taller (rather than more attractive). Numerous studies show that the higher levels of business structures are over represented by above average height men. There a number of possibly explantions of this, from taller men are more intelligent (bollocks) to taller men being equated to being leaders (think we might have a winner) if only subsciously. Therefore it would seem to me that height could be a physical selector used by women as a subconscious selector of success.
Phones, routers, security. These are not strictly IT areas, but IT does them. IT is the department with brains, and more importantly, the department that solves problems. Difficult, technical problems.
All items which as they mature as products become increasingly self organising and easy to configure, you might not be able to lose the last IT guy from the business because some knowledge is going to be needed, but you don't need a large team to configure and organise it either.
Indeed, the whole point about cloud computing is that a large team of sysadmins at a datacenter is still much smaller and hence cheaper that lot of little teams of sysadmins from all the companies that that datacenter can accomodate.
Unless it's a youtube video about treating a livestock disease, or better techniques for planting.
Why couldn't it be?
Just because the value we find in youtube is in watching a crazy cat get out of a washing machine or some emo crying/singing doesn't mean that's all it could be for. The potential for teaching techniques to people who might otherwise be illiterate (or only read and write in a language used by a few hundred people) could be very useful.
I wasn't saying people can't put their money into big budget films if thats what they want to see, although rereading my my comment I didn't explictly state that
My point was more one of breaking the monopoly of a relatively small group of people who can effectively decide what we are going to see by way of massive advertising budgets and controlling what film get released when and where.
perhaps we'll find out it's just too hard to raise $400 million to make the next Transformers movie
To be fair, would that be a bad thing?
Studio produced films tend to be dominated by big budget, special effect laden titles which people go to see because of a huge amount of advertising and because the title releases are staggered at the cinema so that there is a good chance that of the films available in a given week there might only be one or two films you would even consider watching (maybe a choice between genre more than film title). I often (not always) come out of those films feeling a little underwhelmed.
A payment before production method of producing films may give smaller budget more story driven films a better chance of a) getting produced b) being shown to a wider audience.

I read the receipt printing trick as not needing an insider, hacker just goes up to the ATM, enter a special code/card and it prints out a DES encoded string of characters on the built-in printer which normally provides the cash withdrawal receipt.
But having a 15 ft long neck which is held horizontal means you can browse a 30ft wide path without moving (or perhaps while moving slowly in one direction), the energy saving for being able to browse a large swath of ground without moving must be large when you weight a few tonnes.
This isn't an update from Firefox's point of view, it's the installation of an add-on which has not be requested by the user, at the very least, Firefox should prompt the user at the next startup if a new add-on has been installed.
Couldn't you have 10 minute fuse before the coloured flare/IR signal starts burning? i.e. you could set it up with requested pickup coordinates, stake the flare down in some open ground and move away from the immediate area. A searching enemy would only know where you were 10 minutes ago (admittedly, in a life and death search 10 minutes is a bit close for comfort)
And would only react to the device you point at. (might have to establish separate gestures for nearby components etc)
I would have thought the initial pointing at the device you want to control would be enough to indicate which device is being controlled, then you can just use the same motions to mean different things to different device.
never said I was looking for others to follow the same rules as me. What I was saying was with separate shards you can the same game but with slightly different rule sets which means you could have a RP shard, a strategy shard, 1v1 combat shard etc.
The problem with a single shard and part of the reason I gave up on EVE was that everybody playing the game has the same environment. I was looking for more roleplay out of the game but although there are a few corps playing the game in that manner, none of the people you meet in space are.
I was stuck trying to maintain a consistent character story while everyone around me was talking about things in the news, who got fired at work (IRL) etc. I wouldn't attack another player unless it was inline with the character but that doesn't stop everyone else attacking me without any pretence. Towards the end I even started playing by my own death rules, if the character dies, thats it, he's dead, he and all his assets are destroyed and I start again but that just made me a target
I was praying that EVE would split into different shards for different game styles, even if that meant the RP shard was largely empty of players (which would have been a draw for some players anyway)
It's one thing to buy a book which hasn't got Text-to-speech enabled, especially when you are told about it on the product descritpion. It's another to have a feature disabled after the point of purchase.
Because a feature of a game is broken justifies pirating it?
You did exactly what he stated, you used whatever inane reason you could find to justify being a thief.
But Brad Wardell is quoted as saying...
if you're one of those people on Hamachi or GameRanger playing a pirated copy and have been for more than a few days, then you should either buy it or accept that you're a thief
sounds to me like Brad accepts at least some of the downloads are people trying out the game to check fun factor and playability. I guess it depends on your definition of pirate, downing to try out for a limited time is not in my opinion pirating, find you like the game, conituing to play but not paying for it is.
since beauty seems to be largely evaluated on symmetry and ratios of various parts of the face and body relative to other parts and existing facial recognition systems already work by measuring distances and ratios between those points, I don't think that would be all that hard.
It fell out of favour in a big way in the 70s and 80s because it wasn't controllable and was seemed to be expensive.
Read as; the Gas Boiler companies/Gas Companies realised they could sell far more if every home in a town didn't have a supply of hot water running into it.
A fleet of them sit at pickup/dropoff points in city centers, you get in one, select a destination and it drives itself there.GPS and some forward looking radar to avoid obstacles would all that would really be needed.
The fact it's on two wheel should mean it can rotate on the spot making it ideal for tight operating spaces.
Add a bit of network communication with a central server and the things could drive themselves to pickup points which are running low on vehicles or have them congregate at busy pickup points at the busy times, (city edge parking spots in the morning, city center in the evening).
The advantage these things would have over other pod vehicle ideas I've seen is that it could operate without special infrastructure. Hell, if the obstacle avoidance is good enough, they could operate in pedestrian areas and reduced speed and then speed up as they get onto the city road network. All without the users needing to know how to control them.
