Gasoline is bad for lawnmower engines too, unless you add oil to the gasoline in your 2 stroke mower!
Point being, the engine is designed with the fuel in mind. If I want to use another fuel, I should consider buying another lawn mower. If I put something into the tank that it wasn't designed for, I shouldn't be angry at the fuel!
This isn't true. The users want a consistant HIG and design philosophy across all applications, and a consistant reliable release schedule, with an open plan. This is what they did, and it worked, for 8 years or so. Not perfectly, but it worked.
The problem is that we're terrible with the big projects. Gnome3 is just a by-product of this. GStreamer on gnome2 wasn't stable for 4 years after gnome2 introduced it in 2.02! 4 years! The problem is releasing stuff broken, and hoping the community will fix it, instead of releasing stuff working, and encouraging developers to add capability.
Why doesn't he just face the facts that his psychology degree was a waste of time, that he probably not what he wanted to do for a living anyway (seriously, who wants to be an academic), and go back to school (even if it was part time) and take a comp sci course.
Granted, it sucks having to go back to school, but at least he could work and study part time.
Then again, he could study management AND information systems. His psychology would come in handy with the management, and an information systems background would back up any programming skills he may have.
Unionisation has done wonders with the Japanese Auto Industry.
The point being, business do well when they consider ALL stakeholders. If you need a union in order to make a business view employees as stakeholders, then having a union will help the bottom line.
What if you treat them as service providers rather than asset owners.
Say I provide a service to people. At the point that people pay, someone sets up a register, and claims that you can pay him half the price for full settlement. Has the customer 'stolen' the service? Or has the guy stolen the money from the customer?
There is no comfortable position, because people move around constantly. What's bad is having a chair that doesn't allow for you to move around. I remember at my work place, the truck drivers were made to wear seat belts, and after a couple of weeks, the numbers of drivers complaining of back pain increased by a factor of 10.
Yes. Absolutely. You need to tell them what you want, and it's their job to prove to you that they are capable of providing it.
If the gear falls over, then you can say 'we're not paying for it, because it has to meet this specification before we do, and it obviously isn't', rather than 'we tested it ourselves, and it should be working'. You want to reduce the risk that this project isn't going to meet expectations.
I haven't been able to hit 5Mbps for 3-4 years (it's not much, but I'm in rural New Zealand), and I've never been able to stream video in high quality, but tonight I'm totally able to. My ping is only 25ms, and I never thought it would be possible to have a ping so low. Now I can play games online!
I was against it, but, maybe it's not such a bad thing? What do you guys think?
It may not be a adrenaline thing, but more about metabolic rate. Wouldn't an increased average metabolic rate lead to increased oxidative stresses in the cell? If you have to eat more to exercise, wont this have a negative effect on your lifespan?
They probably said the same thing about film when TV came out. It's just a different experience. The console gamers aren't moving to game on their phones, but you can bet that the phones have introduced a whole pile of people to gaming. Maybe, in the future, they will look to buy a real console, and play a 20-30 hour game, instead of a $2 game for 90 seconds at a time.
It IS a savings. If we didn't have it, sunrise in the summer, would be around 5am. I'd rather sunrise were at 6am, and so I can enjoy the daylight in the evenings for longer.
What you call immersion is really the medium encouraging you to concentrate on it. A good book or movie will do this with characters, but a nice painting or photograph, or a song doesn't need to be character heavy to push it along.
To be honest, the characters in Monkey Island are 1 dimenisional. They don't develop, or progress, and the story isn't that interesting. The game keeps you interested by providing excellent dialogue from witty caricatures.
When I graduated, my chosen field was led by people without University educations, so I thought it would be easy to rise through the ranks, at least to a level. It's not good enough, however, to be just smart, and to know more about your field than people that have been in it for their whole professional life. To be honest, I'm not sure what is needed. If this guy can get more money to compensate for what he had to pay for his education, then good for him, because elsewhere, the reverse is usually true.
I remember, 10 years ago, the same argument being made about arcade ROMS and the MAME Project. I would never have believed that many of these games could become semi-relevant again (thanks to digital distribution), and even generating new income for the IP owners.

PC gaming is dead, as it has had to adapt to become more like a console in order to survive.

There's a possibility *below* the surface. I know it's slim, and a little far fetched, but *if* there was going to be life, it would probably be in Martian caves etc http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/news/mro20111102.html
We already have the right to bear arms. Where are my free guns?
Everyone knows that the typewriters aren't worth anything, because they make such a huge profit from the ink ribbons.

You don't need to store it in batteries. If you have a hydro plant nearby, you just need to pump water back up into the dam. It's called pump storage.

For many years I made this plane during lectures. The stability of the flight down the lecture theatre was unmatched by any other designs I tried.

The article mentions that the reason we like chili is partly explained because it releases endorphins. Why dont they just say they don't really know?
Yes. Absolutely. You need to tell them what you want, and it's their job to prove to you that they are capable of providing it.

I used to work in a Chemistry lab. It was often that my hands were busy AND I needed to press space bar so some dumb software can start it's analysis.
So, therefore, this IS such a thing called money laundering then? Logic beats libertarians every time.

If the last century is to go by, I doubt we're going to see an increase in vegetation anytime soon. We've already lost 20% of the Amazon since 1970.
