Gee, what you described is the life of the Haridi religious Jews around the world. The men quick regular school at 4th grade, and study religion. The women are university educated and the bread winners. Surprisingly, divorce is rare amongst them, but abusiveness is widespread.
While you may be right that there is no God, religion serves another purpose.. Religion unites people that think alike, usually for good healthy reasons. I will not attempt to define "good healthy". Religion brings structure to life.
I have often wondered about dna, fertilization, and creation. Was it random events over the past multi-million years that yielded the rise and disappearance of dinasaurs, and mankind?
Osama ben Laden didn't kill a single American. He exercised his right to free speech, and he incited others to act. Even free speech must have limits. I wan to kill all the xxxxxxxxxx because I hate them and you may want to believe as I do. That free speech is legal.
So if I tell secrets to enemies, and I did not sign a non disclosure agreement, is that a violation of free speech?
If I am able to spend 5 million of my own money to brainwash the voters with my beliefs (for the upcoming presidential election) where is the line to be drawn between free speech and electioneering.
How right you are. In November, a teenager was texting and driving, and because she was looking at the cell, the car mounted the sidewalk and killed a mother and a 3 year old child in a stroller. The mother and child were in front of the school, waiting for the five year old brother.
Driver was not injured. The law here is that the car must be parked in order to text. You are not allowed to text if you are stopped and in the queue waiting for a traffic light to turn green.
Hi CBBcinqcent Israel won land in a 1967 war which they were the defendants. They returned the west bank, and paid more than 20 years of rocket attacks. But the land they covered includes the city of Jerusalem, and if you read the Christian or Jewish Bible (torah), you would know that the entire Jerusalem and surrounding won land was described as Jewish Lands. Jerusalem is not divisible. The lands where construction is taking place is not negotiable as being removed from the Land of Israel.
For the population of Gaza, these people were purged from other Arab lands. 99% plus of the originators of the camps were from Egypt, and other Arab countries. Why don't these countries take them back. (Israel wont).
Israel has taken non-Jewish refugees from Somalia Rwanda, Ethiopia and some other countries. They came without weapons, and with wanting to save their lives.
Nothing is perfect in hostile relationships, where one country wants to survive, and the neighbors, because of religous beliefs, want the inexistance of Israel.
Israel is not going away. The Jewish religion and people will never harm you if you are of another religion. -- No crusades, jihads, or other.
Jews, as part of their beliefs, must be tolerant, study and learn, all their life. This belief leads to indepth analysis of technology, of finance, and in medicine. That is what a Jew is about as a religious person. If that is a reason for jealousy, than the world itself has no future. It is also the reason that there is name calling and the ignorant activities of people who attack others for the latters beliefs and actions.
It's a pleasant surprise that Intel is offering this option at all, and you're calling them assholes because they're not offering it for all CPU's? I bet you're also pissed that this optional protection plan isn't free either. You arrogant, entitled jackass.
My view is that the models that are being protected may have flawed microcode, For $35, the cost to Intel to replace, it is a good deal for both customer and Intel.
Usually all microprocessors (AMD, INTEL, other), have some instructions to fix defective instructions or add some new ones. If this space in the chip is exhausted, the faulty instruction may require code in the operating system's supervisor (kernel) to run in kernel mode. Much better to provide a corrected or improved processor.
As an outsider looking at historical events, the worst thing that happened was allowing the export of manufacturing jobs to Asia. The generation that worked in the factories saved and skimped to send their children to university. Since no person or group has exclusivity on intelligence, it just means that their next generation has the brains to do the designs. Why, when you have 10's of thousands of engineers in your own country, would you go to the USA to use American Engineers.
The difference between America and its MBA style of doing business, is "Live for today", and don't bother about tomorrow. The Asian and other countries do 20 years forward planning for industry and infrastructure. What is the forward planning done in the USA?
Yes, do your best to keep the 4% in the USA, but realize that the quality of life is better back home for most graduates.
Even if the bios is from read-only memory, it has to execute some code to verify that the software to be next loaded is valid. That software, be it grub or the Windows loader, has a signature. All that is necessary is to have a software that provides the correct signature and the boot sequence will continue.l Alternatively, you let Windows Boot, and use Windows software to reload the alternative,
There is always a way to use your own software. The best way is to just not purchase windows ARM based products.
Our government kisses the center of the buttocks of the American lobbyists who want to insure their global rules apply to copyright. We already rejected this TPP by a huge mail-in response to our members of parliament.
I believe that in the final outcome, if the act gets passed (or SOPA) gets passed, that either will be unenforceable due to the vast number of violations. They cannot stop the damn by using a finger to plug a hole. The RIAA has tried and they have failed.
Technology allows anyone to be a publisher, movie producer, or music composer, and not rely on the enterprises that claim to be the only ones to represent the authors. The worst mistake regarding the new technology trends was made by a family that sold away a distillery business in order to enter the entertainment industry.
Eventually the games will be distributed on smart cards, or the games will make use of the TPM chip that many manufacturers provide on the motherboards of your favourite gaming hardware.
I guess I am crazy, but let me tell you my experience. I got married in Montreal Canada in November 1968. By the 15th of November in those 1960 years, there was about two feet of snow on the ground, and by end of November 1960s, even more snow and cold. This type of weather persisted for about 10 years, until we began to realize that our winters were starting later, and the number of degree days (an average yearly measure) was increasing. Ten years ago, winter arrived just before Christmas, with the seasonal snow and cold.
Every year since, winter is starting later. This year (2012) our first real snow storm arrived around the 10th of January, and the true snow and cold, really started the 15th. From November 15th to January 15th is two months later start of winter than what we used to experience. Our summers are warmer too. That is my personal living experience.
I believe that Americans in the central region of the USA have to look at their summers and the temperatures you have in July, Where I believe it used to be close to 100F (35C), it is now coming in at 41C-45C or 120F. Of course it is not global warming, it is just a quirk of nature that is beginning to repeat itself. -- Right?
In the next 25 years, I predict that the USA mid-and south west will be inhabitable as it is today in mid-summer. You will be moving North, to cooler temperatures. You will probably be planning vacations in Canada. And no, Canada will not become the next 10 American states.
Ask the scientists who study the Arctic and Antarctic about warming. Do they see changes? If they do not, then there is no global warming occurring. And the Northern Arctic Passage from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean opening up and being available is just a myth.
As I understand it, Brazil and most of Latin America have some serious economic problems that work to make unemployment a small percentage. There must be a target of 50% domestic value added for any product brought into the country, or that product experiences duties to make it include 50% local value. Exception -- no such recognized industry in that country for an imported product.
So, how does that relate to the overtime topic. Because Latin Americans tend to be abused by foreign owned corporations, and therefore, this is a way to give due compensation as foreign companies tend to not respect reasonable domestic work hours. At one time I was putting in 60 hours per week to bring in a software before the new year, and my boss was blind to it, until I wrote code into the software that called cell, or pager with a text message immediately when the bug (during the 2am overnight processing occurred). I soon got appreciated.
If you have a TPM hardware chip in the ARM based hardware, the new bios that will not boot without the TPM validating the signature, or without some of the OPSYS permenantly resident in the NEW BIOS, This was done to protect the operating system, and to eventually protect files from piracy.
New hardware has replaced VGA and dVI with HDMI. A single HDMI cable carries voice and video to the TV or monitor equipped with speakers. There is nothing to stop you from acquiring a HDMI based recorder to make copies of your own files. Will you be allowed to share your file copies? SOPA will in theory make that illegal. SOPA will fail because a) I buy a book, I read it and pass it to a friend, who reads it, and passes it to a friend, etc. The book does not have a serial number (at least paper based books do not), and therefore SOPA cannot be enforced. I may also photocopy some pages that I need for my purposes.
MS wants encryption to be incorporated into the HDMI Monitors and TVs. Encryption will be in force from the System boot, and will control access all peripherals by communicating to them with encryption (DES) .
Will MS and RIAA and other companies get their way?
My believe is that we, the 99% will loose. We live in an inverted totalitarian state, where the 7-10 companies and finance the government and control we, the 99% have no real say in legislation.
It is a trivially different in Canada, where political contributions have caps on amounts, and must come from individuals party members. Thus the American 99% are really equivalent to the 95% Canadian. Worse, the USA dictates to the Canadians that they must dance to the same rules. How sad..
The problem is not with "bible thumpers", but with religions that do not in their statutes, recognize that other religions are also believers in the Noah laws, and that these other religions are not evil.
I take the Noah laws as the last 6 of the ten commandments. As a bible thumper, I take the full ten.
I first thought it was a new crop or family of corn. Where the ears are so small, that from the picking to the canning, there is almost no manipulation to peel off the kernels.
Winzip is nice but not universal. I therefore switched to izArc, which appears to handle more diverse compression algorithms, including winzip, rar, lzh, etc.
WMDs are good deterrants, but the biggest WMD is the spread of knowledge via the internet. One must have a method of conveying fairness and counteracting Jealousy. I do wonder though, if it is possible to counteract religious biggotry. Many religions start brainwashing their kids beginning at age 2.
Religion spreads because it relies on guilt, and freedom from sin. The definition of sin is defined by religious beliefs. How to diminish hatred via the net is a current and future challenge.
Here is my thoughts on SOPA, PIPA, and NDAA. There will eventually come into existance of a parallel Internet, probably managed by India and China. Therein will be no SOPA, PIPA, or NDAA, but may only have political filtering. If you filter out defamation rights, or political advertising, then that will be the internet that I would choose. I most likely would not do pirating of software -- I find everything that I need with Linux or BSD.
What a great product. We had some freezing rain, and at the curb, water and snow banks were covering a hidden pothole. My son, holding his nice new all-in-one cellphone (I wont mention brand name), stepped into the puddle, to discover it was a foot deep. He fell over onto his hand which was holding the all in one and..... Water got in, road salt got in, and in 5 seconds, no more functional phone.
So a coating to protect a device against rain, or accidental exposure to water is a good good option.
