The sad part about this is that it looks like all the others and is not that interesting to me. I would prefer that there be no change at all. I am curious. I want to know the real reason why the change? My guess is again ad revenue. Well if they want less hits the beta is the route to go. Look what happened to Digg when they changed. I stopped going and so did numerous others. Yes, its there. Its a shadow of its former self. Let this be a lesson to the people who run/. No change is needed to promote vision or sections no one uses. I don't use/. TV or BI (business intelligence is as much an oxymoron as Military intelligence). I don't want embedded videos on the side ( I block all videos that are ads because its a waste of bandwidth both Yours and mine. I don't ever watch them even though I love commercials. I go to site that hosts commercials.) Click for profit (clicks for anything) is a fools gambit. So if you need a concrete positive no no don't do this on the new/. that we will be forced into its no videos embedded unless we summon them. Also certain things weren't designed to make a profit. IE news. Finally, jquery isn't a hack thats what the people who were reviewing the app were.
The US hasn't formally declared a war since 1945. Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afganistan are all either police actions or joint military operations with active combat theaters. They are not wars.
IN America, our homeless are richer sleeping in the water conduit tunnels below Las Vegas than the middle class of India and China who have beds and warm meals. How? Because in America we have choice.
This statement is absurd. You seem to be saying that homeless in the U.S. are richer because they can, what, choose to starve on the streets? Are you really speaking for people to claim that they are better off without beds and warm meals because they have some theoretical "choice"? I imagine a majority of them would disagree.
The other way this is absurd is to lump two very different countries together. You do know that India is a democracy, yes? In fact, the most populous democracy on the planet.
The *third* absurdity is your bald statement that the U.S. maintains armed forces to "get into wars to scare the ever loving hell out of every other nation". I think most politicians in both parties would facepalm over that assertion. I defy you to find any description of U.S. foreign policy by anyone with authority over it that describes the ENGAGEMENT in wars as a deterrent to other countries' aggression.
[most politicians are in politics for money and control]
You believe its absurb because you lack perspective because of your lack of experience and teaching. The fact you don;t even understand the concept of compare and contrast is absurd. A: Those people have a choice to be in the tunnels or in a homeless shelter. They choose the tunnels for various reasons. They have food, they have shelter, then have all the ammentives they want. Several work still. They chose to be there. They can choose to leave and be elsewhere and make more money and in the years to come be as wealthy as some of our wealthiest people. B: In India, there is a cast system in place. No matter how you or they try to dismantle it its still there. There are people who because they were born by someone in the bottom caste they will remain all their lives without things we take for granted like basic hygenie, clean water, the ability to walk for five minutes and get something to eat of their choice from a wide array of choices. Their life will be hard sleeping on the ground in a wood or metal ramshakle hut in a slum of New Delhi, without the hope of it ever getting better. I have been there. I have seen people who live like this. Democracy means nothing to them. The govt means nothing to them because family and local groups still have control. Want to know why the rapes are happening in India? Because the towns allow it. Want to know why the rapes happen in egypt? Because woman their are believes to be property of men and should remain silent. Also obviously you are clueless about what a democracy is: So I will let Our Military who you despise explain it:
From the USMC Training Manual No. 2000-25 A Republic is representative government ruled by law (the United States Constitution). A Democracy is government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A Republic recognizes the unalienable rights of individuals while Democracies are only concerned with group wants or needs for the good of the public, or in other words social justice. Lawmaking is a slow, deliberate process in our Constitutional Republic requiring approval from the three branches of government, the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches for checks and balance. Lawmaking in Democracy occurs rapidly requiring approval from the majority by polls and/or voter referendums, which in turn is mob rule 50% plus 1 vote takes away anything from the minority. Here is one example; if 51% of the people don’t pay taxes they can vote a tax increase on the 49% that do, which is mob rule.
Democracies always self-destruct when the non-productive majority realizes that it can vote itself handouts from the productive minority by electing the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury. To maintain their power, these candidates must adopt an ever-
I gather you have never in your life been to a foreign country with a entirely different culture, like, say, the middle east. Yes it costs money. But then again, which would you like, you stuff, abilities, choices and opportunities or a roulette wheel spun before you were born. Depending on where it lands you could be pulling out busted toxic trash for a scrap of bread or you might have the opportunity to beat your wife because she drove your car. (You don't get a choice whether to beat her or not because if you opt to be merciful, you will be branded a heretic and killed in front of your children). Doubt me? I can post pics and lines from the religious texts. IN America, our homeless are richer sleeping in the water conduit tunnels below Las Vegas than the middle class of India and China who have beds and warm meals. How? Because in America we have choice. We have that choice because of a military that gets into wars to scare the ever loving hell out every other nation. Yes, we spend money on it. Please go try living without one. You will discover quickly that human nature still is dominate or be dominated.
Italy is Incredibly corrupt and the dead woman's family believes Knows should die. However they don't have the means too get to her. This is why double jeopardy is in the constitution.
Don't just hash, salt and hash. Don't just salt, use a truly random per-username salt. Don't just do that, use PBKDF2/RFC2898/PKCS#5, bcrypt, or scrypt with tens or hundreds of thousands of iterations. Don't just do that, actively forbid users from using P@$$w0rd, P@$$w0rd1, and so on and so forth.
I disagree. Don't just do that, actively forbid users from using any password in any language. Require them to use biometric blood dna sampling form a heat detected finger. Seriously when are we going to stop being forced to remember gibberish so thieves don't steal our stuff?
No the real news is that Yahoo still exists separately from Google. I would have figured the Marissa Mayer, being the former resident Queen Bee, (literally, Illinois Institute of Technology granted Mayer an honoris causa doctorate degree in recognition of her work in the field of search in 2009 [and she was Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location Services and, before that, vice president of search products and user experience as well as the highest ranking female there.]) would have taken the job of CEO to prep Yahoo for its consumption into Google. It wasn't ever a search engine anyway. It was a directory.
Sorry but that violates the standard as well. It must return a 404 or you break testing.
And if someone has a copy of that page, guess what, its not a 404 because its found. So they DON"T BREAK TESTING BECAUSE ITS FOUND. No one said, hey lets get rid of all 404s and on the pages that are actually dead send to goatse or the internet archive.
So exactly is the "core product benefit" of Facebook? Its a social media aggregation site that originally was designed to allow students in colleges to communicate without being physically present. Now its still a bloated social media aggregation site that vacuums meta data of its users who communicate and game with each other without being physically present. However, there are at least 12 others who perform the social media aggregation function like twitter, pinterest, google plus etc. Facebook can very well vanish just like AOL has done and no one would notice except internet historians.
Once a technology reaches that level of integration into society, it, or at least the core product benefit, will be with us forever.
Not true. Horses and carts that they pulled existed for thousands of years but today you only see them with the amish. Only a technological items is surpassed, it beginned a long, sometimes quick sometimes slow descent into irrelevancy. Myspace is well on its way. Milkman have ceased as do Ice delivery. Facebook has just begun.
Overstock.com is taking BTC. So are many others. If you actually look back in our history you will see that the dollar didn't reach wide acceptance to post civil war. So BTC is a viable currency in its growth stages. You being a luddite is fine. Its your right. Just don't whine when your Landlord in 2025 does only take BTC.
As a resident of San Diego, I hope to goodness that I don't run into her... or to be more literal, that she doesn't physically run into me or anyone in my family.
To weasel out of an everyday traffic ticket is one thing... but to say that she's "defending the future" is an affront to the public servants and to regular drivers and citizens who are just trying to make our roads safe.

At some point, we need to just label "idiotic" for what it is, and admit that some "causes" are just that.
This,
Call a spade a spade, a lot of people are just idiots when driving. I'm all for protecting and advancing freedoms, but in the grand scheme of things, the freedom for some moron to smack into people at high speed on the motorway is so far down the list of priorities it's not funny.
The only way to fix bad drivers is by better training. The Nordic nations have extremely low road tolls despite a prevalent drinking culture and a lot of icy roads. It might have something to do with their rigorous driver training which includes skidpan sessions (in wet and icy conditions) as well as night driving courses. People need to learn how to control a car and not rely on software to save them in an emergency.
No, The only way to fix bad drivers is by having the cars drive themselves at slow, safe speeds without any interference from the passengers. In 2020, thanks to Google and BMW this will have happened and people will wish they could be able to do what we are whining about. And California will lead the way.
may pass some crackpot laws? NO. All California does is pass crackpot laws with an occasional smart one. Mod me down if you want but the list posted here only proves my assertion..
Um, while I support your use of the dash-cam, I see it this way. If they are inflating the numbers at all, they are lying, guilty of violating their oath of service (Australia does have those right?) and corrupt. Being pissed off simply shows they aren't mature and have no business being a cop. This isn't you capped my partner in a drug sting or punched me while I arrested you for stealing object. This is a frigging traffic ticket. There is NO excuse.
