As for having "little regard for their fellow humanity (sic)", well, even someone of only average intelligence would think that half the people in the world are stupid. Imagine what Feynman felt like.
I often have, among others. Feynman loved to teach. I asked an ex professor friend of mine if he'd heard of him. He said he didn't, until he said, "Oh yes, he teaches concepts!"
I.Q. is flawed because while memory is great, what makes someone intelligent is what they can create. If you understand the concepts, then the rest falls into place quickly and easily. If you only "memorize" parameters and processes, then you can't as easily create a solution to a different but related problem. (Like with division, I got in trouble for doing it "my" way, but it showed I knew what I was doing. They wanted me to use their process and memorize it, but it didn't help me understand what exactly what all of those numbers meant in the real world.) You don't discover for yourself, which is the joy in learning. He was indeed a great teacher, and I think he could teach anyone almost anything, provided the time and that they weren't retarded. Even then, you might be surprised. As Mr. Miyagi said, "No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher." All you need to teach anyone something is their interest.
Although I have little if any real science to back this up, I can offer the anecdotal evidence that the majority of high IQ people I know are collectively dumber than a box of rocks. They are quite knowledgeable when it comes to certain fields of expertise but just can't hack Real Life. They're arrogant jack-asses with little regard for their fellow humanity.
Ignorance is merely "lack of knowledge". Stupidity is wanting to stay ignorant. (for whatever reason, including some form of ignorance or overconfidence) Stupid does not mean dumb, which is more of a retardation. There are a LOT of intelligent, stupid people. I think most are likely just ignorant of the fact they aren't half as wise as they think.
Aye. Someone was complaining on Facebook the other day about what Congress gets paid, and how with the looming shutdown claiming that soldiers wouldn't be paid. They threw some numbers around and said, there is our debt there. (not true) I told them I only WISH that would happen. They'll never let soldiers not get paid until the scheme's collapse, because then they would lose all control within, say the time it takes to get our Internet back online...
However, like teachers, officers, etc. (which ARE underpaid), civil servants should be compensated well. We expect bright people (what it would take) to do the job as you describe it, and yet want to pay them beans compared to what they could make in the private sector?
Really? You really think that is a good idea, and will just automagically work out for us. Rioooooooooght. Some people... don't think.
Aye, it is Oracle that is hoping to keep their embrace, so that one day "soon" they may be able to extend. We all here for the most part know what the last e is, I think.
Right, that is the best I could find as well when I was convincing a friend who is how you say, "paranoy" it would work. (Thanks.) Surely there is something in the source that mentions it, but one shouldn't have to dig to discover a "feature", imho... I think more people would use it if it was more widely known as fact.
As someone stated, it validates only in the way that GPL does. Without a patent, then it could be "patented" under your nose. Can you fight it an win? Probably, but who wants to waste resources fighting? Refusing to play the game only works if you're not already in it. You can't stop in the middle, or you defacto forfeit/lose.
Good to know, I use Mumble and was curious if it might plan to take advantage. My understanding is that Mumble is encrypted, but all the more reason for lower latency?
Not sure what AC is talking about, seems to be what the site says it does. I downloaded a sound file. This is the first time I have heard the codec, and it does sound extremely good. I don't know much about these matters, but I liked that it was "open", and could be relevant to my interests somehow.
Not Goatse, but still disgusting and off topic... I am just trying to figure out why someone takes time out of their day to repeatedly spam Goatse to Slashdot. Is this a bet or something? Either way, perhaps you should consider that while virtually no one is "normal", you should get checked out for your obsessive compulsive tendencies...
It doesn't really matter who pays, as the cost will be passed onto the customer in the end. The only way to ensure that on the credit card companies is either A. higher processes fees, or B. make the merchant accountable in reality for the most part on fraud. They are smart enough to "hold" the money, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it is both ways.
Apparently the Slashdhot readership aren't happy to do your job of making your point, because they agree that people kill people and that guns are just a tool. Nothing more. Proprietary software and ideologies are a tool as well. But it doesn't have good purposes, like hunting or defense, and that is where the analogy you made breaks down.
I think he was saying that we should move on and not focus on giving the power to Microsoft that they now no longer deserve. Energy would be better focused elsewhere and on other obstacles and enemies. They won't win, have been beaten, and the year of the Linux desktop is coming, unless something else that is libre happens first.
They study is likely done/pushed by those that oppose any or certain violent media. As with much "science" there is an obvious bias from the get go. Certainly what a child learns has an effect, this has been proven. Obvious even, that we can only do what we know, or build off of that. And you are right, they would be better off studying how to effect children in a positive way and allow video games to be merely an constructive outlet, than wasting time on studies that will continue be "inconclusive" or disagree with others since they aren't going into this with honest intentions. The rest of us that are smarter than the scientist are scratching our heads and going mad watching the idiocy.
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry about double posting, but having spoke to some people in Freenode's #mumble channel, I got some more info...
They are looking at Opus.
Screenshot showing encryption. (Thanks dD0t)
Ah yes, I remember seeing that before. I think I did the same as you. Good Job... *book marked*

Do you have:
(1) Respect for the Constitution;
(2) Respect for Life;
(3) Belief in Limited Government; and
(4) Belief in Individual Responsibility
Then you sound like you are a Frederick Douglass Republican.
Oh Dave, I'm so sorry, how will I be able to thank you? Mmmmm, nck nck nck nck nck... yessss, nck nck nck nck.
Get Oracle out of here! "No, wait, wait, let'm finish. "There will be peace in the middle office suite...."
Aye, it is Oracle that is hoping to keep their embrace, so that one day "soon" they may be able to extend. We all here for the most part know what the last e is, I think.

That is a good illustration, thanks.

Is that you NBCA?
I have heard it both ways, and the documentation I have seen doesn't make it all that clear.
Mod parent up please! Definitely note worthy...

California Condor, Buffalo, etc. Scientists, letting their "faith" get in the way of good science.

You give cobra's to your kids for comfort and as a pet? That may be the way they do it where you're from, but at least a cat won't kill a child.
Mod her, I mean *cough* "parent" up! Oh, and by the way, will you marry me?
