And yes drilling will help. The very news of drilling will bring oil prices down. Speculation of approval of drilling has already brought prices down already, over $20 under the high of $147. Gas prices at least where I live are down $0.15 - $0.20 since six weeks ago.
No, what brought price down is normal market price fluctuation. Speculation about drilling brought price down by exactly same amount as news that Lindsay Lohan appears to be gay.
What we need not to forget is that high oil prices reduce pollution and increase innovation and keep Americans out of SUVs. It's win-win. Offshore drilling in the long run will keep prices down by killing most if not all of human race thus driving demand down.
There was a period in Apple without Jobs. It was disastrous to Apple - it lost all positions in personal computer market, new models were in effect series of commercial failures. That pretty much turned around when Jobs came back.
Watch as Ron Paul fucks up the economy, foreign & domestic policy
FTFY. Seriously. Guy wants increase tax burden on middle class ("fair tax"), close the UN (and don't have any better replacement), and does not believe in evolution and wants to increase state support for religion.
True, terrorism cannot be avoided using these measures. It does not mean that any measures should be taken to thwart attempts or minimize effects. Locks don't stop 100% of thefts, and car alarms don't stop 100% of car thefts, but they are not pointless inventions - they serve their purpose.
You say that since nothing could prevent attacks with 100% certainty, so no measures should be taken that can prevent 80% or 10% of causalities. Thats wrong. We have to learn from events, and improve system...
Actually, thats hardly any breach of privacy. Your ratings might be made public only if you made it public yourself on IMBD. Theoretically, your netflix profile will include more movies, but then it would not be close match, and identifying will not occur. Even if it is closest match - it's game of probabilities then: it gives person grounds for plausible deniability.
In any case, that blog write up is complete bullshit: it assumes that people rate the same on imdb and netflix. It's not the case, not only because people expect latter to be private, but 1) because scales are different, and people interpret different scales differently 2) if you don't rate immediately at the same time on both sites, your experience change, and you rate same movie differently 3) i use imbd to remember which movies i saw, and use netflix to recommend me movies, which means my reason to rate is different, which makes ratings to differ.
Another assumption mentioned on that blog is date match - same movies rated on same day. If I represent average person, I don't usually rate movies on both sites at the same moment, i do them in batches.
My take on that "research" - it's not conclusive load crap.
Nobody is complaining that wall street journal does not serve everything for free. It's their right to charge subscribers for some content. So if you want - don't serve anything. Trust me, you won't be missed.
Mohammed didn't 'found' Islam, he is merely the last Prophet and perfected it.
Yeah, like Bobby Henderson did not 'found' Flying Spaghetti Monster - FSM actually found Bobby Henderson. Or L. Ron Hubbard did not start scientology, it started when Xenu thrown thetans into hawaiian volcanos or did something equaly fscked up.
Evidently you don't work in customer service. Fed-up, pissed off people are who I don't want to talk to. Also, stupid people are who I don't want to talk to.
I hear you. I am a doctor, and I just hate talking to sick people. They always whine that something hurts, or even worse - they bleed all over you. Geez, if you want to talk to someone, just make sure that you don't have bones sticking out of you.
FYI, auto_ptr does not implement neither gc, nor reference count. It may be good in simple situation where programmer knows its implementation, but fails in very simple situations. Look at this:
This one is easy. Hacker is person who likes to hack code/computer/security etc, and cracer is a dry thin baked bread product. It should not be too hard to distinguish those.
noone should die because larry ellison wants to hear the dinosaurs roar as loud as they did in the jurassic period
That bad larry elison sold oracle db server for $10K to some starving people, so now they die because they have nothing to eat this cold winter. I don't thin so...

What really bothers me is that there has been no real inovation in the software industry in 10 years. Neither proprietary nor open source.
What do you want to inovate? There was much of inovations (proprietary) came and comming from M$, Sun. (.net, soap, com+ etc). It's inovations, aren't they? It does not matter that they used to blow competitors. Sure in ideal world inovations would be done solely for progress... But even they (m$ inovations) aren't so bad. If they would be, opensource would not clone that.
! I want a system that does not crash (winblows and mac) or 'panic' *nix!!
And you want to inovate? It would take 25 years to redesign and debug nt kernel only. Every inovation should be debuged, so it would take even more years than takes it now. Sure propietary soft crashes because they care more about release before competitors does, but if you don't push release dates hard, you will be out of date, even in opensource: look at Debian:) stable is 2 years old. Sure they comming to release stable potato, and you can always use unstable, but this does changes the fact that to build something that doesn't crash take much more time. (Sure, windows is released only once in 3 years apporx, but service packs are like linux kernels, which comes 5 per year) And software corporations don't have time because of competitors and users who wants new and new features

Now if anyone would give historic prices for options for free, that would be awesome

They should apply statistical model for wars from previous story to figure out who has higher chance of winning.

No, acctually it is "not a goddamn scooter": "Inventor Unveils Machine That's Not A Goddamn Scooter, OK?"
Photos acctually were retouched, to eliminate loss of quality due to aging, that explains good quality.
#include <memory>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct tst
{
};
typedef auto_ptr<tst> p_tst;
int test(p_tst x)
{
}
void main()
{ }
It would work with simple poiters, but will segfault with autopointers...

Using a read-only language (perl? others?)
It would be write-only, I think
