Maybe I'm too cynical, but is that actually supposed to help anything? It looks more like a case of we-must-do-something-itus.

If you ever get to Taos and ask the people of the pueblo how long their ancestors have been there, you may well get a reply akin to, 'We have always been the people of the pueblo.' I'm not sure if the majority eschew scientis

I figured I'd read the thread prior to making a similar comment. I am not a fan of most hip-hop or rap. But, I think I can enjoy something from every genre. I was unfamiliar with this person and I've given a listen to his It'

I am not the target age but I am touring Europe next year. This interests me. Edit: I see I wasn't clear enough. It interests me because it may catch on or be available in other areas, should it be a success. Tooling through Europe in

I won't downvote you, but a lack of government is pretty much anarchy. That's just the beginning. See, you too want your fellow citizen to be educated. Their education leads to greater individual prosperity and that enables your g

Correct, but this doesn't appear to be group chat. This appears to be individual chat and the timing attacks based on their online presence. Group chat, by default, is going to seriously hinder one's ability to remain private.

Oh, the things I could write... Let's do just that, shall we? Warning, this could take a minute. The Big Dig was pretty much my first project outside of the lab. I am not overly fond of admitting to my part in the project but it could

And that's why it irks me. I'm usually fairly unflappable, but this is something worthy of my outrage. Torture is unacceptable, and is even less acceptable when done in my name.

It's a bit more complicated than that. http://blog.cdrom2go.com/2011/02/can-a-cd-rom-disc-explode-i... You can do it, but it takes some effort. CDs don't typically suffer structural failure at normal ope

It's a long article but worth reading, though not easy to stomach. What irks me most use of phrases like 'enhanced interrogation.' Bullshit. Call it what it is. It is torture. Anything less minimizes it.

It sort of reminds me of gonzo-style journalism. I took a look at their other articles, well some of them, and like their style. I'm not sure if it would appeal to a larger audience, but I liked it.

In chat applications, those features were the first to get disabled. As I recall, one of the MSN Messenger features required you to sign in before you disabled it. Anyhow, I'd disable showing online status, typing status, or automatica

It does make me wonder about Fallout 2, where you could have varied levels of morality in the game and play would adjust accordingly. By the way, it was the greatest computer RPG ever made - at least until that point. I know, that's ju

You can only plan on so much. Notably: I only modeled traffic. I am not to blame. ;-) (I have used that caveat so many times.)

You can argue that but, out of curiosity, I just sent my daughter a text. Me: 'How long do you think you kept friendship bracelets for?' Her reply: 'Maybe two weeks. I still have one from [redacted] somewhere.' As I said

I'd hope so too, but such seemed the way of my daughter and her friends when they were in that age bracket. Friendships were tossed aside at the slightest of reasons. It was a lot of drama. While probably sexist to note this, my son an

Isn't the whole premise that one is, in fact, a car thief? I submit that the presumption of superior morality is cast aside by the very title.

I'd almost suggest that discussing the morality of pixel manipulation is a bridge too far, but this is sort of why I come here. I sort of now want a PETA for video game pixels.

What they will do is make the nearly inevitable drama of teen girl lives more expensive as the devices are discarded as rapidly as BFFs and boyfriends. The drama in a young teen's life seems to know no limits. It's all very import

The Big Dig may have been closer to the budget, except it kept getting changed. An example would be that they initially planned on shutting down certain routes until a politician decided to announce that traffic flow would not be disrupted.

Thanks. Those will keep me busy for a while. It's just curiosity, I'm not expecting to enter the field of AI research. It's still fun to learn. Again, thanks.
