I personally think this statement is pretty misunderstood. I don't think they mean "ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse" (i.e. "you should have known") but rather "if you don't know the law we're still going to punish you" (i.e. "we

I would agree with you, but keep in mind the kind of people who end up in congress. If you're a tech savvy nerd you're probably not going to be that interested in sitting around having stupid arguments about even stupider topics about peop

The SBCL common lisp implementation (at least, I'm sure it's not the only one) can also do thread local dynamic binding.

I think Aspects have penetrated pretty well via Spring. They're probably used more for logging than anything else, but it's something.

He might intend to sell this and doesn't want everyone and their 2nd cousin stealing it. Of course the flash thing doesn't prevent that either but it will probably prevent a large percentage of the people who see it on the web site.

If you ever have a good idea please hire me to implement it for you. Then I can throw a continuous stream of monkey wrenches into your effort while spending the rest of my time stealing it on the side. I want this arrangement with you spe

Depends on the camera. On medium format digital backs it is, as well as the Nikon D7000.

Perhaps, but the best way to deal with it would to work together. Not wasting resources fighting each other.

Yes, sorry that wasn't clear. I meant he was Walmart CIO, then Sam's CEO.

Kevin Turner was the CEO of Sam's Club. CIO before that.

Except it isn't and we have more than one piece of toilet paper. China innovating doesn't hurt you. In fact it could help just like collaborating with the Russians helped our space program in the past.

Not really. I lived in the US for nearly three decades and I've been to most states and I can say you'd be hard pressed to find a city that didn't have dilapidated looking parts. I think it's the nature of it. When a business moves out t

Revenue is going to have a long tail for MS because it takes so long to migrate from one system to another. I think looking at revenue and saying "see, they're still growing! Everything's fine" is a mistake. The important questions are;

>I don't because I am not chinese and will not share in the wealth of such enterprising behaviour. So you want them to remain poor and primitive just because you can't cash in on their success? That's... not very nice.

What are you afraid they're going to do? Suddenly they're as advanced as the US and then.... ? If they still can't innovate without us as some claim then nothing will change, their people will just be better off and they'll have gotten th

by danssig 15y ago
I don't understand why this is bad. Don't you want China to innovate on their own?

by danssig 15y ago
Exactly. I think this move is great... for the rest of the world.

Very bizarre statement. If your super fancy technology that Chinese just aren't smart enough to come up with on their own (xenophobia much?) needs to scale you're going to be sending it to China for manufacturing anyway. The sooner we get

It's 2011 and we're still just cave men afraid of our shadows. What rational reason would China have for trying to invade the US? Doing something like that would just piss off the rest of the world and wouldn't solve any problems they hav

I think when all things are tallied you would find they end up pretty close to a combination of you and your wife. There are just parts of you that you don't realize are the way they are.

Of course it's possible . The question is; how much work is it going to be? Will I have to use my turing complete language to implement Lisp to do it? In that case I would accept "impossible" as shorthand.

Presumably you're customers will be using similar logic so it's not completely invalid.

It's irrelevant what exactly he meant. The bottom line is that Google can't be trusted and he said this explicitly in the interview. Whether that be because Google doesn't care about your privacy or because they are afraid of fighting wit

None of those things will produce a word document that looks exactly in Word like it did when I created it. This is the problem.
