If that is supposed to say Evil people are a subset of dumb people, then I have to disagree. There are brilliant people who are also evil, like a good portion of the Nazi leaders, or Rupert Murdoch, or emperor palpatine.

Welp, this does it for me. As soon as i can get a completely carrier unlocked iPad in the bay area, I'm going to switch from my laptop (x61t) to this new iPad plus a dock and a BT keyboard and mouse. All I really need is an ssh/X-window ser

No zoning at all. My engineering ethics class covered a case in Houston, which has 0 zoning of any kind (or at least it did in the late 80's early 90's at the time of the events we covered. things might have changed) and the effects of putt

heh, your story reminded me of the bar scene in Good Will Hunting: WILL: The sad thing is, in about 50 years you might start doin' some thinkin' on your own and by then you'll realize there are only two certainties in life. CLARK: Yeah? Wha

ahh, i see your point, now. thanks. what do you think about adding engineers (for certain values of engineer) to the list of professions that get paid to do research?

for me, the coolest fact was that the Titanic's spotter saw the iceberg when it was still a mile away. For some reason, I thought the spotter only saw it with hundreds or tens of yards to spare.

I think some of the "features" windows is "borrowing" are pretty suspect: native USB 3.0 support is almost laughable. Does anyone actually think Microsoft wasn't going to natively support USB 3 until they saw it was on linux? I also don't t
