1. I remember that research, but it deals only with "programmed self-destruction". To completely fix the mortality problem we'd need to redesign the human organism from the ground up, which might not be feasible. Kind of &quo

Intel 4004 was just specialized hardware for some Japan calculator (the size of the modern desktop). And it was just 40 years ago.

I actually think that IBM just did more to fight aging than any aging science can do in the foreseeable future. Biological cells are "designed" for failure, they can not live forever (except in some simplest forms). What would hap

That's almost exactly what I was doing for years. Two differences: 1. I sometimes ask 1-2 technical questions, for example if the candidate claims exceptional knowledge of some important (for us) technology, but his/her resume doe

I'm dad, not mom (though mom shares my concern) :-) You're saying "start becoming a woman" as it contradicts being an "IT person", whatever that means, programmer, sysadmin, etc. Why? I want my daughter to beco

Let's say I have a magic wand which will make all -isms go away in one waving. I waved, -isms went away and now what? Where do I hire skilled black female CoffeeScript developers? How many of them do actually exist? I'm insider&#x

What about, say, Safari browser itself, which presents "Gecko" in it's useragent string? If it is a punishable offence, imagine how much money one can extract from Apple for doing so...

Nice to meet you! :-) I still (barely) remember one bug which gave me a hard time - when compiling for 68030, I believe, under certain conditions gcc put floating point variables initialized with a constant into the constant segment. Which

When I started working on gcc 1.36 (company I was working for was designing Unix workstations and we were fixing the backend for MC680x0) we used RCS. But I'm not sure it was the original SCM, we didn't even have Internet access t

Awesome book, thanks, exactly what law idiots like me need. I actually ignored the jury factor, my fault. When police officers brutally kill someone they're still "our" guys, good guys.

That makes sense, thanks. I have an issue with 'police thought' though. I was flying through the US airspace once and the plane made a stop at Seattle. We get off the plane, had a snack (and smoke) and then boarded the plane again

I'd appreciate if you'll find a flaw in the following: 1. Officer wants to return home no matter what. 2. He/she decides to use as much firepower as possible to achieve that - 50 cal guns, military grade armor, armored cards

You're essentially saying that the only way to stop this is to use an excessive force in return.

This. I'm also looking (as in 'ready to pay') for a similar service for enterprise IT SaaS with a very light entry level offering to boot from.

I hope we'll get back there with v6. (I worked at the company with /8 IP block and always thought that this is how the founding fathers intended it to be).

It's like asking why US sends drug dealers to jail instead of making them pharmacists. In 99.999% cases you don't need to know assembly language to start a company. But you have to know or be able to figure out many other things

It could be a waste of your resources, because many such listings are actually not designed to lure good qualified prospects, they have a completely opposite intent - lure idiots and unqualified people. Even if you apply, they'll talk

I think that the most serious risk in this scenario is that pilots would have a great chance to die of laughter when they'd figure out what this noise is.

Well, probably the following could at least help them with reputation: 1. Public apology and explanation how they are going to prevent this in the future 2. Publishing the full transcript of the story free of charge and publicly announcing

You've got very high standards in image quality :-) Nikon D600 at 25600: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/nikon-d600/nikon-d600G... Not even close to "piss poor" in my book.

To get such less noise you not only need to utilize advanced materials, but also cool down the sensor considerably. To register single photon impacts you'll need to cool down to 0K I guess :-)
