Taking care of children/elders/family/friends/neighbors. With everything else automated, people will still be in need for social interaction with real humans. Currently the issue is that there's no simple economic value to put on these task

Catching predators is (still) a matter of law enforcement (and IMHO that's a useful safeguard, even if flawed in some instances). Providing law enforcement with better tools might be a worthwhile geek venture (and given the tools they are s

So instead, it's time for googlebombing the sites out of the index? Might make more of an impact (longer-lasting, too) than the OpMegaupload DDoS. Google can keep its moral highground, and the delisting is "for the people, by the people" ;-

In Germany, it's not one long string of all candidates, but the TV channels have certain slots between shows that are semi-randomly assigned (semi-randomly in that each spot is shown equally often), with one party per slot. That way it's a

Given the right position ignorance is pure gold (eg. delivered as cheques by lobbyists), no matter if "over 60" or not. We have a couple of 30-somethings in German government, they "don't get it" (and/or don't want to) either. So I'd advise

And now the problem is that files with "," or spaces in the name fail... The "reversible scrambling" proposal above might work (though not ROT13) - that way the data is there _if needed_, but it takes concious effort to take a look. If in t

Oh. 28. He really wasted the best part of his life on the CMS...</sarcasm> (But I suppose, life ends at 30 for many here, given the spin many VCs try to put on entrepreneurship)

The article states that they did the switch because Google asked for too much money - a very good reason to move items to the top of the TODO list. So while the "noble" reasons were there, they probably had enough other things to do (those

Politicians tried that line in Germany. They even gave a number of countries that have "no laws" or don't follow up on them. For every country named, the ambassador to Germany was able to cite laws that prohibit child pornography (or just p

I suppose (well, hope) that the point of these statements is that their curriculum differs in some aspects. Maths (like all topics in school) is too wide to teach everything, so they had to pick their battles. The 30% that aren't covered in

Since those lines start counting at A0, it's the 21st bit. The thing is, with 20 bits you can address one megabyte, but without a 21st line, any calculated offset (be it indirect addressing or, more commonly, segments) will roll over. For c
