We all should ware Kevlar vests to protect us from shootings. Those who got killed and didn't wear a Kevlar vest is their own damn fault.

You find a flaw, you report it. If they choose not to act and something goes wrong, it is the guys who failed to take actions fault, with the guy who did the crime, you end up the Hero. If you find a flaw and exploit it. It is all your fault, and you are the villain.

That and the impressive movie interface isn't necessarily good for normal use.

The issue with Misted and Movie 3d displays is the normal translucency and clarity. Sure it is nice to see an object in 3d and it can give you some scale... However the real need is to see the detail.

3D Star Wars style, makes for a good movie, but are you better off talking to a shaky Yoda in blue, but in 3D, or a 2d full color high resolution Yoda.

I say the real trick for teleconferincing today is to move the camera behind the screen so when you look at the persons eyes on the screen you are looking into the camera so it seem like you do have eye contact.

You can teach them to code, but I don't think most of them will want to code.

People are not stupid they can learn... However (especially in america) people identify themselves with the work that they do. The fact that they identify themselves as a miner is an important aspect to themselves, attributes that make a good miner are attributes that the person values and strives in themselves. Physical Strength, Courage, Hard Work, working with big equipment...
Taking this person and tell them that you need Patients, Attention to Detail, Creativity, and Sitting at a desk, to succeed, is at odds with their favorite values of themselves. You will be better off giving them a job wired networking, or laying out fiber across the country, if they want to go in technology.

Just as me a Software Developer was told that I need to work in the Mines. Yes I can learn how to do it. However I wouldn't really fit in too well. For one I would get really board as my mind wouldn't be as active, as well as I would be more miserable as I am not working in a comfortable work environment. As well as I may be a bit more sweemish as I am in a place that could kill me at any minute.

But how much more trouble would they be in if they had hard evidence.

With a convenient technical glitch, there is at least the argument that they followed procedures. Vs. blind proof that they were abusive.

We will cloud source it to the internet and come back with a solution.

Found it.
We will get Chuck Norris to launch a Australian Pirate Zombie Ninja from a catapult at Mars. which is the perfect candidate because being a Pirate they will want to collect treasure, being a Zombie they will be immune from death, and as a ninja they will be stealthy and fast, the Australian part is because they will know how to boomerang themselves back to earth.
Flawless where is my $250,000 I have a mortgage to pay off.

So we see evidence of a seeming Miraculous event in the universe. One that seems to defy logic. And you use it as a time to get angry at people who believe in God.

Is your atheism so week, that you fall back on violence if confronted with evidence that seems to force you to realign your belief structure.
So tell me again how atheist are better than religious people?
Or is it that you are just as human as the rest of us, and will strongly hold onto our belief structure and get very angry when something dissuades it.

Did you ever notice that Police Dashboard cams seem to glitch out between the time they do the stop, and during an escalation. Then seems to be working when a bruised suspect finally hits the cop.

I expect the same thing...
You see a video of the inspector. Talking to the owner who is wearing a nice gold watch. Well lets take a look at that refrigerator, the display get very pixally the sound wavers and is hard to hear, then it finally comes back on, with the inspector well it looks good then shakes the guys hand with a tan line, while the inspectors is wearing a gold watch.

Screw you those cheap third party knockoffs.
I am going for a Sorney and a Genuine Penaphonics!

I hope he doesn't get too much more trouble. You should be really annoyed that they found the name of the guy who made the bug.

If open source contributors get so much negitive press due to a bug, how do you think you will get other people to contribute to OSS projects?

We all make bugs, this one got past layers of reviewers who should be as much in the blame too. But unlike companies who have insurance to cover these expensive legal attacks, the individual would just be crushed.

Or the number of people who file for their Taxes....

In short people will procrastinate.
Out of the uninsured...
I say about 10% would never join because they hate all things Obama.
Then you have those who do not want to join out of principal or figure the Tax Penalty is cheaper than getting insurance.
There is a portion who do not know about it.
Some will over procrastinate figuring they can always come in late.
However most would wait until the last minute.

I guess you are not from the North East.
Pot Holes. The hole doesn't just appear, is breaks loose then a car or truck or plow will dislodge the material and make the hole. Causing debris, often without you seeing it. Other people can be careless too such as rear-ending you. And sometimes even if you are very careful, something could distract you enough to get in an accident.
We all think that we are great drivers... But we are not, a lot of times when we are not at our best, we are lucky that nothing happened or the other guy corrected himself before you hit them. If a driver is really that good of a drive and careful, they would be such a nervous wreck that they wouldn't every drive a car.

You are getting yourself in a world of pain!

XP users will bitch and moan enough already if they have to use Windows 7 or 8. Giving them Linux would be much worse.

Here are some common misconceptions about end users:
1. They are stupid and only do stupid thing with there PC: Firefox and libreOffice is not the limit to a persons PC usage. They are going to do more complex things even if they don't realize it. They will want to share files over the network, they may want to attach their Camera to their PC, Video Conference, Do some graphics manipulations, even sometimes do basic system admin on their PC, such as updates or putting in a driver. You need to give them more credit then most people do. Linux for the desktop tends to have a doughnut hole in usability. You get Granny Open your program and browse the web. You got advanced user where you can script and program all you want... The hole is in the Moderate user category.

2. Their PC's will work great with Linux: Who really fully checks the Linux compatibility list when getting a PC. Especially if you initially get a windows PC. Even old PC's you may find that a network controller isn't supported, or a video driver never really worked right with that screen. Hardware makers usually make sure their stuff works on windows first then perhaps in Linux if they feel like there is a market for it.

3. Vendors/Customers/Partners will bend backwards to help you keep supported. I am sending you a DOCX with a Macro in it for you to view. Are you really going to have them redo their work so you can view that document. A vendor may give you a crappy convert. The customer will defiantly give you lip. A partner may question you.

4. We don't use Legacy Software: There is always that piece of legacy software that you have that makes porting expensive.

I don't care for Michael Moore either.
Let me ask you a question which you will need to answer on the fly. Then let me take a few weeks to come up with a good rebuttal, if I can't Ill just edit your good points out and make you seem like a raving nut.

I have also watched about 10 minutes some stupid documentary on Netflix about Dragons. Expecting a historical account of the Dragon as mystical monster/or at least a large lizard that wasn't scientifically classified, differences in cultures, their metaphorical meanings... No it was some lame ass attempt to debunk evolution by using hearsay and faulty logic to make their point.

Actually they are.
Like all things in the world we need a balance.
If Labor Laws are too tight, business will not operate in these areas, they will move to somewhere where there are easier laws. Go north to the UK, West to the America's East to China. Causing a lot of people without work, and hurting the economy.

If Labor Laws are too free, then we have blatant exploitation of the workers, creating a situation were people cannot get ahead in life, and are stuck doing what the company says, with no way of saying no without suffering a penalty. Causing the workers to move to a place where they are more labor regulations, that will make their lives easier.

The thing is we need a sweet spot where the Labor Laws allow for both companies and employees growth. Because this will be a compramise that will mean the company will not have all the freedom it wants and the employees will need to do some things that suck too.

Hey just as long as you are considered part of the Majority you are perfectly fine to be discriminated against.

However I think the real issue isn't as much of lack to trying to teach women how to code. But their particular interest in coding isn't there.

Women who major in computer science face pressure from other women.
Why do you want to go to Computer Science only guys do that?
Do you want to major in a degree where it is full of dorks?
Well I a majoring in a degree where I can directly help people. What are you doing with computer science, you will just be making money for yourself.

Sure a woman will get some negative feelings form guys. But they will get it from guys in any major where there will be straight guys there. High School and College age students are extremely keen on attracting a mate. If you are a women in a mostly male degree than these males will fight for your attention, by showing that they are alpha males in their field. This is often at the expense of making it seem like the female isn't as good, so the alpha male can come in and save the day.
