What is that in Libraries of Congress?

Then perhaps some sort of failsafe involving IP over Avian Carriers is in order.

I see a whole bunch of people posting the most basic "for loop"

If this is your opinion of what CS is, and thats all there is to cheat on, then are you ever way off base. Although I grew up a "basement coder", I was pleasantly surprised that my university education consisted, in addition to the top three (programming, networking, databases), philosophy of pirating, algorithm analysis, history of databases, research into certain figures (Alan Turing, among others), future of AI, etc. I still see many areas for potential misconduct.

It's not about basic flow control.

It's a matter of logic, not language. VB.net isn't the issue. It's now so close to C#, that it might as well *be* that. It's certainly no easier, or harder, for that matter.

The most useful "programming" course I took, other than algorithms and data structures was symbolic logic. I'll bet that this course would be a fairly accurate predictor of who passes and who fails in programming.

Having said that, if Apple says that doing such-and-such may wreck the machines, you've been warned.

Nuff said. You knew the risk, you did it anyway, and continued to do risky things by Applying an Apple update.

Jesus, even all the jailbreakers knew it was going to happen. The only people who didn't were idiots who ran some script/app that the jailbreakers made without having any understanding what so ever of what was going on.

Making it easy to Jailbreak phones isn't a good thing, just means you end up with a lot of morons who jailbreak because ... they can ... not because they have a reason to, who then proceed to do stupid shit like apply updates that aren't known to be safe or are known to be unsafe or getting raped because their retarded ass installed SSH and left the default password.

If you jailbreak and you update and it breaks, accidentally or on purpose, you still have no room to complain, sorry. If you didn't expect it to break, you are an ignorant fool indeed.

A. We're talking about ag quality treadmills, not human quality. Ag equipment tends to be designed to handle weather, dirt and manure while lasting a lot longer than treadmills meant for humans.

B. While manufacturing/maintaining the treadmills has a carbon footprint, so does getting power from non-treadmill generators to the milking machines.

C. Is that much additional feed needed? Farmers do have to consider feed costs in all the things they do. If they are lucky, they have their own feed sources or feed sources that are close by. I do recall one version of the article claiming that the cows wouldn't be any more active on the treadmill than they would be in the field.

D. All conversion systems have energy losses. To minimize these losses you need to get the generator as close to the end user as possible. In this case, the cow powered treadmill could be used to power the equipment used to milk the cow powering the treadmill, with an offset due to timing. (Batteries would likely be needed, or some sort of schedule that has X cows on the treadmills while Y cows are being milked.)

E. When considering the cost of copper, you also need to consider the demands that the solar industry and the wind power industry are putting on the market. Is the amount of material required for treadmills, with their reduced point to point losses, less than the amount of material needed to move power from solar and wind farms?

F. You might consider the treadmill idea to be more a case of trying to use an unused resource as opposed to creating a new power system. If the total value, financial and environmental, of the power generated exceeds the total cost, financial and environmental, of the equipment and other resources needed to generate that power, then it is a good idea. Note that these factors WILL vary location. Also note that the person promoting the idea wanted to reduce his dependency on fossil fuels. (In an area with lots of water and a good climate for growing hay, this could be done by using horses as opposed to tractors.)

General Comment: To be completely fair to all points of view, the cost/benefit analysis needs to consider all of the above and more before accepting or rejecting the idea.

The real reason it was so easy, is that the iPad is a money-maker for the news-industry.

Do basic 555 timer projects to learn how to make LEDs flash, tones, bounceless switches, etc. Also, get an Arduino. It takes very little time and not so many parts to get from Cool Idea to Thing that Works.

Isn't the idea to identify and track them? It doesn't matter that they visit other jihadi sites as long as they also visit the honeypot site.

Instead of giving mexico money let them move to the US and PAY TAXES. Rather than the system of having tons of illegals. Turn them into valuable citizens. All it would do is improve the ecnomy. But it messes with the voting patterns of southern states. Perhaps spread out immigrants throughout the states? Cheap labour everywhere sounds good to me. Hell, tax them extra, garnish their wages for their first 5 years. They will still come, though they get paid less than minimum wage (after the taxes).

Do as I do, bring your PSP with you. Yes, it causes a lot of "light pollution", but strangely nobody really complained during the ads. If anything, people around me were jealous that they didn't think of it.

Almost all the 3D movies I've watched were either made with 3D in the first place, and those were all good experiences. The exception was Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D, and for that, they went back to all the original data files and re-rendered them for proper stereoscopic effect. There are services that scan a 2D film and make fake 3D, but I've yet to see a 3D movie made that way.

So go ahead and do this. If it's so viable as a business plan, there are billions of dollars out there for you to make, and give away if you don't actually want the money for yourself.

If, on the other hand, you would just like to sit on the sidelines and complain that those who do don't do it in a way that satisfies you, well... you'll have to forgive me for saying "too bad" and dismissing you. If you wait for what's handed to you, you deserve whatever you get.

Does 3D matter much for sports? Football/Soccer are recorded from a big distance a lot of the time. So the amount of 3dness doesn't matter a whole lot. Really, fake 3d might work there, pop the players and ball a little bit. You don't really need a huge amount of depth. How much immersion do you need to watch a game? Surround sound with the crowd noise pumped up a little should be enough.

Uber high budget TV shows like Lost/Heroes w/e would probably be helped by 3d. More immersive. And movies of course could benefit. LOTR type things, they are mostly CG anyways.
