Indeed! That's why my suggestion was that instead of airbags we have sharp deadly AIRSPIKES! If you're in an accident, the airsplke stabs you in the face! I'll bet you'll pay some serious attention driving, THEN! If not now, then in a couple of generations once the people who don't pay enough attention to avoid getting an airspike in the face have weeded themselves out of the gene pool!

Well the math doesn't seem to care how many dimensions you have. If you need another dimension, just add another one!

Looking for a job where I can get away with expensing this.

If only we had some stem cells, we might have saved him!

If you've never stayed there, you can post a bad review for free? Because I have a special review I've been saving for years for just such an occasion!

Your servers are already pwned.

I'm glad the men in charge of ending the world have such unflinching ethical standards.

Just use the Google public DNS. Also, Windows 7 can have intermittent DNS issues like that when waking up from hibernation. It can ping fine by IP, just not domain name. So if the problem keeps happening after you switch to Google, that's probably why. From poking around on the Internet, Microsoft's answer to that seems to be "Try another network card." Mine is, "The problem doesn't happen with Linux."

I hadn't thought of it in those terms, but... yeah. Until the people who want to live their lives without having to worry about exploding on a daily basis stand up and fuck some assholes, the situation is going to remain the same in that area of the world.

This one seems to be caused by a tiny percentage of assholes on both sides. Peace will never be in the assholes' best interest as it will reduce the amount of control the assholes have over their populations. Dozens of times during my lifetime peace has been within reach, only to be shattered by some asshole on one side or the other. Until such time as leaders arise on both sides who are interested and committed to a peaceful solution, this situation will not change.

My programming skills are debatable but I tested in the top 10th percentile for dick-punching. Here... let me show you...

But we don't do that. We never do that. As developers, we hide our head in the sand until we absolutely can no longer ignore then problem, and then we say "Whoops! My bad!" As consumers we assume that professionally published software should be reasonably free of bugs or exploitable code. And people start being held accountable by law for their shitty software, the status quo will never change.

I was demonstrating to a shitty software developer the other day how all his input sanitizing routines were in the javascript front end to his web application and anyone bypassing the javascript could essentially have their way with the back-end database, and he told me "Oh you're making a back-end API call, no one will ever do that!" No one except the guy who's hacking your fucking system, jackass. People like that make me want to sign on as Linus' personal dick-puncher. Whenever someone writes some shitty software that pisses Linus off, I will find that person and I will PUNCH THEM IN THE DICK. Because I swear to god, that's what it's going to take. Congress is going to have to WRITE A LAW allowing me to HUNT PEOPLE DOWN and PUNCH THEM IN THE DICK over the SHITTY SOFTWARE they write. And when that day comes, with God as my witness, I will PITCH A TENT outside MICROSOFT HEADQUARTERS, and that will be the LAST TENT EVER PITCHED at MICROSOFT HEADQUARTERS!

If you run adblock, you won't anyway.

Wow alternet, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. Maybe they just never upgraded their T1 line.

Is there a lot more activity somewhere else in his nervous system? Perhaps we distribute the processing load as we learn the moves. IIRC I've read a couple of papers that suggest that more processing than we realize takes place in our retinas when we do object recognition. I'd guess if you measured the brain activity of someone who's been driving for a couple of decades while they're driving, you'll find a lot less brain activity than someone who's just started. Maybe that's why the newbie has so much trouble with it -- it's an activity that requires a lot of reflexive movement and the newbie hasn't learned those yet. I've noticed that when I get in a car where the controls are a bit different, my eyes don't know where to go to gather the information that I need right now and I actually have to think about it. Could be a symptom of that...
