There are crazy fanatics in all groups. Its easy to villify those that aren't in your tribe or faith, but they are human beings just like you. Though his words may be self-serving in cooling the often undiscriminating hate against his religion, you can't say that terrorism and media exposure aren't in any way linked. To say the opposite is to invite more terror, if you like it or not. The rest of your rant are so bile spewed its not worth addressing. I live in a country largely isolated from terrorism (domestic and international), so I'm thankful for that, but I've personally known dozens of perfectly well adjusted muslim's who live quite normal lives surrounded by Christians, Agnostics, and everyone else most notably. I personally have more issues from dirty bible thumpers talking about all of us going to hell than I've ever been threatened by a Muslim.

Slashdot posted 911, so how exactly is this any different? Oh, because most slashdotters are American, it automatically becomes relevant, whereas when it happens to someone else, "how the fuck is this for nerds"? The truth is, big news specifically regarding military and terrorism usually gets a passing article link through Slashdot, and if you're really that hard done by for it, just skip the post.

US --- 2.83 homicides per 100k
FR --- 0.22 homicides per 100k

I'd say it's mission accomplished, or at least better off. Sorry, what was your point exactly? That these highly armored, highly armed individuals would've been stopped dead by citizen vigilantes?

There's no reason to hate a protocol because its binary. That's just retarded since any protocol analyzer will be able to represent the data in a consice way for anyone who cares to know. The benefit of the new tech as I see it is this: You hit home page X, analytics has proven that 95% of users on page X go to page Y. Why not start batching out page pieces from Y early, so that when the user navigates to Y, it'll be there significantly faster. Seems like a win for me, as long as there's some semblence of security around cache saturation.

Hey, I have this too and love it, though I think the OP is smoking something and most likely won't be able to find anything viable. The rest of the posters have much more wokrable solutions than I'll bother repeating, but computers are a trade-off, and you need to choose the most viable solutions in your individual secenario the best you can, but no magic waving hands will violate the underlying fundamentals of modern computing's limitation.

1. The story was written (by many independent people apparently) long after his apparent death
2. Is Moses a real person, and did he really also part the red sea? Even if the parting is BS, even the exodus from Egypt is largely based on few anecdotes. Actually, is moses a real person at all? Probably, maybe, who knows. The magic of history is that after a couple generations, its hard to distinguish fact from hear-say unless there's enough objective proof to show the trail. The problem with Jesus is there was practically 0 notable historical significance to Jesus' existance outside of the belief system that manifested out of the stories told about him.

If they don't sell seats (which really depends on how much they want to undercut to fill), they can always ship more cargo, which can actually be quite lucritive, though probably somewhere south of an economy ticket, but I don't know those details.

No, they're cookie cutter sci-fi plots which could've been perfectly viable on their own under a different handle, but instead they legerage their name and eliminated the entire multi-generation build-up for Star Trek (though admintedly pretty bad in the last 90's/00's). After the first reboot, I gave up on it entirely.

I see the next epic sellout to be Terminator. Arnold has single handedly ruined that franchise by continually being the pivotal character who's relevance was spent after the second edition. Third, fourth, and what would've been the final movies would've been much better showings if they didn't try to ham fist Arnold's character into every single one. As for the reboot, once again, fuck it. Ther entire franchise didn't exist anymore, so who the hell cares. Even Emilia Clarke can't save that production for me.

Hadoop is good at generally running massive queries of tons of data in a relatively efficient amount of time. I say efficient and not fast, becuase the requests can vary from well structured for grid data sets to massive bloated ugly queries that would be massive bloated and ugly in any DBMS environment. If you want to talk about regulation, etc.. I think you're batrking up the wrong tree with Hadoop. If you're concerned with regulation, seed the DB with unique though meaningless data when importing and avoid all of those problems.

NIMBY man, it either makes people on the interstate slower, or those in their neighborhoods. The result is someone's going to be unhappy that you're on the road. If said is the case, there's absolutely no asshole cred being handed out for making your life easier.

Don't like traffic going through your nehbourhood? Make it unmanageable for traffic to traverse quickly, which will affect you, but everyone pays for those roads, and everyone has the right to use them as they see fit.

It could only be barely considered illegal if the channel in which the media is presented has some form of 'official' character. If Google published a video under their official YouTube publishing tag, one could say that the video should be as specified, but if spliff666 published "Attack of the Clones" to their YouTube account, there's exactly zero assumption of the video being in any form 'legitimate', which a charge of fraud would first have to establish--- IMHO IANAL.

That in fact depends on the host country's law regarding this. In the US, facilitating the illegal use of copyright is enough to get into trouble, which is why there aren't Illegal content torrent sites in the US, and why many old peer software sharing services like napster no longer exists.

I have a friend who is one, and no matter how hard you try to get them to see reason, you know you're talking to a brick wall, because their wall of ignorance will never allow for rational discourse. Their belief has only been amplified by all the media on new/old age of holistic medicines, aroma therapy, acupuncture, food alergies, etc. etc.. some may actually have some practical benefits for some illnesses, but that just reinforces the belief that a scorched earth approach to diet, medication, etc... are somehow better for themselves / children. I fear for those people, and apparently from the article, those around them.

Yeah, they're really shaking in their boots. But really, if you want 'anonymous' go use Tor I guess. What is this besides something that will probably break most of the web?

Seriously, if you think static content is the life blood of your internet business, then a solution like this (though packaged specifically for your audience) is great, but how does this help anyone else, when I'd say about 90% of the content delivered to most people now a-days are at least somewhat curated to you as an individual or at least browser individual?

I'd complain more about Java generics being an illusion to begin with, which is annoying but not the end of the Earth. Considering that all generics were overlayed the java 'Object' typing model of which runtime/language primitives like int/float/etc.. are not a part of, it isn't surprising that primitives were left out of the generics system as well.

isNullOrEmpty is a trivial single-line method, which is generally why nobody who develops in java cares about this or any other nit picking problems. Why not bitch about the lack of Pairs and Triples?

"??" is once again syntactic sugar, which is fine if you want to obfuscate and reduce code clearity, but if I wanted to write (X==null?X:-1). I think most people can deal with it as well.

There are many reasons to hate on Java, but at least rant about things (like non-runtime generics) that are actual problems to people who use the language on a day to day basis?
