You should know how much incercaration cost to society...I'm not in the US and I can tell you the US pays a crapload of money for their prison. A small investment like this seems to be fair if you ask me. They choose their people who have more chance to graduate and in return, they pay taxes when they get out of prison, seems like a win-win situation to me

Comment its a practice done since our society was... (Score 1) 453

I'm not sure how it goes in other countries but it should be the same especially from the youtube movie called earth but the way industrialized countries raise they're livestock is really alarming. For example, here in Québec (east of canada for those who don't know where exactly) pigs are in big warehouses where they're usually born and raised but because there's so much of them in 1 space because of today's needs, they give them antibiotic. Of course, they're system removes most of the antibiotic after time but theres a small percentage that they keep and when they get killed so they sell there meat for us to eat, we get those antibiotics because they can't be removed 100%

So who's to blame here... if there is one to blame. I honestly believe society as a whole is to blame since they want meat. Companies gives them what they want because they want to make profit. On the other hand, people want meat as well so its an endless loop. If this continues at this rate.. Time for me to change my diet lmao

Comment Start simple (Score 0) 55

I'm certainly no expert at this but how about start going simple. Planets that are far away (distance wise) farther than the earth are too cold, closer are too hot. Maybe its possible at one point in time the Planet Mars had a similar orbit than the earth either a complete similar orbit which was able to substain life or partial orbit so it would be just enough to substain life and/or water at one point and for some reason, its orbit changed so that way it got further away from the sun eventually we know mars as we know today... It's possible that I'm totally wrong as well lol

unless it's different with ISP but a computer received that IP from the dhcp pool, so to the ISP's view, it belongs to the ISP and not the person since the ISP pays for the IP address and they "lend" that "service" to their customers. If the MPAA says anything different, then they need a cisco network course to be honest. What I just said is just simple logic and anyone with an ounce of knowledge in networks will probably say I'm at least right (or half right cause /. loves to argue lol).

Backblaze has done their study in their datacenter. This means they did it in a controlled environment. I'm sorry but I don't have an AC where my computer is... the air is not filtered. my PC is in my basement (as some people put it in a room) where theres 30-40% humidity using normal crappy air i breath like we all do. Some of us (not me) smoke and live in places with lots of humidity or dry air as well. Is this taken into account...nope.

Well this study is to be taken with a grain of salt as lots of variables are missing in their study but it is a good start to know what hard drives last longer under perfect condition

Whats next, kareoke ? oh wait, it is... crap. Well to be fair, I love lyrics website cause I know some singers just don't know how to talk correctly. it's like they have a hot potato in their mouth.

You need the enigma machine to decode when he speaks.

when I read this page, it seems Apple is collecting data and can share it with its partners so don't blame Google and Facebook alone. it's a good idea to point fingers at Google but they're not the only one doing it. You might pay for the device (Samsung or Apple) but the OS is free in both. It's when you start signing up for their service that you agree to share your personal info ...like it or not they will do it.

for example, this is one if the text: "We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Apple’s products, services, and customer communications". Thats how they make their money too. please don't blame only 1 company only with others do the same. it's insulting and pathetic if you ask me.

On my part, i only use personal info if I really have too

Comment Re:We're stuck on IE 6 or 8 here in business land (Score 0) 199

With this info, it seems like they're still people that are using IE. I for one, just simply hate Microsofts way of doing with IE as they seem to think its their laws that shall govern how we use the internet because they seem to use a different mechanic behind their browser but with that many people, i don't think Google should end support for IE9.

But I understand why they do it. I've talked and I know some web devs that just simply hate IE9 because its a pain to work with when they create a webpage. They always have to work with some special code and its always extra work. At the end, their clients pay more if they want IE support on their webpage and their clients know that and are aware
