They can call it a religion all they want, but that don't make it so! Their version is really a perversion of religion, twisting things to try to justify their insanity.
So much the same as pretty much every other religion then?
Not much of a bomb, then.
No, probably wouldn't kill more than 2-3 million outright and another 4-5 million over the next decade. Barely worth having really.
It's a nuclear fucking weapon parked next to a city of 9 million people. I'd say that's all the fucking bomb you need.
Even at 1:2, you really have a camera with a 6cm wide sensor?
Actually, no, ignore that question. They could easily have use medium format film cameras with a macro lens (can you get medium format macro lenses? surely?) then just scanned it in.
Personally I suspect they just photoshopped the fucker though, but I'm biased.
...it's at least clear that he has no geek background and simply caught on a good business idea.
He's a physicist.
there's a difference when a private company does it and the government does it.
Dude, step back and understand the conversation.
We are talking about the TECHNOLOGY, not the user.
I do not consent.
Unfortunately, many of the sheep in this country (and elsewhere, particularly Australia and the British Empire) simply don't care.
You are overruled. Move along...
And now it's there when you Skype with your girlfriend (hah).
Not a far-fetched idea, what with the close ties between tech titans and the Three Letter Agencies. Indeed, these folks probably would not even need cooperation to "scrape" images from Skype and similar applications.
Vegas casinos were doing this years ago...
That's wouldn't be "looking for people with liberal arts degrees", that's "looking for people with demonstrable technical experience" and finding that they just happen to have a liberal arts degree.
Yep.
As an analogy I'd point to pedigree and breed in a dog show. Your FORMAL education also has a breed (your major/minor) and a pedigree (which schools you attended).
But when it comes to hiring, I'd be looking for the "big dogs". And while breed and pedigree can be a factor (Chihuahua compared to Sheep Dog) I won't exclude the mutts.
If you have the drive and dedication to complete a formal major in one field while spending your free time becoming competitive in a different field then you are someone I should be interviewing.
While I'd tend toward Computer Science (since that is what my degree is in) I'd FIRST want to see what they've done already.
Is there anything the Lit major can show that demonstrates his programming skills? Like patches submitted to a FLOSS project? Or a mobile app? Or even a personal website?
It's not that you cannot get a programming job with a Lit degree. It is that the other candidates will probably have more DEMONSTRATED skills in the programming field.
Show me that you CAN program (sufficient to the basic requirements of the project) AND that your Lit degree gives you a different perspective AND how you implement that perspective.
Well, actually it's the Supreme Judicial Court, or SJC.
Stephen Hawking can only communicate at about 1 word per minute. Using morse code may be slow compared to speaking, but it still could represent a pretty substantial improvement for some people.
I'm not sure whether to be appalled, impressed, distressed or just take part.
I'll settle for joining you: what the fuck...
