Says AC so inept that he cannot begin a sentence with a capitalized word, actually spell "dark matter" or end his sentence with a period.
Not to mention it's a bloody AC who has indicated no level of expertise in physics or cosmology.
Actually what I find most awful about CSI shows is the notion that police investigations are akin to unbeatable magical formulas. If investigators zero in on a suspect, almost inevitably that suspect is guilty, and found to be so by incredible technologies used by beautiful people in sci-fi like laboratories. Even in slightly more realistic portrayals of criminal investigations, like the original Law And Order, seldom is the accused actually innocent, but rather he or she manages to elude justice through some combination of sloppy police work and prosecutorial errors.
But even worse than all those cop and CSI dramas to my mind are the police investigation news magazines like 48 hours, where the police zero in on a suspect, arrest him, and the prosecutors successfully see the accused right through conviction. They usually pay lip service to the notion of the presumption of innocence by allowing the inevitably evil convict to assert "I'm innocent!", though with a weary and bemused postscript by the narrator indicating that justice was done, the cops always get their man, and the DA is godlike in his or her ability to convince a jury of guilt.
I think you're confusing the actors and directors with the studios. Those groups have very often been very liberal, but the studio heads care only about money, and they will cozy up with anyone they think has it, and attack anyone who dares threaten it. If real fascists took over the United States tomorrow, Hollywood would quite happily begin producing films supporting that ideology. Essentially, the heads of the big studios are soulless accountants and lawyers.
If quality was the primary determinant in operating system choice, we'd be running OS/2 version 9 right now. Sometimes OSs have momentum, and vxWorks has a helluva lot of developers.
I'm not bashing QNX, but the fact is that the Blackberry faithful seem to have some sort of idea that QNX is some sort of dominant RTOS that dwarfs all others. It feeds into their bizarre religious need to have everyone believe that BB is going to make a comeback any day now.
By now you must know the denizens of
And yet, generous souls that they are, they still have time to complain about Ruby on Rails. We truly live in an age of giants!
Huh? I'd say THE choice for realtime embedded operating systems is probably vxWorks.
Look up "proxy", you simpering halfwits.
Not as bizzaro as Bizarro Stormy, mind you.
Indeed. When someone manages to get something like this past, say, Computational Linguistics, then we'll have something newsworthy. This is akin to announcing "House without door has lock picked!"
Back in the real world, we call people who cherry pick time ranges to get the answer they want liars.
Deal with the science, and quit repeating the lies of others. They are dishonest, you are merely a fucking retard.
And a few paid shills like Frank Spencer. Not that he has ever actually published these apparently devastating critiques of AGW in any peer reviewed journal.
Yup, that's where I'm going. Building a database server and it's going on FreeBSD. I was a loyal Debian user up until this fiasco.
The only difference in opinion appears to be over the effectiveness of these "interrogation techniques" (boy, there's a euphemism Torquemada could have used).
He burned it in real good...
Exchange always was a bloated monster, but it's quite ridiculous now. Our Exchange 2010 install which I did last year will be our last one.
