However in terms of justice it is much too extreme.
Absolutely. Punishment that greatly exceeds the crime is reserved for people that download/copy music or movies or access MIT websites. I mean, let's not get carried away into the absurd.
I wish they would just die with a little grace and accept that they world will be better off without them
Ya, like SCO did - oh, wait...
Birds are very smart. Another reason to be afraid of dinosaurs, I suppose.
As a programmer, I always remember that Velociraptors dislike goto statements.
I was bitten by radioactive yeast in the biology lab, and now have acquired the super-powers of YEASTMAN.
Have fun trying to get laid, Yeastman.
The Timeline:
With all those typewriters why even bother buying tablets!
Even better, as TFA explicitly states and TFS quotes: "old-fashioned typewriters". Perhaps these Sholes and Glidden units from 1873.
[Dear "Journalists", Please kill yourselves now.]
The choice of Eich as CEO seems obvious to some, after a string of recent short-tenured CEOs at Mozilla's helm.
Don't let government employees retire. Problem solved.
... Lets say there are enough specialized teams to treat 1,000 glioblastoma patients per year and they successfully treat 80% of patients. 800 saved hurray! But, for the same price, Watson could develop treatments for 10,000 patients, saving 4,000 of them.
The idea of "saved" in this case is overly optimistic.
From Glioblastoma Multiforme and Glioblastoma:
The median survival time from the time of diagnosis without any treatment is 3 months, but with treatment survival of 1–2 years is common.
For adults with more aggressive glioblastoma, treated with concurrent temozolamide and radiation therapy, median survival is about 14.6 months and two-year survival is 30%. However, a 2009 study reported that almost 10% of patients with glioblastoma may live five years or longer.
My wife died of this in 2006 just 7 weeks after diagnosis Remember Sue....
Though perhaps with Watson many more people could be, at least, helped.
... imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence
Just make them watch C-SPAN all the time.
From TFS and TFA:
The system bathes the driver in infrared light
Yet in both TFA photos, the light is drawn in blue.
If you do an image search for multimeters there aren't many colors left which don't copy one already in existence. I'd suggest Sparkfun try periwinkle.
Or "rainbow", then they'll be fabulous.
Crap, I already have a hard enough time getting non-programmers to understand that Java and JavaScript aren't the same thing.
Javascript is just Java written in cursive - duh.
No. Seriously?
I can see 20-40 tabs. But 150?
GP thinks # open tabs == manliness *or* has IMAX screen for monitor and really tiny font.
Like the one entitled, How to Eat at McDonald’s When You’re Monumentally Broke. Of course, this requires that you have an Internet connection and browser-capable system to read it, while being "monumentally broke"...
