Yes, that's why oil companies keep looking for oil deeper in the sea. After they deplete those reserves, there should be something we can use. Fusion would be OK.
You are right about stoning. Capital punishment is unethical, and should not be tolerated anywhere.
The same about torture, governments should not torture their prisoners.
Censorship is always a bad thing.
But the problem here is that the ones who want to overthrow Irans government suffer from the same issues. How are they going to be able to help? By example?
great! thanks!
Where did you get that? link please?
Back in the day, you would not believe a slashdotter could shower weekly.
There are two strategies for that.
One of them is yours, fix what is wrong.
Mine is to just avoid sites that are impolite to me.
Now I will just avoid all
You don't seem to understand the concept of motivation.
Anyhow, you make a somewhat interesting point. But keep in mind that pilots can also be hacked. After all, an automatic drone does not have a grandma the "bad guys" can kidnap.
Such fine trolling does deserve an answer.
1 - Slashdot on copyright infringement: Copying isn't theft. People should be free to share stuff.
2 - Slashdot on GPL infringement: GPL infringement is a bad thing, it deprives people of the right to share stuff.
There is, here in
Copyleft licenses are built on the same idea, to fix the problems [that their authors believe] copyright causes on the spread of knowledge.
More censorship and surveillance in the US might force the "free" internet out of US control.
That is not necessarily a bad thing for people outside the US.
Yesterday I was explaining to a coworker how DNS censorship in the US was not such a bad thing, but it might result in better DNS for everybody, by bringing attention to the risks of US centric infrastructure.
That's a dumb comparison.
Dreamweaver is a lot of tools into one.
Most HTML people I know use it as a nice text editor.
I have also seen fresh from school designers use it as a WYSIWYG editor, with awful results.
I don't mean that it's impossible to use Dreamweaver effectively as a WYSIWYG editor, only that it's not its main strenght in practice.
That 's why so many people say that you can replace it by a text editor, because so many pros use it as a text editor.
In other news, UTF-8 has not gained acceptance in US-centric websites.
It's not that hard: "La niña", "El niño"
What baffles me the most is that "the music industry" is a supranational entity.
It's not "the US music industry association", or "the Irish music industry cartel", or something like that.
There is a supranational entity, named "the music industry", and it is both big and concrete enough to sue a country that doesn't play for 'its' interests.
That is a lost battle, that there is a cartel that, in our heads, represents the whole "music industry" of the world, and speaks for all the people related to music.
What they do with that power is also important, of course, but the fact that they detent it is an issue itself.
Most hate towards PHP comes from elitist snobs who don't know how to use the language. PHP is perfectly fine language to use, and it is extremely powerful and flexible. If you are going to develop for web, I suggest using some framework, as it makes the process much more straightforward, faster and better. I personally use CodeIgniter, which is fast and has a good library of helpers and other essential framework stuff. CakePHP is often suggested for persons new to frameworks, but I would stay away from it. It's slower and it's more pain in the ass to learn.
That's right. Most people who hate PHP don't know enough of it. That's why I hate it. I could never learn how a well built application should look like in PHP.
That's why _I_ wouldn't buy anything made in PHP, it's too hard to tell good from bad, for non experts.
If you are an expert in PHP , it's OK to use it, I wouldn't pay you to do it, because it's too hard to tell if you are really an expert, and it's too hard to get another expert if you change projects.
Without the cow, there would be no beef to sell, thus the cattle is just as important as the consumers. Thus they are BOTH customers.
