Its that way in all the niches, which makes it a set of all niches ==> mainstream thing.

Debuggers sometimes simply write wrong values into those nice gui-windows- do not update the values they show, or just dont inform the reader that the value ceased to exist- at all.

It seems Diamond Age is not so far away by now. Emerging are the phyles, tribes of ideas, some social democratic, some autocratic. Welcome to europe candaduu.

Also, you can loose your nation and citizenship, if you turn to other ideas. Become a communist and you become a north korean or venezuelian, become a djihadi and you are a ISIL or Saudi Arabia citizen. Be a bleeding heart bug liberal- and you are a Californian or Israeli. Maybe this is where we are going.

It would be interesting to see, the inter-phyle interaction. Today, the amish phyle and the californian phyle came to a trading aggreement, where upon the Californian phyle would protect the Amish phyle in return for a scholarship on californian schools for the brightest of the amish decendants.

I misread, and for a moment expected Giant Ships, transporting energy via pumped empty baphyspheres from offshore solarfarms.

The same that capitalists think. Those mongrel are so much better of due to my hard work. They have food, shelter and something to do with there lives. Else they would vandalize on the street.

What if a slaveholder is a slave? Can dependancy hell apply to a owned person?

Remembering XP and Windows 7 i challenge that. Also for whom productive. At what time of measurement. If you deprecate a product and compare against that.

Playing the substates in a competition against one another, preventing a social system - the companys.
Completely agree.. there is no way those crazy aero-nauts can in any way replace the ship industry.
Is a addict really that much worser off? At the end, all that remains of life, is sugar encoded eletricity in a jelly-fish on a walking sausage. They dont make copies of themselves though.

My grandfather had a collague, who build a fast-breeder reactor in germany. Then the political climate changed and the reactor- brand new was deconstructed, and the whole thing reverted to a grass-farmland.

Noting but memorys to show for it.

Just put into the faces video some random looping guy GIF. And you can kick the usual horny teenager. You can not have a video at all, and not use a microphone- just chatting. The internet is asexual by nature which is great. Your argument is invalid, there is no problem there, except for one group demanding social controll over all others.
PLC Programming is years behind when it comes to software engineering, developing, testing and speed of deployment.

A system that would allow for Change related Issue-tracking on the CAD-files of the controlled machine. A language that would enforce component-class interfaces, thus preventing information duplication. A proofer that validates the resulting DEAs for correctness.

Geo-strategic irony: Because everyone has a secret nuke lying around, nobody engages in conflicts any more- thus the usual social tension valve beeing unused, leading to civil wars instead of the conventional wars.

TL,DR; Iran vs SaudiArabia turns with nukes into, Iran <-> Iran and SaudiArabia vs SaudiArabia.

Short term gain is long term pain.

I remember the long faces, when i took my programming class through the introduction of floating points to the windows calculator- and they realized that this thing makes mistakes- (x/(9^64))*(9^64) != x

And then the dawning realization, what fights the future would hold for them...

May i point out, that this is a excellent moment to completely and utterly trust the holy st. market to fix itself. After all its a state controlled market economy, attacking a free market economy, it can not win. Be strong in your faith in the market brother. Your doubts times of tests of prevents salvation.

It is as long as the state/ IPs do not have identity on every connection. It can even then be subverted, if somebody lets another user piggyback on that connection.
Re:The Real War on Science on Wednesday November 23, 2016 @06:32AM (#13021792)
The question is how can academia be cleansed of the biases? Secession of the scientific faculties from the unscientific? I think its not possible to make a "safe space" without politics and publics for research. So the only way to archieve a equality is to have funding be totally independent from political "standing". It must be voted in by anonmyous Scientists, based upon the quality of cross-faculty-peer-reviewed process that generated it. I wonder how much this censor-ship has damaged the left cause actually. Imagine if a ethnic group of equal intelligence (I firmly believe that any group can bring forth high intelligence- or if it could not should be enabled too for mankinds benefits) inherited a stress activated gene that allowed for a prolonged "zombie" mode upon crisis and conflict. To not search a cure for that gene, would be a unbearable crime.

The problematic part comes, when the research on this would be only represented as a "fact" of gods design and not a call to action aka a research for a remedy.

TL,DR; Anybody screaming for In-Action, is on the wrong side in science. Explore all the allys!

You can replace work thoughts with work on your sideproject thoughts. That helps... a little bit
