Some would argue even democracy could not accommodate such things.

One of the actual hackers who occasionally reads stuff from here in his RSS feed. Generally hated by self styled "entrepreneurs". Probably because I am too busy being awesome to swoon over their pedantic musings.
If they leave it at our gates, we probably shouldn't bring it inside... there could be more than meets the eye.
I'd down mod myself if I could.
On the negative side, the potential use of an engine as advanced as this in the world of 3D porn will almost certainly result in more furry sex.
If not for the liberal use of cameras the world would never have heard of Neda in Iran. The US is effectively on a path to making it illegal to spread truth... maybe it is just a small sliver of truth. But I would rather be judged on that small sliver of truth than end up in a situation where it is my word against a police officer.
It's an interesting question though.
The cops in all these cases should be charged with treason.
This is awesome, I'd love to see it done with mario mushrooms =P Progressive mushroom abuse leads to one long never ending trip...
Today it's netflix. Tomorrow they will throw off the yolk of British imperialism and embrace the inalienable rights to freedom that we've longed to share with them.
flickr. that's about it.
It's a spring chicken compared to Enlightenment.
Kill your television.
NASA's commitment to open source is fairly great. And, postgresql is a really great database. If you haven't used it before, I highly recommend giving it a run.
Why can't they just let us us a gcc toolchain and be done with it.
Neat. Similar idea but definitely different.
vi vs emacs war plz 2 not have.
It looks like a user could reset an environment variable, resulting in convincing the PAM module ( running as root ) to write a file somewhere the user should not be able to write. I assume since this could allow root access, it can overwrite something that can be executed as root by another process.
I read "The Search for God and Guinness", fun read even if you aren't religious ( I am not ):

Just saw this, I haven't given it a listen yer, but I do intend to. Looks fun:

Also Guinness makes their employment archives available to descendents of past workers, which is pretty neat:
I agree.
ROFL this finally hit the news? I remember grilling the guy who invented her about her trying to friend me on facebutt. She's awesome.
Pancakes...
The only thing I dislike about the beagle board is that the generation 1 had a faulty USB interface. Also the Serial Connection is a 9 pin. I'd rather they just let me use a standard ft cable.
=/ Arm units are definitely cool. Look at the maple leaf, and other Arm 3 based units. Very very cheap stuff. Very very powerful.
Arm is definitely seizing control of the embedded device market, and linux with it.
It will be difficult to make inroads against HP Server Automation, but I am sure people would love to see you succeed.
That being said, this is very much a solution services business. You will need more than core talent. A lot more.
Wow, that's a horrifically one sided and incorrect view. Only held btw in the US, and by people who are not familiar with the actual history. Ford, like GM and IBM invests considerable effort in hiding their roles in that war.
Ford however, was one of the few who "took sides". They didn't just support the Nazis for economic reasons ( which is pretty damned horrific ), they actually hindered allied production purposefully.
Also, he got lucky. He built one of the first car companies and he did a good job at first. End result is he ended up being one of the big 3. Every industry has em. He was in the right place at the right time. From then on he had a large enough enterprise that it could run itself, all he had to do was sit back and not get too involved. Which he couldn't do. He nearly bankrupted the company and embarked on a bunch of inglorious economic escapades resulting in him being kicked out of the Ford.
I mean... jesus, who the hell taught you people history? How can you possibly look up to this guy FOR ANYTHING. He was a bull headed arrogant deceitful bastard who tried very hard to quite literally destroy his own country and his people.
I gotta godwin this, I just can't resist it. Sorry.
"I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration" - Adolf Hitler Ref: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/daily/nov98/na...
It's a hash. Not in any of my rainbow tables though =/
Also, look at the business policies and employment benefits first introduced by the Guinness brewery when they were founded. If you want to see how to establish a universally unbeatable brand identity they have a how to guide for the ages.
Sure, but Fordlandia, his inability to read, and his belief in such absurdity as "The protocols of the elders of zion" speak volumes as to the man's mental state. Which at best is mildly insane.
Uhm, Henry Ford was known for violently suppressing unions in his factories. He considered unions to be closely tied to "Jewish Zionist" ambitions. He was also a heavy monetary supporter of Adolf Hitler. In fact, he refused to give back awards he received from the Third Reicht, and was in fact buried with them. Oh, and he was illiterate.
So word of advice... don't take advice from Henry Ford.
Honestly, prince is pretty much cooler than anyone on the internets. I think we would do well to heed his advice.
I've seen worse offices, and better offices, but yes... offices are soul crushing prisons the likes of which would haunt your very dreams.
Dude is nuttier than a baby ruth. He even somehow managed to pull the "zionists" card.
