To me it's quite clear that you don't have to wait steel to become liquid for it to lose strength, so the whole argument that the fire could have not melted steel is irrelevant.

It's a bit silly to talk about animal abuse and compare how free they are in the wild, when anyone who spends 5 minutes in the wild knows you are surrounded by suffering and animals fighting to the death for survival. Which reminds me of this: http://youtu.be/3C8FDDs-iQs?t=44s Call it speciesism, but in no way I think the life of other animals are worth more than humans, and if people need to eat to survive, they should eat animals, unless vegetarians actually come up with a solution for world wide hunger, instead of raising their flags with their rich friends who can stuff their faces with as much tufu they want, it will sound like empty rethoric to me.

How was your experience working at Canonical?

Yes, am a Distro Developer, you might want to try mine, am aiming for release at the end of the month.

In the beginning there was social unrest, so Man said: “Let there be god”. And people did rejoice when the wicked became afraid of hell.

Don't use a password manager that keeps the passwords anywhere outside of your own computer, if you manage passwords from a browser plugin that saves the data on a cloud server, that adds quite a few more breaking points in security. And make sure that access to your password manager is password locked too.

Peter Joseph got most of his ideas from the Venus Project, but he has his own organization. These organizations don't really support each other anymore, some 4 years ago Peter tried to steer the Venus Project into his own direction and was cut off. But yes, it is about a Resource Based Economy. This is what you would probably find the most interesting: http://www.thevenusproject.com/extras/tvp-tv Am quite proud of having built that TVP-TV software in a single day.

Ok, I try to learn as much as I can about Pedagogy in my spare time, but so far what I found is that my method of self learning only works for me, and that I'm unable to understand the process in which other people learn. So I also have many ideas for doing educational software, and have done a few, but am still clueless about how to get the average Joe to be an independent learner, do you know how?Some of the education related stuff I've worked on:www.videoneat.comwww.thevenusproject.comwww.tromsite.com

That happens exactly because of what AlesD said above, people go get a degree to learn how to code and end up learning how to be academic, so they quit half way. Advanced math might be useful in the off chance you end up doing compression algorithms and etc... but for every day coding you won't need it, what you will need is a good undestanding of coding logic that can only be reached by practice in code writing.I often see people getting out of CS and going straight to teaching, because they might not have learned how to do the actual code but did learn how to teach + have the degree to get a job in teaching. Much of the banking system still runs on COBOL but for me maintenance is not nearly as satisfying as creating something new. Yes, a very expensive scam, plus if you're good at teaching yourself you can always learn anything theoric from books when and if you need it. You have any ideas for doing this?

I'm a self taught guy so I only really know about what people who did go to college tell me, and to my surprise they always tell me about the huge amount of focus being put into technologies that are no longer relevant, and in teachers who teach how to code with pen and paper or some other impossible to debug technique that has nothing to do with coding. If this is a skill people develop by practice and a natural hability in math/language (genetics). Is there really any point in going to college to learn this?

I for one would have opened my IT business a long time ago if it we didn't have so much governmental bullshit, I'm probably moving to another country in order to start my business. The government is on the way, but I don't see any proposals for dealing with the people who will starve if it's removed. Don't know what you mean there. If Iraq has the resources, why it's not calling the shots?

There is just so much you can do in IT, you can pick something more enjoyable and slowly learn it. I for one have been building Operational Systems instead of doing as many websites, because once you do your 10k hours on a skill, it really starts getting boring.

Hahaha, I tried to upvote that, but clicked downvote by mistake.

I believe breathing should be taxed, failure to comply will mean having your breathing license revoked.

Check the html where it mentions <li class="group_icon"> Right after the blank image tag, you have </br> and </img>, this is not valid html and will break the rendering of the page or specific element. Maybe you know this already, but if you have html tags with no closing tag property, such as <img> or <br> or <hr> and etc... Then you can't add the closing tag to it like that. Valid html: <br/> <hr/> <img src="my-image.jpg" alt="my image needs alt tag too" />

Technology developer I develop free software, free Operational Systems, design digital interfaces, build online communities, science popularization websites, news portals. And also build components/plugins/templates for popular CMS software such as Joomla and Wordpress. Spend a lot of my time learning physics and materials science, so I can build some really cool stuff in the future.

Did anyone here notice the mention of the words: "Mainstream Physics" ? You guys are too mainstream, I only believe in Pre-Newtonian physics, in my garden all the apples fall UP.

I mean programming logic, programming logic is always the same no matter the language you use. Take the 5 hours a day you will spend on College and use it to code, you will learn more in a month than 5 years of college. If you want to start making money doing code, are you seriouslly considering spending 5 years before you start doing it? Why not start now? Everything about building code is frustrating, that is why you need patience/resilience/motivation to begin with. In order to get really good at this you either become cool under fire like Master Yoda or thrown your computer out the window. And sorry to say, but college can't teach you to be patient, only self-knowledge will get you there. Here is some hard earned self-knowledge: If you want to get something done, make a compromise on how many times you agree to fail before giving up. Failing is an integral part of the process, if you can't do something, it's because you have not failed enough times yet. Really want to do something? The number you must agree to fail is this: ∞

If by policy you mean it's an exploitation based colony, yes.

I like that reply. For one thing, there are a lot more resources here than North America/Europe, if you want to know where the resources/values are going, just take a look around your local Chicago. Please don't compare Economics with Physics, I would have better Economic predictions from an Astrology quack than an economist.

It might seen like a good idea to you, to remove food handouts, but that's only because you're not the one who is going to starve. In an ideal world, there would be no government and people would not starve, but we don't live in an ideal world, right?

If you say governments should stop giving food to the starving, with the kind of audience Freedomain radio has, you're advocating a policy that will kill millions of people in Brazil alone.

Here is the point: If you don't understand how the economy works in poor countries, don't advocate policies for it, because if you do it will be harmful to the poor.
