If that's what it takes to get people on-board this generation, I don't mind. But I hope lines like that can be omitted one day. Doesn't it just look incredibly silly?

Maybe he didn't want to omit it. Maybe it's not PR, but instead his actual feelings. Maybe he is religious. So, it's all cool and all that he's gay (which it is), but he mentions God and now you're all "Why can't he just keep that to himself?"

That seems a little hypocritical to me.

Stockman’s sleight of hand was fairly easy to discern. In 1981, electronic spreadsheets were just coming into their own, and the kind of sophisticated modeling Stockman did was still done chiefly on mainframe computers. The output he was working with wasn’t in the now-familiar spreadsheet format; instead, the formulas appeared in one place and the results in another. You could see what you were getting. That cannot be said of electronic spreadsheets, which don’t display the formulas that govern their calculations.

This is the real double-edged sword of spreadsheets. They simultaneously surface data, logic and presentation. This enables a very fluid modelling process because you can see everything that's happening... at first. Eventually these things always become intractable hairballs, dumped on the desk of the office "Spreadsheet Mechanic" for critical repair. Ugh.

Excel's Data Tables, ODBC connectivity and named ranges help with this. It gives you have some assurance that the raw data comes from a Source Of Truth and hasn't been totally borked. Unfortunately, most users (that I have worked with) don't understand how to use these features properly, leading to a multitude of math crimes.

"Thank God it's not raining" is completely different from saying "... the greatest gifts God has given me."

The first is just a frivolous small talk type comment. Non-religious people would say this. It's part of the common US vocabulary. The second is much more serious, and the speaker is actually thanking God for how he is. A non-religious person would never say it.

Religious people do this type of thing all the time in the US. Just look at 1 example- sports. The amount of American pro-athletes who are religious is astounding. Many athletes will seriously thank God after doing something well in a sporting event.

I'm very very anti-theist and I still have a lot of Christians on my Facebook, and some of them are constantly thanking God or praising Jesus for some good thing that happened in their life.

The amount of cars that have religious stickers on them is incredible. Crosses, the Jesus fish, some Biblical reference, a Christian brand, etc- you see them constantly. Maybe it's not like that in the Bay Area, but that is an exception. I live in Germany now and I've counted a total of TWO cars in 2 years that had any kind of Religious sticker.

So, yeah, Christianity is everywhere in the US. I pray for the day that this is not true.

I actually think he makes a reasonable point, if you read his last sentence carefully.

Realistically, it doesn't make much sense to be "proud" of being gay, just like it doesn't make sense to be "proud" of being white.

It makes sense to be proud for staying strong in the face of discrimination and hate speech, but being gay itself is not worthy of any pride.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your ignorance of religion and monotheism is astounding. Reading your comments it is very apparent that you take any mention of a belief in God to mean a follower of the American branch of reformist protestant Christianity with biblical literalism.

That is a very broad brush, as the fundamentalists literalists are a tiny part of Christianity and of broader monotheism. They make up about a quarter of American Christians, which is a much higher proportion than any other country in the world.

A lot of people associate that branch of Christianity with all monotheism simply because they tend to be noisy and dominate political issues. You'll rarely find that view outside of the USA, and of the overall global monotheist population the literalists are a tiny percentage.

The biggest critics of the literalists and their views are in fact other Christians. Even the Catholic church, which itself is a conservative branch of Christianity - accepts evolution, the age of the universe and other dominant issues associated with fundamentalist Christians in the USA such as the rights of homosexuals.

To associate all Christians or monotheists as meaning fundamentalist is no different to the bigots and wackos who believe that all Muslims are Salafist jihadi. Tim mentioned nothing more than a belief in God, it is a huge and unsubstantiated leap to conclude from his single word that he is a fundamentalist literalist.

There would be a lot more tolerance in this world if people who hated at least understood what it was they were hating. I see your views as being as ignorant and fundamentalist as the very views you disagree with.
The Wacko in the Morning Show 10/30 by the Wacko Network
I agree but there are different ways of going about it. In the particular case I know of, a police officer infiltrated all left leaning student organisations in order to get access to the more radical ones. By infiltrated I mean that he went to their meetings, was invited to parties and reported all their personal information. In any case, I just wanted to defuse the argument that the government is probably not that interested in your data. Its far easier to turn devices such as this against you, I mentioned the case where they recorded the phone numbers of every mobile device at a largely peaceful demonstration. Since there is no reason to ever delete this data, you not only have to trust that the current government is benevolent and reasonable, but also that this form of government is stable, does not crumble and you don't end up on a kill list 20 years later. This might not be an issue in the West, but there are countless cases around the world, where based on much less information political activists / dissidents were murdered.

Since you claim to have a lot of info on this can you give any, even one, real world example of you just said happening?

Otherwise I am going to call BS on it.

Perhaps you're starting something that is going to take down NewEgg.com ? You're clearly missing the forest for trees here. At work we run a large mix of Windows Servers, SQL servers, Linux, Drupal, MySQL, Moodle etc. running fairly traffic heavy and top ranking public health sites and all said our licensing and hosting costs are about 2% of our annual budget.

By who, Apple fanboys? Your average person probably doesn't even know who is Apple's current CEO let alone that he's gay.
I don't think that is correct. There are thousands of startups on AWS (an IAAS cloud) that don't run 10K node clusters. While they cost may be high, it is pay as you go. I have a rack full of computers at home and I still have some things served by AWS. The PAAS model (e.g. Heroku, Bluemix) is becoming popular today but those are often hosted in IAAS clouds.
As an Angular user these changes concern me greatly. Not just the scope of the changes (which is huge) but the timeframe as well.

What really worries me is that with version 2 still some time away the scale of the changes will frighten people from using Angular until they see where the dust settles. The problem with that is you can't just put work on hold until the next version is released and so by the time Angular 2.0 comes out, no matter how good it is, it could be a lame duck since most developers have switched to Ember or React or what ever the next cool framework turns out to be.
What does that have to do with being American? Do you realize the majority of the world's population believes in $deity?

If you are using Excel, you should use Average and Stdev to get the parameters and Normdist to draw it. For example, you can read http://excelgraphs.blogspot.com/2013/03/historgrams-and-over... (I don't like how they make the final graphs, but the article explain how to use the functions.) (Be careful, because it's easy to use the wrong x axis, and draw the Gaussian curve shifted 1/2 histogram bar.)

If you like to understand the calculations and use less magical function, you can read http://www.phys.utk.edu/labs/plstatan.pdf . (If you want to read directly the code, go to page 5 to skip the theoretical background.)
Props for speaking up like this. My sister is gay and I know what she's been going through. I still hold out hope that mankind will see the day where things like that won't matter any more.
Is Thumbtack a good source of leads for Web Designers?
The last two Disney movies I watched (Frozen and Maleficent) both were resolved not by romantic love of a man and woman, but with the the love between two women. I am NOT saying Ana and Elsa were lesbians, but that Disney seems to be moving away from the prince/princess formula - that the ultimate feat of existence is getting married to someone of the opposite gender. If this is a "homosexual agenda" or not, I say good riddance. That crap is life poison to impressionable young girls.

I recently read an article in English talking about homophobia being widespread in Russia "despite the Russians having lived through the progressive social experiment of communism".

Calling it a "progressive social experiment" gives it far more forgiveness than it deserves in my opinion...

From which I conclude that it's easy to forgive when we basically like the idea/movement/etc., and easy to see undeserved forgiveness when we basically dislike it.

What the pope said last week isn't a new position - the Catholic church and evolution have never been in conflict. There was no position for a long time while Catholic scientists worked on evolution, but it was formally accepted in 1950, which in terms of the Catholic church moving on an issue is pretty quick.
Bigotry is a wrong word to use (afaik) in a historical context. It simply means 'what we consider unacceptable by today's social norms'.

He's saying he hopes one day it's not a culturally jarring thing to say "I'm gay and I'm religious." That should just be normal and accepted.
This is a very disappointing project. I would imagine the IT people who worked at Morrisons were rolling their eyes as the consultants came in and delivered a way over engineered / overly complex system.

The problems outlined in the article were solved with simpler methods 10 to 15 years ago. Why use a tablet at all? Symbol Technologies was making wireless handheld computers with scan guns 15 years ago.

In a modern supermarket inventory is updated every time an item is scanned at checkout. Spot checks of inventory are constantly being done to check for discrepancies.

Whoever payed for this project I'm sure had a lot of nice meetings with the contractors. But in the end they got an overly complex system when off the shelf components in use for years would have done the job better and more reliably.

> They should just come out and say Jesus never existed as well

Most historians are of the opinion that Jesus DID exist (though, obviously not that he was the son of God).
In this context, when someone says they are "proud to be gay", I think they are strongly inferring the "staying strong in the face of discrimination" aspect since, unfortunately, that's pretty much a given. Also, historically, people have thought being gay is something to be 'ashamed' of, and I think this use of 'proud' is in contrast to that - cf. gay pride marches. No one ever thought being white was something to be ashamed of.

OK, maybe I mis-read your original comment. It came across as being very anti-UK:

"That's one of the greatest shame of UK,it symbolizes bigotery in its purest form."

but I accept I might have read stronger sentiment into that than was intended.
Yeah, good call. I was trying to find a configuration that was fairly close to see if it was roughly in the same range. Seems like it is so if you were comparing the two, you could spend about the same amount of money and either get a nicer storage option and Apple materials or a larger screen with touch, touch pad, and all of the projector/camera stuff.

My main interest was whether this was drastically more or less expensive than the most popular all-in-one PCs out there even if you don't care about using the unique Sprout stuff all the time.
> I'm experiencing existence

Right, but I don't think this is as unrecognized as you think. Entire systems of ethics are built on the assumption that since I'm experiencing existence, and you are roughly the same as me, you're probably experiencing existence too.

Some systems expand on this and stretch or restrict the definition of "same" from "skin color" to "has a central nervous system" and other notions.

The longer I'm around, the more I start to think that this experience can be really different. Quite a bit of research is going into some fragments of this topic, we call it "intelligence". And we come back surprised whenever we find out that something which we didn't think of as "the same as us", like an octopus, can have it's own "experience of existing".

More recently there's a growing body of work that's starting to show that things even less similar to us might have an experience in their own way. We're finding out plants, for example, have all kinds of interesting and subtle ways of responding to the universe. People are afraid to call this "intelligence", but there's definitely something there.

It may be more that "life", of any kind, can be considered under this notion of experience, and not just self-similar things.

Awesome, thank you for going the extra mile and reaching out to T-Mobile! I hope they really do fix it. =)
I guess it depends on how you look at it. He's a "son of the South" and a self-described religious man, so this makes sense.

But this also makes sense from a PR perspective because according to American political polls being an atheist is "worse" than being black, gay, a women, etc. It's apparently largely unforgivable to be godless.

So, some may be surprised to learn he's gay, but then take some solace in the fact that he still praises the same god they do. In a way this is the perfect way to assuage the exact audience this revelation might offend because, you know, God loves all his children.

This really won't be a big deal. Some extreme groups will make some noise, but that's about it. I was in the Marine Corps when they repealed Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Everyone thought it'd be a big deal. They repealed it...nobody cared.
Same here.

I still think it's an interesting concept, however. If they want it to gain traction, they should sell it as a peripheral.

GlobalSign Organization SSL - Wildcard ($949)

I found ssl2buy.com that offers globalsign wildcard ssl at a reduced price. I communicated with the salesperson for any price gimmick or cause of cut price. I got a quick response from the support team and they clear that ssl2buy is authorized reseller and they have reduced their profit margin, there is no price gimmick.

Does anyone have experience with them? Can you suggest other globalsign resellers that offer cheapest price wildcard ssl?
