When I entered the CS course (Brasil), along with me came a guy from Africa. He spent a year on it, and then changed to Law school. I guess they don't want to work "underground" as programmers (it's pretty dark where I work) or something like that, they want to be recognized. Even if you come with the "they are poor", it's a public university we're talking about here. And a lot of the funding goes for students who can prove they are poor.
Apart from that, I don't think anyone should be offended by being called "black" or "white". How would it look if I, being white as a candle, wanted to sue someone for calling me white, or even whitey?
If he was not conforming with pollutants emitions laws, maybe the fine would be justified. But having to pay just because you want to use other type of fuel is plain stupid.
Why don't you people living in the US do something? We're tired of reading news about how dumb your government can be.
You, your neighbour and a lot of other people instantly sharing the pics you took with your camera. That's the only bad thing I found about it (at least I didn't find anything related to that on the company's site). But there is always someone who will use it, as happens for all new technologies.
IDEs aren't bad - it's just some of them that make weird things with what you told them to do:P
I'd stick with Eclipse, it simply makes typing the page easier.
Me too. I use HTML+CSS (and javascript if I have to). It's the easiest way to keep the code readable, and maintainable. I can't believe how much useless code is generated by tools like Dreamweaver (the flamers' choice, it seems:P ).
But this doesn't mean that Web 2.0 is only crap, it's just that people focus more on the shiny part of the page, instead of making a good base design for the application.
Here in the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC) they have something like this: it's a language that CS grads learn at the beginning of the course.

Many of the students make games with it (it runs on top of a Java environment). It's quite powerful, with network communication and many important programming concepts.
I've used it, and I made a simple graphic editor with separate R-G-B color picking and stuff:)
i had one number with 6 digits, but i forgot the password and made a new one, but that was years ago.i really miss icq, just moved to msn because of the female public.
and my account still works:D
Except for a few strange things (like the "Image too large for jabber" error message that could say something more and had me Goggleing for clues), I find the Pidgin 2.0 (mine is beta6) much better than the previous in usability. And one thing I've been missing in Linux was a GTalk-like Gmail notifier, which was quite well done by Pidgin. Maybe it's just me, but I liked it.
I think these people "researching" it have too free time in their hands...
(...)This creates a standing wave that "goes thump, thump, thump on(...) Sound more like a kid that's happy for having found out how something works. Well, if that keeps 'em happy, they should go for it ^^
If she had been taught since the beginning about how to use linux, it would be easier. But there are a lot of relatives who know how to open Word and play Solitaire, so they taught her how to use Windows. I know a lot of people who can`t even use a mouse, and it wouldn`t be harder to teach them to use linux (nowadays, at least) than it would be to teach them to use windows. They probably won`t use more than a word processor and web browser, so no need to say anything about recompiling kernels and the such. Culture and tradition aren`t easy to change.
"While we all know from reading the internets that Wal-Mart is irredeemably evil" What is that? Sure, the majority of people don't like Wal-Mart, but why do you feel the need to mention it in an article where Wal-Mart is doing something good?
"we all know from reading the internets", that's why it's evil;)
I've been using CFL for a long time, and they don't take that much time to turn on anymore. Only the regular fluorescent lamps in my kitchen do that (and I agree, it's annoying).

damn, I knew there was a reason for not a single occurrence of this joke in this article...
