We already have a bunch of moderately unsuccessful movies based on the philosophical underpinnings of the original work.
Having an actual decent, successful movie for once is a welcome change, canon be damned.
Then what do you suggest be cut? English? Reading? Math? Science?
Reading and English can be combined with music, art and history as part of the curriculum. You can read history of music, history of science (I appreciate that you didn't split it into biology, chemistry and physics), even history of math as part of a combined initiative. Part of science can be hands-on stuff like basic chemistry experimentation and electronics.
Not everything needs to be "useful" either, it's better if it's interesting and/or fun. I took Latin and Ancient Greek in school.
It's dividing everything into neat little "subjects" that has started the whole mess in the first place, which was then exacerbated by focusing only on the "valuable" subjects (read: those that are most likely to make you earn more money in life later), in my opinion.
or that a for loop should be processed with >= 0 where possible (or split into a while loop) to reduce computation time.
This is an obfuscating micro-optimization with pitfalls (e.g. unsigned is always >= 0) and should not be a general rule. In many cases the compiler will do any optimization here automatically, and in other cases you need to profile first to make sure this is the bottleneck before obfuscating the code.
That reminds me of how much "fun" it was to access 256kb of video memory through a 64kb window.
I had a huge bible on my desk describing the register calls on all common video hardware of the day, just to get things to work across multiple machines.
Some things *have* improved since then.
It's not about public or private information. Whether you are married or not, how old you are, is public information too, but AFAIK they are NOT allowed to ask you for this information at all in the USA.
I believe companies should indeed not be allowed to look up ANY kind of "public" information about you without your explicit consent (and no, having a facebook profile isn't explicit consent). They should base their decision on the information you provide (or do not provide) to them, and the interview process.
Also happens: having that checkbox option just slightly off the bottom of the page so you won't see it unless you scroll.
Of course, the "accept" button IS visible already on the page.

What about second breakfast though?
"I ain't afraid of no quakes!"
Besides Bloussard in his blog mentioned that the check list of undone/buggy stuff for DNF has/had only 24 objectives left.
23. ?????
24. PROFIT!
"In one magnificent stroke"? I see what you did there..
Because /. is home to a lot of people that use the other reliable Male Contraceptive: Linux.
My standard (Linux) Aspire One doesn't have a 160GB HDD. It has a 16GB SSD.
Still enough.
I run OOo3.0 on my Acer Aspire One, which handles Office 2007 formats well enough to not have to fiddle about with conversions at work.
Duke Nukem 3D was already released. You mean Duke Nukem 4E.
No I was actually serious.

8) ????
7 through 1) Profit!!!
0) 'cause real geeks index starting at 0!
I think C++ templates are a compiler bug.
What are these newfangled "maps" or "associative arrays"? Everything is a list, isn't it?

Troll?? Get a sense of humour, mods, and check the parent posts!
Or global warming.
I mean "human-exarcerbated climate change"

Thanks for that! Sounds a lot better that way too.
It's encrypted with double ROT-13.
If they had a decent firewall all the ports would already have been closed.
The wise man adapts to his surroundings. The fool adapts his surroundings to him. All progress is made by fools.
No, you completely misunderstand.
The rest of the world has opted out of the World Privacy Forum already.

Care to explain how C, the Win32 API and Linux are in any way connected to this article?
