By different you mean you can finish a line without a semicolon. Ad a few reserved words are swapped around. However they need the same class structures and the.NET framework is the same.
Star Trek, Star Wars... These were shows/movies made decades ago. Great for there time, but outdated now. Even reboots and new episodes featuring the next generation, brings in the money playing off of our Nostolga. They have to do so much work to explain why the cannon is changing because having the old shows showing things with limited effects and a different view on the progression of technology. Just clutters a good movie or show if just given a new universe.
I want to know what is nice. In short if people don't like you, no matter how good the technology they won't use it. They will accept the idea of inferior technology in order to get better support or at least not feel belittled. Technology suppose to help, if dealing with the expert makes you feel bad then it won't help.
However there is being nice and then there is being a pushover or a yes man. There are ways you can correct people and insure that they are not going to get screwed over.
How many good developers had Linus pushed away because he was a jerk to them. You can disagree with them, and get your way. But the idea if you disagree with one method then all their methods is just being conceded. As if he was just a little nicer, the next contrabution may have been superior.
There are also cool spots on Russia, and China who are also fairly good at denying climate change.
Unfortunately I think this fact makes it much harder to push for climate bills, because it is difficult to explain Global Climate change, when you particular group isn't being affected in that way.
It is like trying to get the US to fight against famine in Africa. We know about it, however because it isn't a common experience we do not feel motivated to do anything about it.
How many professional SysAdmins and enterprise users are regularly tinkering with their init settings? It is usually a set it and forget it type of thing.
As I see it, this is just general IT Ranting because something is new.
To make a point. You had seriously injured yourself and still you were able to take care of yourself long enough to get back. We have gotten overly cautious with our children, and to make it worse, the legal system has bought into the hype as well.
For the most part we really do want big powerful cars. See more, better suited to handle different driving conditions. However gas price, auto price and environmental consciousness tells us to get a small car. For many the trade off for a small car even for low gas prices is worth it. For others it isn't.
The political chearing really is harmful. Many of the climate deniers are not in bed with big oil, but just don't like those liberal hippies. So the more they say they are right the more they will say they are wrong. And a lot of talk about a balanced energy policy has gone down the toilet towards far end winner take all options.
Don't you know. If you like something new you are just a blind follower. If you hate something then you must be smart enough to hate it. Because if you have such a strong opinion about something it must mean you have a damn good reason to.
Religions are a group of people with a similar (but perhaps not identical) agenda as you. Each religion/sect may be working off a particular translation. Avoiding them because they misaligned with yours means you are closing your mind off to alternative ideas. Religions had people thinking nearly about issues that are common to the human condition for thousands of year. Most of us, can only think about these things in part time. So going to church to listen to these ideas are enlightening.
Now you don't need to agree with them, but to say I avoid these places because these people think differently than you, is really stupid. You should skip school as well, especially if you don't like your teacher.
The is an infinite number that can be collected over an infinite amount of years... However at any particular point of time there is only a limited number available to be used. The the number cannot be dramatically increase or decrease with a sign of a pen.
The problem with these laws is the idea that THEIR Organization is the good guys they figure they will not misuse the information... However they forgot that their organization is full of people and every person has a slightly different agenda in life. So the gray area between good guy and bad guy will be at different spots. For some vegans they equate dairy as rape, so they will see they guy who wants a real cheese pizza as some sort of monster who must be stopped.
I think Radio Shack lots its way. It use to be a paradise for what we now call Makers. Except for the bulk of the stuff being cell phones. There were a lot of things that we could use to make and repair our electronics. Wires, Solder, cables. connectors, converters, even a decent set of integrated circuits. When I got my hands on a dumb terminal, Radioshack was the place to go for a null modem adapter, so I can hook it up to my PC. Or to get resisters, breadboard and a capacitor and a parallel connector to make a Parallel 8 bit D2A converter which you can hook up to your PC and have quality sound (better then the beeps of the 2 bit PC speaker)
The problem with free speech is a lot of people do not assign value to their speech.
Now free speech means you can say something negative about someones mother, and blocking this would be harmful, because such a negative comment is meant to prove a point, say they have a life style which is harmful and you feel obliged to point it out.
However the same words used in a different context meant only to hurt is very different. So you insult someones mother only to enrage the person, is in general using your words as violence. So if you get physically hit back, you really can't go free speech, as you in generally just egged the person on to get angry at you.
If you use curse words far more rarely, than when you use them they have a much stronger impact. Speech is very valuable, the fact that we are restricted from the government for using it. It doesn't mean you have no consequences from it. If you abuse it then you may get additional consequences.
With the issues with the French Comic. As with a lot of satire, they are meant to get you angry first then think later. There is usually more to the meaning then just a blanket insult. But knowing such a topic does enrange some people knowing that consequences from getting someone enraged is often much higher than just getting them angry.
However is slashdot is any indication. It may be hard to find bias jury of peers on technical topics. The amount of passion I have seen about topic like Text Editors, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Data interchange formats... It may be hard to pick a jury of people who knows about this stuff, however is able to make an unbiased opinion from the facts.
Lets say we were jury for a hacking case. Bias one: Many people feel that hackers are justified because it was the victim's fault for not having superior security. Bias two: Reasonable doubt could be expanded to near unreasonable doubt. (Sure the guy lives in a remote area , but the Mac Address with the IP address seemed to match the guy, and no malware was found on the guys computer. But those can be spoofed. ) Bias three: The idea if he was caught then he must be a N00B
These things happen when we know too much, and while we hear the evidence we will find justifications to match our personal feelings on the topic.
Even if it is linked to Gold. Unless you are using it for its physical properties, the fact that it is valuable is because of scarcity. So we attach an artificial value based on our human needs to want what is scarce.
Currency in general is just common agreement to scale work for goods and services. Because we live in a world where we cannot get everything we want. Bit Coins are actually more real then the US Dollar. Sure we get a paper or coin note stating that this represents so much. But at least bit coin is connected to something in limited supply thus needs to be shared.
If you buy the top of the line model for around 2k you get about 6 years out of it, so that is $300 per year. If you buy a starting PC for $400 you will get about 2 years out of it $200 per year.
Now if these barbone PCs will be able to operate modern OS and websites without being unbearable for over a year we are still making out.
Part of the problem, is the auto dealers is one of the few middle-class wage jobs out there, that people with limited education can get in and earn a good life style.
However I do not like the idea that companies are forced to have dealers. With some competition will force dealers to value add in their service not just resell cars.
That was during the Mega/Gigahertz war, during the Golden Age of the Desktop.
Power Usage wasn't an issue. Heating wasn't much of an issue as you can fit big honking liquid cooled heat sinks to your CPUs. We had these big upgradable towers which gave us room to fill with stuff.
So we had hotter CPU's because we wanted the faster clock speed.
What happened? Well first 3ghz kinda became the max you can go, and we moved to more parallel systems. (Multi-Core CPU's, and GPU), and we wanted more portable devices. Laptops became far more popular then smartphone and tablets. So power usages, size, and heat became a bigger issue.
In general I would be happier with a split model. The municipal governments will pay for the network infrastructure, those fiber lines, wide area wireless, in general the big stuff that needs to go to the last mile. just like they pay to keep our roads operational, and will go to our homes, where they will plow, and maintain it to a particular quality level. However with that municipal government infrastructure. We should be able to choose ISP who will offer the internet services, who can offer us different pricing for faster and slower speeds for less money. I really liked the model of the Old Dialup ISP Days. Where you can find a small local ISP for personal service, or choose the big company with some extra features. Or if you are more enterprising you can create your own ISP without needing millions of dollars to startup.
The problem that happened when we moved off of Dial Up to broadband, was we needed to go with an ISP who also can manage the infrastructure.
I knew Programming better then some of the Computer Science Professors. Teaching isn't always about passing knowledge. It is about developing skills. So if you get a kid who knows more about computers then you do that is fine and good. That means you should start teaching skills. Such as using the computer to solve problems, or have them research better methods, give them problems that will make them think. Have them improve their form...
I am not a teacher I work in industry. However I do mentor new employees and get them up to speed. My favorite group I like to mentor are recent college grads, they will often come equipped with skills that are a bit more modern than what I do. They will often show me a lot of cool new things that you can do now that I didn't have the opportunity to play with at the time. However taking these people, it isn't about me teaching them how I do it the old fogey way. But having them think in terms of dealing with technology for real life usage, and not the often idealized academic approach.
I get conversations like this. Why are using a Dictionary variable, and not a structured class? The spec makes it clear that these are the only variables that you need? My answer is because I know they are going to ask me to have a new variable in this structure and I am better off in having these configurable then hard coded. Their followup question is "what will the new variable be?" I don't know but I sure as heck don't want hard coded ALT1, ALT2, ALT3 variable names which will add to confusion once you start using them. With the dictionary, I can just alter my Table structure without having to change code.
Experience lets me know when the academic way works and when it doesn't

Are their serious OpenSource CAD Programs for Linux?
If they are not Open Source then you shouldn't worry about having a fully open source laptop.
Not to mention there isn't a modern VB
But VB.net which in generally is C# with a language wrapper. So VB.net is more c based then Python.

EGA and VGA didn't have much in terms of drivers.
ATA made the EGA card. But when you ran the game it will ask you for.

I think it is a bit more than just building tools. But also a method for communicating coordinated hunting.
We should look at one syllable or easy to pronounce words that are common across multiple languages.
We get a lot of nouns, and basic verbs. These can be used for creating tools, But also for pack hunting.
