You know, a leader of a country that actually gives out cash to the socialists.
I don't get this statement. Socialism means standing up for eachother, and that is exactly what northern countries are doing right now. I am proud to pay for the troubles of Greece, and will be happy to help them to the point where we already stand, to become a great cooperation of european countries, fighting for opportunities and help for everyone, while not completely destroying the planet.
The US's political system has at least been kicking around for more than two centuries. That makes it a well tested democracy compared to what's out there, especially when compared with most governments in Europe.
and you are proud of where it stands? the US government is a laugh. two parties don't make a democracy, and as far as I'm concerned, here in western europe we don't consume ourselves to death.
You could also just move to a proper country, like one in Europe. At least the countries stand up for eachother, there's decent education (both secondary and tertiary) and a serious healthcare system.
Programming is sort of like getting to work a puzzle all day long. I actually enjoy it. It's a lot of fun. It's not even work to me. It's just enjoyable. You get to shut out all your other thoughts and just concentrate on this little thing you're trying to do, to make work it. It's nice, very enjoyable.
I was as upset about the loss of the start button as anyone, but having come across a list of the new windows key shortcuts, I'm now able to get things done faster than ever.
Good, that means Windows is now almost at Ubuntu level.
Mod parent up. I speak from first-hand experience if I say that this is how I got many jobs in IT. Personally, I created a website for a big volunteer organization, and many people got to know my name from there on.
What do you mean by "in our place"? I mean, sure, I know what you intuitively mean, but, what does it/really/ mean, metaphysically? You cannot define "place" outside of a universe, because outside of a universe there are no laws, let alone geometry.
The problem is that many important philosophical questions are very hard to make precise, and/this/ is the reason some questions are not "valid" in a logical sense.

Without a doubt, this post will get modded -1 disagree, but the truth is that all marginally useful researchers active in the USA come from Europe and Asia. America is willing to spend way billions and billions every year on a brain drain, and truth be told, they're pretty good at that: it's now come to a point where any academic here in Europe will have to consider whether he thinks going to the US for further research is worth it, or choose to live for a lower wage and keep up your standards.
Yes, good researchers often live in America, but that's because they were all, piece by piece, bought out from Europe and Asia. America a leader in science? Don't make me laugh.
Among other peculiarities, his research results made sense.
haskell for the masses? sure, but only...

haskell for "the masses" is possible as soon as "the masses" has a degree in mathematics. java and php are copy-and-paste languages, functional languages simply take more thinking to compile at all, and i think many programmers are not prepared to do that to the required degree, although i'd love to be proved wrong.
That's not what the web works like. The people endangered by malware are your neighbors (particularly your male neighbor because he's watching porn all day, and we all know women don't watch porn). Your neighbors are people who hardly know what "Browser" means, have once heard about this "Microsoft Linux" thing and will buy a new PC when their current one gets slow. This is the majority of the society, and you can't fix it by adding more instructions and manuals to every piece of software.
I am an electrical engineer. Here's some news for ya: us electrical engineers do learn these skills, so don't bother complaining about the state of the world because new students are taught these vital insights in computing every day.
Oh please enlighten us. I have knowledge and experience in Linux, C++, signal processing and i know a teensy tiny bit of knowledge of stock markets. I have a nerdy interest in CUDA and GPU algorithms but haven't actually used them yet. I'm single (ugh, aren't we all?), 20 years old and am obtaining a very solid background in physics, electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics. What should I do.
how strange, Murphy adds loads of kinetic energy to the air and when he's done driving, it still all stands still.
what murphy forgot was that whatever energy you put in getting the air to move you partially get back when it's behind you and comes to a standstill. the entirety of his argument does not hold water.
Why would this effect be obvious? That we choose products which we favor seems logical, but that we favor products/after/ having chosen them, even if we have a horrible experience with them after the acquisition, is not "duh".

Everyone on this site is in IT, so what is the added value of AC's comment?
Thanks for sharing, captain obvious.
You, my dear friend, need a serious lesson in politics. And no, watching Zeitgeist does not count.

Thank you, no idea why the picture could have a caption such as yours to explain this.
Because the audience is not a bunch of nerds on a tech news site, but scientists in a nanofabrication lab.
You guys should get into math.

Battery technology changes virtually daily, we're not nearly far enough to standardize a rather significant part of the process.
except you can't understand it unless you already do...
