FYI: We have a "Constitution" for the purpose of protecting MINORITY rights. Our founders rightly understood that the majority (ie people that think like yourself) rule can/will eventually unjustly strip the minority of their rights with out protection. It is protection of the minority rights that the constitution provides. Hence the reason we can all still own guns despite the fact the majority of the Americans would like to curtail that right.
Authoritarian government is not necessary.
Go and work in your garden with fertilizer and get some on your shoes or hat. Maybe your person. Next take a trip to your lovely TSA scanner and see if they let you on the plane:) The problem is the molecules they scan for are all over the place. There would be far more false positives than they would be willing to handle. If I remember correctly they where testing for nitriles by wiping with a cloth. So many people tested positive they finally gave up. Of course they have probably forgotten about that.
It really isn't about the cost totaly. His point is that going to school, mastering some aspect of a field and going about your way for the rest of your life isn't working anymore. We constantly have to re-invent ourselves with new skills because things change so rapidly. Udacity will aid in solving that problem and make it cost effective.
Old software engineers suck dude. BTW: I have a picture sharing site fore sale. I'd be willing to let go of it for a cool billion. Chillaxing in Silicon Valley.
I see from your other post we have a little hostility thing going toward DIY in the security camera area. Maybe it is enough that he will recognize his neighbor stealing his stuff. Not everything has to be geared for the apocalypse. For me I'm just trying to identify the person who is letting their dog dump on my driveway and not cleaning it up.
I have a foscam wireless camera that will upload to an ftp server of your choice. It was inexpensive (~$60 on amazon). Can be set to take an image on some time interval. You can then collect the images into a movie for that day ( use 'convert' from Imagemagick).
As if there are no other distractions...

What is the problem here? Even if your tablet doesn't have the distractions your phone does or the computer you are using. Or the guy next to you. If you are that easily distracted then you probably aren't really focused or it is a bad read. It isn't the tablet's fault. This is another one of those I don't like tablets kvetches.
You are completely wrong. My best friend from high school spent many years earning his Eagle Scout. When it came time to receive the honor he requested that religious references be removed from the ceremony. He was told that he acknowledge a belief in God or forgo getting the Eagle Scout he spent many years earning.
Why on earth would it take a year to learn to code? This isn't like becoming a surgeon or politician. It might take a couple of months to really type well but come on. I train someone in a matter of weeks to do as well as a Stanford or Berkeley CS Grad. Bottom line people skills are what really matter in programming. There is one very import skill however. You really need to be able to answer a ridiculous question in a phone screen. That is a true test of a great programmer and any Google employee can tell you that.
Hire older workers. But you cant because they jobs suck and young people will do them because they think it is cool. Instead pay older workers well, provide time for a life and family and you will retain employees. Young people can do whatever they think is in their single best interest. Move wherever they want and switch jobs frequently because they have no one to think about besides themselves. But then again that is why they are desirable workers, they can work all hours for lower pay. Been ther done that.
Say I go to Amazon and search for "Metal Lathe". Choose a particular item. Then look at "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" to see what other items might be of interest. Amazingly Kindles seem to show up in this list for pretty much any item you look for. Coincidence?
Can you say Auto Dimming Welder's Mask. If I were a pirate after millions in ship booty a $50 auto dimming welding mask might just make the $25000 laser useless.

By inovation they actually mean copying their interface will force them to face competition and not be able to monopolize the market.

Use Vimeo instaed. Cut YouTube out of the loop
What is old is new again. Yada Yada - the more we know the more there is to know. Can we say Quantum mechanics.
Seems to me we could drop 2 and get a better effect that dropping just one.
If the price is on the order of the cost of a book ~$75-$100 I think it is a great deal. The class had it's issues but far few than I imaged.
What is the total amount of damages from something you in no way make money from? $0 duh>

They became M$'s bitch the moment they hired an ex-M$ CEO. The only surprise here is why did it take so long?

I think Reed has earned a generous severance package. People who don't perform well just don't belong at Netfix. http://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=netflix+generous+severance+package
Why don't we sell or lease them and wipe out the deficit. Win Win for American public and capitalism.
I thin he has earned a generous severance package.:) https://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=netflix+generous+severance+package&oq=netflix+generous+severance+package
