I attended a talk by an aerospace engineer and one of the first thing he realized about his first job is he didn't really know anything. His courses were merely a foundation for the rest of his career. It is this way in any technical field.
I am pretty sure he knew all about aerodynamics when he finished his course. Problem is, that when you interview resent CS graduate and ask what is the difference between two-tier and three-tier architectures you get a blank stare in return.
I would not expect someone getting a computer science degree to take a course on writing functional specifications or using bugzilla and Eclipse, just like I would not expect a medical doctor to take a course on filling out patient charts.
You obviously have not seen what the colleges/universities spit out as "ready for market educated individuals". An CS major has to* be able to create software. PERIOD!
That is just not what colleges/universities deliver. These kids don't know what is a functional specification. Have to spend a month learning a new programming language. And that shows that they are not taught fundamentals of software engineering, programming languages or anything that makes IT. They are however taught a lot of relatively relevant topics.
They are basically bombarded with everything the college/university has to offer and not a lot of things that are related to their future careers.
I die a little inside every time we do recruitment runs...
* - Even physicists and mathematicians should be able to write software these days.
The it's obvious that universities should start doing post graduate training courses... Or not lie that the students "get a good position on the job market" after graduation.
At MWC 2011 the following new tablets were presented:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Honeycomb)
LG Optimus Pad (Honeycomb)
Huawei IDEOS S7 (Froyo)
HTC Flyer (Gingerbread)
Huawei and HTC devices didn't have Honeycomb on them. HTC said that Flyer would get Honeycomb at at lunch or right after launch.
In essence, there are 5 new tablets(Moto XOOM) on the scene. With 60%(3/5) of them on Honecomb!
If you add Galaxy Tab, then it drops to 50%.
The Honeycomb Born Too Early is an overstatement at this point.
And suppose he builds himself a fabulous house, with his own hands. Every nail he hammers himself. This is an awesome house. And then he dies. By your logic, should your mom, you, and the rest of his offspring be allowed to live in a house that they had nothing to do with?
Again, you are trying to equate oranges to apples. The point is, that you would be protesting and have the legal right to stop another carpenter building a similar house next to your land. How is that normal?
And how about the fact, that for intellectual property you don't pay inheritance(estate) tax? If we are to treat IP as regular property, then make sure that taxes are equal for inheriting shares in a company as well as income from sale of IP.
For 12'000 these machines should be able to connect to a System/360 and work.
Try Lexmark, they should work properly. Since Lexmark got the printing business from IBM.
Well... Based on the Evangelion by Judas as well as history Christians are very much polytheistic. Catholics are more so than others. Jews and Muslims are the only two that are strictly monotheistic.
On the other hand, don't Catholics have their nutcases? Lutherans? Any other protestants? How about Westerboro Baptist Church?
Define success. AngryBirds on Android is a success for Rovio, even when it's ad supported. If you define success to fail early, then failing early will be considered successful.
Skeptics are necessary for all scientific theories. The 'how' of evolution still has missing pieces.
There are people that are skeptical of gravity, and that's a really good thing.
Sceptics sure are, but most evolution sceptics are religious nutjobs. And calling someone religious a sceptic is results in an oxymoron.
It's horrible to see that the marketing techniques that he used are used against his humanitarian efforts. Karma is a cruel bitch. (All joking and sarcasm aside.)
A text in the input field should not be indexed.
Problem that their backend took the raw data : Go to Google.com > Search for hibbprqaged > Click on link that is in fact a link to www.google.com/something > Redirect to a page
And transformed it to: hibbprqaged means a search for a certain page
The least that it shows, is that they are deliberately removing Google from data they collected on Google's site.
Ok... Lets forget the usual - RTFA. And get to the fact that Android is 90% phones(conservatively) and "There are lies, damn lies and statistics". You can basically turn any number to your advantage.
Ironically the meter prototype got shorter, so when you calculate the mass 1 cm3 of water and multiply it by 1000 you still get the mass of the lighter kg block.
But in reality, they shouldn't even be thinking about genetics. For example, alcoholism has a very clear genetic factor. Does that mean that an alcoholism is "natural" and should be acceptable behavior? Of course not.
...
By the same token, it's also a poor argument to claim that homosexuality is acceptable behavior by claiming it's "genetic." And yet, that's exactly what I hear when people talk about gay rights.
Stupid people on both sides are using weak, ignorant arguments, if you ask me.
So.... How do you propose to "cure" gayness? With alcohol, you can just stop taking alcohol. Get gay people to 100% women dormitories and not let them out of there?
If it's genetic(people are born with), then the religious people will not have a right to claim that these people have to be "cleansed" and "healed". You may not like people because they are gay, you may not like people that have sex for recreational purposes. The Bible says it's a sin. So is masturbation. Heterosexual couple is as sinful at using condoms or any kind of birth control to have "safe" sex not for reproduction.
Alcoholism is natural, being gay is natural and having a sex drive is natural. But what you hold acceptable is something completely different. Some people don't hold smoking acceptable, some hold that spoons have to be always separated from forks.
However what we all hold sacred is human life. In some countries an cultures personal freedoms are also held in high value. Some countries have the words "pursuit of happiness" in their founding documents. And those words raise the liberty bar very, very high...
Oh and as for gays, stop pushing for marriage, marriage is not natural. Human beings are not monogamous, as displayed by the size of testicles.(Small testicles, mean that the primate is monogamous, bigger mean that the primate is polygamous.)
If some right wing radical nationalist got 20% while everyone else got 15%, that would make him the "most preferred candidate". The idea is to have less radicals and more people that are the most acceptable. A country that is ruled by radicals, becomes a radical country. US is not a radical country, you can see that by the president/VP combos. Even Bush wasn't, with all his stupidity/naivety/whatever, a radical.
We have something similar. We just have half of the parliament elected on proportional basis. Parties publish a list of candidates and people not only select a party, but also five people of that party they want to see in the parliament(in descending order of importance). This brings a fun possibility - a leader of the party may not be elected as a member of parliament.
It's not a problem calculating the will of the people these days, it just brings a lot of new possibilities of expressing exactly what people want.

Actually both types lack that understanding. There are exceptions, as always....

I don't think that total illiteracy can be considered as "perpetual copyright".
PS: And author's attribution right, is nothing a sensible thing. While copy right is rather stifling....
I can picture God with a cigarette in his moth....

What about software updates?
To be precise, neither is a subsidiary of the other.

Yeah and using the same Koran discredit the "holiness" of Christmas and crucifixion.

Well, with that "doctor" being vocally anti-vaccine they can defend their stupid position with "But that doctor said so! And he is a doctor"

I am 99% sure that you have a fetish. Because only asexual people don't.
