There is a lot of smart about Matt Smith. I have a facebook account, but only use it when truly necessary, usually for development. I've always known there is nothing for free in this world and I value my privacy more than free internet socializing. I would rather PAY for an account with the guarantee that everything is 100% under my control.
What's he done so far? I mean, to receive this honor, don't you actually need to do something, say actions which promotes world peace? All he's done, so far is instigated trouble. None of this yet has done anything towards world peace. World unease, perhaps, world friction, sure, but nothing about peace. Someone is jumping the gun here.
a high-end netgear router and it works great and I use extensively for mobile, PCs and laptops. I also have 5GHz as well as 2.4 Ghz setups and anyways, it's been working like a charm for 2 yrs solid.
Well, it really depends on your site's design.. And then again there are sites and then there are web apps.. So, for example, say you adhere to the 'Responsive Web" school of design, then, you are going to be building a site which will start from mobile and then scale all the way to the desktop, but along the way, you will be altering your design to get more bang for your buck when you get more resolution from your user-agent.
If you are using libraries, more than likely, there will be a lot of code from these libraries which might not provide you with any functionality, until you scale up in your browser expectations/requirements and features.
For the sake of efficiency, it would make more sense to have a smaller, more compact library with only the core functionality you require and then with dynamic loading, add extra javascript module as required and/or use a factory pattern for your API which adapts to the user-agent as well as available features (always better to perform feature detection first).
Big Brother is everywhere, of course, hotmail accounts are free, unless you are a paid subscriber, so, don't expect anything for 'free'. That being said, one would think that if one is a paid subscriber to a server such as an e-mail service, that there should be a guarantee of privacy. Oh well.
hard is merely the fact that often, the theories and equations taught are quite abstract. It is very important to have a solid grasp of concepts, but in the end, the material could be improved with visual and/or tangible results which have some values and/or association to the abstract concepts.
So, now, we will have Blackberry and a few OSes.. IOS, Android of various flavors and Firefox OS. The more the merrier! I will say this however, the fact that you can develop using the Firefox Browser where the OS is added as an add-on does at the very least make things easier for us coders.
well, yes, it is highly possible for the client to fake their user agent string, but in the end, usually, this is done for testing. That being said, if some idiot wants his Firefox to read like IE, well, so be it.
the approach to JavaScript development. Everybody is to trying to use 1 library for all platforms (mobile, desktop) etc.
The first thing is to stop this non-sense.
Use server side technologies to sniff out the client. When working with mobile phones, create or bastardize a library which has the smallest footprint possible to fit your needs.
when you take such a strong moral stance as Card has, you need to be aware of the repercussions. In this day and age, anybody who sends messages of any form of oppression and/or restriction which makes a person less than an other, clearly, is looking for trouble.
This is a nice Proof of Concept. I wonder if eventually we will develop a graphene based car shell which won't be cost prohibitive and could be used for manufactoring automotive parts such as the exterior, for example.
It is believed that we are 10 times more microbial cells on and in our bodies than there are human cells.
With a ratio of 90% microbial and 10% basically there is an estimated 100 times more microbial genes than the genes in our human genome. So, we are in essence both human and bacteria. I hope this new anti-microbial glass doesn't have any nasty side effects...
this is going to be real expensive at first, probably won't be readily available for 30 yrs to the common folks, but, on the other hand, this can lead to very interesting projects, from new forms of entertainment vehicle to new forms of crime scene investigation tools and perhaps even for memory therapy and other uses which I can't think of at the moment.
Privacy software will be a red flag, they will see this coming a mile away, hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA wasn't indirectly funding a few of these apps themselves just to give you some false sense of security.
In the end, if you want your privacy, well, keep it private!:)
But beware social media and most of all, be smart. You don't want people to know, then don't use electronics for your very sensitive stuff, or at the very least, keep it hush, sneaker net, or word of mouth.
Sure you could be a genius and create your own e-mail and electronic data transfer app with your own private key system for security, using your own encryption, and perhaps, passing this info and software only to those in the 'need-to-know' and then, use the old snail mail system to distribute the software and the key(s), etc..
If you have need for this, well, you lead a way more complicate life than I would want for myself!:)
eventually, parts will be printed, perhaps with different yet compatible material, where each part could function on its own in an innocuous way, yet, these parts assembled with become a weapon. And worse, several weapons could be smuggled in a way nobody would know because several people could have various parts and just meet up somewhere and assemble them.
Here's the kicker. You will more than likely be able to print bullets somewhere.
this will get compounded when these 3-D printed weapons are actually made up of parts which on their own have a look and feel and a different functionality. And imagine when they are able to get these 3-D weapons to be made of alternate, yet compatible parts. Things will just get a little more..... interesting..
all of these facts are great and let you deal with the pragmatic and practical in the name of science, but, in the end, you also need to evolve the human side of the equation, if only because you are going to be dealing with people and might even be in a position of lead and/or mentor and in that respect, understanding how to deal with others is a win-win for all. Many great minds are actually poor people persons and often, to the detriment of their own path to success.
Are you good? how do you know? Have you self-taught yourself actual experience? Be somebody's apprentice and work on contracts for a bit, you need some experience to go with that knowledge.

We will find ways to make money...
It will still continue in digital, so, now, instead of taking your PCWorld mag to the bathroom, you'll be taking your tablet! :)

when machines start building parts to repair themselves fully, it will be akin to humans procreating..
eventually, parts will be printed, perhaps with different yet compatible material, where each part could function on its own in an innocuous way, yet, these parts assembled with become a weapon. And worse, several weapons could be smuggled in a way nobody would know because several people could have various parts and just meet up somewhere and assemble them.

some aliens were rejoicing at Paula Deen's demise... :)

Now, let's figure out how to take our full memories, experiences and ego and let's start making mind transfers! :)
