Practise alone doesn't make you a good programmer. How about knowing this: -How does the OS that you're programming for, schedule?; -So when to use userlevel threading and when to use kernel level threading, and why?; -How many threads to use for what situation, where, and why?; -CPU caching; how little operations where? When does it and doesn't it work and why? -I/O scheduling; how does the OS in regards to the CPU schedule/interupt/que? Maybe interupts are disabled by the OS due to multiple cores? -And so on and so forth...
Hacking away at Visual Studio for years, still doesn't make you a good programmer. Only arrogant.
The problem with war is catagoric thinking. "Some guys from over there did something... So the are all bad and must all die AT ONCE!"
While anyone with a brain larger than the size of a steroid testicle can see beyond that, they are not given the chance to see it by media.
But then again there is no birth control, so how else do you keep the Earth from overpopulation? Well you keep a large percentage of the people poor and give them no choice but to do service and get themselved killed in the process. They are, ofcourse, the people who have so much babies, right?
A child's brain has to race from not even being able to see depth (given good eyes) towards applying the logic of this universe (math).
Around puberty much learned from parents have to be discarded in order to start developping independant thinking, but their frontal part of the brain (insight) starts to develop.
At around the age of 20 the mess is pretty much cleaned up and insight starts to show.
At the age of 45, the brain is mostly done developping and doesn't want to relearn everything it had already learned, so it becomes outdated.
"Maybe self-destruction is the answer" -Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club, Chapter 6)
The reason why is obvious; your country (and other western European countries too, actually) has been adjusted to an old welfare situation. That adjustment hasn't changed, but the welfare has, so maybe it's time to break down and start from scratch so we can all adjust more efficiently to the new situation.
No realy; solar panels for example. They could be more efficeint and cheaper, also catching wind and IR to transform into electrical energy. We could all replace the gaming rig with a tablet and a keyboard (maybe mouse too) and dump our energy sucking plasma TV. Change all light bulbs to LEDS, have cheaper, more efficient homes that passively cool and warm, reducing arico requirements, etc.
It's needed, even though you're probably not comfortable with it. But twenty years from now everybody will think to themselves "Jeses, why the hell did we throw away perfectly good cloths? What's up with that stupid fashion changing each quarter?", and they would be right.
"I want to do something crazy with laz0rz all the way down!" -"I have this crazy idea where all these 'social' people will actualy come and pay you for it, just to watch it and maybe even generate pr0n at the spot!" "... how?!" -"Well..."
What is justice? They charged you more for processing fees in order to profit from the sales. Now their customers can get their ticket service free of charge for the amount of times they got screwed, they no get it gratis and TicketMaster loses some amount of money. This nullifies their illegal profit.
This is a punishment for TicketMaster, not a "cash please" thing. Be lucky that the system doesn't always charge insane fees in the millions for a small processing fee. $1.50 USD is seriously not a massive amount of money and in this capitalistic world; you could have always bought them somewhere else.
It's better than a model T; it's a logic device with unlimited extensions. Give it four wheels and enough censors and you can make it drive from London to HongKong (given enough energy storage and clever programming).
I can see some purpose in for example an iPhone; it brings the advantages of the digital age to the braindead, sure. But some people would like to be able to actually harness the digital and logical power and do amazing stuff with it. The power of bash alone is insane; list A and B and merge into file C and sort and only grab D and put it in a file and print it out. With a single chain of commands you can do very powerful things that you otherwise would spend ages on doing in a GUI, let alone on a tablet.
A car is a single-purpose transportation device with four wheels.
A computer is an all-purpose brain that can do anything it is connected with. If it has a webcam, then it can take pictures. If it has a speaker, then it can play music. Etc.
There is no maintenance required. Maybe for something that you loaded it up with to do...
Walled gardens only exist if you load them up. Nobody is stopping us from writing our own OS. Just face it; your shiny laptop is glorified rewrite-able punch-card (HDD/SSD) parsing logic device.
Don't buy computers that don't give you the freedom to load a different OS. Period.
There has to be much more of this stuff, as deep package inspection is kinda fishy at the network level and this is a perfect workaround for the load balancing.
However, if you buy your phone seperate (without SIM-lock and from a webshop, but with a plan) then it's probably not there, or there has to be some 3G specification thing that requires manufacturers to put all kinds of crap in the firmware to be able to be compatible with network x, y and z.
Doesn't it suck that that's possible with your network? Having a 10.000.000 hackers staff at your disposal for free is kind of... you know... freaking great?
You're either working at CERN, where no-one wants to actually crash your system, that's not really connected to the internet directly anyway, or your service isn't worth doing computations. Let's say you're behind Azure. Nobody will cry if iCloud goes down.
Let me tell you what people will cry about; their credit cards getting stolen.
If they poke holes in my network all day and report where the holes are then that's fine, because if a malicious hacker gets it first; I'm fscked.
Is that so hard? I'd rather have friendlies poke my network before unfriendlies poke my network.
And I shouldn't be doing bad things that I can get charged with in the first place. And when I say bad I do not necessarily mean against the law, because the law isn't always The Right Thing To Do.
"How can I help you?" -"Well, I noticed that your bank safe is wide open! You might want to cl-" "You asshole! I'm calling the FBI!" -"But people their money might get sto-" "Son, you are under arrest for looking at something and then notifying the owner about it"
Hypercard is basically crap and boring, from what I can read.
It's like HTMLv5 and runs in a window, but not with all the same capabilities. I'd like to point to GTK3 and Gnome 3's HTML stuff if you want to make Hypercard stuff.
The problem is more complicated than that, but it has been solved completely satisfactorily now with the proper application of quantum mechanics to electromagnetic fields, known as quantum optics, and verified experimentally.
Right, so a photon, which is a light particle, is actually a electromagnetic pocket? And electromagnetism is bound by gravity, which then causes waves? And this soup, as shown with the double slit experiment, results in wave-particle patterns to the observer....
Very toughly, light is a quantum mechanical superposition of the electromagnetic modes.
Either a photon or a wave.
Note that photons, unlike normal matter we otherwise come in contact with (protons + electrons + neutrons) does not have a conservation law.
Because photons are formed by fundamental stuff that is bound by conservation. Same as if Lego bricks are conserved, but the car or crane they resemble is not conserved if the Lego bricks are disconnected?

Private jets come close?
Flying cars are totally possible, were it not for the fact that it's politically impossible to have everyone flying.
Not much about it has changed. In fact I'd say almost nothing changed. It's more software than hardware.
I'd say the internet is much more important than the computer itself, even though a computer is needed to fuel the internet.
Global communication is what made the computer explode in terms of usefulness.
How did you think we came here in the first place? How about having a gear-based Pentium, straight from the Roman Empire? _

In order to be fscking, you must first understand fscking by typing "man fsck", or in your case; "info fsck".
If they poke holes in my network all day and report where the holes are then that's fine, because if a malicious hacker gets it first; I'm fscked.

what has government ever done for us?
Giving us something to lose, so that we will obey everything they say.
