"In today's tech world, the developer is king -- and we know it"
Are you on drugs????
What with medical marijuana, oxy, etc., the answer is probably "As it happens, yes, I am!" Hey, it was good enough for Dock Ellis (Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher who won a World Series game on LSD).
The Wanker Song is not so famous that humming the tune (as the listening kids supposedly do) will scandalize everyone; moaning like one was in the middle of sex certainly WILL.
Try reading while holding your tongue, sometime, especially difficult text. The human brain remembers by rerunning actions with as little movement leaking through as needed, but no less, so as to also use kinesthetic memories to help recall. With more experience, the amount of motion reduces to almost, but not quite, nothing.
Oh, and every time that you remember something, it is erased, then rewritten, just like good old magnetic core memory did (does?)..
It might be nice to remember that this was the only way that people read, for a long time. In Medieval History, I read about early University scholars coming from all over Western Europe to see someone in Italy who read silently, without sub-vocalizing like everyone else did at the time.
Sounds like what Nikola Tesla supposedly did - building the first AC motors, running them for a year, then breaking them apart and examining them for wear, all in his head, before putting more than a vague sketch on paper. If you can pull it off for more than a few lines, more power to you.
This has nothing to do with technology. His ruling, which is a public document except in national security cases (even there, maybe, after whatever the wait for Official Secrets document - an American Revolutionary spy was outed in the mid-1960s, so it seems that about 175 years is the current figure) had sensitive information in it, which it shouldn't have had, unless the ruling rendered the "sensitivity" moot.
This is a judge too careless to understand "sensitive information" is supposed to be bandied about in public.
I still use a 4S because it was so cheap at the time (and because it fits in my shirt and pants pockets, rather than requiring a small backpack to carry around).
Admittedly, it is getting harder to get replacement accessories, nowadays. My charging cord is purple, because the world seems to out of white or black iPod cables.
Rather was shown to be a biased laughingstock with no credibility, and retired.
Alas, he did NOT retire, just moved to a web-based publication that even MSNBC thinks is too biased against Republicans, conservatives, etc. He still gets trotted out, every so often, to comment on certain issues (much like Brian Williams still has a job).
Just a note to all you forgers out there - use vintage equipment if you're producing documents after the fact!
Yes. Did NO ONE watch The Company (on CBS), back in the early 2000's?
One episode had them faking a document from the Dalai Lama (or his advisors) from the 1950s saying that the USA could _not_ have a listening post into China, so that His Holiness (right title?) could have plausible deniability for anti-Chinese actions taken in the years before they invaded, took over, and started shipping in their excess Han population to make it permanent.
You must have responded too soon; by the time that I am replying, almost no one is taking the cheaters' side.
Of course, going to Harvard for CS is like going to MIT for pre-law or French Lit.
Finally, someone above claimed that CS50 at Harvard is only for non-programmers, and so has nothing to do with whether US programmers are better than H1B hires or not.
When I took CS101 the rule was that you could NOT use i, j, k, etc as index variable names. I therefore used indx, jndx, kndx, etc. Got past the graders.
If it is something like input line number, that is different, but for most problems it is just an arbitrary subarray index, and more work naming it than using it.
It sounds like you're trying to lay all the blame on slavery on black people. Yes, there was slavery in Africa, but the practice expanded greatly because of white Americans.
Actually, America imported a fairly small proportion of all slaves. Most went to Brazil, then to the Caribbean, then to the South (less than 10% of the numbers), then the rest of the Americas (including the North). The practice in Africa DID expand because the market increased in size, and so excess PoWs in the African wars could be monetized rather than exterminated. Only in the South did slaves reproduce more slaves than the previous generations' numbers; the Caribbean sugar plantations were death traps for everyone even before Yellow Fever and malaria took their toll, and in the North the Africans nearly died out every winter, and so were too unprofitable to keep except as vanity items like house servants, while the northern Europeans found the weather just like home.
Probably caches for frequent queries, located around the world, so that not EVERYTHING needs to hit the main offices. Iceland's caches are just down on the refresh/replace queue.
If that occurred there should be an region where the two sides come in contact, which would be shining brightly in the x-ray portion of the spectrum. Since no "hoarfrost" region has been seen, it appears that hypothesis lacks evidence.
As Chuck Shurley (aka, GOD) put it during the First Supernatural Convention (which was *A*W*E*S*O*M*E*, as the organizer put it), it isn't really "Jumping The Shark" if you never come down.
Two walls, actually, although the more northern one needs archeologists to find it. Apparently it was mostly palisades, before the Romans abandoned it as too hard to defend.
What "term limits"? No limits except for the presidency, and only FDR ever had the gall to assume that he was the Indispensable Man and run for a third term or a ninth year.
The ugly truth is that the electorate is fairly evenly split, and gets tired of which ever side gets in power after 2-3 terms. FDR/Truman was an exception, because of the Republicans being blamed for the Great Depression, as was Lincoln to Hayes, due to the Democrats being blamed for the Rebellion.
Defect to either Ireland (last I saw, 90% spoke English as well as a Liverpudlian) or the Netherlands (a few years back, they were talking about having a new university teaching only in English)(plus Frisian is the closest relative to English), both of which are still in the EU.
BTW, French Canadians are much less than 1/2 of all Canadians; they just make noises about separating like the Scots do, and get ass-kissed to stay in the Dominion. If the Scots ever DO vote to leave, expect Holyrood to be given a bill for the debts of the Kingdom of Scotland which Whitehall assumed, with compound interest since 1707.

The parents should be glad that the pirate didn't play that 1970s classic "Love To Love You, Baby" , with simulated orgasmic moans all throughout.

Or realize that "console" begins with a hard C, pronounced like a Greek kappa, not like "sea".

What about when you pronounce "char" with an aspirated "ch" like in Scottish "loch"?
But don't take me as gospel; I sometimes put in the initial "h" in Roger - too much reading pseudo-Old English/Old Norse, I expect.
Still, one has to distinguish between the C char and the LISP car function, doesn't one?
This is a judge too careless to understand "sensitive information" is not supposed to be bandied about in public.
There. Fixed it for me.

I wouldn't shoot you, if I could get it by just pistol-whipping you, instead :-)

Bring back the 17" MBP while they're at it. Older users like myself need bigger displays.
Ditto. Fortunately, still a few out there (or were in October, the last time I really looked).

Sure, the Limeys may talk funny and spell words the wrong way, but really they're all still Americans at heart.
Or vice versa.
