The limit in my family is ten - you get a mobile for your tenth birthday. Of course, then my father-in-law comes along and gives my daughter a 600 Euro phone, which she promptly loses on the street in the week after that, but that stuff just serves to teach my father-in-law about the nature of my kids. I give them phones, but I'm not stupid: I give them cheap and simple phones.
That is the thing. More modern programming languages aren't easier - they've just got more clear-text primitives and fewer possibilities. But possibilities are just confusing (it is reasoned), and more typing is caught by using auto-completion on eclipse.
Same here. Snow Leopard user. Can confirm it. Stupid OS. I hope this will forever silence the 'if you think that firefox is a proper Mac application GTFO' trolls. This time, it's *better* to use Firefox.
The best formatted (C)API that I ever encountered was the X11 client-library. Yeah - so sue me. No really - one function per file,same name for the file as the function, clear indentation scheme, always a comment (on top), well documented structures, etc.
In the light of the realisation that security can never be absolute - can we not have some sort of 'trust-voting' ? You pick a random amount of trust mechanisms from a fixed set available on your machine and the internet, and you make them decide whether or not something or someone can be trusted and to what degree. You could even have a 'slide-bar' in the bottom of your browser.
Nah. Just grow and dye your hair. Grow a mustache and beard. Get coloured contacts. Fake a limp. Wear a hat and something very noticeable in another place (a red chest pocket kerchief).
When people can easily afford in these numbers, something which essentially amounts to a five-hundred dollar couch accessory, there really isn't much of an economic crisis going on.
Yeah, 'clouds' are like filesystems, or process-schedulers (with multiple CPU's to choose from), or even hashtables - it's an abstraction layer around storage and/or functionality that takes away your vision of where it happens exactly. Definitely not a new concept.
Then what is it? I'm pretty sure that freedom of speech is nothing more than the ability of someone to say something (some restrictions apply in most cases) without being punished by the government (or something similar).
Hint: the answer lies in the '(or something similar)'.
I think a replacement 'native' language should focus less on academic correctness and fads, and more on things that make scripting languages nice to work with. I don't *mind* OO features, but I find their exclusiveness in java, for example, a litlle limiting. And in C++ a little overbearing. Rather, I'd see C extended with supple string handling and regexes, for example. On top of a class model, obviously.
Please tell us more - I long to feel the sound of your voice through your typings. Have you looked in the mirror yet ? Please do. Because you're worth it. It must be so great to be you.
O it's not ? Then why all the assumptions about the rest of us ?
Ah swabbing. I remember swabbing. I have a case full of home-grown mini-PC's, wires, a hub and two VOIP phones that I have to carry around a lot. Tons of fun can be had at airports.

Steve ?
Well, you're on Slashdot, so you'll be taking seriously for saying that.
"What's more, the hollows look distinctly fresh, because they haven't been reshaped by later impact events."
I don't pretend to know more than an astronomer, but doesn't the Sun catch a lot of things that would otherwise fly into Mercury ?

Welcome to the nineteenth century ! Next up: electricity.
Oh so it's about some game company never mind.
Polarization ?
It would also explain why they seem to be able to travel through any material without interacting with it.

Make the first thing that happens during boot or a windows-install, the set-up of a VM. Let the VM monitor the OS.

I'd hate for those robots to be uploading their data into some stupid old server. Thank god they're uploading it into the cloud. That's much better.

Scrap CA's - start with an empty list. Break up the concepts of verification and encryption.

Yeah. O, and the people who have to do actual typing. But never mind those - they're probably a small minority.
