You are right. It's just so easy to post a comment without thinking.
When I think about it, even the Bible was controlled and suppressed back in the day. I'd like to think that the old religions were started for the right reasons, like good will towards man. But it's too long ago to say for sure. But I think I remember Hubbard once said he'd like to start a religion because it's easy money.
All we can hope for is that once Scientology is established, they won't be using e-meters to 'cure' terminal illnesses. Which I guess you could say is a form of high-tech prayer?
Scientology is fundamentally different from any other religion I can think of. They suppress information, drain their members wallets, ruin their lives, and sometimes even take their lives. All in the name of preserving their religion.
Funny how a woman whose career exists only because she's hot (can't be because she's smart or talented, she isn't) is bashing a video game for using a bit of the hotness.
Because they didn't do anything but take existing ideas/games and put them together in one game. The drumkit is most innovative part, but it's not like electronic drums kits have never existed. It's fun, but not innovative or original. Seems like they just wanted to nominate Rock Band for something, so they just stuck it in the Innovation category.
I know Java fairly well, but I started with C++ in high school.
Then when I got to college, Ohio State, sorry, THE Ohio State University, the introductory computer science curriculum taught using a modified version of C++ called Resolve C++.
In Resolve they mostly added keywords to the language that help explain things better to beginners, and included extended versions of the primitive types, eg int became Integer, and double became Real.
It was a pain in the ass for me since I already knew C++, but it helped a lot of students I think.
They also encouraged in-depth planning before coding, I won't go into the details. So I think OSU isn't one of the schools TFA is talking about.
That's the thing, while Apple hardware may be decent, owning Apple hardware has become more of a fashion statement than a reflection of someone's computing needs.
If you disagree, go to your nearest college campus, and count how many scenesters sport the white iPod earbuds.
With just about any fad or popular movement, there will be people seeking to take advantage of it to make loads of cash.
I have no idea what kinds of companies Al Gore has invested in, but it makes me question his motives.
I'm super cereal.
Seems more of an argument for agnosticism than an argument for Teh Matrix.
We're here, we laugh, we learn, we love. Do we really NEED to know why or how?
Besides, Google's calculator has the answer
When you spill hot coffee on your gonads while driving, it's not your fault. It's McDonald's.
Seems like nowadays personal accountability is dead, though I can't say I remember a time when it wasn't dead...
pseudo-random? The statistical probability of these answers is the same as any other combination. Assuming each Yes/No outcome is independent.
Maybe next time you should randomly select a nitpick.

I kept it short to avoid a Scientologist framing me for making bomb threats. Though I guess this post won't help

Are you describing the article, or your comment?

Exactly how is Rock Band innovative? It's multiplayer Guitar Hero with drums, and a mic.

The most surprising part of this is that WoW players actually go outside, let alone encounter a moose.
Because all dinosaur fossils that have been found are way older than all human fossils. Besides, how did Noah fit 2 of every dinosaur on the ark?
While they're at it, 3 boobs
I think it'll be more half man, half bearpig.
It really was alien, but the aliens are already here, and they're covering it up so they can terraform our planet with global warming.
Plus, all those drafting tables that were once replaced by CAD systems will once again be useful. Sort of.
Naked Twister has potential to be awkward...

A good programmer defines his/her variables (or abbreviations) before using them. Author of the article must not be one.
"more power to them..." Hah!
it'll be sure to clog the inter-tubes. it's not something you just dump something on, it's not a big truck.

In Soviet Russia, car drives you! Surely someone before me has posted this...
