so "teaching the multiplication tables" is bullshit and a poor proxy for learning.
Not everything can be broken down with "why". Many concepts just "are". In fact, the nature of why certain interactions exist is so esoteric as to not be worth discussing. The human mind can only absorb so much so fast. What's worse, schools aren't producing widgets. Everyone is different and you have to deal with engineers (such as yourself) as well as the jr burger flippers. Focusing on memorizing the things that are useful, with some understanding, is the best that can be done for a general education to a general population.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that no one knew that Kennedy was a raging alcoholic and a piss poor legislator. Especially considering how long human beings have been voting for him.
I guarantee not a single app that is labeled an abomination by the parent was done using Agile. Fact of the matter is that a miniscule number of shops use Agile. The most successful projects I've worked on from Contract work to Adserving to Accounting, were (both) Agile projects. The rest were "we're outta money/time, I guess that's what we've managed to finish".
Experience will show you that doesn't work. In fact, that's what the summary is talking about. People who don't understand Agile try to "adapt" it when it's not just the same waterfall process with different names.
To get a "clean" copy of a directory, use the "Export" command from your local repo. Subversion is nice because it limits the number of commands that you can (and would need to) run but names them as strangely as any other Revision Control System. You do need to produce process for how branching is done.
"verifiable" means correctly footnoted to a reliable source.
You're trading one subjective adverb for another. Reliable still equates to "written in a commercially recognized publication". Individuals who cannot successfully proof-edit their biographical entries or experiences means that it is far from perfect and still too narrowly constrained. Perhaps this will change now (doubtful).
The preview shows numerous catlike creatures. We travel to extrasolar planets. We create biological clones of existing fauna to attempt communication and understanding or suppression. The bad guy is the industrial/military complex that sends the avatars in. A simple, "I'm part of the problem, now I must fight." where the characters become sympathetic to the natives.
As I posted before, crimes are comitted and recorded throughout London. The newspapers had a number of stories of theft committed, recorded, reported and...nothing. Even knowing the time place and description of the person wasn't cause for the police to sift through the tapes. The cameras do nothing to deter most crime with such common knowledge.
Uncontrolled immigration is the obvious problem. Encouraging illegals with free government services adds to it. Keep the disease ridden out and the problem goes away.
While I agree on the goal and general reasoning of that statement, not the specifics nor the conclusion. First of all, trying to discourage illegal immigration is probably the single most effective way to improve most US Citizens' daily lives, quickly. I think Obama has failed in this regard. That being said, you cannot "keep diseases out" by trying to restrict human movement (if contraband can cross, humans will), but you can reduce the effects on large populations by attempting to do so. The goal is to expose the population to disease in stages allowing for awareness, strategic and tactical countermeasures to be developed, and to build immunity or resistance if possible. This is best accomplished by leniency toward immigration in border towns with strict (and HARSH) enforcement in large population centers. See, Switzerland, where there's a bounty for turning in illegals (in the form of classic "illegal immigration" and expired visas).
First they tried to stop resale, now they're stopping fair use within your own house.
How does one key one account stop that? or resale for that matter? This change simply changes the way you perceive value, because the processes to transfer become more intimate/complex. The value hasn't actually changed. Do you really think that going to a screen to create an abstract name (SC1) was a way to transfer value? (hint: you can do that now using notepad and sitting someone else down in front of the game)
There's no reason to think that they will stay with felines starting at 11.x.x, as it would eventually be impractical and uninteresting (Apple care a great deal that brandings are recognizable to the general populace). For example, Serval is never going to slapped on a release without a large amount of press to make it "well known" as a cat breed...meaning never*.
Those are examples, but do not justify the existence of all languages. As an example, C can produce an API that is identical to SQL (that's actually the common case).
Take a look at almost any library written in Ruby and contrast the API to an equivalent library in Java; 9 times out of 10, the Java API will a large number of methods and classes that the Ruby version can sidestep through the use of blocks and dynamic classes.
In my experience, Java is one of the least maintainable languages in widespread use.
Did you mean to use a word such as "include", "generate" or "require"?
The truth is that we have lots of programming languages because no single language or class of language can do all things equally well.
That's something you've heard or read. There is no evidence that this is true. People's ability to end an argument with a thought experiment, does not demonstrate a truth.
What's worse, certain institutions (particularly the government/colleges) use it as your sole identifier. When I find out I've had income from the other side of the country or have records come up about incomplete education in the midwest, that's simply because someone used (intentionally or unintentionally) my SSN.
Pierson v. Post, one of the more famous US property cases, is a perfect example of this.
So if I stick a flag in my neighbor's yard (or is it that I have to kill my neighbor?) it becomes mine? Physical property laws and precedence do not apply in this case, anymore than they do in any other virtual property case.
Virtual resources, however, do not exist in a state of nature.
At this point, I realized there would be no insight offered here. Just hype.
The idea of "property" is what people seem to completely ignore, choosing to focus on arbitrary topics that have basis in what their concept of ownership is built upon. The ownership of something as imaginary as invisible lines on a map should be broken down and examined, not serve as a starting point, not presented as a black box of assumptions to build baseless conclusions.
"Property" has a number of attributes (none of which conflict with "virtual property")
Property is defined. Ownership is defined. Ownership is enforced. Property Ownership is validated.
The design and implementation of these aspects (the "how") is the only thing that is required to achieve "ownership" of a specific resource.
In the case of such imaginary/transient concepts as physical property lines, there are mechanisms for each. Same with patents. There is a strong case that the mechanisms are essentially subjective and ineffective for "virtual property" like ideas, but this runs contrary to commerical and institutional (laziness and incompetence?) interests, so it is unlikely to change.
Who would be my supervisor? * I did once have a position where the supervisor was out sick, but it required a followup interview. In general though, if you haven't been introduced to them during an interview, your prospects at getting the position are probably 0.
How many software projects do you have going?
How is project management done? *This is really the kicker. If they have no system or fail to provide salient details like scheduled times, do not depend on the position being long term (more than 6 months), regardless of what they claim. At best the company is unstable, with an inability to manage expectations.
How is bug tracking done? * You don't want to hear "you'll be doing the bug tracking"; see: "How is project management done?" as this is part of PM. This can potentially teach you something helpful regardless of if you get the position. I have heard many different methodologies and have seen the resulting products.
Why do you use language/framework/API X for project/product Y? * It's not always necessary to ask this, but I sometimes do if the reasoning might educate me. This can potentially teach you something helpful regardless of if you get the position.
Has the company ever paid to train employees via a formal or recognized training organization? * This catches people off guard and often causes them to ask you to rephrase or repeat the question. It may also sour the interview. However, this will tell you if you can expect to get free training. This type of perk is just rare nowadays. A followup of "can I request time off to do pay for and attend my own training" will almost always result in "yes" but will never actually be approved to occur.
Where do employees usually go to eat? * This can affect your paycheck. A cheap cafeteria is a godsend. A botique cafe can be a burden.
What dress code will I need to follow? * I never phrase it this way, but this is the question you should always ask.
Dress code is something I have a strong opinion about due to my personality and experiences. I hate ties but not slacks and button down shirts for example. Personally, I have long since stopped appearing for interviews in a suit and tie unless specifically asked at which point I generally wear jeans and a button down long sleeve striped semi-casual shirt or polo shirt and belt, as that is universally the attire of my expertise. If I am at a "traditional company" (a turn of phrase I have heard) interview, the question about my attire does not always come up without me asking. In the few cases that I have been asked about my attire, I respond that I have been asked to do everything from pull cable through overheads and between floors to physically unpack and setup servers to wireframe UIs and develop database schemas. I am not always sure of the nature of the position I am applying for or what the condition of the facility might be. I have been asked if I can do all these things during interviews for similar positions. This is my attire that is conservative and flexible enough to do them all, which seems appropriate to me. Wearing a suit has been beneficial for 2 interviews and soured 2 that I know of. If a company is that hung up on attire, it's a bad sign anyway. How an applicant dresses is a comparatively trivial thing to change.
The Secret Service typically handles cases hacking and online fraud. If you are unfortunate enough to witness, experience, perpetrate electronic credit card theft, you might get to find out.
Greg Bear wrote a book called Slant that I read in the late 90's, featuring a biologically driven computer that met the claims of this experiment. While the reality is far from "faster than silicon", sci-fi has the fantasy covered.
it's amusing when Slashdot's readership adopts all these anti-copyright positions that would end up invalidating the GPL, because the GPL is a license that copyrights the source code.
How is it amusing? When someone understands that it's unrealistic to go from the current state of entrenched copyright law to no or severely limited copyright without a stopgap, the GPL fits the bill. People like RMS, who prosthelytize the GPL as the solution, have their own agendas to make a difference that they are comfortable with, framed by their own experiences. Many of the/. community who have the free time to participate in/. are idealistic and unwilling to compromise. This does not mean there is a dichotomy in understanding of the community, but a difference in individual perspective and priorities. It's obvious the limiting of software copyright (or copyright in general) could damage or invalidate the GPL. I ask, is that supposed to be bad?

Flickr took it down. What was his recourse? email them. Their response. Nothing. Ta-da. Next step is suing them? Not gonna happen. Status quo remains.
This is literally a dupe from 2000. Wow. It'll take me a bit to look it up...
