Really? As competition to Java it is fairly comparable. It has some features that, used improperly will lead to slower code (though, they are nice as a convenience), it is missing some features, has some features that Java is missing, and the free version of Visual Studios, at least in my opinion, is a nicer IDE than Eclipse, Netbeans or Anjuta. And it's not being used in a bunch of lawsuits by it's owner.
As a point of reference as to where I'm coming from with this post - Sysadmin + Java programmer at work, C/C#/Python Programmer at home.
Oh, ok. With a similar "feature" on Facebook, you do. It's scary that many people I know who are supposed to be techies (one, who I know actually isn't, but seems to think he is because he own's a Mac rather than a PC...) use it.
I hate certain code practices of reducing whitespace in C-likes, since they make it harder for me to find blocks of code (such as putting the block-opener at the end of the line, instead of on it's own line).
I usually use Eclipse, Emacs or, when in Windows doing a quick script, Notepad, when I use Python, so I guess I've never had a "the wrong editor" problem.
While interesting - in the end, it won't prevent me from getting my data off GMail, and facebook cannot/will not supplant GMail, so it can't actually make me lose access to my data.
If it were another email provider, I would be a bit worried, but as of yet, not so much.
What worries me, is that FB asks for my email address and password with stuff like that. Seriously, it's sad that people are dumb enough to give 3rd parties their site login/pass.
1) Some lights change at the same rate, regardless of pressing the button. 2) Lights with chirpers/beepers/buzzers will only make noises if the button is pushed. I think all of these change at the same interval regardless of pressing the button, the button merely tells the light to activate the speaker when it switches. 3) In the suburb where I live, the walk lights won't show unless you hit the button. The timing of the traffic lights doesn't change, you just get a nice walk light. This is rather obnoxious because you get yelled at if you cross when a walk light would have been active if you had hit the button... 4) Some lights won't change unless you hit the button - about the same as described by the poster from Austin. 5) The one light I know for absolute sure doesn't do anything if you hit the button, is near where I work. Hit the button, don't hit the button, do either all day, it doesn't matter, the sign will never switch to "walk"...
Only when used in idiotic contexts like the first post.
In this case, they are looking for patterns, and the actual cause is irrelevant, if they notice patterns that indicate higher risk, regardless of the root cause, they follow them.
Now, there are correlations (violent video game players have a higher incidence of violent activity) that, by themselves, do not imply causation (further tests are needed for causation). When someone tries to use these as an implication of causation, then the phrase "correlation does not imply causation" is quite intelligent.
And, I just implicitly defended Capital One. I feel morally dirty now. Thanks a lot.
Wow... I wish I could be indoctrinated so to have that kind of confidence.
Governments DO NOT have infinite money. They have a lot, but it is certianly not infinite.
And, while the government is usually inefficient, it is not always so. Likewise, businesses can be inefficient and still stay in business, depending on the competitive situation.
As far as A goes - it wouldn't stop corporate America or any other first world countries corporations, they could do the research on their own. Or are you suggesting there is something useful that the US government/NASA did, that corporate America can't? Maybe you are a fan of corporate welfare - lots of giving to those poor starving CEOs who can't afford to have caviar for more than two meals and a snack a day?
For B... Capital is NOT a problem with corporate America, demonstration of profit is. They won't get that demonstration unless things here on the earth are seriously in the shitter (and it is too late), or the government finds the evidence first. Once something has a reasonable chance of profit, it will get investments.
For C... That's actually a good point. Corporate America is superb at getting past inconvenient government restrictions... However it would be hard to hide anything space related, I suspect.
So unless you are fixing their pc, it will hard to make an excuse as to why you are opening up their machine when they wanted some anti-virus installed
You haven't dealt with the average end user much have you? Probably less than 1% would be worried/suspicious. Of those that said anything, the answer "Oh, the antivirus has a special piece of hardware that it uses to prevent it from being disabled by viruses..." would suffice.
Maybe in 10-15 years, but looking around, all I find promoting that use is, at best, second rate sources (third rate more likely), such as what you posted, and bloggers who want to criticize mainstream writers.
Sorry, I don't want to use your new and grammatically idiotic slang.
"Another think coming" doesn't even make grammatical sense, let alone logical sense. Also, look up 'idiom' when you get the chance. Also, a 'thought' is a thing, so it might not even fall under the category of idiom, although with the general use of 'another thing coming', it probably should.

No. I think you have it wrong... You seem to be mixing two thoughts

Well, that's completely non sequitur to the person I was replying to and the message displayed by Google, isn't it?
Not familiar with ABC, don't mind python.

Are you nuts, that's too expensive for the test flight. It's just a family of six for the first go-round.
But... This isn't the first bethesda game has been released that was very buggy.
Ever play ANY of the Elder Scrolls games?
funny, I find the ones without significant whitespace (or that let it be omitted) to be the problem...
Then again, I've never programmed in whitespace.
I'm guessing this is a joke, given that programming code files are also "just text files"?
I dunno about NY, but it varies here in Ohio.

Aye. A Kinect would be a great tool/controller for a computer.
Then again, maybe that's it - they don't want the computer to have one more way to compete with the 360.
Of course not. If that were the case, we'd have seen an 'infinite' and some negative value as well.
LOL....
I'm deserving of a Wooosh right now...
So... You're dating your mother...?
ewwww...
I wish I could tell you how many women I know who aren't lesbians who like D&D (or, in most cases, Warhammer) minis...
Only one of them would be worth anyone's time though.

Historical and modern genetic evidence suggests otherwise.

I have a great code-name for the patch project:
Punctured Condom.
For the most part, I agree with your points, but smoking IS NOT victimless.
Second hand smoke is quite dangerous. People who lose family due to sickness caused by first or second hand smoke are most certainly victims.

They used IE6 to E^3 (Embrace, Extetnd, Extinguish) Windows 7 long before it even came out!

You fail at being a Grammar Nazi, sorry.
