Just because it isn't reported for you to read, doesn't make Turkey any better protector of history.
I was born and raised in the Diyarbakir a neighboring city of Urfa where the discovery was made. If it's history you seek, there is plenty in the region. I remember digging as a child while on picnic with the fam in the countryside and finding a small statue.
As a Kurd, we love and cherish this history. It's part of our heritage. There is so much more. Unfortunately, it is continually destroyed by Turkish government. At times for installation of huge dams, at other times to marginalize the Kurdish heritage and people in the southeast. The only hope of prevention lies in the "discovery" of these marvels by Western scholars and the attention of the Western media.
1. Design does not agree with the Google design style
2. Fonts and spacing on the new navigation are done sloppy and look novice
3. I really enjoyed the Tabbing up top. Google's search page is horizontally centered, placing the tabbing all the way on the left now undermines this design.
4. Too much content, too cluttered.
Along those lines, I agree! I didn't graduate with a CS degree. I did a month or two of internship where I went through a basic Java book and had side projects in PHP. This is where I learned the basics. Once you have the basic knowledge which I'm sure you have, just user your network to interview well and land a job. Don't lie, but bend the truth as you are confident that you will be able to perform the job once you get it. All you need is for someone to take a chance with you.
What about Bush for discovering "nucular" activities in IRAQ and "freedom"?
Seriously, my hat goes off to everyone contributing to these marvelous layers of abstraction upon which we build our future with ease.
This reminds me of Branson vs British Airways saga. There is certain foul play involved and only one way to end it: LAW SUIT!
As for a personal moral stance; I always believed that making money out of thin air is immoral, lazy and evil. You want to have an income? WORK and CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS PROGRESS.
'The concept of writing individual programs which run on multiple cores is called multi-threading. That basically means that more than one part of the program is running at the same time, but on different cores.
Wow, I bet nobody on slashdot knew that!
Although your comment funny at Slashdot, it's a wise ass, arrogant reply in reality.
It's always good to reinforce knowledge and be reminded of it. Meanwhile, thank you for reinforcing the stereotype of a programmer, that of arrogance.:)
I agree with some.
If it is a human creating a puzzle, another will find a way to solve it. To make matters worst, the solver has the brute force of the computer's computational powers at hand when solving, same can't be said about the puzzles being generated in this instance.
Furthermore, this reminds of almost of an epidemic virus such as HIV. Its constant dynamic mutation is the main obstacle when it comes to finding a cure. I think this would be one path to take when trying to avoid spammers; make a puzzle that is ever mutating. If cracked, at least this might cast some foresight on possible cures for HIV.
Inter-disciplinary is the wave of the future.
Well, I think the hype and the unprecedented advances made during the industrial revolution as well as space travel, invention of the automobile, airplanes and computers assured many exponential growth in our society. All of a sudden promises and future predictions of a sci-fi nature were made for the next few decades.
This isn't Moore's law and we can't sustain such growth.:)
No, indeed! However, they don't need to! They have cozy homes, nice technology, good wealth and influence over their government. If the opposition has F16s, Apaches, F35s, etc... I am sure they wouldn't blow themselves up either. Their appearance might be clean, but their hands are as dirty as it gets. They are the front runners in demonizing the Muslim world. This is one reason every country's political stance seems to be slipping towards nationalism and it is very bad. For me, the quote below sums up current affairs.
"Why are you against freedom?" ~G W Bush
You do deserve it! However, if you feel like such a victim, I'll more than glad to switch jobs with you. What your business means to you is what every employee's happiness/life means to them. It is a partnership as someone said, but you get to make the decisions, make the big bucks in this partnership, still you want to reason out that it is OK to put employee's in a choke hold. It is very selfish. What has changed is the fact that we the people are no longer terrified of the idea of not having a job and as a result do not put up with the bullshit. Let's face it most workers out there are expected to repeat the same motion, same action, same pull/push every day for the rest of their lives, because we don't have a robot in place to do this yet! Do you like living a robot's life?
As an individual, I'm happy to be free to choose. As a one out of many, I am proud to see and be a part of any change that benefits the masses, this is the morally right thing. If you can't understand this, then you are addicted to your business my friend. Do not feel neglected as I am sure you will find enough folks who lack the self-worth at the time to keep churning the butter as you wish them to.
Next time, take your stress out on your own choices in life and stop projecting it.
Wish you better days!
Proud Gen Y here. Basically, if anything has changed, it is that the same old fearful
I too am a versatilist.
Scientist up to 5 centuries ago didn't have little expenses that can lead one to tight corners. Things like phone bills, heating, this tax that fee, socializing money, fancy clothing, hell water even costs money these days. You get my point. Could your bottleneck hypothesis be true? Absolutely! However until versatility is one day the king, specialization will rule. We are paid to be good, very good, "expert" at one thing, kinda like machines:). For versatilists to be rewarded, we need tangible evidence. Unfortunately, in a world where capitalism (money) rules, profit is best measured by specialized tasks.
Third year, programming, I can attest that I outperform, out-design and outwork most programmers at work and I work for a huge and reputable corporation (I am just about ready to move out of this big corporate structure). I pick up things very quickly, am a generalist, I can find a creative innovative solution to any problem. I don't keep notes, memorize textbooks, chapters, etc. What one learns in 2 years, I learn in 1 month. However, being a non-CS major and no official training, having dropped out of High-school, GED, average state-school degree, with no "eye-popping resume builder"; I am unlikely to fit the suit of an "ideal candidate" for a competitive "exciting" Superstar Programmer position.
As far as I am concerned, the day I fit that ideal candidate position for such jobs, I won't be looking for jobs. You can argue that being the ideal candidate on paper is a sign of weakness. If you have such stellar background, why the fuck are you interviewing? Are you a bookworm? Have you memorized books? Are you purely a hard-worker? Are you just ambitious? Maybe, you know how to sell?
I have a huge passion for learning and I am highly unorthodox.
Here is my advice:
If you are going to interview people following same old procedures you have read about or seen, don't waste your time, because you already made your mind up on who you are looking for before the person walks in. This is why the interview process is worthless in further identifying qualified candidates. Be unique and customize your own interviewing process. Forget the formalities, forget the same old cliche questions: "Tell me how you overcame adversity!" uhhhh "Are you a team player?" I mean come on, all you are asking anyone to do is just act for however minutes this stupid pretend ideal session lasts. Lastly, look for the hidden gems, it's by far your best return on investment. Nothing in my resume says Ivy League, Rock star, Wow, but I am one capable son of a bitch!
These are my thoughts on JUST the interviewing (finding) process. Then you have to keep them!

"How do I put Tetris on this?" is the first question when you get a new electronic. The second is Linux.:)
With the informative out of the way, let's go to the funny:)
FOSS ignites passion, creativity, humanity, good and innovation. These are the goals I strive for each and every day. Clearly, Tetris man has profit on mind. Profit driven entities are good for one thing; PROFIT! If profit ruled, I might have been typing this on a mainframe. If profit ruled Slashdot would be pretty fuckin boring! If profit ruled, Tetris might have not walked to the hall of fame.
Wow is right! I do not understand how any citizen of any system would advocate for more taxes. It really blows my mind. Taxation is not what defines an entity to be property. Think about it! To go a step further, I confidently believe that taxation undefines property. Ownership flies out the window, conditions are to be met to sustain a false sense of ownership. The house you own, you really don't own. As a matter of fact, the government can take it away any time they please. Meanwhile you pay taxes on it!:)
The comparison is not on the OS(s) each machine can run or not, but rather on the ability of each to satisfy a need for a "Road Warrior." Whether one OS or the other OS achieving this doesn't factor in this comparison.
With that being said, I am a huge fan of Thinkpads and think that Lenovo(IBM) has a far superior quality and architecture than any other manufacturer out there. It is worth the price in my opinion. Identical specs on a Thinkpad and let's say HP or Dell laptop are just not the same.

It is old tech. Two reasons: 1. People fear change 2. Migrations are headaches, costly and cumbersome.
