1) If CS is so easy to learn, then why are software projects so hard? Like the crapwre that comes out of FB and healthware.gov?
2) If CS so easy easy to learn and so lucrative, why is there a so-called shorter of software engineers?
Craters on the "3M" planets Mercury, Moon and Mars show periosd of large bombardments until 3.8GY before present. Early life chemicals may have been roasted several times. Incidnetally the first strong signs of Earth life are from that era, befores supportig a rapid early evolution.
When I was at MIT in the 1970s there was not an official computer science major yet, even though were several prominant computer science labs that every student wanted to play in. Compuer science was a minor in EE, ME, and business. In 1980 MIT recognized a formal CS degree.
I wondered if the procrastination was due to the "taint" of programming being a trade-school craft and not a real scientific discipline. And that in turn due to its early female participation.
Before the late 1940s the word "computer" refered to clerks who computed mathematical tables (e.g. weapon trajectories) by hand or mechanical calculator. All these clerks were female and their bosses males. So when the first anlog and digital computers came along in the late 1940s, some of their clerks became their programmers. Programming was by rewiring switchboards or punch tape in those days. The electrical engineers and mathmaticians who built the hardware were mostly male. Soem of them migrated into software too.
China has slow, steady well financed program. Private contests may have some hope. the US program suffereing death by a thousand small cuts. They manage to get two Mars probes funded this decade, otu several planned. JPL-NASA is talking about turning off Opportunity soon because they cannot financially afford to operate multiple Mars Rover due to sequester cuts. Curiosity has more powerful instruments and has less explored its area.
I notice that flash is currently goign for about 50 cents a GB and disk about 10 cents. Flahs has been falling faster than disk, but disk still falls too.
You have two copies of 21K-some genes. At some point an ancestor will make no contribution. (Of course there is a lot more stuff in the genome than the protein-coding DNA.)
Bith repulsive and titillating to his Victorian readers. That sexual selection is major sub-theme of natural selection. Darwin illustrated in bird colors and the such, but it operates in most higher species including humans. We have far more sex than necessary for propagating the species.
I agree it was an accidental side-effect of new technology rather than any committment by the US government.
Sadly environmentalism is so polticized that many groups refuse to celebrate this achievement.
Got to keep developing alternative technologies for when this one runs out.
there is a "sceince" of false warning tolerance

The weathermen learned it first. People start ignoring tornado and hurricane warnings if there less 20% chance of it happening that day. Earthquake forecasters cant get anywhere near that accuracy.

Could inprove the qality of Facebook! ;-)
According to NPR. The last I heard on NPR they promised the site would be up by Dec 16.

That clorflourocarbons and their halon subsititues are inense greenhouse gases. here

Sigh.

Out first departmental computer in the 1970s has a ten megabyte disk for $15K. And it was the size of a washing machine.

You can buy a license.
When they say we can defy the laws of economics. Valuate a company with no revenue.
counter example lots of fights, rapes, and mruders just after 2AM
I havent heard of kids detecting neutrinos for a science fair project yet.

If both the vector and recipient have dozens of varieties due to internal mutations, it would be hard to legally connect the two.
I couldnt find the statistics on google. However unless otherwise noted, I doubt if the rate betweent he two aircraft types are that different.

5% before 1990s emission. Mainly through replacing coal electricity with gas electricity. And bit from increased auto efficiency.
According to the scientiific dogma. Given enough time it fills all ecologic niches, inlcuding intelligence and outer space space.
