but the best programmers out there are the ones for whom programming is as natural as breathing, who would be hacking even if they were unemployed, and who are enjoy the work that they do
And by your definition they aren't the "Johnny who can't code" which is what the article is about.
I bet plenty of those "natural programmers" taught themselves how to program, many before they were teenagers. Nowadays that's even easier with all the online resources available.
If you aren't a natural talent at it, and you're in the USA it'll be stupid to take up programming because there would be hundreds of thousands of programmers as crap as you but cheaper. Go take up plumbing or something.
It's all different if you were a poor person in India.
I don't know about other people but I'd prefer a busy signal until something or preferably someone is ready to answer my call.
I feel more uncomfortable waiting for ages while hearing "your call is important to us", and eventually getting dropped with "sorry all <whatever> are busy".
Well then the recorded/AI message just has to be a bit more intelligent.
And I daresay it doesn't have to be very intelligent or coherent given the "minimum grade of caller" that most call centers are not supposed to drop;).
e.g. "Hello!, oops, sorry dropped my... *garbled*... OK, now where was... oh not again... *garbled*... Now as I was saying... " .
Yeah. If it weren't for legal issues, ISPs could set up automated bittorrent caches/"super peers" that cache and serve nearly everything that enough of the ISP users request.
Then the ISPs just throttle most P2P connections except to/fro their "super peers" and internal traffic. Hardly anyone would complain as long as their downloads are still fast.
So when is someone going to post a low level description of "what a true lambda expression does behind the scene" on x86 processors?:)
Being easier to type and more concise makes a big difference. Often what the programmer has to do in front of the scene is more important to the programmer than what the computer has to do behind the scene;).
If there's no difference then there's no difference between using one word/symbol and using a whole dictionary definition.
Programming can often be seen as a form of compression. You don't want to write programs using an infinite bunch of IF THEN statements;). But you don't want to pack everything too tightly if you think you might need to change some bits later on.
Uh. That sounds like a subpar nontech approach, assuming they are actually your friends but somehow annoying on facebook, you can filter them or their apps out while keeping them as friends. Facebook does give you many options of controlling what you see and what other people see.
FWIW Facebook also provide you an option to download a whole lot of your information in a zip file. Which is handy sometimes but probably more as reminder that the FBI, CIA etc are likely to be able to get Facebook to make a similar zip file for them (and provide them with even more info- perhaps the IP address used to create the account etc).
There's another option you're missing. 8) Make enough money to buy an individual insurance plan on your own. It's extremely expensive, and will probably be a big portion of your income unless you're pretty well-off, but people do it.
For some people that sounds very similar to option 9) 9) Buy a lottery ticket and win a lot of money.;).
More than 10 years ago I proposed that a TLD be officially reserved for _standard_ local private use. Basically something similar to RFC1918 but for TLDs.
Extracellular matrix is a component of body tissue that functions outside of the body's cells (thus the "extracellular" designation). It's made up mostly of collagen, a type of protein. So extracellular matrix extracted from the bladder of a pig does not actually have any of the pig's cells in it.
For perspective the US Interstate highway cost about 425 billion dollars (in "2006" dollars) to build.
So as an outsider (non US citizen, not in the USA) I wonder why not print another trillion or so to fix and build some stuff before China and the rest of the countries wise up? Would it really screw the USA much more? At least the US people would have something more tangible at the end of the day.
Oh yeah, I'm sure the main problem with an IED is overloading sensory brain parts, and that soldiers would be quite happy to not be unconscious after getting hit with an IED and losing a limb or three. They'd rather be able to soberly savour the reality of their situation and the consequences. So most would gladly give an arm and leg for such an implant.
To be fair he really appeared to be a better candidate than McCain (esp with Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate). As long as they don't reelect him like they reelected Bush...
Perhaps they should have elected Nader... But not like that was going to happen right?
The stimulation to cause orgasm may come from other parts of the body (clitoris, g-spot, etc[1]), but so far I haven't heard the uterus as one of the erogenous zones.

Soon both sides would just be AIs talking to each other.

And they might even be more intelligent than the humans they replaced

The cops might also take all your PCs and phones so you won't need those services...

That's water straight from the outsource.
Already exists: use .local
Read my post again, .local is not officially reserved.
There's a difference between using some random IPv4 address range for your private use and using an RFC1918 IP address range.
Donâ(TM)t friend them.

I proposed it to the ICANN (emailed to icann@icann.org, Esther Dyson and Vint Cerf) and later the IETF: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yeoh-tldhere-01
No luck, and I'm not rich enough to buy it (and give it to the world). Maybe Google can?
If PETA didn't want us to eat animals they should stop encouraging hot women to go nude and have the pictures published because we eat animals.
;)
Think about it... The more we eat meat the more sexy nude/semi-nude women we'll get to see? OK.... Meat buffet time!
So either they are retards or they want us to eat more meat. Perhaps they're all having cognitive issues due to dietary deficiencies?
Hey maybe Oracle should be paying some of us damages for inflicting Java on the world. ;)
AFAIK the article is probably inaccurate and the pig bladder stuff is not a hormone.

Thing is the Federal Reserve has already in effect created USD9 trillion or more ( http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=federal+reserve+trillion ).
For perspective the US Interstate highway cost about 425 billion dollars (in "2006" dollars) to build.
So as an outsider (non US citizen, not in the USA) I wonder why not print another trillion or so to fix and build some stuff before China and the rest of the countries wise up? Would it really screw the USA much more? At least the US people would have something more tangible at the end of the day.
how many kilograms of bullets I will have to carry if I want to dinner at a fancy restaurant.
Nonono, what you'd do is exchange pieces of paper that can themselves be exchanged for kilos of ammo at an ammo depot. :)

Why not put the pig on a plane. It's still a flying pig. You might even be able to train a pig to fly the plane. Pigs are quite smart.
If the pig doesn't have to be alive, just give em air-flown bacon.
Yeah everyone wants the legislation/projects with good sounding titles[1].
:).
BUT when the time comes to pay for it, hardly anyone wants to pay for it
[1] Whether they are good or not is a different matter.
A good number of them will go through 90% of all available achievements just because they are there to go through.
Is the title for completing 100% of all achievements called "Mom! Bathroom!"?
