  6. Show your code on How Does a Self-Taught Computer Geek Get Hired? · · Score: -1

    If you are a good dev., you can show your code on github or any similar repository. This should be enough, at least for those who care on code and not only in papers.

    I am watching on TV and following on Twitter how River Plat Club loose premier league status. There are multiple fires at the stadium, general looting, and Twitter is adding a new dimension to this mess.

  8. Disney on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    @Glendale, CA.
    But it must be before Jun 18 that I go back to Argentina. I am a the "website factory" and it is very cool, but there are also a lot of different sections in the same block and the block in front of that. Email me at sbassi gmail if you like the idea.

  9. I saw both Tron on Tron: Legacy · · Score: 1

    When I watched Tron Legacy I had the same feeling I had when I watched the original Tron when I was 8: The feeling of being lost.
    Most close experience of that was when I watch Matrix for the first time.
    The sound was EPIC!!!!

  10. US centered date on 'Tron: Legacy' Director Explains the Tron World · · Score: 1

    This site has an international readership, so ./ should state that it comes out Friday in the US. In Argentina, I will watch it tomorrow :)

  13. TiddyWiki on How Do You Organize Your Experimental Data? · · Score: 1

  14. This should not be news! on Israel Blocks iPad Imports, Citing Wi-Fi Transmission Regulations · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That is pretty common in a lot of countries.
    In Argentina, if you import a device with a plug different from our official plug (in size and shape), the import can be rejected.
    Even if you could buy a cheap adapter in order to make it work (provided that the voltage is compatible), you are banner for importing until you request a device with the right plug.
    So some people end up paying bribes to enter such a devices.

  15. Best book ever (for CS graduates) on Learning Python, 4th Edition · · Score: 1

    I liked this book (at least first ed., the one I read).
    This book made me love Python. But I found it too hard for my colleagues at work (most of them biologists who were never exposed to programming), so I decided to write my own book (tinyurl.com/biopython )
    I think "Learning Python" is a must have for the seasoned programmer who wants to learn Python.

  16. Re:Too wordy on Learning Python, 4th Edition · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is because Python has a large standard library (so called batteries included).
    Regarding paying per page, as a book author I can confirm that you are paid per page only if you accept to typeset the book (with LaTeX). That is a one time payment appart from royalties. If you don't typeset, you don't get paid by page, just have to follow the contract that says between xxx and xxx pages (where xxx are limits).

  17. Re:So, pat down for **children** on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I am not native in English.

  18. So, pat down for childs! on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Body scanners are optional, if you refuse, you get a pat-down search.
    But some pat-dows may constitute sexual assault:

    This may be a catch-22 for TSA :)

  20. Very common for US troops in foreign soil on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 2, Informative

    In countries like Paraguay, Argentina and others in South America, this is pretty standard. Now (since very few years) with left governments immunity is being revoked.
    From 2005 in Paraguay:

    "the U.S. troops in Paraguay could not be taken before the International Criminal Court if they were accused of crimes against humanity, genocide or war crimes. "

    In Argentina, joint naval exercises like Unitas are cancelled because our government don't want to give immunity to US army.

    The flying master of Anakin (don't remember his name now) a "troyariam" or something like this, was criticized because racism against jews. (for his nose, and that he always wanted money).

  23. Re:Ask one difficult question on What Questions Should a Prospective Employee Ask? · · Score: 1

    if you are asked to leave unexpectedly (laid off or fired) you may not be allowed to collect your chair/keyboard/etc and take it with you.

    While I agree with most of your comment I don't understand why do you think that a worker can't take this property after being laid off:

  24. Wikipedia in Spanish (ES) is even worst on Why the Photos On Wikipedia Are So Bad · · Score: 1

    ES.WP doesn't apply "fair use". See this: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman

  25. Isn't this just a level editor? on How To Teach Programming To Kids, Via XBox · · Score: 1

    If it is all this "programming" done with a controlpad (or joystick), it doesn't look like a real programming tool. Looks more like a level editor to me. Prove me wrong.
    BTW, the guy who wanted a mouse to program may be interested on this.
