I'd be inclined to say the same thing about millennials. "Fuck them" as a generation.
They're self-centered and think they're entitled to the kinds of things everyone else has had to work for. I've come across a few millennials who seem to confuse ambition for wanting more stuff. They have this pretentiousness about them, that they're smarter than everyone who's come before, merely because they've played with more gadgets; and they're delusional, convinced they've got all the answers to fixing the world, like nobody in the history of the world hasn't already thought of all their ideas and have realized that they aren't necessarily practical or effective.
Most of the people I know defaulting on $500k (or more) mortgages were/are people my age. People too stupid to see the writing on the wall, and made an idiotic investment.
As for taking away SS and Medicare, sure. But when you do, who's going to feed, clothe and care for the old bastards? The Gen X'ers will, because the boomers are our parents.
Sure, they've got some Terminator in the sky, who's faster, more powerful, and will not stop, until you are dead.
The problems is, it seems like they are more concerned with image than actually making something that is reliable. I'm not sure quality control exists there. And if it does, it's piss-poor at best.
They maybe lamborghini's of the sky, but I'll be happy cruising my them in my '68 Mustang while they're stuck on the side of the freeway.
I'm sure that here in the U.S., part of the strategy for not exposing such data, is for national security reasons.
Oh, I know what you're thinking, I'm going to argue the point the the U.S. government has our best interest at heart by trying to protect some national secrets or 'skunk works' projects. Quite the contrary.
I can almost guarantee that we've spent far more than that in a 5-6 month period.
If the people actually knew where their hard earned money is going, and the thing's it's funding (i.e., lining pockets) there is the potential of a National Security risk, from within. You're going to piss off allot of people, and either insinuate a riot or risk your job as a money grubbing pocket liner!
By keeping us in the dark, happy and ignorant, they can keep on misappropriating funds and do whatever-the-hell they want.
You know what, I'm probably wrong. I'm assuming the average American is like myself and actually cares where their money goes and what their government is doing TO them, rather than FOR them.
I usually sway to the Red, however I must say that this Senator has earned my respect by standing up for what do you call it? You know, that thing this country was supposedly built upon and champions, oh yeah Freedom!
So, will it also warn me that by reading the ever urgent disaster warning about the catastrophic road failure while driving will then cause another catastrophe?
Even if the JCP dissolves, many developers will be left with few alternatives,' with.Net offering little advantage, and Perl, Python, and Ruby unable to match Java's performance.
I'm glad to see a logical argument on the portability of [Objective-]C[++]. These languages surpass Java's performance, and although they are compiled as the parent has stated, just as portable, and even more distributable than Java.
I think the reason people are 'shaking in their boots' about Java, is that there are tons and tons of developers that only know Java. Big business will have shot themselves in the foot by hiring cheap labor that is a 'one trick pony', as opposed to hiring highly skilled OBJ/C/C++ developers. And on the flip side, said Java developers will have to re-train.
It's simply amazing to me the over abundance of languages there are to get a job done, often the same job, simply because people are too afraid to learn languange like C/C++.

I'm surprised to see that some Programming Language flame-war has started yet.
Oh wait, it's still early.

I couldn't agree more!
As a Gen X'er....

Your Liberal Overloards require that you relinquish your civil liberties at the border.
Yes, mod me down because I'm not a liberal. Thank you.
Day -1 would probably have had to be the most boring day, if there was anyone around to experience it.
So much for the 1st Amendment

Good thing it's actually reading the source code, and that I have a volume nob.
Two groups of people that will definitely overlook this one; Unix admins, and coders.
Someone should have told them they could download a Linux distro for free.

On a side note, they'll be tasty and fresh in a jiff too!

My Linksys is fueled by coffee. I don't have these issue......

So, then the Anti-Hydrogen bomb would be sort of an oxymoron then?
It's a great accessory to their 'Fixies'.
That's it. I'm boycotting COICA Cola

I find it also interesting that the article just above this on slashdot is titled "How Much Math Do We Really Need?".
I clicked to view the comments on this article out of curiosity to see how many people would be talking about the marijuana prop.
It's a scary time indeed.
It's also a dangling carrot of hope for those of us who forgot to be born into money.
Today we'll see high's in the mid-70's, sunny with a chance of showering human tissue.
Freedom of expression is what I tell you it is.
