Hardly billions. The technology that goes into fibre lasers is very cheap and efficient. My guess is that this was made form mostly off the shelf components.
I will take well written procedural code over poorly implemented OO any day... not to mention that I can't remember a single time where I refactored and the LOC wasn't significantly reduced.
Or maybe the blogs were being blocked at many schools, businesses and libraries limiting their usefulness and by proxy having much of their non-sex content censored....
Even if we had a full out nuclear exchange during the height of the cold war the majority of humans would survive. What do you think will take to end it?
Yes I think it is an important aspect of human nature- it's just how you channel it. Below is an interesting article about anger an creativity, I know that I can be kind angry when working on a difficult problem and I call it my 'mental razor'. http://www.scientificamerican....
I would say it is much less likely- the escape velocity of Mars is half that of Earth's and the thick atmosphere would keep many smaller fragments from leaving orbit.
Finally had him diagnosed in the 3rd grade with HFA and PDD. Psychologist suggested putting him on 5 different drugs (no thanks!). They tested him and he scored a 70 on an IQ test.
We did get special services in school and he was in special ed for most of his classes, mostly for the benefit of smaller classes- however didn't pursue anything outside of the school. I don't think any study has shown therapy to be useful or effective and there is too much profit motive involved.
He has been raised the same way as our 'regular' son with the same expectations for behavior and family contributions. Any 'odd' behavioral issues that I thought would greatly hamper his ability to function in society are discouraged.
He seems to have grown out of a lot of the issues he was having, he is a sophomore now and has been in honors math his second year and in regular classes. No close friends yet but there are a few kids he goofs around at school.
So here is one anecdote about a hands off approach.
I have two uncles who are farmers- both earned agricultural degrees at Cornell and both of them were one of the first business people I knew that incorporated computers in their livelihood. They cows wore radio tags and had automated systems to control how much the cows were fed and tracked milk production in addition to a variety of other things that are a part of farming. This was in the 80's. It is hard for me to imagine there are many successful farmers left that aren't technologically savvy.
If they are going to do this for CS they may as well do it for music. Musical notation and I suppose math are the only two notation systems that are consistent in any culture. (I don't particularly agree with the premise of the OP)
Slashdot Mirror
A similar system was developed for about 40 million

So the answer is ~.04 'billions'
Similar system for 40 million dollars.

Is it just me or are /. passive aggressively feigning stupidity today?
Actually phasers leave a trail so moviegoers can follow the action in battles.

A burst from an A-10 main machine gun costs hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Nothing important should go on facebook!
Licenses and license plates originated as a form of tax, although I agree they offer various forms of social control.

It's an IQ test, and they failed!
The important thing to consider though is what the size of the therapeutic dose compared to a hazardous dose.
Our Corgi chewed up my entire GOT collection but won't touch an e-reader.

There are almost no private venues that are literally censorship free so the dictionary usage of the term is trivial in this context.
But not in the constitutional freedom of speech sense. Not sure why this is even news.
The NYT doesn't publish racy advertisements or articles either. Because they are Evil!
Google owns these servers and the web address and may do what they want with them.

The compelling argument is having your code base in a single language. SPA applications don't require much from the service layer anyway....
Yeah right- what does this statistic even mean? If you are around people with measles and you haven't been vaccinated you have nothing to worry about?
My oldest son was quite different from the start.

Make sure you file off the front sight so it doesn't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up your ass.
