Yes but isn't there enough history about the internet that says "Don't click links from people you don't trust?". Not that pretty much anyone hasn't broken that rule at one time or the other.
Immorality is much easier to excuse when you believe there is a divine order to things. When someone is poor, or suffering or has had a bad run of luck, belief in a divine plan makes it easy to see that as deserved, instead of unfortunate. When someone is rich, powerful and/or fortunate, you're more likely to see them as superior and deserving of their good fortune if you are religious.
Every time you hear someone thank god that for answering their prayers and blessing them with something, keep in mind that intrinsically behind that statement is the idea that god has made a judgement call and found them deserving of having their prayers answered. It's a round about way of saying "God chose this for me, because he thinks I deserve it." It always rubs me as subtly arrogant to imply that whatever good fortune you are enjoying isn't simply good fortune, but it's a reward you earned because god found you deserving of it, and thusly found everyone else who doesn't receive that same thing, undeserving.
I think people tend to have that view regardless of religion. Religion just shifts it toward god being the cause rather than people.
This american like cars rather than buses because I like a 20 minute commute, not an hour and a half. Not even sure buses have a connecting route to where I live anymore.
And still required for some DOD development. I like Ada, if you can get it to compile it may still have a crap ton of bugs but it rarely if ever crashes...
Science creates a model of the real work that works under certain contains and may or may not work well under others. Similar to a scale that measures very accurately between 50 and 300 pounds but doesn't work so well under 10 pounds or over 1000 pounds. One of the biggest problems I've had with science is assuming theories will work under all conditions.
Creativity tends to go a different direction with mainstream. When peer-review is important do you really want to contradict or say something different from your peers?
Well it was a quickly typed and not exceptionally carefully worded post, don't usually have the time for those. By basic skills I'm talking about how to make java compile and what is object oriented code. These things I can fairly easily translate into other languages and then learn the more advanced stuff with real experience.
6. You'll need good communications to talk with the requirements developers who gave you little more than "make it work" and then complain when it doesn't work the way they imagined it.
One problem with shifting from theory to practical application is there is so damn much of it. After 10 years in the field I know a ton of theory but I'm learning new practical application nearly every day. Though the engineering courses were rather good at 3 hours a week of theory and the rest of the week of lab assignments with "go build it".
Yes most of the self taught programmers I've known are very competent. Most of them are not as disciplined and it requires a fair amount of discipline to put up with a painful degree for four years. Admittedly I've also known some very disciplined self taught programmers and very undisciplined college graduates.
I found it worthwhile. Statistics, logical math, differential equations, basics of Java, Network Communications, Operating Systems, Microcontroller and FPGA design, assembly, and I can't remember the other courses I use regularly. Of course I didn't pay nearly $80k for the four years.
Start at a community college and transfer to a low price state college. At the college I went to a one year internship that was part of the degree payed for all four years (though not books or any living expenses). I will say after that was done, 50 hours a week seemed like a vacation.
Where I work there was one person hired without a college degree and the only way we were able to have him work for one of our major customers is because he was going to school while working. May be slightly different working in the avionics industry though (a lot of things are in many painful ways).
There are too many things that an employer is looking for from a degree that has nothing to do with coding. Ability to follow through with a royally painful task, well rounded as in able to communicate clearly and plenty of other things.
Do colleges actually teach useful skills? I got the very basics out of my college and the rest I learned on an internship and on the job. I do think colleges could be improved but I'm not smart enough to say how.
Tried it a couple times on my non apple phone and it is still uploading. I just don't use a networked camera for anything I don't want anyone else to see.
Climate has always changed, the concept of "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it.
You mean, the same way as asteroids of various sizes have impacted into the Earth throughout the history of the planet, and "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it?
Yes, I agree.
Well yeah, the last couple of major asteroid impacts above Russia just broke a few windows.
At the moment, dark matter is just a place holder in equations to make the equations match observations. It remains to be seen if the placeholder will one day be observed or the equations need to be rewritten (if just slightly) to match actual observations.

Ah yes, job security by other's idiocy. Makes you wonder what the world would be like if people followed instructions.
Ah but a 2 month old kid may be breast feeding so the store has to make sure the mother isn't drinking the alcohol! Think of... never mind.

Also did the cops in those incidents even notice the cameras on them?
Well that's your fault.
Bah... Iraq soldiers killed by US allied forces.
Estimates of the number of Iraq solders killed appear to be more than 23,730 deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

Yeah, do a 5 year engineering/CS course in 4 years and there is no free ride in any of it.

Similar engineering, orders of magnitude larger and more powerful.
