The problem is not that these body images are harmful, but that girls are trained to think that their appearance is their most important attribute.
This is not improving, this shallow culture is being promoted to men and boys as well, perhaps in order to stave off charges of sexism, but more likely it's just a realisation within these cosmetic and fashion industries that they are missing out on a potential market.
I can't stand C++ or Python (block braces or death), so how do you suggest I code cross-platform apps?
C++ and Python aren't even remotely similar to C#, Java is. Java is a far superior cross platform language than C#, which only has decent performance under Windows.
A simple trick for doing a hash map for integer keys is just to modulus each key into the size you want the hash map. So if you want to chuck a bunch of values into an array, you just go:
array[key%array.size] = value
Only problem is that I often forget what year it is when I'm under stress.
The candidate who invents as he goes and has algorithms named after him is the one you want. But the guy who hacks together a quadratic time algorithm when Google can give him a perfectly good linear one certainly isn't.
Wow, Apple charges you $99 a year subscription, and then gives you the access to their API's, the free software GCC toolchain and an IDE for free. Then they only take a 30 percent cut of everything you sell on top of that. How generous.
The problem with the social sciences, and especially psychiatry, psychology and economics, is the massive amount of influence they have over public policy. They may have good and repeatable studies that completely contradict each other, from which politicians and appointed officials then cherry pick the studies that align with their viewpoint. Don't like social welfare because of your Protestant values? Lets go with the Chicago School economics. Control freak? Lets justify increased economic control with Keynesian economics. Bigoted against Homosexuality? Let's not forget that it's a "paraphilia". We mustn't forget that moral preconceptions can and do constantly reflect in the conclusions drawn from the social sciences, far more so than any other academic area.
Perhaps we should add another dimension to the categorisation of sciences alongside the soft/hard category; hot/cool, as in headed.
QtCreator is an excellent C++ IDE in my opinion. Geany is by far what I spend most of my time using for Java and Python, it's a really good balance between full featured IDE and a text editor + console setup. I started out programming C with gvim and gcc under cygwin, at the it seemed much more intuitive to me than Visual Studio, but that was probably because it was nice and simple, and didn't hide any details from me.
How the tables have turned since the middle ages. I'm pulling this out of my ass, but I would say that the percentage of Muslims that believe in evolution are similar to Christians, Jews etc. It's just that the idiots are the ones that shout the loudest.
Don't you think that it's a cruel God that has created so much human suffering? Obviously he can't/won't prevent the harm caused by other humans like wars, genocides and famine. But how can he morally justify the famine, plagues, parasites and all the other natural abominations he has created? If I believed that the Christian God existed I would surely foresake him for all the evil he has created. The Abrahamic God behaves like a child burning ants with a magnifying glass. Jesus seems cool though.
If you ever watch women shop for shoes, you'll know that there is such at thing as "too many choices".
Pervert.
There are definitely a lot of choices, but that can easily be solved with some kind of ratings system and more metadata. Also since they are free, provided there is little time cost in adding and removing them, it doesn't really matter if you make the wrong choice from time to time.
Perhaps it's for foreign businesses to target services to Chinese businesses or citizens. If I was running a multinational I would want to make sure that my servers in all countries were secure, and this requires cryptographic communications.
If the data is important enough, it will be secure. If the data is not secure, then they will have access to it regardless of it's real world location.
So this is a step in the right direction, if a somewhat pitiful one.
I'm guessing this is more about the use of cryptography, something that is already de-facto legal for foreigners.

most people disparage them because of the stereotypes
So what you're saying is, sales and marketing need an image boost?

my scraggly brown locks do nothing to protect me
Perhaps you need to specify 'ask me biology questions in my journal'?
Probably still not specific enough.
development software is FREE.

Yeah, we should stop using the French as poster boys for fission, they have a terrible track record.

The Brits generally use the short scale billion now.
make a console calculator
import sys
print eval(sys.argv[1])
I'm sorry, but you just failed the Turing test.

Who the fuck modded this up?
Agreed, the only connection I could find between blackwater and the TSA from a cursory Google search is this thread.
WTF is a "gimbaledl"?
When you exceed 50% douchebags, and the douchebags all get along, maybe they're not the douchebags ;).
Agreed, this should have been dealt with by Wikipedia admins.
Let them try and power those planes by nothing and solar cells without the Sun :)
Hey; they could always power those panels with oil lamps.
Perhaps it's for foreign businesses to target services to Chinese businesses or citizens. If I was running a multinational I would want to make sure that my servers in all countries were secure, and this requires cryptographic communications.
If all servers have to be assembled by the ministry of supervision, foreign businesses might be a bit suspicious.
How will they?
