There is no Admiral Grace Hooper. There was, however, an Admiral Grace Hopper, who has a few things (including Hopper Hall at Dam Neck), named after her.
An open stack for social networking would allow anyone to use any social networking tool to interact with all the others. Can't find the game you like on anything but Facebook? Stick with Facebook, but you'll also be able to interact with people who don't want Facebook accounts, because they don't care about games.
An open stack allows all the services to interact, exchange events, status updates, pictures, etc.
You shut off that functionality as soon as the screen timeout is reached, and the screen shuts off. Then you simply update the widgets again when the screen is activated -- that way you're not continually updating the widgets when nobody's looking at them.
Do NOT attempt to transport a gun through any NY airport. You WILL be arrested. NY and MA both ignore FOPA 86. They don't care a whit about the federal laws that govern transport of weapons, and unless you've got tons of money to fight it in federal court, you'll lose that battle.
Theories are generally illustrated with code, in class or in lecture notes.
Knowledge of those theories is generally tested by proving ability to write code that uses them. At least that has been my experience in undergraduate CS.
Maybe it's different in grad school -- but I doubt it. My point was that it's assumed a CS professor can code -- it's pointless to discuss theories you don't know how to use.
There aren't a whole lot of people out there like the two you refer to.
The poster I was replying to didn't understand what CS is. It's a common misunderstanding among people who haven't been taught -- they can write programs all day long, but don't understand what they're doing or how it works. Or why math is so important.
And "effete" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Computer Science is math. Many people confuse computer science and programming -- the two are not the same.
A programmer is not necessarily a good Computer Scientist.
A Computer Scientist should always be a good programmer -- it's one of the core skills in CS.
Doing research and writing compilers is not the only thing CS people do.
Knowing and understanding Assembly language can greatly improve the code you generate. That knowledge can be critical to optimizing the algorithms you use in your code, whether you actually code anything in assembly or not.
Learning to analyze algorithms is a critical skill. I didn't say anything about formal proofs, but if you don't know how to do the formal proofs, you don't understand the underlying concepts.
Yeah -- it's a bad idea. The 5.56 chamber actually has a bit more "slop" in it to make sure it chambers okay even if it's a little dirty, but the external dimensions of the cartridge are the same. There's a post a bit up the page that explains it in better detail than I did.
Moridin -- you beat me to it, and you're almost completely correct. The only quibble I have with what you posted is that a 5.56 NATO round will fully chamber and the bolt will fully close on it, even in a.223 chambered weapon (I've seen it done) -- and that's what makes that combination so dangerous.

Neither have I.
It's not like anyone here can't find it.

You've completely missed the point.

It's Android. The UI's already built.
What a ridiculous policy.
Ever heard of a tagout bill?

Crazy talk!
The point is to get hobby devs (like me) who are stuck on older hardware up to developing for 2.0 and 2.1.

I take it you're pretending to be dense.
CS is a branch of mathematics, it is not the sum total of all math.
There are mathematicians who don't work in the branch of mathematics we call Computer Science.
Any mathematician should be able to learn to program.
I would never take a CS course from a professor who couldn't code.
LOL

Go back and hide under your bridge.
calculation of offsets and addresses in Assembler?
Just the first thing that comes to mind.
Being self-taught, you've missed our entire discussion on math.
Nobody's talking about adding and subtracting numbers here.
I said CS is math.
A Computer Scientist who can't program is lacking in his education and crippled in his field.

Again, coder vs. Computer Scientist.
Hex is how you represent machine language, it's also critical for doing anything in Assembly.
If you don't have at least a basic understanding of how both work, you're missing out on a significant part of the field.
No, not really. This is the difference between a coder and a Computer Scientist.
