But when was this? If you learned this in the 60s, then obviously that would have been the right time, but if you were learning this in the 80s, then it says quite a different thing about your high school.
Honestly the best school/computer experience I had was in Elementary school in the early 80s. It was actually quite early in computer education history for a school to have a computer in every room and computer labs, but our little country school in northern Indiana had them (Apple IIs and Atari 400/800s) and we had a couple sessions each week were we would try different programs and just experience them. They even had us writing short programs as early as 2nd grade. All the computer classes I took after that in high school and at the college level were woefully out of date and had teachers/professors who either didn't know what they were talking about or who were teaching 20 year old technologies. So if you want to compare computer education now to something before, the bar isn't very high as far as I'm concerned.
Good point, although ironically none of them charge anywhere near fast food prices.
Well, I will say this about US cell phone carriers I was happy to see how much the price of data plans have gone down in price last time I renewed. I think Verizon charges like $30/month for 2GB, which may seem insane, but compared with what they charged back when the whole ".002 cents fiasco" happened 6 years ago (About $209.71 per GB), $15/GB isn't as bad. Of course, its still quite far from what you might pay for overage at a web hosting company ($1/GB) or what you pay per GB with a OC-192 connection (maybe $0.008/GB).
Those of you wondering why they don't just use a vacuum inside the drive. Hard drive heads ride on a cusion of air (or in this case, a gas of some kind) so that they don't crash against the drive.
That's not actually true. jpg images can contain steganographic data in them just fine. For instance, there is a steganographic message in this image using steghide:
It could be that steganography didn't survive post processing. I just tested the image above by posting it to Facebook and the stego data didn't make the transfer. Maybe Blizzard developed a more hardy watermarking technique.
TFA is about a scientific experiment having to do with the dangers of driving with distracting technology in the way, so they test this theory by hooking up a bunch of distracting technology to people while they drive around in their cars and conclude that the same people who are distracted by technology are also distracted by technology. They also tested them by taking away their "hand held drug" and were amazed that they acted more agreesively.
By the way. This study was conducted by MIT in the Boston area, where there is no ban on handheld talking on the phone while driving according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The reason why cell phone bans don't work is the same reason other bans don't work, because they aren't enforced enough or at all (from what I've seen). Good people give into temptation because other people are doing it and feel they can get away with it. Take that feeling away, people would stop. Granted, I agree there would always be offenders, but not nearly as many.
Heh, that was fairly good. Never heard that one before.
You can tell from the background and hand crafted HTML that the page was written in the 90s, when there are a much higher signal to noise ratio on the Internet.

We have 100 documentation sites on client side web technologies. Hey, let's try to merge them all into one single authoritative site.

It's official: We're working on HTTP/2.0,
Eh hem, people have been working on "HTTP 2.0" since HTTP/1.1 came out. Just ask Roy Fielding and others.

That's like asking what the best fast food restaurant is.
There is a difference between marketing and sales, involving quite different skills and responsibilities....
Marketing is all about turning on the customer.
Sales is all about sucking them off.
You're right, they are different skillsets.
Haha, nice. Actually, your IPv4 one IS a good idea for people who complain about not being able to remember.
It is if you also don't provide a real e-mail address, so....
You're missing the oppurtunity to use hexidecimal characters in memorable ways in your IPv6 addresses though:
2001::FEED:FACE:DEAD:BEEF (For non-vegans)
2001::C0DA:0B0E:BA55:C1EF (For musicians)
2001::CA11:D011:FACE:BABE (For a good time)
2001::FEE1:DEAD:BABE:B00B (For necrophiliacs)
Wow, they finally recognized the Amiga as a personal computer?
I meant against the platter.

Its his only quote on wikiquote among other places: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bob_Parsons
Bob Parsons, who created GoDaddy, once said "Security is for cadavers" when giving business advice to the general public.
Actually, think this is a more obligatory XKCD:

I was actually trying to joke, but it failed miserably.
How do you get to the "newbie software selection dialog"?
Geordi La Forge's VISOR allowed him to see between 1 hz and 100,000 THz. Isn't it kinda interesting that they used a name so similar?
If I pledge $10,000, do I still get a 5 gallon bucket of duck sauce?
Heh, that was fairly good. Never heard that one before.

I think we're so used to seeing the word Hadron now that the mispelling effect (whatever you call it) doesn't work on it anymore.
