Now think about what happens in 20 to 40 years from now. Is being a "web developer" still going to be the dream at that time and will it work the same way?
No, he will create the next social media platform. It will go viral. He will be the next Zuckerberg.
By the way, why many people still have a mind set that Computer Science is all about programming?
Because they are a bunch of worthless code monkeys who shit out poorly-formed PHP and HTML, and they are not smart enough to realize that there is a foundation beneath them.They are all find and dandy when all you need is a button masher to do what is essentially data entry, but ask them to create something that can't be pasted in from StackOverflow, like anything more complicated than a bubble sort, and they'll choke and die.
I only go to uni so i don't have to pay taxes. I don't need these stupid ass dumb shit teachers to teach me anything. Why should I? I have a certified IQ of 110 and these losers fucked up their whole life so bad they're stuck as teachers. They don't even know shit about the subject they're teaching. If they knew anything about it, they'd be getting paid hundreds of thousands to do it right.
Wait, this is Slashdot? I thought I had accidentally went to macrumors!
Which makes me question how unsubstantiated speculations about Apple's (maybe) new (maybe) luxury (maybe) watch is `news for nerds' or `stuff that matters'.
It was an off-hand comment that I think was ultimately retracted, but not after an extensive code freeze and audit.
It was a malicious accusation made by a crazy french guy named `Betov'.
ts;dr version: It was a malicious accusation made by a crazy french guy named `Betov'. He was a notorious shitposter on alt.lang.asm and comp.lang.asm.x86, where he frequently got into flamewars with the guy who wrote the `High Level Assembly' book and the guy who removes MASM from VS and distributes in the vain attempt that it be useful. He had some pretty strange ideas, which I shan't go into, but eventually he made his own `assembler'. (Actually, I will go into it and say it was kind of neat; dispensing with bloat like `source code' and `libraries', the IDE was supposed to disassemble the program. For trivial programs, you could actually change a lot of stuff before it broke everything.) Originally named `ReactOS Assembler', he intended it to be used by the ReactOS project. The ReactOS, having no use for a poorly written, unmaintainable piece of shit that didn't work very well, declined to use it. This thoroughly destroyed our poor frenchman and he briefly renamed it `Rose Assembler' before claiming that the 200? leak of a few of Windows's had been integrated into ReactOS by the-guy-that-was-then-project-leader-by-left-to-work-for-Apple. After proven false, he claimed that something like 100 lines of assembly had been taken from disassembled Windows code (thread handling perhaps, but I don't recall). After the project marched on (for very small definitions of march, lololol, it's practically dead), he eventually dropped off my give-a-fuck meter and presumably no longer exist.
My hands are burned every time I stick them in the fire. Perhaps I could infer that the fire is what's burning my hands? NOPE CORRELATION EXCLAMATION POINT EQUALS CAUSATION LOL LOL LOL!!!
Forex is more manipulated than an abused child but millions still think they are going to outsmart all the central banks in the world and bet their retirements on it.
No thanks. It takes forever to load, it looks like shit, and its generally terrible.
Now take that stupid popup thing that tells me to go to the mobile site. If I want to see your shitty social-web2.1-scalable-turnkey-webdesigner-solution I'll go to the god damn site myself. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed.
winapp2.ini is not property of Piriform. It is a separate project by other people and even notes the compatibility with BleachBit as a feature. Piriform is just being a bunch of assholes. Fuck them.
No other country in the world puts up with this shit...why do we????

The Singularity does not judge. The Singularity does not predict. The Singularity is the absence of prediction, the point at which all conjecture must end, for nothing can be decided past this point.
Ponder this, and you too can become The Singularity.
Bravo! By denouncing society as stupid you have proven yourself a profound intellectual and are hereby welcomed to Slashdot! It is truly a shame that a mindless rant of such quality is allowed to sit at -1.
Perhaps it made more sense in Chinese; perhaps they are like the Japanese and insert random English words that they find lying about into things they want to look trendy.
Actually, it's the opposite: more internet is good for you. For example, The Wired turned Lain into a god. Personally, the internet has transformed me into a being of superhuman intelligence; induced by the heated intellectual arguments that only the internet can provide. Following health advice from wise sages on blogspot has brought me to the pinnacle of human fitness as well. Exposure to great amounts of East-Asian media has left me a cultured man of refined tastes and deeply philosophical places such as Tumblr have opened my eyes to the discrimination that fat people face and the hetero-normative agenda to keep the genderqueer down. My productivity at work is much higher than my peers, as I may freely sip from the great fountains of knowledge that are the various SEO'd sites that I may copy things from. I have entered over thirty thousand entries into my HOSTS file and my computer blazes past the tired machinery the commoners use. Before finding the Internet, I was barely a man, but a long abandoned 28.8 kpbs US Robotics Softmodem changed my life.
If by $5/month you mean $30/month for anything worth spending money on, sure.
As opposed to trying to host a site with DynDNS and changing the port every month? His only triumph is that he managed to make it completely free (apparently his time is worth nothing).
It would be hard to do worse than his current set-up for any amount of money.
Half the businesses I apply to can't view my projects because all consumer IPs are blocked by default by their "porn and hacking" filters.
They probably should ignore you anyway because it is entirely unprofessional, what you are doing.
All this is free to me. Free DNS service through DynDNS, free net access (bundled into rent), free electricity (bundled into rent), free computer (older computer I had no use for). I had to turn off encrypted connections because people kept complaining that Firefox wouldn't load my page when I was using a self-signed certificate. [...] How else can I have complete control over my site and get to tinker with my custom server software?
A VPS costs, like, 5$ a month these days. If you want to run a commercial service then stop being such a damn tightwad. If you hadn't used <quote> correctly I would have sworn that you were commodore64_love.
Because some people might think it a bad idea to leave storage units full of the latest and greatest instruments of death lying around unguarded on the ocean floor. Those people might not have a problem with a bunch of helmets and first-aid kits being treated that way though.
Posting garbage on the internet would be a State make-work program to prevent school shootings, deviant sex, unemployment, and to generally keep people out of trouble[1] as well.

Is there no end to the level of cognitive dissonance that you are willing to accept to preserve your image of your idol?

Clearly, reputation matters less than you say.
Or it could them inspire them to fight harder to win out of spite. This is a total non-issue.
Wrong again, retard; they have a monopoly on mailboxes for delivery by USPS. If FedEx wants to set up a mailbox system, they are free to do so.

That's a small issue. Most popular MMOs have `private' (or, `pirate', as the terms are used interchangeably) servers.

Things are going to get messy in ways we can't predict.
That, grasshopper, is The Singularity.

Though it's not on the 1st page, I like 123systems, if only because they have relatively good uptime.
Half the businesses I apply to
sounds alot like a proposal to me.
