Yeah, because forcing somebody to participate in something they have no interest in doing always makes their attitude towards it *better*, right?/sarcasm
Yes, let's balance the state budget (which was very nearly balanced to begin with anyway) by cutting the funding for the worst school districts in the state. What could possibly go wrong?!
You're recommending a total newb to programming start with C or assembly and a circuit board? For most of us without infinite patience, that sounds like a sure recipe for the circuit board to get thrown against the wall after 5 hours of being horribly confused and getting nowhere...
As somebody said else around here somewhere, if we don't start working on it now, we're just going to put it off forever. And of course we'll start putting it off because nobody wants to be the ones to pay for it.
Or as I like to say, let's settle on other planets (preferably other solar systems) so that WHEN the first extinction-level event comes along it doesn't wipe us out.
Good point, although the changeover should be obvious if somebody compiles from the (presumably clean) source and gets a ~significantly different executable. And since they mirror/repo all that stuff, I would think a few vigilant people would be enough to catch it.
(Myself: I got addicted to UI consistency back when I ran NeXTstep, and it's the primary reason I try not to run Firefox or Chrome on a daily basis.
Thank *God* Firefox still allows you to disable Tabs On Top and Horrible Uni-Menu. That's also the prime reason I refuse to regularly use Chrome: They don't let you change their interface, and I hate their interface. Give me the good ol' multi-top-level, expanding menu interface I've used all my life (well, up to 2007, I suppose, but I use Open/LibreOffice to get away from that monstrosity as well).
who ever would have thought that the optimal number of clicks to buy something in would be 1?
I don't get this idea. Unless there's an easy undo functionality for the transaction, if there's real-world money involved, I always want confirmation. So 2 clicks for me, please.
You hide weapons on a toddler while going through airport security for the same reason that criminals in Kosovo or wherever hid their shit in hospitals when the bombs started falling. As soon as the "bad guys" realize that the "good guys" have a line they won't cross, the smart ones will stand just over the line and heckle.

I wasn't aware the U.S. had started either the Korean or Vietnam wars.
The thing about being a majority race...the majority tends to vote for you, all other things being equal.
"accidentally"
Yeah, because forcing somebody to participate in something they have no interest in doing always makes their attitude towards it *better*, right? /sarcasm
I actually find that I have a very difficult time focusing on programming if the music has any lyrics. Or were we talking about instrumental stuff?
Which language(s) do you currently use?
Yes, let's balance the state budget (which was very nearly balanced to begin with anyway) by cutting the funding for the worst school districts in the state. What could possibly go wrong?!

Good thing that at least 50.001% (or whatever plurality) of people wanted them in office, right? The rest can just go jump off a cliff.
As long as you don't want more than a trivial-length program, sure.

From the perspective of the sheer volume of space, radiation is all it is, mostly :)

We haven't sent a dozen automated missions already?

So what exactly did they use to force the settlement?
Because they grounded the local helicopters

Sigh.
BSD was around long before Mac OS X. Give BSD instead the credit it deserves.
Do you work for me, because if you do, you're fired.
Wow. I mean seriously. Wow. You are just hell bent on being a moron.
if you did you would realize how truly asinine you sound.
Pot: Kettle.
Okay yes, I have to admit git can get gnarly. But if they do it in the right order it should theoretically be fine.
Because doing a git push takes so much effort? They should still have all the code in their local repos.
Yeah, because everybody makes an account the first day they start reading Slashdot.</sarcasm>
I was lurking for like a full year before I registered.
