I would LOVE for you to find some way to introduce your students to it also. It is because of a math teacher that exposed me to it that I have my career.
My point is just like NFL players you are not necessarily going to turn out more programmers. You are right genetics do not determine everything but they have a very, very large influence. Certainly everyone should be exposed to it just as I had that opportunity.
My whole class in high school was taught how to program. The dirty little secret though is genetics play a key role and only a couple of us had any aptitude for it. Most people can be taught to program in some fashion only a few however will every be any good at it.
It is a phone, I have been a iPhone user for years and soon as upgrade time comes I will buy another one. The bottom line is it has never failed me, it stays up to day and it just plain fucking works. If you love your droid fine, be happy with it.
Not really all that hard I would imagine, take a smaller capacity magazine and just cut around it just below the mag well. Epoxy, crap weld, solder, bolt etc some sort of crappy box construction junk on the bottom and you have a fully functional mag. The only part of a mag that has any sort of tolerances is the feed ramp and catch portions the rest is just a box and a spring.
I value my brain enough not to feel the need to alter it with chemicals natural or synthetic. I do however fully support your desire to alter your own in any way you see fit. At the end of the day it simply makes me more competitive not only at work but in life as well. "Smoke it if you got it"
Obama and the Democrats can raise taxes just as high as they like. What the sheeple that voted for them do not realize is that when they raise it 10% the middle class and poor will be paying that, not corporations and not the rich. You can play the raise the tax game all you want that gets immediately pushed into loss of work hours, layoffs, price increases, offshoring etc.
This is really the case in a bad economy with already poor employment numbers and ample people willing to work anything that comes their way.
Certainly and we all have seen this but it is extremely rare. Not long ago we had a junior guy on one of my teams that kept messing up a certain task thus labeled a idiot. So I pulled him aside and we went over the task and created a method for him to follow that would ensure success. He started using this and from that day forward he performed it without fail.
I have been in IT for nearly 25 years now and have learned a few things along the way. The first rule is that most employees referring to others as idiots, turkeys, incompetent etc need to look first in their own seat.
It is generally a reaction I expect from a dev or sysadmin covering his own faults by passing blame to others. I find most people just want to do what they where hired to do and do it well and given the proper chance and assistance will do just that.
In the last 5 - 10 years though it is generally a result of understaffing and insane deadlines causing less than desired results.
Romney and Bain Capital do not have time to worry about a simple presidential loss. Obama won they have to swing into full outsourcing sales mode which will not be very, very easy. You see Romney and Bain did not loose, they won and won big.
Hey no need for attacks, and far from unemployed and far from being a small gamer company. Hey I am not knocking scala if you want to write in it go ahead. I am just saying it does not exactly have a long proven history as of yet. Just like I love node.js it is bad ass, however I would hesitate to run it in a critical production system as I have experienced instability with it. Just sayin I tend to play it a bit safer when it comes to production work.
No he is correct it is why iphone apps smoke the android apps for performance. The overhead introduced by java just means you need at least 20% more cpu,ram etc just to get equal performance.

The word genetics != race, get it?
Actually one was black so what is your point?

Us old timers used to play with something similar called a spin welder. Not exactly plastic extrusion but not that far off.

Just apply some Obama logic, really it is "not a tax", because I said so.
This is one of those times when I wish I had mod points. "spot on my friend, spot on"
Most of the time the person claiming the code is crap is the one I find to be most to blame.
Rule number 1 I do not carry a weapon to scare anyone, if I have to pull it you can be 100% certain I have already decided I am pulling the trigger.
I flip the safety off and squeeze the trigger it works it needs no improvement.
No thanks, will not get a click from this guy.

Having worked with the seals on more than one occasion I assure you that the majority of them "are not human".

Ready to assist, make check payable to me.
