that he's put all of his eggs in this basket? If he comes out with nothing (which is likely), he'll have nothing to show for it and have such a infamous name no one will want to sign anything with him ever again. I think he jumped for a golden rope without looking down to see how far he'd fall if he missed.
And I'm guessing you fall into the latter half of that sentence, or something of the sort? Scheme's problem isn't just parenthesis spam - it's all cars, cdrs, and all that other fun procedural stuff within the parenthesis spam that makes the "Learning" part of this all the more difficult.
"... there is finally a real world example of using Scheme to write Android applications that others can inspect."
You mean as long as there aren't any 10-deep or more nested expressions in the code or you've messed around with.emacs files a lot. Otherwise, Scheme becomes rather un-inspectable. I'm having some disturbing flashbacks from my undergrad days as I write this.
when I could just order them from home? I mean, I obviously am not going to go there and spend the coins or something. Perhaps they don't allow overseas orders?
Apple has taught the world how to capitalize on fanboy mentality.
Wanna know who has an even larger fanboy base lying in the weeds? Think back to your childhood - Nintendo, Super-Nintendo, 64 games... Don't you miss those? Wouldn't you love to play some of those again on the go?
Imagine: "New Feature to 3DS: all Nintendo games from older systems - $5 a pop."
Guess what would happen to 3DS sales then? Shoot, they could even sell them on the iPhone if they wanted to go that route.
The fact that Nintendo doesn't tap into this full-throttle is, and continues to be, the strangest enigma in free-market capitalism I have ever seen.
They'll forgive technology once they remember how well it helps them track down those who rioted. And then help them prosecute. And then help them build profiling and monitoring software for riot prevention. And....
Yeah. No offense to the Slashdot community, but a lot of the thinking and philosophies of government intelligence (i.e. NOT having things open and freely disseminated) might seem a little bit foreign. Just because we don't have 20 links posted already to what the West doing about this, doesn't mean they aren't doing something about it.
Agreed. Even though shale oil endeavors (converting a not-yet-ripe version of oil to the oil we know and love) has been a bust repeated times, once the price of oil goes up high enough, the US (particularly Colorado - having the highest concentration of it in the world) will be the world's leading oil source and producer.
And who gets to decide when job candidates are "equal" when it comes to discrimination lawsuits? I'll give you a hint, it's not the hiring employer. This leads to hiring managers erring big time on the side of caution, because the potential cost of such a lawsuit (frivolous or otherwise) is too great.
goes bye-bye. No reason to use it (or pay for it) when I can just connect to Joe Bob's unencrypted home network across town while sitting at starbucks without a sign-in.
You usually can make a reasonably good guess as to which books will most certainly not be useful later on in your career (which in my experience I guessed pretty accurately, and the numbers were pretty high - social sciences and English anyone?). I would much rather deal with the likes of Amazon over the exorbitant book pricing and buy-back policies of university bookstores.
This is just one of many examples of how many educational methods in general have fallen behind the times, so I applaud them for trying to fix it. This problem actually shows up in college, and even grad school (I'll attest to first-hand), though obviously in different ways than in grade school. I long for the day when educational systems take a more proactive attitude toward addressing this problem, and take more responsibility towards preparing their students for the "here and now".
I think this would help with the licensing fee aspect, but not for royalty percentages. I can't see how you could assess those to any appreciable degree without being accused of over-regulating the free market.

...the difference between open source and a proprietary model is to allow people to be idiots? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Satellite companies/government agencies is one sector that could use this. They gather terabytes' worth of new data every day.
But that requires going to a computer to get it. Once you're at computer, you've got email, internet, etc.., and this whole discussion is moot.
Ummm... what about us that don't have a smartphone and don't want one? The data plan is much more than any texting plan (thought not by as much now).
...the next time they think about overpricing their consoles.
...except this time a person was actually arrested by the FBI.

It may not be the US, but I'm guessing someone will bite on this.

Yeah, previous comment was based on misinformation there.
I believe you might run into Constitutional problems with the government completing with the free market.

People want the end product, but no one wants to know how it's made. True in many contexts.

Sorry, should have read that closer - for patent invalidation, no, but for fights on who gets a patent, yes.
