It does still work. My, and my friends', first exposure to programming was with TI-BASIC on our TI-83+ calcs when we were in 8th grade. Assuming graphing calcs are still widely used, it seems like a very easy method of exposing first-timers to programming. Unfortunately, programming using the keypad is a huge pain, but can also be done on a computer.
There's always the "Verizon reserves the right to change this agreement at any time provided customers are notified in advance." I know it is with mine, and I'm able to terminate the agreement with no penalty if I do not agree to the terms. Then again, where the hell am I going to get Internet if not from Comcast, AT&T, or Verizon?
On that note, I'm sure it was mentioned elsewhere, but I first read it in Red Mars. What about bacteria living deep underground? Are they planning to test for that at all or are they sticking to surface life for now?
The chances of this bill leaving committee, coming up for a vote, passing in the House, coming up for a vote in the Senate, passing in the Senate, and being signed into law are so incredibly dim that I wouldn't get excited just yet.
A single person's argument? You're assuming that Lessig's side would have won the case. As if the outcome hinged on his argument and his alone. No. Supreme Court cases rely on many peoples' input. Given how many cases the SCOTUS must hear each year, they should not be required to rehear a case simply because someone did not come prepared.
In compliance with the Truth in Caller ID Act signed into law by President Obama last year, the FCC rules would fine violators up to $10,000 every time they change their caller ID information with the intent to commit harm.
You're right about Johnny not liking programming. That's what TFA is pointing out. Why fix it? Because you're never going to fill the gap between the low number of able programmers and the need for them if you don't entice kids into the field. How can you expect to engage middle and high-schoolers in programming if you stick to theory. Let them figure out they hate it in college, that's what it's there for.
Young kids probably picture Milton and his stapler when they think of computer science. How can we possibly expect to attract anybody with that image, even the ones who can program but don't know it yet?
These days, when people watch TV, they want to schedule recordings, pause, play, rewind, watch two shows at once with picture in a picture, have a stock ticker running while they watch a comedy, stream video sources, stream audio over the internet while they play a video game, make phone calls, etc. Turning what essentially a dumb disply into a smart device capable of doing that is the next logical step.
I wan't all those things, but I don't want my TV doing any of it. When I buy a computer, I don't want an all-in-one model. I want my monitor separate in the event that it breaks or I want to upgrade. The same goes for my TV.
The issue here is the use of 4G branding and advertising "4G speeds" when that phrase is completely meaningless other than "it's faster than 3G"
Just glancing at the wiki page for 4G, I can see that LTE Advanced defines a peak down speed of 1Gbps, Mobile WiMAX at 128Mbps, and with ATT's HSPA+ at 56Mbps. Just throwing the term 4G means nothing and only serves to confuse customers. It's a buzzword.
There is a lot of research suggesting that women as a whole are less adept at that sort of thing. It also makes sense as to why many men prefer directions with set distances and instructions to turn on specific streets going north, south, etc. Women on the other hand tend to understand directions when they are relative, i.e "Take a left at the dunkin donuts, drive about a mile till you get to the T intersection..."
2) The implied message of the program is to bring pirates in "out of the cold" with a blanket payment. The music industry doesn't care as they finally get something instead of nothing. They would not seek to kill this golden egg they are about to hatch.
I think it's important to note that past services have existed to bring pirates in "out of the cold" before. Internet radio, individual song purchases, etc. Yet the industry still pursues legal cases.
It's important to note at this point that it has not been confirmed that the arrested man is suspected of being involved with LulzSec by the authorities. But many observers are speculating that that could be the case.
How can you go from that to "Lulzsec suspect arrested?"
Or cash even? It takes me 2 seconds to get my wallet out. How long are you willing to wait for this app to start up and finish a transaction with the register?
Slashdot Mirror
It was lots of fun at the time. But tell me, would you like to program with switches and punchcards now that you have a keyboard?
Why would I pay for a another service that makes me watch advertisements after I've already paid? Do people not realize how ridiculous that is?

SCOTUS, understandably, simply does not have the time to hear cases twice. It's not the legal system's fault Lessig botched his argument.

Too bad for the Wii. Why should the rest of us suffer because they though 512MB of internal storage was enough?
Laptops, unlike TVs, are meant to be portable. Hence, the desktop analogy.

How does it make sense for anybody to bundle it with a TV? If I wanted an Apple TV, I'd want it to be portable, not tied to one television only.

Bombing Baghdad would have been impossible,.
Interesting times.
Assuming the bombs are detectable. I imagine stealth munitions would be the next logical goal.
I take issue with saying "machines will reach" instead of "programmers" or even "computational linguists"

Bad phrasing. When they say Amazon's cloud they really mean the customers in the cloud, not Amazon themselves.

If programmers lost their heads whenever another programmer was upset with their work, there would be no programmers left.

I was under the impression that brute forcing did exactly that. They're not using a dictionary. They're taking advantage of the GPU processing power.
They must be pretty confident that they'd win.
