I'll admit that developing web apps does indeed suck. It sucks hard, but not because the actual app development sucks. That part is easy. Where I work we still do the meat and potatoes of the work with the same languages we would use for a desktop app. The only thing we use the web for is presentation and a little scripting for input -- which gets mirrored on the server anyway -- and that's the part that sucks. Mostly because browsers don't work the same way.
But customers are always right, and if they don't get what they want they'll get it somewhere else. And customers want to access an app from -- almost -- any browser, on any computer -- or mobile device -- from any location, and that's just not practical with desktop apps.
The legislation makes the creation or distribution of a computer virus without a reasonable cause punishable by up to three years in prison or 500,000 yen in fines, and the acquisition or storage of one punishable by up to two years in prison or 300,000 yen in fines.
I hope it's a bit more defined than that, because getting infected with a virus could lead up to a $3700 USD fine if it isn't.
One would think the "reasonable cause" section applies to the second clause.
No. They mean "malicious software designed to create botnets or unrightfully obtained computer passwords." The wording is certainly vague, but that wouldn't include text editor or compilers.
"It seems the targets like Lockheed Martin are starting to get softened up. This isn't the end game; there is something bigger coming down the pipe and what we are seeing right now is a prelude to that. There could be a new warfare doctrine been created. I was in that world [NATO] for so long that when it looks and feels like a Cold War, there may be something else going down."
By asserting that he is only doing this to make money, you are also guilty of making unfalsifiable statements.
Where does it even say he was supported by his parents? In the 2009 article it says he was studying for an MBA and during the week when he wasn't studying he was training. During the weekends he participated in races. Perhaps you're forgetting that he is still young enough that he doesn't/didn't have a full-time job.
What does having rich parents have to do with being good at a video game, being invited to a racing academy on your performance in the game, and then being drafted by racing teams, and then actually performing well enough to compete in one of the three most prestigious racing events in the world? Since when does buying a TV and a playstation qualify as rich?
So Nokia spends billions of R&D helping to develop wireless standards like GSM and you expect them to eat the costs? I'd hardly call that "exploitation" by Nokia.
More automotive engineers need to meet with the computer industry. Cars have always been "behind the times" when it comes to technology. Just look how long it took for AUX inputs to be come commonplace. We still don't have USB charging ports.
Upon further reflection I think sloppy code can be attributed to laziness. Laziness manifests itself in differently with different people. Some don't have good hygiene, others haven't vacuumed in months.
I can think of many colleagues in contrast to your example. I have found the opposite. In general, people who cannot keep themselves clean and their lives organized will produce sloppy code (that includes working code with unhelpful comments and obfuscated code).
The university hopes this gadget-based approach will encourage fewer students to give up on their studies.
What I don't understand is why an IT curriculum has this "theory of programming" and "computer science-y" stuff. I understand its in the UK, but over here in the US, CS = theory and programming, and IT = working for da man in the IT department doing database design and rebooting windows machines, at most hitting a little legacy cobol.
I can answer that. They're probably referring to what many schools in the US call a degree in Information Systems. IS degrees from some places are indeed glorified IT training programs. In fact the article says:
The new computing degrees have an emphasis on vocational and work-based learning
On the other hand, I majored in IS (In the US) yet my classes weren't strictly theory or "applied computing". It was a mixture. I still had to take the core programming courses (Data Structures & Algorithms, Compiler Design, Operating Systems Programming, etc.) in addition to the IT-type courses (Database Design aka SQL, Computer Networking, "Systems Analysis & Design", etc.)
All others aside, why is trash such a big deal? I was under the impression that anyone can look through anyone's trash provided it was on the sidewalk/street.

The Laws of Thermodynamics? So does that have authority over the Constitution?
IIRC, Congressional and Executive communication records are not subject to the FOIA. Governers', however, are.
Whether these plants actually ever create any energy is anyone's guess.
Without loan guarantees we would never know one way or the other.
He just disclosed that Buzz Aldrin's urine bag in one of his boots broke when he took his first step on the moon. Poor guy.

You forgot to mention the fact that the US and China are more closely tied together than the US and USSR ever were.

I wouldn't say he can't be taken seriously. Sure, take his advice with a grain of salt, but don't ignore it altogether.

Shock! Slashdot poster who didn't RTFA makes comment making it blatantly obvious that he didn't RTFA!

... "social media" experts are to blame.
And this one does a good job explaining the story behind the years-long battle.

It's much easier to let someone else go to court than to be detained for "obstruction of justice" or whatever else DHS and ICE pinned on them.

Just as it was true in the 60s, 70s, 90s, 00s and today?
in a time when the soul of music has nearly vanished.
Okay old man. Every generation since the 30s has said this about "new" music.
