Most likely they won't make any money from interest. The money comes from selling the phone at MSRP instead of discounted or even from the marketing budget as it really is an alternate (but more consumer friendly) way of locking you in for 2 years. Charging a separate line item for interest would be silly from a marketing perspective.
Software doesn't age. But people's expectations do. You can still play Asteroids on an Atari 2600. But that doesn't mean most people would want to given the choice of that or more current games.
I'm pretty sure I don't want congress dictating which games are produced. I don't see a problem with the current way we get and pay for games. If people want a game, they pay for it. If not they don't pay. Forcing someone to pay for a game they don't want is inefficient and unfair. If someone voluntarily pays for a game they want that's reasonable. If that cost can be divided among all the people willing to pay that is even more efficient. That division of cost among the willing is the main benefit of copyright law.
There is a fault with copyright law but it isn't in the portion dealing with popular works currently in production/sale. The major faults lie in abandoned works and inefficient division of ownership. For example, the original creators have died and you have to find all of their second or third generation descendants and convince them all to agree to a contract before you can legally use the work.
... and invest in your own country. You can't be an exporter only nation forever, you have to let your people become consumers as well. That will help your country the most.
A good algorithm in an interpreted language will beat a bad algorithm in C or even assembly (for sufficient quantities of data). That's the point of an algorithm class.
The best use of comments I've seen is as a "user's guide" to functions and procedures that are meant to be used by others, essentially defining the API and relevant notes.
An especially good style guide will also include rationales for why they chose particular ways of doing things. A good example is the Ada Style Guide (it's an industry standard).
Do you mean from day one to day 30 or all days excluding the first 30 days (i.e. after 30 days)? The first step to solving any problem is making sure the specification is unambiguous and intended.
Why wouldn't an electrician have documentation about where they worked? They should include a clause in their contract for removal of excess pieces and parts or leave them with the customer.
For the second one is just says sort the array, it doesn't say it has to be optimal or original. How many good programmers do you know wouldn't be able to come up with any sorting algorithm whatsoever? It doesn't even have to be from memory. In fact, if they could create it from scratch that's even better.

Do a search on their website for prepaid.
It is still there, according to their webpage. You have to go to the prepaid plans section to see it.

The last football game I really got into was Tecmo Super Bowl. Damn I'm old.
I offer my services as CEO. I might fail, but I'd be willing to do it at half the price.
I concur. What the hell are they talking about?
Lol @ losing daylight. The sun doesn't care how we name our rotation with respect to itself. We'll get the same amount daylight regardless.
It was a paper form.
When I applied for my first full time job I believe I put something like "Market Rate".
In other words, you pay them not for what they do, but for the stupid stuff they could do but don't.

TIOBE counts page hits, not page searches. Searching on a language will not make it go up in the list.
That being said, out of curiosity, what intrigued you about Ada enough to do a search on it? And what made you decide that it wasn't for you?

Why can't you use a scripting language to implement optimized algorithms?
I think perhaps you missed the point of the course. The value is in the algorithm itself, not the implementation details.
Even if everything you said is true, they could still make more money from paid legal downloads than if they didn't give that option.

Programming is a craft, and every good craftsman knows the value of good tools.

Good luck getting Windows 8 to run on your 386.

That's exactly the way you disprove a generalization.
