Yes, let's stop buying stuff from China. I'm sure they'll thank us Americans for enlightening them about the cruelty of their government when they lose their job and come home to a hungry family.
Here grass is still growing,
And leaves are yet swinging,
The white water flowing,
And elves are yet singing
Come! Tra-la-la-lally!
Come back to the Valley!
The stars are far brighter
Than gems without measure,
The moon is far whiter
Than silver in treasure:
The fire is more shining
On hearth in the gloaming
Than gold won by mining,
So why go a-roaming?
O! Tra-la-la-lally
Come back to the Valley.
One thing that baffles me is that we take people who are good at engineering, and as a reward for their skill we put them in a management position which requires a totally different skill set. People want to move up the corporate ladder to feel like they're succeeding at their career, but we need to keep management ladders and engineering ladders separate. Good engineers need to be put in valued positions that require good engineers.
Calculus class is not. You can teach a monkey to take derivatives and integrate. But students struggle because on the exam, they'll have to do a lot of algebra and mathematical trickery to get to the simple parts. When students come out, they're far more mathematically mature, I noticed this a lot when tutoring students. That mathematical maturity is essential to being a good programmer. You could develop that with a class simply on mathematical puzzles (something less practical than discrete). But why not teach them calculus as a side benefit?
Here they had built up this poor young planet to be something of worth. They were promising all kinds of fame and fortune, telling her to leave behind her friends and family and devote herself to being the next Earth. The crazy parties, the celebrities endorsing her, they built up her dreams of fame, and gave up any other kind of success. Now they dump her dry because they ended up making some mistakes in their data analysis. All she's got left now is a lingering coke addiction. Don't you see they used her up and rang her dry? She had so much potential to be special in some other way, but now she'll just be remembered as another failure, probably turning tricks in the dark corners of the galaxy. We need to keep these hype monsters away from our planets.
The system doesn't have to be perfect. The overwhelming majority of papers published are never cited. And, and least when I cite a paper, I've usually read it pretty thoroughly, so if what they were saying was really all that wrong, I suspect I'd run into some conflicts with my own work.
The total sum of all published papers is not an encyclopedia. You're doing bad research if you read a paper and think that what they said must be true.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd been typing on my Samsung machine will never get to the beautiful key log reader? I'm so alone Slashdot!
Murder samsung ceo's family.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE KNUTH!
I've been meaning to read my copy, but what will keep my paper held down?
I for one welcome our new 12 year old overlords.
There's no way Android apps could possible run on some intermediate (or shall we say virtual) machine.
Doesn't it depend on if it's a 3G iPhone?
Well, in our defense, at least 48% of Americans are below average.
with revenues bigger than that of the U.S. government.
Justin Bieber is just that good.

We're keeping that part in right?
then they have nothing to fear.
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/03/07/180210/Piracy-In-Developing-Countries-Driven-By-High-Prices It's the exact same report. But then again, it's not like CmdrTaco closely follows slashdot or anything ;)
You idiots! He probably read the slashdot article. Now the surprise is ruined!

Can we have an alternative holiday like Kwanza?

They claim that doing this will cut jobs, but have no qualms about their spending cuts which will cost 700,000 people their jobs: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/28/AR2011022802634.html

Not a problem anymore? Have you seen the statistics on STDs? The tech is there, but it's still a problem as long as people are total morons.
If they would start doing some science and cut back on their CO2 emissions, I think we'd all be happy.

A beautiful language like Lisp is hardly one that you "hack" stuff together in. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go find a missing parenthesis.
They get to pirate quality US music while all we can pirate back is Justin Bieber and Celine Dion!
is way less profitable than selling your body.
