girls in america are too busy trying to look like the cover girls of vogue and cosmopolitan magazines, because that's what is expected of them
is there any wonder how girls growing up in such a vain and stereotypical society become so vain themselves?
it's less to do with whether girls are good at programming or not; female programmers just aren't able to compete in a male dominated profession (for salary, credibility, acceptance, etc).
Matlab is awesome, and so are IDEs like Delphi, but if you can get your head around PHP/JS/HTML/CSS/MySQL it can be very efficient. You just need a junked Windows OEM box to make a LAMP server. I personally like the ability to mash up half decent and usable GUIs without a whole heap of fucking around. Browsers have their quirks, but if you learn some basic principles (Google "top ten mistakes in web page design") and use the W3C validation tool you can't really go wrong for in house (LAN hosted) tools. You can even do charts and diagram automation with PHP's GD extension.
many asian kids are studying overseas (much of australia's higher education is paid for by wealthy parents of full fee paying foreign students, many of them asian). they are among the most astute and studious in the world (stemming from much more intense competition due to higher population).
american kids on the other hand are stuck with the "we are the rulers of the universe" mentality and they turn out to be bums on welfare that vote for morons like obama.
blue collar workers turn squiggles on paper into skyscrapers, which is certainly more respectable than the worthless stockbrokers who now work in those skyscrapers
i'm not sure but i think maybe the OP's point may have been that for someone to write specialist software there will be an increasing demand for specialist qualifications.
the problem is that often these specialist degrees (such as science or engineering) have programming components, and the students have probably already had exposure to programming through high school or hobby so more often in future specialists may be involved in programming their own tools with less help from CS grads.
it's probably more an issue of liability than capability; as threat of litigation increases, companies will be less able to afford to have programmers without specialist qualifications working on development of specialist software.
there are lots of applications that don't require specialist qualifications, but specialist software is a huge area of development that CS grads may have more limited opportunities in down the track unless they follow up their CS degree with another specialist degree.
anything that microsoft touches in the linux world turns to shit
just think of how much work must have done into cleaning all the shit out of the bloated and mostly worthless code that redmond infected the linux kernel with (for the purposes of appearing to be a "significant contributor" and making linux work better as a guest on azure in a vain attempt to increase their hyperv market share)
he defends any motion that prevents government involvement in things that government shouldn't be involved in, which has nothing to do with whether he is for or against same sex marriage, abortion, etc
you are merely proving how idiotic you are... even when you read about his votes, you're too stupid to understand them
why don't you try watching him speak, which might make more sense of how he votes... he is for less government involvement, regardless of the issue
hell you probably don't even know what i'm talking about... maybe you'll understand this... dum de dum dum dum de dum
Instead of policy positions, you describe "what they would say"...which is all bullshit! It's what the **policy** is that they **vote** or implement that matters!
you are an idiot
obviously how politicians vote is reflected by what they say
just because you are a shallow fool and don't understand libertarian policy doesn't make it a "troll-concept"
if a vote came up that tried to ban gay marriage, obviously (well, except to you) a libertarian would oppose it, but not because they are in favor of gay marriage... it's because the government has no right to impose laws like that in the first place
ron paul's policy has been consistent through 10 congressional terms, as based on his policy he has predicted 9/11, the financial collapse of 2008 and the demise of the US dollar. his policies will dominate the next election even though he won't be running. he has far more credibility and solid supporters than other candidates, which mostly relies on taking advantage of current events and bashing the other guy. ron paul is the only candidate that became popular based solely on his policies.
DRM may be bad (for users), but it's not going away... if i were to access DRM protected content (not likely, but many others do, including on itunes), i would rather be able to access it with just my (w3c standards compliant) browser than have to download various plugins to access content from various sources
w3c standards have nothing to do with "protecting the open web", it's merely about accessing the already closed portion of the web (which is already closed and will remain closed regardless of what the w3c does)

ok, repeat after me: waterfall is shit
eventually it will be the other way around; americans will be answering phones in call centers and manufacturing shoes for asians.

or keynesian economics... america is so totally fucked
the main focus of institutional jobs seems to be the humble idiot test... that only idiots can pass :)
i have real desire to be a porn star. doesn't mean i would make a good one.
html, which actually isn't programming anyway, it's just a kind of text formatting.
it can get a little bit trickier when generating html from javascript from php

free pascal and lazarus also aren't bad

so you're an old fart who worked in a corn field?

he has said what role he thinks government should have in many interviews and debates
just because you are either too inept or lazy to find them doesn't mean they don't exist
if you want me to find them for you, i charge $250/hr
don't take my word for it... go listen to him
if you think Ron Paul is inconsistent, you clearly don't understand him at all
html5 probably helps a little bit too, but i agree

maybe they meant "phallic" victory... men with big dicks dominating men with small dicks
"Alright everyone, back to the pile."
i think you're both (Luckyo and AC) are gay with each other
A demo server gets created, booted up, configured, runs an application and shuts down in under 1 second
so you're saying the hypervisor starts an application layer that then runs an application and then shuts down
sounds kinda similar-ish to dalvik (android)... with all the useless shit taken out
useful yes, but the whole "OS-less" and "elastic cloud" stuff just sounds like marketing bullshit
i doubt you would be able to satisfy me
you still don't get it

Okay. In the real world on the other hand, what matters is that i'm gay.
thought so
