Current versions of Delphi have four distinct cases of array referencing (that I can think of right now).
List:array[3..17] of float;// static array VarList:array of float;// open array Name:String;// dynamically allocated string Abbrev:String[32];// fixed max length string, also called short string
Static arrays are declared with a range, and the range can be any enumerated type, including user defined types. Dynamic arrays are allocated on the heap at run time using the SetLength system function. These are zero based, and the index of the last element is Length-1. Dynamic strings are also heap-allocated, either with SetLength or by assignment from another string or constant. However, indexes are 1-based, and max length is limited only by available memory. You have to use the Length function on dynamic strings since there is no element zero. Short strings are declared with a max length of up to 255, stack allocated, and element zero does still store the current length.
You don't necessarily do a lot of math as a programmer, but being able to think like a mathematician will be a great help. General problem solving involves logic and inference, in much the same way as proving theorems does. Some concepts from Discrete Math become so commonplace (decimal to bin,oct,hex,etc) that you hardly even notice them anymore, but will glaze the eyes of a non-programmer. I have also had to explain floating point evilness to more than one accountant.
The most hard-math thing I have done recently in programming was double linear regression to project the time required for a file copy operation to complete. Some quality time with Wikipedia, a couple of pages of algebra, and a couple of days of debugging later, and I had a "time remaining" display that counts down like a clock. Take that, Windows Explorer.
Good for you. Some guy I know went to do the same thing, but ended up robbing the place and getting left there by his wife while the police were arriving. That sumbitch!
Just yesterday, I heard the Blind Boys of Alabama's rendition of Amazing Grace, sung to the tune of House of the Rising Sun (though as I recall, that recombination was discovered by another singer, but I've forgotten who).
It works to the tune of the Eagles' Peaceful Easy Feeling too.
as opposed to the people who use it and have no idea of how it works, or how it could be damaged and what the damage may do to the Internet as a whole.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number begins with a six-digit IIN.

If they knew what you meant, this conversation would have never happened.
Windows-friendly one-liner (no spaces or double quotes):

I remember watching it, but when I read this story, all I could think was "I for one welcome our new SkyNet overlords".

A server is not a cloud.
Nebulous marketing-speak is nebulous. The problem is that everyone who uses the term "cloud" means something slightly different by it.

Looks like capepac.org is slashdotted, so I can't donate!
Maybe their hosting is through GoDaddy.

I have previously posted a snippet. It's not ready for direct reuse, but all the required moving parts are there.

I told my father I want to be a musician, so he bought me a blunt instrument. He gave it to me and said "Knock yourself out".
Hear, hear.

Since STUXNET was designed to incorrectly calibrate centrifuges, there is a distinct possibility that the Girl's Got Rhythm.

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better when you're done, but the frog dies.
In the long run it should work out that wealth is redistributed to those willing to take risk on new ideas.
Keynes was right about the long run, too.

Nope. It's the Dilbert Principle working its magic IRL. Promote the incompetent to limit the amount of damage they can do.
I don't even have iPhone, but Apple's Siri seems much more personal. They've made it a character, your friend.
