The fact that you're not already coding and Ruby couldn't hold your interest makes me wonder exactly what you want to do and why.
If you plan to learn to code mainly as a necessary step towards creating your dream RTS then I hate to piss on your fireworks, but you're wasting your time. It's just way too much dang work and frustration for something you don't find interesting and exciting in and of itself.
If I got the wrong idea and you do find coding interesting, forget about the RTS for a while and just worry about getting good at the basics.
Despite moves by government to get Google, Amazon and Apple to admit they make sales in the UK and US, and therefore should pay tax on these earnings [...]
Tim Cook seems to claim the opposite:
I can tell you unequivocally Apple does not funnel its domestic profits overseas. We don't do that. We pay taxes on all the products we sell in the U.S., and we pay every dollar that we owe.
So is he a bare-faced liar, or is the article summary bollocks? Sources please.
Make some concrete, testable predictions - say, market share, profit share, stock-price or something of that nature - and I'll see you on 8th Feb 2013.
Was the magnetic write head ever the main bottleneck?
Maybe not the 'main' bottleneck, but it depends on the application, no? Seems to me there are at least a few firehose situations where you can never have enough write bandwidth (say, uncompressed video-capture).
Maybe normal workloads on normal filesystems wouldn't see much improvement, but I bet you could find ways to capitalise on the extra bandwidth and space. Log-structured filesystems spring to mind for one.
Reading some of the papers, it is clear that the data is being selectively interpreted to yield a desired conclusion. This is yet another case of continued government funding depending on making progress in proving a particular result, in this case, the existence of the Higgs particle.
Reading your post, it is clear that the article is being selectively interpreted to yield a contentious opinion. This is yet another case of trolling.
The first step to a solution is always a robust solutioneering methodology.
Hey, that guy smells funny! Let's get him!

The guy wrote emacs and gcc and created GNU against all odds out of pure bloody-minded stubbornness. You really think he deserves to be ridiculed for whatever social weirdness you wankers ascribe to him?
Like, when the f**k did Slashdot become "News for Jocks"?
TFA repeatedly mentions WiFi. IIRC, the iPhone only enables wifi at all when you're actively using the phone - when it's sat in your pocket, wifi is off. Which would put a bit of a dent in that 54% figure.
The bill, which has been signed by the governor, was pushed by recording industry officials to try to stop the loss of billions of dollars to illegal music sharing.
Great job letting bogus assertions sneak into the summary masquerading as fact.

I always felt that B5's s4e06 needed to end with Sheridan leading the allied forces in a chorus of 'Yub Nub'.
No question here, I just thought you needed to know that.
Perhaps making Google look bad isn't their #1 goal. Righteous indignation is cool and all but they're a business.
If you're gonna argue from zero evidence, just claim that the CPU itself is pre-rooted and be done with it.
That's not even remotely what a TPM does.

YOU SONOFABITCH!
The point is, apple's profit isn't actual quality - it's just a surcharge for people dumb enough to buy
At this point there are quite a few counterexamples out there - Apple users who are clearly not dumb, nor suckers, nor computer-illiterate.
Seriously dude, it's time to let it go.
1. The OS and online infrastructure costs $0?
2. Selling a product at a profit equates to "premium" now?
Second. The article makes it sound like the guy discovered the Mandelbrot set hiding in the tube map.
Nope, not new; I just never felt the need as pressingly as I do right now.

"from the greed-begets-greed dept."?
Ugh.
Is there a way to block stories by editor?

Dear Slashdot,
How about taking a little more pride in what you choose to show to the 8 bajillion people who hit your front-page every day?

Why can't a helicopter thrust upwards?
I am replying to try and dissuade you from continuing to rape small children.
See how that works?

Obviously he meant "Threat Level Rouge", the one above "Condition Fuchsia" and second only to "Alerte Noire"
