It is not even remotely similar to reading, writing and basic math. Most people do not need coding, will never be any good at it and trying to tech it to them is a complete waste of time.
I absolutely disagree. Programing (by which I mean building something that does stuff, rather than doing it the best possible way) is not about math, it's about logic. It's about deciding goals, making a plan, testing one's progress, and making milestones. This sort of thinking is essential in nearly every field, from baking to investing, from education to career planning.
I have an artificial device implanted in my abdomen that performs the function of my failed kidneys. It's powered by my own metabolic processes and has the potential to work maintenance free for decades. It's also totally open source.
The same way that things went from being "neat" or "cool" became "awesome," and how a few years back all "fails" became "epic fails." Nowadays one can't be a "good" coder, or an "excellent" coder. One must be a "rock star." People who aren't rock stars aren't merely "below the median," they are "fucking retards."
My city has been trying to get some dubious development lately (casinos and the Olympics). The politicians and developers, seeking to get voter approval for revised laws, tax breaks, and other asshattery, love to throw around terms like "world class." I saw an ad on the subway that used the phrase three times. It's like listening to Donald Trump imitators throw around superlatives "the classiest, most gold-plated, marble-encrusted codpiece you ever saw."
That's not true. I use adblock because I just want the content I came for and not a bunch of other stuff taking up my screen. If it weren't for adblock's advanced settings, sites like LinkedIn would be unusable.
The Net got it wrong in that running "whois" doesn't bring up a photo of someone's driver's license and that pressing "ESC" doesn't roll back database changes across the Internet.
Does mean that I have to stop putting links to my super secret stuff on the pi-symbol in the lower-right corner of my web pages?
This device makes sense for situations where arranging the food is where the effort liesâ"delicate cookies shaped like snowflakes and portraits of the bar mitzvah boy sculpted in chopped liver. But for things like a pizza or ravioli or cookies that can be laid out in no time with a spoon or a pasty bag it's a waste of time.
It's not like you load the thing with food elements like flour, eggs, cheese, and spices and ravioli comes out. It doesn't make food, it only squirts out food that's already made. The video's enthusiasm about how one is eating all sorts of wonderful fresh ingredients is irrelevant because one has to make that stuff anyway before it goes in the machine.
I can see this being an interesting tool for fancy restaurants that would like to make breadsticks that look like coral and other instances where people pay for presentation for itself, but being adopted in homes like the microwave was? I just don't see the value.

Yeah, whatever, pal. Suck my helmet streamer.

No mod points to give you, but I agree.
But can the jamming rifles be used on boom-box cars?
A regular rifle is good enough for that. If the car is loud enough, no one will hear the shots.
People who were just much more substantial
It's okay to say "fat."
He has awfully small hands though...
Yeah, but his kid Barron can build it. That kid is so good with the cyber.
That's why Jesus died for a second time on the cross on Halloween. To give girls the right to wear skimpy "sexy ______" costumes.
And frog.
There family
Where family?

Just like it's a Good Idea to check the back seat before you get into your car, it's a good idea to check the back before before you get out.
Oh, and maybe turn off the goddamned phone once in a while so you're less distracted.

At worst they install whatever the hell they want while they are providing remote "support".
Seriously, who the hell do these Sun Microsystems people think they are, anyway.
That's what it wants you to think.
They both went right back to testing, however
Sound like they failed.
I guess there's someone new over there willing to fuck Sergey.
The staff of Microsoft lost a lot of time doing that elaborate funeral for the iPhone years back.
Exactly. Full marks to TemporalBeing.

That's nerd cred right there. Drop the mic and walk.

Yes, that would be very noble.

Instead of carrying seven ounces for one unit of alcohol why not just bring grain alcohol and get 14 units for the same weight?
