Its very handy to have a lightweight web server running on your machine that you control completely.
You will immediately start learning about sockets, TCP-IP, and HTTP.
You can set up a home page with useful information [e.g. how many cats do I own and what are their names].
Plus if you ever open a port on your router, you will quickly learn lots and lots about why security
is important.
I wrote an implementation in C when the Sciam article was first published.
Of course, Stomper (a one line program that copies itself to the next higher address) was pretty much
unstoppable, until I introduced the ability to capture enemy processes and repurpose them for
programs on the allied side. Lots of fun, but I could never get anyone to try it after I explained the game.
I think they were afraid of a process "escaping" and overwriting their machine:)
The only thing that concerns me about WGU is whether it is generally accepted
by employers as a substitute for attendance at a class-based school. That is, given
2 equally qualified candidates, one from WGU and one from an average state school,
would the state school graduate have preference in being hired?
a motorcycle might solve that:)
weather certainly permits it as a year-long solution
Would be nice if that were true. What often happens is you end up waiting in gridlock like everyone else,
and lane splitting is not allowed. Your bike better be liquid cooled, especially in the summer.
If you're a scientist doing actual Science today, then Laws exist. In fact, plenty of Laws exist. Plenty of Settled Science exists. There's always room for improvement, and plenty of things we don't know, but the new things we learn cannot contradict the past things we already learned. They can only polish the details.
This is demonstrably false. Citations provided:
Ether, contradicted by Michelson-Morley
Stationary continents, contradicted by plate techtonics.
Static universe, contradicted by Hubble (the astronomer, not the telescope).
Your mileage may vary of course. I put myself and 2 children through school with 0 debt.
In my state, 4 years in-state tuition+fees+housing+food is now about 64K. Higher than most
states, I think. Subtract 2 upper division years housing+food and 2 lower division years
and you get about 16K. Add about 6K for 2 years of community college and 2K for
used/rented books and that is about 24K. Oops, I guess I did miscalculate a bit.
Would be interested in hearing your exact costs.
This. Live with your parents, work anywhere, save a little money, don't spend it on video games.
2 years community college plus 2 years state school is less than USD 20k.
Graduate debt free. Don't be an English major.
Good point. This company which sells nothing except advertising is
spending so much to buy another company which sells nothing period ===
The latest tech bubble is upon us.
The largest telescope in the world, under perfect conditions, can see an object
on the Moon about the size of a small house. It's hard to imagine any amateur telescope
seeing an asteroid that is small enough to be moved into Lunar orbit.
Realistically, we should keep in mind how little education students actually get in
American K-12 classes.
Also that whether or not evolution is taught will make virtually no difference to
most high school students unless they have an interest in the biological sciences.
I think that the vast majority of those students will be fully capable and motivated
to learn evolution on their own.
Anything that starts to fill the gap in software development is good.
There is huge demand for these high paying jobs, and there will be for years to come.
The galaxies M81 and M82 are only about 300K ly from each other. A decent telescope can image them both at the same time.
Relatively easy to find in Ursa Major too. I look forward to viewing this during the next new Moon.

You must never have driven through the Chinese countryside. Count your blessings.
This will probably come as a surprise to many, but a lot of cops in Texas (at least in Houston and Dallas) don't care about a little pot.
Don't try this in Williamson county.
Because I lost my account password, and I can't recover it, and I don't feel like being someone else.
Did you try "password", "123456", and "letmein" ?

When did we become an Elvish nation?!?
So there is no risk of worldwide contagion, given that African swallows are non-migratory.
European swallow or African swallow?
Look on the bright side -- at least you are only getting half the government you pay for.

the traffic is getting insane

but just try getting a paring spot
Yep, downtown Austin is parking Hell.

Nice, thanks. Prepending a question mark seems to work too, converts the URL into a search.

Agreed, good point.

Not if you were standing between them.
I will make sure not to do that during the next star party.

It's a documented fact that when a Roman general was appointed the first thing that he would do would be to reorganize.
Interesting... Citation requested.
One alternative would be to buy a car wash
Thanks, this made my day.
