You might not have heard, maybe they're censoring your net access and keeping you away from bad books. But you, along with the rest of the kids, _will_ get bigger, grow hair all kinds of weird places and eventually look like your parents.
Some complain that the "Month of MySpace Bugs" should have moved to May, so as to avoid the unfortunate collision with the "Stealing Candy from Babies Day".
Actually, what the study found was that those who did sports were less active after school. So the non-sport doing kids did stuff outside of sports and thus burnt their share that way. So I assume those with good genes and diet were better off than those doing sports but but failed on the other parts.
The comment was well hidden deep inside the article... As usual.
A large part of our product family is platform abstraction code; if you want to support multiple mobile platforms, you either bloat your code with abstractions, or drown it in #ifdefs.
That thing you call "bloat" some call good coding practices. And it's not like it will bloat your binary if you code it correctly, which is all that really matters.
He was very subtle, but at the end of the next to last paragraph he went too far. If everyone gets smarter, we'll still see the same distribution of the IQ around 100. Saying everyone has an IQ of at least 160 goes against the very definition of IQ.
Obviously you've never lived in a democracy. You're as likely influence a democracy in the right direction with your vote, as a good singer is to win American Idol.
So you just shot yourself in the foot, and didn't even notice?
Your argument applies to Microsoft too. The difference is, once you have a mixed environment, you're not bound to Apple nor Microsoft. There's this little known thing called unix, and the future was 37 years ago.
Just like a hybrid car, with one engine that runs on gasoline, another on electricity. And then it switches to whatever is most efficient for the particular purpose.
Get off your drunken horse and consider this; for those 20 seconds of effort you are expending, he is sitting in his couch watching TV. What did you gain?
Exercise and... not much beyond that. As you said, it's about using your time efficiently. As a couch sitting person, he can pipeline a beer ahead of schedule. Thus, while you spend 20 seconds getting your beers, he'll be sitting on the couch drinking continuously.
1) Open iTunes 2) Click a button 3) Write in your address/username/whatever + password 4)... 5) Profit
I don't know about you, but I'd expect pretty much anyone able to move a mouse to be able to do that much at least. Just because UNIX is for real men, it doesn't mean user friendly programs couldn't be made to hide the gory details.
I'm not sure if I'd be able to extinguish the fire or not, but at least I'd try instead of sleeping my way into death. Besides, for some reason if I were to die, I'd want it to be a death I'd be able to experience. It is a once in a lifetime experience after all.
There's no tangential movement of photons here breaking any 'laws'. Let me give another similar example just to point out how stupid it is:
Say you have a light bulb with two slots on each side you can open an close. Both sides are being observed from a distance of 1km, side A is open and side B is closed. Slit B is opened then 5 seconds later A is closed. Am I now going to claim observer B saw the light from A move to B so fast it came FROM THE FUTURE?
Bonus points if you can calculate how fast it went.

Are you sure they use accounts, instead of the website just explicitly allowing spiders from certain netblocks access?
So who's to say the egg thread wasn't executed first? You seem to have missed the fundamental problem in chicken/egg thing.

Childhood won't last forever.
Well, I've considered that option too. But unfortunately I'm even more picky about who I'd be willing to have as a boyfriend, than a girlfriend.
Just Friday and Saturday?
Real hardcore CS students sit in the comp.lab from 1600-0800 every day of the week, including Sunday.
Thanks for alleviating my ignorance.

And what is the difference between thinking one is happy, and actually being happy?
No, those would be the European and ISO standards. Over in the US, you call it science.org.slashdot.

So you're saying theres so many OS's around that you can't count them?

This must be why so few people know about the xargs command...

Or did someone already use the car analogy?

I was under the impression that we geeks liked things simple, compact and powerful, like *nix, not arcane, overly verbose and limited, like windows.
The beauty of in powerful systems lie in their simplicity, not their complexity.

3) Write in your address/username/whatever + password

Wait... does that mean the rest of us are now using Web 0.0?
I would prefer the smoke detector.

Except it doesn't. It merely shows how different photons can go in different directions.
A nice example, but what is it supposed to show?

Teacher, teacher can I have a special project so I don't have to come back to school until it's done?
Sure brat, just make sure you don't write anything that takes me more than 15 seconds to correct.
