" Today's teachers just aren't given the same flexibility that teachers had back in my day." That is not always a bad thing. I remember my 5th grade teachers used science textbooks from 1967 in 1976. Yes she had a bunch of new science books but she did not like to teach science and we would go weeks without a science lesson. My sister had the same books two years later.
Sure a $50 tablet is nice but I really would like to see an inexpensive 11x8.5 e-ink kindle for that price. I read a lot of larger books with images that would be better on a larger reader.
It is running the Amazon flavor of Android so yes you can read PDFs on it so Project Gutenberg books will work with ease. Baen supports Kindle format so....
I will take media less if. 1. Games are half the price of those on Disk or 2. I can resell or lend the game to someone else. It is insane for me to pay the same for a game I can not trade or lend to a friend.
They idea is that you you a human like language to describe how the program works and then a program converts that into the actual code. I think we should call it a compiler.
I am a developer and at my company the encourage a 40 hour max work week. They treat everyone well. They pay well. My coworkers are all really talented and over all pleasant.
"There are still too many tin-foil-hat editors on Wikipedia, making Wikipedia nice, even entertaining, to read, but I always go elsewhere when I need real information." Funny but I often get miffed with I see extreme bias in articles.
It is not even all that hard to understand. When I go to a restaurant I expect good service. It is human nature to not take notice of the expected so people are less likely to post a review when they get good service. It is also human nature to take notice of the unexpected so when people have a bad experience they are more likely to post a review. When looking at reviews I tend to look at the age of the review and the subject. If I see long waits as a complaint I will bet you that is valid. If someone is going off like a crazy person I will tend to ignore it as just a rant. If I see something like "the food is not great" that is a red flag. If I see, "The food tasted like *&*#$" I take it with a grain of salt.
Doesn't matter if that 10% is 50% of those that pay for Netflix, generate ad revenue for YouTube, pays for Hulu, and so on. And the market share for tablets is much higher. Frankly I rarely watch video on my phone a MotoX btw. My Nexus 10 and 7 are what I tend to use for video if not my Roku box or Chromecast.
I have a MotoX, Moto360, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and a Chromecast. In fact I have never owned a iPhone or iPad. I am not an Apple fanboy but when you look at tablets Apple has a big lead. When you look at the US and Europe Apple is a bigger market share than the worldwide market share would indicate. IOS is too big and too lucrative of a market to ignore. Without Apple this standard will never take off it is just that simple.
Yes. I have not been to a public fireworks display without police being there. Of course it is really silly to compare Burning man with a 4th of July event. I have never been to a 4th of July event were the use of illegal drugs is very public and well known.
It also overlooks the fact that high end CPUs and GPUs all have power scaling. Your i7 and three overclocked GTX980s are not pulling anything like max power when you are posting on slashdot or watching netflix.
I think it is funny that anyone is shocked at the fact a "gathering" that involves drug use and pyrotechnics is being watched. The fact that they have never came in and raided the event shows that the FBI really is not going in for busting up free speech.
Most of my friends have kids or grown kids. Oh and they are married as well. I am kind of surprised that Markus is not in the same position as I am. He is 36 but he is single. I think that is a big issue. Being super rich and single could make it really difficult to find a true mate.
Slashdot Mirror
It is called advertising.
Now if a blog takes money then the issue is with the blog IMHO.

Or PIC or...
I wonder how well it would work compiling it under FreePascal?
Solid Works for sure but also Office Photoshop, Visual Studio, and Flight Simulator X.
There is not a single 3d FOSS CAD system as good as Solidworks.
large as in large format books that have lots of diagrams. Even when formatted correctly for an ereader the screens tend to be just too small.
One would hope

You left out the 4GLs from the 80s.

Even better make water pipes out of Cobalt 60. That will take care of it.

Is Burning man held on Federal land? If so that explains the FBI since it would be in their jurisdiction.

Desktop is one thing mobile is another. Without Apple it is DOA.

Never used Action! as I was a Commodore 64 guy but it looked interesting. Maybe we can see a C64 or C128 port of it now.
