I do not know of an educational system that fosters critical thinking instead of socialisation, assimilation, indocrination of accepted values, transfer of accpetable knowledge and drilling to acquire practical skills. No educational curriculum includes reading Slashdot.
A government research report advises that Duch doctors should make more use of alternative therapies such as acupunture and that health insurances should cover the costs of alternative medicine. (News paper article in Dutch) http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4516...
Nothing wrong here: the Windows firewall is designed for keeping malware inside the PC and out of the Internet, the other firewalls are designed for keeping malware on the Internet out of the computer.
Matlab is a nice piece of software. I like especially how the GUI keeps running when the matlab engine crashes. Matlab is slow, so you can get better-than-tenfold speedups by doing the heavy lifting inside C libraries.
Thing is: every Kentucky Chicken can code, whether it be fried or frozen. The hard part is proving the code correct. Building software is still an exercise in mathematics, and even mathematicians sometimes make errors. People think the computing business is innovative, but the software craft is hardly showing progress.
Building software should be a form of engineering: you pile up Lego(TM) bricks of pre-fab proven software objects with well-defined interfaces. You draft a specification and the computer only needs to check it.
Now law enforcement will effectively be cybercriminals, so it should become easier for citizens to get warrants to break into police and government computers.
"Most of the source code was built with a proprietary "csl" compiler that generated "pcode" that was run through an interpreter at runtime." This will prove hard to port to modern systems.
What do you not understand? In 1933 the german people democratically elected a totalitarian regime. From 1949 to 1989 the German Democroatic Republic elected a totalitarian regime, mostly because all the legal parties supported Soviet Communism.
But we should pity the poor counties of Essex, Wessex, Sussex, and Middlesex.
I propose a ban on narcotic drugs, lethal weapons, and child pornography, because overuse of the same may lead to anonimity, and severe cases of anomity may lead to Open Source browsers.
But then terrorists have no license to break the speed limit or even to explode bombs, for that matter .
MI5 and MI6 vehicles should be painted orange and marked SECRET in big letters. otherwise the other drivers won't recognise them as such and start speeding too.

English is hard and constitutes a valuable skill.
How can software that has any bugs be considered as good quality??? I guess that if guns are legal in your country, then buggy software may be too.
Poorly, but not as badly as C, but as it turned out, COBOL was the most secure programming language after all.
According to 1 Kings 7:23, the circumference of a circle is equal to three times its diameter.
If all the universe is a vacuum, it could well have arisen out of nothing.
New York mayors say: "Code? Yes we can!"
If the users want a 'desktop' that looks like Windows, that would mean KDE or GNOME 2, which are not exactly light-weight.

Isn't this iPhone thing you speak of the remote control for your TV?

I'm sure you meant 'real programmers don't use Pascal'.

The trouble is that the people who recruit programmers have no way of distinguishing a genius from a fake.

The times change, but it's the same old world. The test covers only consumer (SATA) drives, which have high failure rates.
Steve Ballmer's successor must be a genius if he can push the sale of Windows Phones to the same level as the iPhone.

Who handed authority over the international networks to the US Federal Government?

I wouldn't call 4KB of memory exactly enough, but it used to be what we would see and all we got.
