So Bitcoin mikes a payment processing system, just like Paypal. Too bad it is also a currency, that happens to attract more speculation than real transactions.
Children of English or British ancestry are handicapped by their cultural heritage, so they deserve extra stimuli and attention in education.
Their language is fraught with an enormous vocabularity, which impediments their efforts to become literate. To make things worse, the spelling is arcane, non-intuitive, and non-phonetic, and then American, British, Canadian, etc. English have different spellings.
Their ascent in the scientific and computing subjects is further jeopardised by a labyrinthine system of ancient units of measurement, which drives even the smart to seek a career in the humanities.
When hurricane Katrina entered the city of New Orleans, the cell phone service went out. Having a new technology does not mean the old one is useless. We still listen to the radio.
The viability of a framework or language is proportional to the time it has been in use already multiplied by the number of people using it.
Support by a large and profitable company helps, but the software may have to be recreated when the original vendor fails. To minimise risk, always select a standard for which three or more independent implementations exist.
A product does not have to be perfect to succeed, just reasonably good. If Unix is still successful after more than fourty years, it's because of its flexibilty allows much redesign.
Understanding existing code is what a programmer on a team does much of the time. Sometimes the documentation is missing, or I am too lazy to go searching for it. The original programmer is usually not on hand. Comments in the code are rare, variables inepty named.
Finding bugs in someone else's code is not easy. The real hard part is when you've found a bug and try to fix it, but have no clue as to what the original programmer intended it to achieve.
If you like your programs nice and slow (and single-threaded), use Matlab, or Python if you can't afford the fee. For a bit of speed, use C or Fortran. If you're in a hurry, get a couple of heavy GPUs and program these in assembler.
I use a cheap (about U.S.$ 1000) 12-port Juniper switch at home for wiring up all rooms to the Internet. Its fairly robust and has all the features you want, except support for PPOA or PPOE.
"Only corporations, small business, medium sized business, large business, government, home users (especially gamers)."
Except for a few billion primates who use computers, Windows is irrelephant. Besides, come spring Windows 8 will shrink again, as users switch to Windows 8.1.
Few people know all of the products and services that the Microsoft empire creates. The trouble is that Office and Windows are the big money spinners. If the twin wells were to dry up, how will all the other losing propositions be financed?
Before switching to the new 'gibibyte' units, Linux has for a long time interpreted 'MB' and 'GB' the usual way, so the interpretation depended on the specifc command: 1 MB in commands like 'free' and 'df' would be 2^20, and in commands like 'fdisk' it meant 10^3.
Just remember that a 1 TB disk is 10^12 bytes and a 2 TB tape stores 10^12 bytes (uncompressed). Another important unit to remember is the KUSEC, which equals 1024 * 0.000001 seconds (used in WiFi standards).
Dark matter and dark energy are temporary concepts that I suspect will gave way to the next revolution in physics, a new theory of gravity. Then there is the old mind (psychology) versus matter (medicine) duality.
Science is influenced by economic factors too. America once took over the leadership positiion from Germany and China is trying to expand its research.

Maybe the real cause for your brain's increased connectivity was studying the fine manual.
What they call a "Mac" these days, is a PC that comes with OS/X preinstalled instead of Windows.

What is the maximum percentage of DNA in your blood where you are still legally drive a car?
Programming is hard and boring, because of the effort to make it free from bugs and errors. Still programming can be fun.
A few more monkey votes won't make much of a difference.

I'm not sure if it's good for the consumer, but paying more for your Internet access will help the economy to grow. Millionaires like economic growth.

People who bought Macchiavelli, also bought Marquis de Sade. P.S. I guess reading Tolkien helped my to empathise with Orcs.

It must be that new strategy of transforming Microsoft into a Services and Devices company.

It may be expensive to write bug-free code, but it is always better than having software with bugs in it (which you then have to test and fix).
Down here a Master's Degree qualifies you for teaching on a high school.
OK, I was in college when the poster was born, a few years after the first full-blown Computer Science course started.
Phew, for I second I thought this was on force 11 on the Richter scale.
