What colleges? What industry? You are spouting so much herp-a-derp without that information. Whining about the "ivory tower" mentality is pretty silly when the applicants are coming from some diploma mill in West Bumblefuck and are hired to babysit servers and generate reports.
Actually, "Mars had oceans" is the hypothesis. That the solar wind strips off the atmosphere of the inner planets is pretty well established.
There are theories that a weak magnetic field screwed Venus, too, as the solar wind knocked away the hydrogen that used to form its water, leaving the heavier oxygen to bind with carbon and sulfur.
Yup, frames are hot this season, it's 1998 all over again!
io9.com recently went to that format, and imagine the rest of Gawker will follow. If anyone still reads their crap, I imagine they won't be for long.
I think the future will regard "web 2.0" as a colossal failure, at least at producing a sustainable infrastructure. People tried to make applications out of a document viewer, and people tried to turn documents into applications, and all they really got out of it was a tangled mess of glue code and markup.
As much as I hate Apple's closed ecosystem, it finally made people realize that that the real problem with distributing applications is trust. The browser is a sandboxing runtime, and it succeeded by tricking people into thinking it was somehow a different category from all the other sandboxing runtimes, which they regard as slow and clunkier than native applications.
Remove the trust issues with native applications, and people are WTF do I need this browser for? All my favorite stuff is on the market!
Someone who whines that the multiverse theory must necessarily be false because it leads him to uncomfortable conclusions regarding his personal belief in morality has no business criticizing any scientific theory, no matter how speculative it is.
And seriously people, pseudoscience? You are claiming that Susskind and Hawking engage in pseudoscience, like Deepak Chopra?
This criticism isn't based on scientific merit, this is envy of popular attention.
How is this insecure? The behavior is "as designed".
If it isn't the behavior you thought it should be, well, perhaps you shouldn't install unsigned applications from sketchy websites that want to both access your mic and your phone log.
I don't see any reason why web apps can't be as easily to develop, as feature-rich, as fast, and as easy to use as native apps.
The reason is that anything and everything that can be written in Javascript can be written to look better and perform better using native APIs. Throw that away and you gain nothing but lose everything that makes a platform better than its competitors or what came before it.
It's madness that we'd need to write the same software multiple times.
Ok, you gain one thing. But Java failed at that, and Javascript + HTML is worse than Java. Plus applications that ignore platform conventions and instead implement their own look and feel are always worse than the same application that doesn't do that. And every web application does that, because there is no standard look and feel for "the web".
There is no "yet". It will never be, because Javascript + HTML will never be as good as the tools available for developing on the native platform.
It is madness that people think the whole world should standardize on a typeless scripting language and a klunky markup language for graphical layout, running on a VM that is always embedded in a window that allows the user to do things that will break your application.
> There is definitely a difference between a computer/system/software engineer and a programmer.
No, there is not. There is only a difference in competence between individuals. The titles in this industry are so meaningless that anyone who considers his title important is pegged to the "less the competent than his self-assessment" category. And that means you, retard.
I mean "software engineer" in lieu of a CS degree. Most schools pay lip service to software engineering, from individual classes all the way to dedicated research programs (like CMU).
But software engineering is nothing more than applied CS. It exists to serve the needs of industry. The people promoting it as some sort of status symbol are delusional.
Jesus fucking Christ you people are retarded. There is no "traditional" background for the "programmer" title, and while a lot of people want "software engineer" to mean something, it doesn't, because the industry doesn't give a shit.
In fact, reality is quite the opposite of what you're saying. MIT and Stanford do not give out "software engineering" degrees. They have schools of computer science, and the give out CS degrees. Every top tier school gives out CS degrees. Only the diploma mills have "software engineering" programs, because they don't have the chops to teach real CS.
The language that keeps Constellation going was inserted into the 2010 budget last year by U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican who sought to protect the program and Ares jobs at Marshall Space Flight Center in his home state.

lol, you liked that movie.
If America isn't a democracy, then why do you get to vote? Answer that, smart guy.
Damn straight. Too many confuse the pro-life position to be about saving lives. It is really about punishing sin.

lol, army purse
That's the kind of thing losers say.
No, they're rather spread out. Where southerners concentrate you get interesting places like Athens, Savannah, or Austin.

No, the odds of you winning the lottery are 1, because if you lost there would have never been a lottery.
People like you are the reason we have to use no-script.

It is a very lucky coincidence that these made-up axioms coincide with observations of the physical universe.
I think you meant the sociology of the humanities. Science was never involved.

If dolphins have rights, we won't be able to use them in genetic experiments to make them smarter.
And if we can't make them smarter, then who is going to pilot our starships?
Dancing and raiding are both difficult for the awkward.
Here, you fucking retard. Yes, that is TFA.

Well, it has that going for it.
