What this guy really means as that advertising is changing. Searching is fine. Google quickly had to find a way to monetize search results and they grew into a advertising firm or sorts. So yes from google's perspective as an advertiser it must be troubling to not have such a firm hold in the "social media" space.
"Ah, the good old days when you could accidentally make someone invent a new protocol before breakfast..."
And I hear you aren't a bad writer either. I turned someone on to Peter Watts the other day at lunch (software developers for large grocery chain) and he turned me on to your writing. Now of course you are popping up everywhere, damn synchronicity.
"But I excel at my job - because a CS degree combined with an actual interest in this stuff (hey, I get off on learning what's going on in the silicon) means you can really figure things out quickly."
My CS degree was also heavy on theory and loaded with math. In terms of figuring things out quickly
I think it is more of the people going into the BSc Computer Science with a heavy math component already are the type of people that can figure things out quickly. You know?
Very good post. Completely agree especially about the math minor. I remember taking every single math course I could get my hands on as an undergraduate (around 12 half year courses). All the talk about language A or B and "technologies" etc makes me shake my head. Ah well.

Yeah it might be over their heads, but you should be able to watch it ahead of time and glean enough understanding to show it to them.
Dan Garcia, who i think is currently teaching it is also a great and entertaining prof.
Is this the story about a man his dog and a commodore 64 and their fight to free the columbine children from afghanistan?
If not I am not seeing it. :)
Heh, maybe im missing something, but how is this funny? NT kernel is most definitely written in C. And no you couldn't write a decent operating system with
Python or Ruby.
Maybe I am missing the joke, if so wouldn't be the first time.:)
Heh, yeah the name of the game had no impact on solving it for me either. I looked at it as a simple odd/even game. I just saw that you could ignore the even dice completely, add up the odd dice, and subtract from that total however many odd dice there were.
Heh that says 50 percent. Regardless, as long as it isn't a negative percentage, Science can move forward.:)
Think about it. 50 percent is correct. Science builds on itself, therefore as long as at some time, some of
the ideas being discussed are in fact correct, science as we understand the term will progress.
It is a misunderstanding of how Science progresses that would lead someone to think that anywhere near 100 percent of papers discussed were accurate, is needed.
I have no idea how you got modded up so high. Evolution has nothing to do with atheism. To conflate the two of them shows ignorance or trollishness, take your pick.
Seems to be a north american thing where having money
is tied to being smart. I once had a conversation
with someone who claimed John Travolta was super intelligent. I asked why. The response was, that he was rich and famous and could fly his own plane.
The mind boggles.

Umm neither.
Coding is hard! Let's go shopping!
A few years? Sheesh. I've written perl that I have gone back a few weeks later and thought WTF does this do again. I never learn. :)
"Can't we just call them "very high level" languages, instead?"
No.

True, but science isn't a democracy.

Here is a page listing software for either recording the stream or downloading it. I have personally only used HiDownload, which works perfectly for downloading real audio streams.

I am always reminded of the Maynard Keynes quote,
"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

Ahh the stench of cowardly nihilism.
DRM has no legitimacy period.
Worst analogy ever.

I will get first post in 30 minutes, when everyone that ran off to drink water
:)
has to go pee. My evil plan is working!
Muhahaha

Man i've been reading Slashdot for 4 years now, and I still can't tell its shit.

As far as I know it isn't supposed to be R.H.I.N.O, but simply Rhino.
