Know the rules of the road? No, you need to know how other drivers tend to act and react, regardless of the "rules." Same with police -- speed, be conscientious, and you won't get tickets often.
The right thing to do? Work with people that have ethics. I'm leaving a job at a mostly-NASA contractor for a number of reasons, one of which is NASA's retarded bureaucracy.
Oh, so to you "just as easy" means "just as fast." I guess that makes.... sense..... You realize there's also checks you're supposed to perform on your car every time you get in, i.e. tire pressure and stuff?
When you say "actual price" it leads me to believe that you really have no grasp on the meaningful economic, social, political and environmental consequences of commerce.
Do you think the legal "average maximum allowed speed in the US" actually influences how we drive that much? I assure you that I pretty much never drive even remotely close to such a slow speed on open highway, despite the speed limit being just under that on most of them around here.
A hundred miles EACH WAY? I only drive 25 miles each way and I already consider such a distance ludicrous and a major factor in deciding whether the job I have is worth keeping.
Seems like some perfectly reasonable paranoia, assuming everyone is out to get you all the time. The powers that be can't do much without actually charging you with a crime.
In the few instances I've seen a co-worker using object pools, removing them has been a benefit in every single way. Even if the objects do cost a little to construct, so does synchronously maintaining a giant linked list of objects.
If you're building strings, use a sensible API like java.lang.StringBuilder (or if you're feeling unnecessarily anachronistic, java.lang.StringBuffer).
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder("whatever"); s.append(somestuff); s.append("someotherstuff"); return s.toString();//note: all uses of APIs may be entirely inaccurate
Oh, please, neither Java nor C++ is superior to the other. They both have strengths at certain kinds of programming but altogether support extremely similar semantics in most areas. There are very difficult-to-use portions of both Java and C++. You should get yourself some more experience.
Indeed. I actually can't wait to try dropping KDE for Window Maker once again. BTW, did they revert the name or something, to remove the space again? I haven't RTFA yet.
I wish more people would do this. I agree, it would be completely untenable to maintain the machines' usage when most people opt out of it. I think this is the only way forward to ejecting these machines from our lives.
Why isn't it acceptable? I opted out on every recent flight I took and felt not the slightest bit ill of the experience compared to the scanner machines.
I wish that I had moderation points or even anything to add to this response. You have summed up quite nicely the flaws of taking a 'United States conservative' stance on abortion and the death penalty, and how entirely arbitrary the basis of our current worldly disposition to warring is. But why do we put up with imperialistic ruling castes? Is this simple insecurity, wanting to believe there is someone strong enough to protect us despite all costs and consequences?
For an individual who acts as if they have some kind of spiritual enlightenment, it's pretty astonishing that your response, when frustrated by a discussion, is essentially including calling the other person a stupid pothead.

Because JavaScript uses + and - as shortcuts for typecasting into numbers. There need be no other reason.
It's not like programming is hard, even kids do it.
Right, and even adults do it very poorly.

You can't make a good OO program?

Maybe you could have instead used your resources to help out the transit union?

Here's a great article on imperialism in the USA -- I hope it may open the eyes of some people.

Don't be insular; plenty of the Middle East, South America, etc. have unconscionably cheap petroleum as well.

So? They cannot legally do anything with it, and there is no way they can be legally compelled to perform espionage without a warrant.
This premise is endearingly psychotic.

Actually, a modern Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript Virtual Machine are far more similar than they are different.

Indeed. Even a village stoning is in many ways far more sane than the actions of the prison/police industrial complex.
