Using multiple languages is a Good Thing(tm) if, and only if, they are not used to take shortcuts, learn on the job, or avoid writing "hard" code.
If you worked for me, I would fire you on the spot.
According to this logic, a programmer shouldn't take some extremely useful c/c++ libraries, write some perl or python wrappers around them, and then whip up an application in perl or python utilizing them? Suppose doing that would be something really useful and it would simplify their job. For the sake of argument, suppose that Joe Hacker was doing this at work, and that he hasn't written those particular wrappers before. He would:
take shortcuts
learn on the job
avoid writing "hard" code
learn new technology
And therefore break every one of your grossly misinformed guidelines. At the same time, he would be creating something that would alow other people to get their jobs done easier. Welcome to the world of abstraction, my close-minded friend.
if you're calling interpretated languages, you need to remember that the burden for prereq's on your target platform is going to be huge
Please explain. If you mean prerequisite memory and cpu cycle consumpiton, yeah I'll agree. Usually a constant (time and space complexity-wise) penalty is NOT a problem though, and it's hardly a "burden". If you mean prerequisite Things You Need To Do To Get Things Working, then that's simply not true.
No kidding. I lived on ramen noodles for 3 years in college. Average monthly food expenditure? $15.
This included ramen enhancers such as eggs, pepper, green onions, and chicken.
Well it depends on your definition of "decent paying job". I think you're confusing "decent paying" and "high paying".
What's a reformed gang banger going to get a legitimate job doing? Suppose he/she has been Livin tha Gangsta Life(TM) since a young age, and maybe doesn't have a solid education beyond, say, elementary or junior high. What options would be available? Fast food? Secretarial work? Telemarketing? Various forms of manual labor? Now, what do jobs like that pay? Minimum wage? $10/hr? $17/hr after 25 years?
Now look at a low paying web job. What do they pay? $35000/yr? $40000/yr? It's decent.
Many people would disagree with me, but I think this also applies to accoustics as well. For example, I picked up an Ovation accoustic/electric for something like 400 bucks. It's got a fiberglass back on it, but IMO, it sounds better than your average all wood accoustic selling in the 200-1000ish range. And to top it off, it has
extremely low action (feels like an electric!) and a cutaway body so you can reach the higher notes more easily. The engineering they did on these things is simply amazing. I think most ovation haters are just repulsed by the plasticy feel of them, not the tonal qualities.
A decent guitar, by my definition, is one that sounds good. I completely agree though about getting one for under $300. Here's a little anecdote for you folks that think a "decent guitar" costs $1000+.
This is a shameless plug, but... all of these songs were played on a mass produced Korean Ibanez with a broken neck (fixed with glue and various scrap nails and screws). The thing is also missing buttons on two tuners. I think it sounds pretty damn decent for a guitar that was found broken in two sitting on top of a neighbor's garbage.
Original cost? Probably 200 bucks. If sold, it'd be worth about $20 maximum. To me, it's priceless.
A cyber court should exist only online, and all cyber jurors should have a minimum of a BS in computer science, computer engineering or electrical engineering.
Well the best solution to this is to get rid of your giant water heater and replace it with one of the flash heaters with a digital temperature
control. These are really common in Japan and Hong Kong (surely elsewhere too). They are more economical, give you water heated to your desired temperature almost instantly, and you never run out of perfectly heated water.
I guess I fall in the "tactile feedback" camp. There's nothing like having a nice clickety keyboard. To me it's like driving an old vette compared to a honda. Or playing a perfectly setup vintage les paul vs some crappy korean-made ibanez. Or playing tempest with a real spinner vs using a mouse. It's all about the feeling, the weight, and the sound.
Get yourself a lego mindstorms RCX and then replace the default firmware with LegOS. You can tinker around with the IR subsystem, and possibly even have several threads running to control multiple devices at once. Maybe make youreself a nice little menu driven interface too.
Fresh analysis indicates that radio advertisement length correlates very strongly with local traffic density. Many have suggested that the black helicopters are involved.

I live outside Groveland CA and heard the same report on KXSR. That's also an NPR station.
Maybe the national NPR got a bad newsfeed. Looks like they might be in for a lawsuit if it isn't true.
Why the US government, of course...
You could join today and "hit the streets popping caps and offing rival members and shit" in Afghanistan.

Looking at your post it suggests you wrote this?
Yeah. They're all original, minus YRGM.

Heh. Yeah a first person version would rule. You would just see your feet, some dirt, and a shovel.
Dig. Dig. Dig.
...don't have the first clue about how (or even why) one would go about implementing a RAID array in the real world.
ATM machine.
PIN number.
RAID array.
It's all about redundancy, baby.

"If we don't do it on the moon first, we'll never do it on mars."
Didn't they say that in Flesh Gordon, or one of those other cheesy spaceporn movies?
Flame is an understatement. That thing is a bloody rocket man!
Except of course when the automatic tuning doesn't work, and the MCSEs all stand around scratching their heads muttering things like:
"Let's do a reinstall."
"No, we need a better machine."
"I think we shoulda stuck with Access."
"Call tech support."
I get the impression that the AT guys update this thing once a year.

At the Takeda Award ceremony, they should hire some cheesy R&B/rap burnouts and get them to sing:
Take da award. (baaaaybeee)
Yeah, take da prize. (Oooh oooooh)
"Bangkok and Phuket"
Oh wait. That's a travel video.
Well, you can never overstate the fact that chicks dig monkeys. Perhaps that should have been first on the list.
But
1. Monkeys are cute
2. Chicks dig monkeys
3. Monkeys love boogers. (seriously. Try feeding a small monkey a booger. They love 'em.)
You want programmable? We've got programmable!
