So lack of insecurity is your driving consideration for electing someone? I guess Jr. is the man.. He seems to full steam ahead into everything. right or wrong. Heaven forbid someone worry that they are making the right decision..
I think the whole Alpha male was an attempt to compate with the peoples love of stupid self-assured "decision makers".
As soon as the private schools start taking on the expensive children (special needs, problem children, etc)... Then we'll talk. Huge chunks of public school budgets go to those of us not traditional students.
Interesting question... Are the private schools you talk about burdened by all the regulations, parents, etc that public schools are? Are they required to pass the same tests for graduation? I think here in my state, (some at least) private schools.. and charter schools get a pass on state mandated tests.
That's the joy of it... Since there is SOO much advantage gained by exporting jobs, there will be SOO much excess income (corporate profits) that paying a token amount to the losers (since it's only a token lose... right?) won't impact them at all.
He's not against it... He's just pointing out that it isn't all roses. He's leaving the good/bad judgement to others. He's just adjusting/clarifying his existing thesis.... I personally have been thinking along these lines for a while... I'm just not a world class economist...
I think the last lines say it all. That we should find a way to support the temporary losers. Maybe by helping them until they either 1) they retire, or 2) they find someplace better to go. But not for generations....
And this Kopel's page is full of absolute truths? Nice that you'll beleive one political operative so completely, but discount a different political operative... Could it be that Kopel's half truths and spins fit better with your picture of reality that Michael's do?
It has nothing to do with people not wanting to pay the taxes necessary to support a better system? Good education is expensive (which is why people claim that private schools are so much better, they have the money (per child)). I came thru a system that taught kids how to learn, so it is possible... I think we seem to be in the politically correct environment which declares the education system broken (in it's entirety). I wonder if it's just another thing to blame the apparent decline our system on, rather than the root causes. It can't be us that's broken, it must be how I was schooled.
Mod this argument up. Stupid is so cool that we (meaning you all who voted for him) elected an intelligence underachiever (Bush) rather than a brainiac (Gore). And I believe it is because being intelligent (or appearing intelligent) is not cool. OOOO.. the nerd claims he invented the internet. He's too stiff (meaning he's thinking rather than being driven by emotions)
The article assumes that the only objective is to write a complete game, from scratch. The other way to look at the problem is to consider building the tools... Then people can come along and use the tools to build games. Maybe a group can add artwork to the mix, that kind of thing. There seem to be a few projects building engines, and layers. And people have started to build games on top of these.
I think that game mods, and level builders is the way to look at it. The original company built the engine, and others use it to make their own games. Same with OS development.
Hehe, teach them assembler first... coming from someone who isn't keeping up with new technology. Current Java implementations have the potential to create programs that do run faster than your average c/c++ program.
You haven't really used Java lately, and you obviously aren't making objective comparisons. I use java systems, and don't notice any more startup time, or slower performance than non-java systems on my computer. I'm also using a server that is completely written in Java, and see just fine performance there too..
Fine, then it's not a college education... It's trade school.... If you just want to get a job, then go to a trade school. If you want an education, and have the benefits of an education, then go to college/university.
Our College/University system is getting watered down as more and more kids just want to get in/out and get a job...
I want to also point out that MSN numbers are artifical since it is internet explorers default action if it can find a URL... send you to the MSN search page.
This guy needs to be modded down as a troll. This guys spouts the same tired miss informed "how OSS could be better so I can make money from it" tripe. Geez... OSS is not free as in gratis.. but free as in open.. Just because you can change the code doesn't mean you have to... If you're going to use something for free... then don't bitch about how much it sucks (because more _vocal_ criticism isn't polite and constructive, but whiney). Nobody said all OSS software is better than Proprietary... Usually they say there is some that is better, and mostly the OSS _philosophy_ is better.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Heh Heh Heh Heh Ha Ha Ha Ha. Oh stop.. you're hurting my sides... Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha please... you should be on the Tonight Show. Heh Heh Heh Ha Ha Ha.
$10 x 2080 = 20,800. That's one person. Two people is 2 x 20,8000 which is 41,600. This is considered middle class income. But note, this is a _two_ income family, not one.
Poor coding style. Like realizing the entire UI on startup. Needless looping, needless going to the database or disk, memory wasting, using improper data structures and object models. The list goes on and on.
That's the point of HotSpot. It does statistics on the code. If it gets executed once (startup) it never recompiles it. But if the code is being called often enough, it pays to recompile it. For an application like this one, HotSpot would kick butt, and you would end up with some really nicely optimized code (in memory).
I don't think HotSpot takes nearly as much resources as people think it does, and gains quite a bit with (seemingly) simple optimizations.
Sun (am probably others) also have a statistical optimizer for their compilers. You compile it, run it with statitics on, then recompile against those stats. It will generate an optimized executable base on the stats.
Is the lite setup up so all the non-speeders make the light? Why the hell can't they make (the sensors that detect that there is a car in the low traffic direction, and (theoretically) change the light) work? I sit at too many GD lights with not traffic from the busy direction.
bzzzzz.. wrong answer. I am able to spend US money in may countries, no problems. The dollar has become an international exchange currency. So, no, they don't have to eventually spend it here.
I also believe that with international banks... they covert stuff back and forth, with not real currency involved at all.

The article made a statement about acting dumb being cool... I was just extending the argument for you all.

Let's be more specific... How many terrorist deaths in the US did Iraq fund on 9/11? That would be 0.
.. oh, you get the point.
How many terrorist related deaths in the US come from Iraq before we invaded them? Again... 0.
How many Assam Bin Ladens (SP) have been captured since 9/11? That would be 0.
Yep... War on Terror is a big success... Just like the war on drugs... the war on poverty... the war on

I thought it was just an advertisement, with a flamebait title to get you to read it.

I wouldn't even call them software engineers. I would call them techs... They know the specific tasks that they are trained in, nothing more.

Yep, my price is less if I have the basic cable/broadband that if i have just broadband. Isn't that illegal monopolist bundling?
