... to prevent AS in my own children I should make their infancy more stressful? Like run them through mazes with electrodes along the wrong routes or something?
I kinda like leaving it the courts. If it does go to court and a decision is rendered, it might help stop future sneaky behavior. Wishful thinking, I know, but it'd offer better protection than just capitulating would.
He makes some good points, and I agree with a lot of Dijkstra's philosophies, there. I'm totally digging on the concept of radical novelty; I'm a big fan of teaching by cognitive dissonance.
However, I can't get behind the man's call to teach without compiling and running programs. Well, to be fair, I'd have no problems teaching a freshman college course that way, but I'm teaching teenagers. I want the students to be able to unleash what they have wrought (or at least see that they've created a program that works). That's the bait that hooks them deeper into the coolness that is computer science or software engineering or programming or pattern engineering or thinkyness or whatever you care to call it.
Isn't the whole point of insurance to spread the risk evenly? Wouldn't paying more if you're more at risk defeat the purpose of insurance in the first place?
It occurs to me that a company could improve their score by releasing software with (secretly) known bugs, and then "fixing" them with zero-day patches.
I'm not saying anybody did. I'm just saying they could.
I saw a spot about this on some news TV program. Every single alleged criminal they showed on a billboard was either black or Hispanic.
Now I'm not saying this isn't a good idea, and I'm not saying that it's a deliberate white-supremacist plot. But what are the consequences if this sampling is representative of the wanted postings in general? What happens when people see minorities on wanted postings over and over?
There are a number of monitoring programs that track processes. Some allow the admin to include a banned list that will alert a monitoring teacher to an unauthorized process, usually using its process name (e.g. "firefox.exe"). There are school districts that do not allow Firefox because they're using a Web proxy for censoring^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H filtering and figuring out how to lock a proxy in Firefox is "hard."
I know one is not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Mr. Jordan always seemed like the kind of person who reads Tolkien and thinks, "Not bad, but it moves too fast and doesn't have enough description."
The problem is that the Web is stored electronically. Oh, if only there were some way of storing electronic data in some sort of non-volatile format. If only we could take a File that is a web page and Save page as... something.
At one point in his talk, Van Jacobsen talks about segmenting. He mentions that segmenting solves a problem that is metaphorically like having trains and cars on the same city streets; one doesn't want to wait around in a car for a train to clear the intersection. Then he says something that I've heard before, but never made the connection:
"It would be nice here to not have big trucks, just little cars."
And suddenly I realized that Senator Stevens had gotten a lecture that he completely misunderstood.
Granted, the man shouldn't have tried to give a speech on something about which he was completely clueless, but now I think I know where the heck that truck he mentioned came from.
If only there were some way to file in March, or even February. But that could only happen if employers had a deadline to send out W-2 forms by like the end of January.
When I was a teenager with a license, there was only one driving game that I played regularly. It was Car Wars. I remember catching myself driving shall we say somewhat incautiously after a game of Car Wars, perhaps because my mind was still on the game (it probably didn't hurt that I had Ministry blasting in the stereo, too).
So evidently, it's actually imagination (or loud music) that causes incautious driving. We should enact bans immediately.

And people wonder why there is a perception of sexism in technical fields.
... what, no takers?

Kewl! I'm a l33t Cyph3RPu|\|k!
Could it be that blogging is not a solo sport?

Am I the only person that thinks he tap-danced a bit on the OGL question?

I guess it's true that the preacher preaches loudest his own sins.
I would have thought that to be pretty obvious.
That degree in Sculpture was a money maker, after all.
I have an idea! We could use a Wild West metaphor. Then we could call them "white-hat hackers" and "black-hat hackers." Oh, wait ...
I begin to think that Slashdot's icon for the Republican Party has got the dot on the wrong end of the elephant.
The real shock to me is that it's only fifty.
Clicked the link, got an SQL/DB error. It really works!

Go broad, customize your resume for each job. Make sure your cover letter has everything on the job description.
