Speaking as one who had the misfortune of having to try to help kids with no interest at all in computing, back when I was in high school myself, this is a fucking idiotic idea. Coding isn't for everyone.
Anytime someone brought in a kid suffering from a disease that could have been prevented by vaccination, I would first ask whether the parent was brain dead.
Sounds about right. With all the MS employees looking to jump ship, I can't see why anyone who wants to hire a Windoze developer would spring for a ticket to interview a candidate from a different city.
Of all the things there are to blame Obama for, sending his kids to a private school is not one of them. His kids are not public property, and his duty as a parent is to get them the best education he can afford.
Government money fails because governments can't be trusted to meet their contractual obligations. The US dollar has had a pretty good run, but once FDR stole our gold and Nixon broke the Bretton Woods treaty, its eventual demise became inevitable.
I would hope so. Friends in the chip design world have told me that Apple could save about 20% of the power draw on their A-series CPUs if they had access to intel's fab process.
Wait, what? Why in the world would someone use the auto pilot in a simulator? Isn't the whole point of the simulator to let the pilot get more stick time without the fuel cost?
I would think that they can't claim someone else owes them money just by posting something. They would have to sue them and win.
Exactly. They'd never get a court to enforce it, and if they do go as far as trying to put this on the victim's credit report, I would expect any credit bureau to remove it immediately upon a complaint.
A fine is a monetary penalty assessed by a legitimate authority. What clear gear is threatening to do is to commit fraud against the customer they failed to serve.

This will turn into just another way to rape the planet
Oh, for Christ's sake. Why don't you just go freeze in the dark, and quit bitching about people trying to improve the lives of their fellow man?

DO NOT buy one of these for your wife or girlfriend. In fact, don't ever acknowledge that you're aware of its existence.

And his recent statements suggest Obama thinks some of the NSA's activities should be constrained.
Gosh, if only Obama were their boss and could order them to obey the law!
Oh, wait. Who am I kidding?

I did mean suicide, but if any of them come clean like Snowden did, then they should get a pardon.
-jcr
telling them to commit suicide isn't cool.
Your approval is neither sought nor required. The people I'm addressing belong to a criminal organization, and we'd be better off with them.

Violating the constitution SHOULD make you feel like shit.
Hint to NSA minions who want to redeem themselves: there is no apology more sincere than hara-kiri. Spill your guts, and we might forgive you.

Not as useless as bitching about it, kid.

That being said, he's a flaming asshole for throwing his weight into killing DC's voucher program.

Ok, I get the photovoltaic part, but how can it gain energy from the wind without a tether?

There is no chance that Intel would rent out its best fabs.
What's your next guess?
Apple is a very important customer to Intel.

You shouldn't even do that.

stubborn, stupid, and extremely narcissistic people
In my experience, people fitting that description throw tantrums over trivia like putting four characters at the end of a comment.
Get some professional help, kid. I'm not going to quit signing my posts just because you're in a snit.
