    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

  3. If given a problem to solve on the spot, I would write it in pseudo-code. You can have actual running code when you hire me. I won't solve your problems for free.

    Maybe in Silicon Valley, but all over the world there are privately held companies that don't have shareholders. Who is the motivating force there?

    More importantly, Who is TCL? I have never heard of them.

  7. A person's sense of "taste" doesn't mature until they're about 12 years old. Kids are already picky eaters, probably an evolutionary holdover to prevent them from being poisoned.

    You will have to adjust the age of your test group.

  8. This security provision is fine for people who will click on ANYTHING, people who don't read error messages, people who BELIEVE that their version of Adobe Flash really needs updating. However, implementing this will just allow those people to continue to behave foolishly, and annoy the rest of us.

    You know it won't.

  10. The "language" is the language of programming. Basic structures like loops, if/then statements, variables, arrays, etc...
    If you give students those basic building blocks, then they can apply that knowledge to ANY language.

    I never really understood the allure of heroin. My friends kept urging me... "You gotta try it" they would say. I finally caved in and bought some, but I just couldn't commit to injecting. With no real reward for my effort, I just deemed that it was a huge waste of my time, and disposed of what I had. I have been free and clear of it since, and I couldn't feel better.

    FACEBOOK. I meant Facebook, not heroin.

    Psychological effects? I don't think we should be caving into the neuroses of people suffering from OCD. That won't make the world a better place.

    You're doing it wrong then.

    Heinz could sell a quality empty bottle with the slippery surface, and then sell refills for it like they do for restaurants... A big plastic bag of Ketchup. They get to profit from the sales of the bottles, plus they save on the refillable packaging. The consumer thinks they are getting a good deal, but really, there might be some wasted food from the refill bag.

  19. The host suggests a contest and exclaims "Let's get it on!"

    NOBODY said that in 1983, unless they were suggesting to have sex.
