Facebook is too young to do such a study reliably, unless, of course, by "people" you mean mice.
A properly done study would take a group and randomly assign members to a control group (no social media) and an experimental group (mandatory social media), and then wait for people to start dying.
Recent initiatives which encourage girls to program won't see effects for several years until they enter the job market. Programs which teach older girls to code might not be as effective. Be patient.
I currently have AT&T Uverse for television, and Time Warner for internet. Why not use one or the other for both? Because Time Warner cable is more expensive for my use case (3 receivers) and AT&T Uverse internet is too slow and more expensive than Time Warner internet. If the government approves this, we better get a viable national third party because otherwise we're doomed.
No, she is talking about removing basic algebra. Her placement exam put her in elementary algebra, but she needs intermediate algebra in order to take a programming class. So this requires taking two semesters of algebra, equivalent to (USA) high school algebra 1 and algebra 2. Look at here slides.
Actually I wasn't aware Yahoo was powered by Bing. I used Yahoo search for a while when Firefox switched its default browser to them. I had always assumed Google/Yahoo/Bing were equivalent because they're run by huge companies with years of experience. But the quality of Yahoo search results seemed to be on par with DuckDuckGo.
This might be true, but I doubt anyone could have saved Yahoo. I think the best thing would have been a temporary surge in the stock price so some investors might get rich, but nothing more. And this is what happened.
The sad thing is that Yahoo search still sucks compared to Google search. This, at least, I expected Marissa Mayer to fixed. Regardless, I think Yahoo would have failed anyway.
What has this person done of note, other than charge lots of money for a product? I imagine some here will try to be civil, and ask him a serious question, but why? He is not a remarkable person, so please do not treat him as such. I know, I know, everyone is interesting in their own way, but then, we might as well interview a stomped cockroach on Slashdot next.
SETI@home is old as hell, so the idea of "open source" render farms is at least as old. Those "massive farms of GPUs running 24/7" don't scare me at all. In fact, both Siri and Google's voice recognition kinda suck. When they try to control us with this, or it is revealed that they send all their data directly to the government, I suppose we will have an incentive to act. Otherwise, wake me up when they do something interesting and new.
Honestly, I don't think you read the article. Using Blockbuster and Gamestop as evidence of students being employed in fields related to their degree is not an honorable practice. And that's just one example.
Recruiting people with no programming experience into a degree called "digital entertainment and game design" is a little suspect, in my opinion. You all know the story: a young kid loves playing video games, so he wants to become rich writing the next blockbuster. But alas, this requires programming skills, so instead he changes his major to sociology...unless, he is attending a trade school with no liberal arts majors, in which case he just walks away with huge debt.
I disagree a little. The H1B by definition is for the incredibly exceptional, for there can be no equivalent US workers available. The minimum should be more like 200,000-250,000.
Yeah, and if you switch girlfriends, you are just trading one set of problems for another, so why bother? You do realize that you might be infected by decades of anti-union propaganda?
Realizing that switching from a proprietary solution is not just hard, but it is in fact by design (and you're wasting money) provides an incentive to switch.

My guess: they probably have the source code to Windows.
No, they were save by GNU/Linux. A majority of the code in Ubuntu is Debian GNU/Linux.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Site is suffering a DDoS attack, and we slashdot it.
Hopefully by Black Friday there will be $300 4K monitors. My eyesight will be very pleased.
A when Windows 10 updates its kernel, it's still called...Windows 10.

Goodness, isn't that similar to what happened to blacks during the early 20th century too?
I suppose racism against black people ended sometime before 1950.
This is the best interview I've ever seen on Slashdot. Thanks!

I agree, My company regular ignores HXU's and simply gets minimal WUD's for running our PFG's.
I love these articles. It makes all the white guys here go crazy. The perfect troll.
How do you know it wasn't 75 trillion copies of lorem ipsum, uncompressed?
Cancel the event for the next ten years. It's a sham anyway.
