So humor you might use with your friends with whom you have understandings creates a problem when you use it publicly?
I thought any kind of humor you want to use is always acceptable in all contexts. It never occurred to me that one might want to use diplomacy in a public project that you want wide acceptance of.
This is obviously an attempt by the US to sabotage the Chinese economy by getting them to engage in the same kind of economic masturbation that the US does. Do we really want Chinese physicists working on new technologies when ours are at the stock exchanges? If they do that they clean our clocks and completely dominate us.
The levitating road allows vehicles to sail and move by fan power with no friction for much greater fuel efficiency. China is right for being proud of this road.
If my company doesn't find out about it I'm not. I work for a place that is as cheap as hell though. I wouldn't necessarily want to be on multiple boxes though. It's convenient to just have one good one.
It says it hooks into the Cisco deskphones and can lets you get work calls everywhere. Oh, and your IT department controls it.
I certainly look forward to running Eclipse on a tablet and taking work calls at all hours on a machine I can't administer. Thanks Cisco!
First of all, I have plenty of experience with managers who think they can code a complex website because they can write SQL queries. I say learn to get your hands dirty doing, but don't do it to get in the way of your engineers. Just learn to understand what their job is, don't try to do it.
Now I think the key to writing good code is experience. School, websites, books, etc don't really teach what you should be doing to build and maintain a complex production site. While you can learn things like design patterns, the abstract knowledge isn't that helpful without diving in and knowing why to code that way based on your experience. You'll learn quickly that programming languages like Java aren't really that hard, per se. But coding a site requires a lot of other knowledge (CSS, database stuff, server stuff) and a lot of wisdom about what is good coding.
That being said, there are a few things to learn to even be able to code for web environment. You need to know your front-end, which is HTML, CSS, Javascript. You need to know SQL. And then I suppose you'd need to know a language. Learn whatever language the site is in, I suppose. I say the best thing for you to do is maybe just concentrate on front end stuff, and make some mock-ups for your engineers. But in the end, you just have to learn what team work is about and not think you can know how to be a software engineer without actually doing it as your profession.
I didn't "learn how to think" in college. And I did go in thinking I would. I know plenty of people who have degrees and don't really seem to know much about anything, and don't know how to reason. College teaches you nothing that you can't learn through independent learning and being a student of life. I find a person's knowledge level and reasoning ability are correlated to their desire to develop those abilities. If you learn anything useful in college it's how to brown-nose professors and tell them what they want to hear, and I'll grant you that that is an important skill.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but what about something like the pool plus, except not in the river? I mean the swimming pool is an old idea, what the point of putting it in a river? Why not put it next to the river, treat the water river water with chlorine, put it in the pool, and dump the old water back into the river or just down the sewer?
I broke my cord, bought another expensive one. It had the adapter end. Kept coming out, and stopped working after a year or so, and bought another that will hopefully last longer. They avoid standards to get money from you. Hopefully they'll make a standard and then companies will follow it.
There where many questions regarding the fact that it is an unregulated currency. Unless you are a pretty staunch Friedmanist, you acknowledge that governments have to regulate markets and manipulate currency to keep the economy running (and stop pump and dump schemes etc.).
Since bitcoin seems to be completely resistant to any manipulation, it seems that governments not only can't do nasty big-brother type things, but also can't do the kinds of things we need it to do to stop depressions. I am disappointed to these issues being completely skirted.
I've been coding Java professionally for years. It never even occurred to me that it needed unsigned integers. Why does it NEED that? For one thing, it's an object-oriented language, so if you want to, you make make your own class that implements it. I don't think that would even create a lot of overhead. Most new languages that compete don't even let you work with primitives at all.
You know, a lot of celebrities accept all friend requests. It sort of doesn't matter, because they know not to put important info on their page. And isn't 697 a low number of friends for a spambot? You can have 5,000 friends.
Well, you can be an intellectual who believes that one can develop their intellect without school and that college doesn't do a lot to help you. I happen to belong to this school of thought. I know plenty of college graduates who have not mastered formal logic, abstract thinking, written expression, nor have they come out of college knowing much about anything really.
Just as I've met many liberal arts grads who possess less liberal arts knowledge than myself. I know many people with technical degrees that don't know how to apply their knowledge outside narrow limits and also know little about the world. Likewise, I've met plenty of people who did not go to college (generally due to lack of opportunity) who are quite intellectual and knowledgeable and, in some cases, excellent writers.
In my opinion, the most important factor in whether you develop your intellect is having a desire to do so. We've had libraries for a long time, and with the Wikipedia, a sufficiently motivated and talented person could become a self-taught mathematician if they have a high school diploma and enough free time.
Great intellectuals who did not have much formal schooling include Joseph Campbell, Michael Faraday, and Srinivasa Ramanujan. And, of course, all great intellectual accomplishments come from self-learners of great intellectual curiosity.

Also, at the beginning of X3 Jean Grey is recruited by a walking Professor X and Magneto. This is consistent if this is taken to take place during the events of First class, except that Ian McClenan and Patrick Stewart are playing the younger selves.
But you know what? I don' want consistency as much a great story. If there's too much mythology, I see forget and take some poetic license. Was this story faithful to much of anything? Not really. Was it good? I say it was very good.

We don't need a lot of big government creating new technology and improving our energy consumption!

Do you think the government should maybe subsidize broadband connections instead?

I take it you hire people who allow education to interfere with their learning.

Slashdot hasn't posted it's daily Bitcoin story yet. If Canada switched to Bitcoin, that would be a story!
This story needs a nice bitcoin tie-in. For example, what is the values of RIM in bitcoin?
I would be happy to pay five billion bigsexyjoe nickels for you to stop running bitcoin stories. Thank you

Just write your stuff in Javascript and it runs anywhere. It is perhaps one of the most important languages now. Does this make you happy?

I was thinking about the fact that he never got a PhD and insisted on being called Mr. Campbell. And most of his learning was on his own.
