This is about freshman courses. You are not expected to be finished after the first semester. You are expected to learn the basics you need to know in order to get the most of the courses in the later semesters. For example, in my first semester physics courses, the majority of courses weren't actually physics, and the physics course wasn't very deep. Actually it was more of a math study with a bit of low-level physics added on top. The actual physics came later. After the first semester, I didn't know too much about physics which I didn't already know before; I did, however, know a lot more about the math I needed to understand the physics in the later semesters.
No one said Mozilla should not offer that certificate for those who need it. They can even install it on the browser for one-click enabling. However what they should not do is enable it by default.
Ideally, when you first visit a site for which Mozilla has a root certificate but it's not enabled, it should tell the user what certificate it is, and if he wants to enable it (without a big, scary security warning, just "this site uses a certificate issued by TURKTRUST; the root certificate is available, do you want to enable it?") Then if it's a Turkish site, I'll just enable the certificate, while if it's Yahoo, I'll conclude that it's likely compromised and don't enable it.
I don't think the point is specifically the trustworthyness of TURKTRUST, but that it's an example of a certificate which likely is completely useless for him, just like a plethora of other such certificates, all of which are trusted by default. If any of those is broken, you are vulnerable by default. If you enable only those which you actually use, your vulnerability is greatly reduced.
My previous desktop computer failed after about seven years. And yes, integrated circuits do wear out. Indeed, the smaller the structures, the sooner the chip will fail.
Germany has shut down all of its nuclear reactors?
No. Only the seven oldest ones. And no, there's no switchover to coal. There's just less selling electricity to neighbouring countries (they probably will buy from the French nuclear plants instead...).
Unfortunately I can't get to it from the German Amazon site (and I don't know how to get to the U.S. version of the site). Do you have a direct link to that comment?
So what? Already today the chips are just perfect for most applications. Add 20 more years of Moore's law, and we won't even need more powerful chips. You'll have the power of today's supercomputers on your cell phone. I doubt Moore's law would continue even if physically possible, because there will be no need for it.
so what you're saying then, is that if I put a locked box on your property, or out in public property (like the air that we all share) that it's wrong for you to open the lock and look inside?
So you think you're entitled to open someone else's locked car if it is standing on public property (like a public parking lot)? And you think it's OK to look into the laptops of your visitors even without their consent (because after all, they are on your property now)?
Satellite TV is a perfect example of this: just because some company decided to put some tech up 20,000KM in the sky and stream a modulated signal at my head without ever asking me about it, not being a customer I'm not allowed to build a device that turns that encrypted signal into something that might entertain me like moving pictures or noises?
That's different in quite a lot respects. First, the satellite stream is not private data. Anyone can get at it legally by paying for it. So while it is still illegal, it's not a breach of privacy. Second, when decrypting the satellite signal, you do not interfere with the satellite network. You do not send data to the satellite. You do in no way cause additional cost for the owners of the satellite, or reduce their available bandwidth. OTOH, when accessing a secured wireless network, you are not just listening to it, you are sending to it. You send packets to be routed to hosts on the internet, and the response to be sent back to you. Moreover, you will do so using the IP of the network owner. You'll enter his IP into web server log files where he possibly doesn't want it. If you download pirated files, you may cause legal trouble for him. And even if not, depending on what you access through the network, you may still cause trouble. Imagine for example, you are visiting a dating site through someone's router, and his wife finds that on the router's log file. While nothing illegal, he will still likely be in trouble now.
information needs to be available to people, the cheaper the better.
Do you have you mails, mp3, movies, documents on your router? I dont think so.
Then you are obviously not aware of modern home routers. On mine, there's an USB port where you can add an external hard disk and make it double as ftp or file server. Also, since it also handles VoIP, it has an integrated answering machine function. Which means an additional set of audio files stored on it.
Actually, performances are a new work (they add something not found in the scores, as can be checked by listening to performances by different artists).

If your goal is to get a programmer job, maybe you should have chosen to study software engineering instead of computer science.
However I wonder on the reasoning: OOP is anti-modular? How that?

It's not a sport unless it can kill you. - Hemingway
Eating too much can kill you. So I guess if my doctor tells me I should do more sports, going to McDonalds for a few extra burgers is sufficient.
They do physical activity: They physically move physical pieces on a physical chess board.

Do they also support looking at one screen while typing on the other?
Are you sure it's not "... who was washing ..."?
I don't know the book, but "is" doesn't start with "w".
Well, it's a fortune pudding, containing a proof as fortune. :-)
How much of it do you really re-watch? You'll spend the rest of your life transferring it from medium to medium. Is it worth it?
Yeah, that's also why encyclopedias are useless. You won't ever look up more than 1% of all entries.

Indeed, nothing is more efficient at fueling irrational fear than withholding information.

Even if Moore's law come to an end, we can still improve the performance of the systems via parallelism.
And by returning to writing efficient software.
So what? Already today the chips are just perfect for most applications. Add 20 more years of Moore's law, and we won't even need more powerful chips. You'll have the power of today's supercomputers on your cell phone. I doubt Moore's law would continue even if physically possible, because there will be no need for it.
