The move comes as Ford and other car makers start to invest in ways to keep car code secure.
Let's assume ENIAC and 1943 as the start date for modern computing. In nearly 70 years of computing one thing we should all know very well by now is that there is no such thing as secure code. If a user has access to the system it operates on it's inherently insecure.
Similar to your situation, I have memory issues. Mine seems to be short term memory loss, if I do it tons I'll retain it but even then a few months down the road I'll lose it again.
That said, programming as a career may not be for you. This doesn't mean you can't have a hand in software development. There is still Q&A as well as UI design. Either of which you may be suited for.
I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune and wish you the best.
I'm a gamer and even when I was in that age group I was very security conscious even more-se than today. If my computer took a hit from a virus or malware it meant no gaming.
I remember those old times, be home before the street lights come on. Did you used to see how far you could go during a day and still be home before dark? Farthest I go was from Houston, TX to Pasadena, TX and back home before dark. Roughly 14 miles one way, not too shabby for an 8 year old.
Most regions that have a strong belief in a vindictive creator also have archaic stances when it comes to crime, lopping off a hand for stealing. Seems one hell of a deterrent not to steal to me.
I was going to say, it is a huge embarrassment that Mr 10 years of expertise couldn't clean a virus from a computer without using crapware, but that the geeks we have come to know and love get p0wned by them. Irony, not just found between Goldy and Silvery.
The problem is that the measures needed to stop this won't ever happen. It will take population control, which means either people will be limited to 1 child, or mandatory sterilization via a lottery system maybe. Who knows. The only way to stop our encroachment is to reduce the population growth. Otherwise we will just throw our hands up and say "it'll take 2 generations, it's not my problem".
The problem is not so much the people in the schools as the whole no child left behind mentality. Had that been the case when you were in school you may not have been subjected to the ridicule you've most likely experienced. I fully agree with you about the tests catering to the lowest common denominator. Exceptional people should be treated as such and pushed in a way to encourage their pursuit of knowledge. Instead we are stuck with the "reality tv" generation. Insert laugh track here, like we don't know that was a joke.
I'm completely average myself, but I fully agree with you about education. My daughter is in that above average portion of children. I want her to have the education that I was too stupid to realize I needed. I want her to be a thinker, not an underling.
I've watched the American school system degrade into the pathetic excuse for an education system that it is. The whole issue is not as much as getting children interested in this stuff as much as the parents focused on standards of learning. Since no child is able to be left behind you have not just 1 child who is behind instead you now have 34 other students suffering academically due to the one. At what point do you admit something is a failure? Is it when future generations are so dumb they make Frito Pendejo from Idiocracy look like Einstein?
The system is a failure, admit it and move on. Smarter kids should be moved to the head of the class the slower ones should not drag the rest down.
I'm in agreement here. I don't understand why those animals they put down in the millions due to not being able to find them homes, aren't used to feed the starving.
It's a media stunt. Had it been a pet owner that was an rc enthusiast I could possibly see, but this guy sought out someone to do this. Most likely for the notoriety.
So when does your arguments for this minimizing their accomplishment come in?
Why do you assume that it comes just as Google makes changes to the system? Are you positive the change to the system did not stem from them reporting this to Google, and then following safe disclosure practices gave Google time to fix it, before going public. Are you sure they didn't do all this, then report it to Google and collect a "reward" for what they found?

So a Federal judge is below a state judge?
How can the state prosecute if a federal court has thrown it out?

Why longer firework shows of course!

We are talking about an 8 year old. They usually tend to still think their parents are cool at that age.
Find some of these. I remember reading these things as a kid and loved them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure
I find those in lower-crime areas tend to be the shitheads that rob the poor (read Wall Street)!

9 years living in Mexico and you don't speak Spanish very well. I'm calling bullshit on that one.
Funny, to me seems any party that's in office is against consumers having rights.

No that's raising dead cats, he didn't have any money on that copter.

Parent of a child in a public school.

I think it's funny because when the thing crashes it won't be a big deal. Cats always land on their feet.

Leather jacket, belt, shoes at least 95% of the animal was used from meat to eat to clothing, to pet toys. Do you think the artist can say the same?
Would that be overestimating?
Makes me wonder if the founder knows there's an easy way to beat it.
