Guerrillas armed mostly with small arms forced my country out of Afghanistan in 1989. And the Red Army wasn't as keen on keeping civilian casualties low. During WW2 (which as far as weapon destructiveness is concerned I consider a part of the modern era) resistance in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe and Russia successfully disrupted Nazi operations, especially in places where terrain obstructed large scale armor movement.
The freshman curriculum for a math major (you pick your major when you submit your application)
is (per week)
1) Mathematical Analysis: 4 hours of lectures, 4 hours of problem solving seminars
2) Higher Algebra: (Algebraic structures, vectors spaces and so on) 4 hours of lectures, 4 hours of problem solving seminars
3) Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of problem solving seminars
4) Number Theory: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of problem solving seminars
5) Theory of Algorithms: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of problem solving seminars
6) Introductory CS: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of labs
7) History of Russia: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of seminars
8) Physical education: 2 hours
I've been to the US and I've never seen anything like that. And picking a math major is considered "slacking", if you are unfortunate enough to pick Physics major you get almost as much math + physics +
killer LABS every day. During your third year you're supposed to find a working scientist and under his guidance produce a thesis. This is why the parent said that the degree is equivalent to US Masters.
Not if by "hungry" he actually meant hungry. Like not having eaten anything in the last few days. Try it ans see if you still got desire and will to sit at your pc and work on your pet project.
This is silly, old age is hardly a surprise and any rational person prepares for it with savings for instance. A large family with many children can also be seen as insurance for the old age. If you stayed single and spent all your money on expensive toys then you really have no-one to blame but yourself.
Impressive but useless, that's not how you demonstrate if you want to achieve something. And I'm not talking about resorting to violence. Demonstrations are effective only if they persists for days, weeks, longer of necessary. If a million people showed up every day for a week, than I'm sure it would have been noticed. Prolonged hunger strikes are effective too. But I guess noone cared enough to really put their heart into it.
Agreed, it maybe fun to attack Scientology, but if you look at it from a more general point of view they are all the same. Making absurd claims about Nature and taking your money and time in return for something they cannot guarantee to deliver.
There is a saying about exceptions and rules. Investors thought that ordering pet food on the internet was a viable market and funded it with tens of millions of dollars.
Mutation, yes you covered that? But what about the other major part - natural selection? If every member of the spieces survives to procreation age and leaves offspring, where does it leave natural selection? With very little selection pressure the rate of evolutionary change must go down.
I'm sure he is, but the point is that not everyone has resources and time to represent himself (or to hire lawers) in court against alleged GPL violators.
A LOT of people want to go through live without thinking about real implications of their decisions, then they "suddenly" find themselves homeless and in the streets. I don't think RMS wants to outlaw Cloud Computing, this is a warning and those who have a brain will hear it and the rest will "suddenly" find themselves in another hole of their own digging.
You are unfair to him, he used to do just that - rewriting the code he disagreed with from scratch: The book "Free as in Freedom" talks about a curious episode that happened during the Symbolics War.
When Symbolics stopped sending over its source-code changes, Stallman responded by holing up in his MIT offices and rewriting each new software feature and tool from scratch. Frustrating as it may have been, it guaranteed that future Lisp Machine users had unfettered access to the same features as Symbolics users.
It also guaranteed Stallman's legendary status within the hacker community. Already renowned for his work with Emacs, Stallman's ability to match the output of an entire team of Symbolics programmers-a team that included more than a few legendary hackers itself-still stands has one of the major human accomplishments of the Information Age, or of any age for that matter. Dubbing it a "master hack" and Stallman himself a "virtual John Henry of computer code," author Steven Levy notes that many of his Symbolics-employed rivals had no choice but to pay their idealistic former comrade grudging respect.
The reason he doesn't do this anymore is that having gained the notariety he can more effectively advance his causes by traveling around the world and giving lectures and interviews than by spending all his time reimplementing every cloised source programme. That would be dumb indeed.
The answer is in your message, you just don't see it. Back when VAX/VMS ruled the world enterprise level applications required gigabytes of storage, now, as you correctly pointed out we have flash drives bigger and faster than that.
But today we have terrabyte databases, and terrabytes of data to match, where are the flash drives to handle that?
Just like VMS of yesterday, Solaris of today is the best option to handle the data load of today, and yes the market is growing and there is no shortage of data.
Yeah, thank God (hehe) for the Internet archive. Maybe if he spent less time playing Starcraft and Warcraft 3 and on pseudo-philosophical quasi-religios nonsense.... He does sound crazy, like TimeCube crazy.
Don't listen to this guy! I've done dozens of interviews both as an emploee and as a compnay owner. Once the interview starts your appearance doesn't really matter (unless it's really, really offensive). Don't prepare any answers in adbance, just be relaxed and honest. Think of an interview as a little fun adventure. One more thing, nothing makes me want not to hire you like prepared answers. Like last week I had this guy with big ears, so when I asked him about.. about something.. so he shot out this obviously prepared answers how it helped him succeed in high-stress situatiuons despite odss being stacked against him.
I have a wm6 smartphone, maybe it's a little buggy but it is the most open of all mobile phone platforms. The SDK is free,integration with VS is superb and unlike iphone, android and symbian platforms you can develop and install any kind of application for it.
Like having more doctors and something to eat three times a day makes people's life much much worse. Chavez is a hero of all socially progressive people all over the world.

Hopefully, no religion too.

I strongly believe very recently read right here about exactly same situation only last time the guy took a tech support job after college.
Why not Scheme then? It's even easier and the syntax can be learnt in 15 min.
I'm not sure about how you came to this conclusion. With both spouses working there is actually a smaller chance of catastrophic loss of income.
So, in your part of the world, what do you do when an armed criminal enters your house?
Mutation, yes you covered that? But what about the other major part - natural selection? If every member of the spieces survives to procreation age and leaves offspring, where does it leave natural selection? With very little selection pressure the rate of evolutionary change must go down.
Or maybe he's seen No Country for Old Men.
But Steve was a merely millionaire not a billionaire!

You do know the reason behind the FSF copyright assignment, right? If you transfer you GPL code to FSF than they can defend it against GPL violators.

Air has a more powerful CPU and Video Card than the regular Macbook and you are saying it's only good for browsing and editing?
Yeah, thank God (hehe) for the Internet archive. Maybe if he spent less time playing Starcraft and Warcraft 3 and on pseudo-philosophical quasi-religios nonsense.... He does sound crazy, like TimeCube crazy.
