One possible reason that it doesn't work as expected is because the Opera server alters the content before it gets transferred to your phone. It shrinks the images and rewrites the code. This makes it viewable on your handset's tiny screen, saves bandwidth, and also saves your phone's limited resources. The tradeoff is that a lot of the code, tags and attributes required for AJAX applications are discarded.
I was a self-motivated go-getter who learned programming independantly back in primary and high school. When I graduated from high school I tried to get a job, but without any work experience or formal training in the field, no one would give my resume a second look.
Once I got that degree, I got the first job I applied for.
Once my potential employers were happy that I had a degree, they were delighted about the fact that I had been programming for over a decade as a hobby before receiving any formal traing. But without that degree they didn't give a rats arse.
The problem is that most hirers don't think like you do, so we in the job market need to jump through hoops, like getting degrees and certifications, in order to get noticed.
While I agree that there are plenty of those "drones" as you put it with degrees and no real problem solving skills, there are certainly plenty of talented people out there who have gotten that degree.
It's a UN thing. Only the founding members of the UN (US, Russia, France, China, UK) are permitted to develop nukes, ostensibly for peacekeeping purposes.
Anyone wanting to join the UN has to agree to this and not develop nuclear weapons. In return they get access to nuclear theory and technology to make (for example) nuclear energy reactors.
If you're a country and you want to develop nukes, then you're in for some serious trouble. If you're a member of the UN then you're breaking the rules, so everyone gets pissed off at you. If you're not a member of the UN then you're considered to be the bad guys, so everyone gets pissed off at you.
The problem is that as a country you can't really afford to have everyone pissed off at you because you face things like international pressure, political sanctions and pre-emptive strikes. In today's globalised interdependent economy, these things really matter.
Maybe make another data structure which contains a list of constraints, sort of like a data representation of all of those if-then-else statements. You can customise the data structure and make it as simple or as complicated as it needs to be to support the processing of those rules.
That way, you can also associate comments and descriptions with those rules which might make it easier to come back to or introduce new people to. Especially if you represent the rules in a particularly user-friendly way (eg. In a database or an XML file as opposed to a binary dump of your data structure into a file) then you allow for simple editting of these constraints using existing tools, and as an added bonus, avoid the need for a recompile each time the constraints need to be changed.
Of course, the disadvantage of this approach is slower execution of your code. If that is a priority then this wouldn't be the best idea:)
If the US wants to keep space peaceful, why are they the only country with a program for orbital weapons (SDI)? Given that they've demonstrated all too much willingness to use the weapons they've already got, not to mention a remarkable level of disregard for the sovereignty of other countries, I say we bomb them back into the stone age.
Ok, a little facetious. A little.
But they should remember that one should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
I would say we live in age when unnecessary things are our only necessities, but then I'd have to remind myself that a cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
The thing you have to take into account here though is that it takes a certain amount of maturity and life experience to be able to laugh at yourself like that, especially when you've got the whole world's attention and are subject to their ridicule.
I remember back when I was in high school. You can laugh at yourself to a point, but eventually the continued taunting starts to leave emotional scars. Yeah I got over it, but back then it was hell. It's not difficult to imagine that a high school kid, especially one who probably has been bullied quite a bit throughout the years, is getting effected by this sort of attention in a very major sort of way.
I agree with what you're saying, he could laugh at himself and gain some self confidence, and it would be the best thing for him to do. But given the world-wide scale of this, and the fact that he might not have that maturity and life experience I mentioned earlier, I'd frankly be very surprised if he was actually able to shrug it off, laugh at himself and gain that self confidence.
All that I know is that if I ever see this kid IRL, I'm going to shake his hand and not make him feel bad about this is any way.
Do you want to have the capacity do whatever you want? Or only what other people let you?
Cellular is the way to go if you only ever want to do what the big corporations let you, and as a bonus you get to pay through the arse for the privelage.
Wireless is the way to go if you want to do whatever you want, and you'd like to keep your hard earned cash in your pocket, thank you very much.
Good point. I'm sure you realise however that this is what researchers do best: taking a subset of data and using that to make a conclusion about a superset of facts outside the scope of the original data.
The real decicated ones do this the best! I could tell them I had Corn Flakes for breakfast and somehow they could conclude that we're heading for a recession.
I've noticed that the HR dept at work is good at this kind of thing too. Don't ask them for a pay rise, because whenever you do, your job industry is always doing below par and they cannot justify trickling any more money your way. Don't even think about trying to argue the point with your own data either. They always know better.
When I was just a lad, these Slashdot dupe things where a rare occurance. Boy they were a big occasion! Whole families used to go and see them, it was like a day trip. But now, now you see them everywhere! Whereever you look there are Slashdot dupes! You young folk have it easy. You don't need to remember things anymore, because everything you need to know on Slashdot is duplicated without failure every couple of hours!
Don't ask me about Vegemite either. Apparently it's not even Australian anyway, and it's owned by a foreign cigarette company, but don't quote me on that.
And don't worry, I know how insignificant we are.:) Reminds me of a joke me and my friends throw about here sometimes (probably a rip-off of something even funnier, but anyway):
"Quick we're being invaded! Send in the Airforce!" "We can't" "Why not??" "The propellor's broken" "Ok then, send in the Navy!" "Sorry, no can do" "Why is that?" "There's a hole in the sail" "What about the Army?" "Afraid not" "No?" "He's fixing the propellor"

Maybe I'll go work for the Microsoft Games Division and ask for a small salary :)

Take some hints of this guy. He seems to have it all worked out :)
I'd tell you why the government spends so much on keeping secrets, but it's classified.

Which community are you talking about? In this one they use the words Speech and Beer :)
deltree /y \windows
;-)
But then again, I guess most of you don't think that's a terribly big mistake
Unless you're talking about their router's network traffic lights... which are probably blinken like crazy... ;)

Ok.. I just realised that any good search engine robot that behaves itself won't have a problem... ignore me :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that also work on search engine robots as well?
It might not be the best idea if you want all of your pages to be listed on Google or something.
Tron. Don't forget to mention this classic.
Although quite shoddy by today's standards, it got the ball rolling for computerized special effects in cinema.
The Last Starfighter came soon after. That was a bit more impressive.
I remember watching these films as a kid and being blown away.
So what you're saying is that information really DOESN'T want to be free?

for social advice? Are you insane?

YES!

Check out the screen shots. The game almost has better special effects than the film itself :)
I'll be nice and let you in on the joke :)
...so you don't REALLY need a trillion places for that calculation, unless you're slightly desperate.
Euler's formula is e^(i*x) = cos(x) + i*sin(x)
If you let x = pi, then you get
e^(i*pi) = cos(pi) + i*sin(pi)
e^(i*pi) = -1 + i*0
e^(i*pi) = -1
