> You can't teach a stubborn old self taught programmer with 40 years experience why it is better to have maintainable code than to save a few CPU cycles if he doesn't want to hear it.
And yet you complain about Microsoft always taking up all the gains in CPU/memory speeds?
Alternative explanation would be that they have no arguable knowledge/precognitions of significance yet, therefore are easier to uptrain in the workplace.
If you use the cheapest consumer pieces of crap from Dell as an example - sure. Their business class machines (the ones with at least remotely comparable build quality) are not _that_ much cheaper.
Expressing personal opinion about the quality of service on a site specifically designed to permit this service doesn't quite cut as an accusation.
On the other hand, given some of rumoured yelp business practices (in particular if you refuse their suggestions to take care of the negative comments and listing ranking) this might have some interesting implications if the IP ranges of the comments turn out to be affiliated with yelp.
Funnily enough it comes from the fact that first blackberry devices were based on J2ME - something which had granular permissions baked in pretty much since day one (not all manufacturers handled them properly, but most majors did without a blip).
Still priced above iPad. Not to say anything against the Surface, but it'll only become a viable product at around £200 or so. Anything above just prices it out of the market.
What about the following hypothetical chat in the white house:
POTUS: We gotta sort this out, this dragnet thing is unacceptable. NSAOfficial: Of course, Mr President, I completely agree. On a completely unrelated note, would you care to take a look at this, rather thick, folder - obviously we would have to declassify it should we find a viable way to proceed with this route. Our analysts have market the sections you might find most interesting with post it notes. POTUS:...
You are a confused man and it appears you might have never used ether one of those.
The use cases are completely different. You cannot seriously talk about substituting BerkeleyDB with PostgreSQL (not that it wouldn't work, but it is so far at each extremes of persistence spectrum when it comes to functionality and operational overhead that they might as well be from different planets).
Actually I felt that the movie was ruined due to 3d. If half of your movie consists of blatant 'show-off 3d' shots it's rather hard to enjoy the story.
Now, let's hope that Hollywood follows suit. The situation where there are no movies to watch because everything is ether in 3d or in the shittiest corner screens is slightly disappointing. At least when I want to give them some money.
Meh. One thing we can deduct for sure is that in chance of (dead certainty) there being an actual intelligence out there - they will keep good distance from us.
That fuckwit took the office, rewrote the constitution for his religious liking and got rid of any judges he didn't like. The problem wasn't the democratic elections, but what happened afterwards.
Let's not forget that after getting Democratically elected the government did a little 180, changed the constitution to Islamic spew of hate and shut down majority of judicial oversight. There wouldn't be another democratic elections, in example.
So yeah, strangely enough, a year after having lost to protests Egyptian army seem to be stepping up as the good guys. We'll see how it goes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa there. In actuality they got slightly drunk, exchanged a bunch of good jokes, couple - not so good ones, arrived at the destination, posed for couple of photos and got their PA's rattle off some politically correct stuff.
The only think what is unsure is why - surely they can afford the flight? Perhaps the whole idea was a brainchild of somebody looking for a knighting and this seemed like a good and reliable way to start associating him/her-self with 'multi-faceted visionaries that are providing insights on how to expand our reach into future'?
Sure, but don't forget that for residental connections there is quite large fixed component of latency in the last mile. IIRC circa 20ms for cable, 5-6ms for DSL and 2-3ms for radio (commercial uplink models, not modded wifi routers).
Would have been a great deal at launch, with all the implications of shipping in thousands and somebody perhaps maybe bothering with more software for it. Nowadays - not quite so.
Ecosystems have value. Their fate is often determined at launch.

The cars will come with a handy mercury application and instructions on best points to apply it to.

You meant possible triggering of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_(nuclear_war), right?

Uhm, these are British codewords. We are discussing the US here, the black chamber have their own codewords.

POTUS:
If America is so broken, why is English the international language today?
England and our colonies?
Always been a fan of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE_5eiYn0D0 recording. Coolness of pilots just about to ditch it down is rather impressive.

I tried.

So, let's give up the cities then?

Define: energy.
You meant software architects, not programmers, right?
I don't even think you made that up. But which is the 'other' article?
