Exactly. And also of note that biology and life science degrees are also considered to be easier than the physical sciences and engineering disciplines due mainly to the lack of advanced mathematical concepts and rigor. It is turtles all the way down (or up?) though, and if people are being condescending to others studying humanities, or what is contrived to be an easier/less rigorous field, you should take a minute to look at the people studying electrical engineering, who have no time to be condescending!:-)
Right. You don't get people switching to Biology because it is too hard, what you do get is a ton of Biology students that have no real interest in Biology and just want to "become a doctor" (note that they do not really want to practice medicine).
Actually, (even with no evidence) I believe that at least a third of these people have no real interest in biomedical research, they are just doing it as a graduate student because there are almost no other options available. They did not make it into Medical school (or could not afford it) and have no other option with an undergraduate degree in Biology.
Not going to medical school and with no real idea of what to do in the 'real world' with their biology degree and an advisor talking about grant money, they are encouraged to apply to graduate work in biomedical research or something similar. They don't really care about it though, they are just failed doctoral students.
Call me biased, but too many freshman level advisors tell people to study Biology.
it's also a translation, some people forget that the English version of the Bible was not the first. how do you know in the original that know in the know was 'know' and not 'know', we will never know.
when things move as fast as satellites move, you never really know where they are. even a 0.01% uncertainty in velocity of a typical satellite going ~2000m/s... after about a minute the resulting position would have a bounding box of 12 meters. Now, after an hour, a day? It's not too difficult to lose track of where you need to point your radars to find your bird.
[Calculation is very general, I pulled that 0.01% velocity uncertainty from my ass]
Think of it what you will, but unless you've tried to write a small-medium sized project in Python (as suggested by ESR: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3882 ) then you don't know what you're missing, especially if you're moving from Java.
If you read the article, on page2 it says that OpenJDK is already ported to OSX. However, it is incomplete in the UI sense; it only uses X11 libraries and the Java integration with Cocoa/the native UI doesn't exist.
Nothing was ever designed in Alabama. Defense contractors in Southern California (mainly Los Angeles) used fabrication facilities to manufacture things in Alabama, but all of the science was done in LA. All of the scientific brainpower for those companies have never resided in Huntsville, it's a shithole.
And JPL? I thought that was a Caltech institution? You know, in eastern Los Angeles? And Los Alamos National Lab in Santa Fe, NM might have something to do with the design of the nuclear bomb.
Because a company or an institution has offices in a rural southern state for cheap menial jobs, does not mean that those laborers contribute science or engineering designs. They don't.
This is a good list. If for one, it shows that the original author might look beyond the boundaries of libraries written in C++. I personally would recommend numpy (http://www.numpy.org) because I've been doing mostly python coding in the last few years. Also, to note, that some/most of the backend to numpy is written in C.
However, if the submitter really wants to start contributing to open source libraries, they really should start at writing test cases and documentation. Contributing code to them is not something that maintainers usually like to take from people that are not associated with the project. Joining the mailing list was a good idea, but they really should download the code and run the set of test cases. Then, knowing what he knows, look into his area of expertise and see if there is test coverage he could add.
In summary, look into an alternate programming language library, download and run the library's test cases and fill in the test case coverage and write it up in their documentation.

I am very much the same way. I've read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, to the point where I'll try anything that someone recommends. The problem is that I can't always keep track of/what/ I've read. Oftentimes, I get a book... get to like page 25 and realize that I've read it before sometime in my youth. I had no idea when i picked it up, but when the plot and characters are starting to be developed, my brain remembers it.
P.S. I hope that you have read Joe Abercrombie's series, Rothfuss "Name of the Wind" (only first book out, good good stuff), and Brent Week's Nightangel Trilogy. They are all under related books at Amazon, and they are all awesomely rad.
Fourteen year olds aren't creative enough to make up those type of words. They are knowledgeable enough to pick up on them though, and re-use the extensions of human textual speech that security experts, hipsters, and 30 year old MMO veterans create.

Just purchase a top of the line desktop workstation and run your linux flavor of choice on it. You can get a dell workstation to fit those exact specs for $4000. Then get yourself a UPS and call it a day.

His point stands. The larger laptop is heavier and bulkier.
This is disregarding the fact that the things that the macbook beats the hp in (processor speed, video card, etc.) you just ignore. Without a conclusion explanation, I am not really certain how you came to determine that your 17" hp has the "exact specs" as the macbook.
Go the opposite way: look at the $999 macbook and see if you can find a machine that is comparable.
Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation really go a long way to informing a reader about the subject. With those three things, along with logical paragraph break-down in a semi-lengthy on-topic reply you are usually going to get moderated up.
Presentation counts for a lot, especially on topics that are complex and not completely understood by the main-stream reader. I understand that content trumps presentation, but I'd much rather read a eloquent post about something that leads me to become more interested in a topic (even if not 100% correct) than non-knowable gibberish that is technically spot-on.
Those wrongly-informated +5s usually are well written. Well written posts are hard to down-rate.
The problem is that people like me install Ubuntu on thier home desktop machine. I understand apt and all of the debian specific configuration file locations.
When I go into work and have to work on the RHEL servers, I can mostly get yum and rpms to work for the server configuration that I want, but god damn if it isn't like pulling teeth.
Now that I have enough power, and I have to make a decision on which distro to get support from, do I go with something that I know (Debian/Ubuntu and Canonical?) or something that is similiar yet foreign (Redhat/RHEL)?
The last 3 servers that I've been in control of have been Ubuntu.
The same happens the other way too. I've had a manager in a different part of a large corporate company asks to see my resume... and then just copy+paste my resume skills and relevant information into the job requisition. They either wanted me to apply for it, or wanted someone with my skillset.

Actually, I thought it deserved a comment because he reversed the usage on both:
Google has plans to scale they're broadband experiment up to 50,000-500,000 homes before their done.
Should be "Google has plans to scale thier..." and "...homes before they're done."
Such improper usage leads me to believe that the original poster just does not understand proper grammar.
You're wrong, please don't be defensive.
