You want fame from day one? Get an awesome idea and write it from scratch as your own project.
Fixing bugs is the way in, the route to get to the "kudos for realwork" point. Once you're good enough to "fix" feature requests, file these yourself and assign to self.
Definitely yes. Start out with simple, contained bugs. Then move to the bigger ones, that span several modules. Once you get a good understanding of the structure of the project, you can move on to "Feature request" type bug reports.
Can they really differentiate between 50 and 500 tanks gone down the same soil road?
Just keep a mess of tracks hard to track/assign to individual vehicles and you're fine. One tank going in loops for a day will create as many tracks as 1000 tanks splitting up from a column and taking individual positions in the field.
Well, you were a non-contributing citizen, unemployed, maybe even used drugs. How would the policeman's daughter feel if her father died defending some lazy bum from bandits?
It's a slippery slope. Pets today, elder tomorrow...
PHP3 prevented you to perform -any- operations in class member variable initialization. Not even string constants concatenation, so you could split lines to avoid run-on statements. I once had to initialize a string with a very, very long (non-SQL) database request and couldn't even split that. I ended up with a single line over 2000 characters long, which ended with ";//sorry
Remember to pay your crime insurance. Otherwise the next time a bandit stabs you with a knife, the Police will arrive and just look out so that no paying citizen gets stabbed, while you bleed to death.
"While I realize a simple (emphasis on simple) script isn't quite the same thing, this attitude smacks of the "People should just get down and code what they need," thing. No, not really. Not everyone should have to learn that skill, and you could well be excluding people you want by requiring it."
If your business is anything else than a direct copy of some other existing business, 1:1 exact, you WILL need creativity, customization, uniqueness. That means no pre-existing solution will match your needs in a drop-in fashion.
It may not be programming you'll be needing. It may be setting technological line elements in the right order and uploading right recipes. It may be drawing pretty pictures. But it may be also some IT solution, that requires something else from the software than what is purchaseable from the market. The difference may be like 5 lines of code. It may be well within configurable parameters of a pre-existing solution - but finding these parameters may be a challenge. Anyway, you might need some clever thinking, some smart and difficult procedures.
And either you hire a programmer-admin team, or you can depend on your admin to have a little programming to write these 5 lines of code which make or break your business.
This is based on my real experience. 5 lines of code upon which pushed my job ahead of a whole line of identical competitors, gave the company an edge, something none of the others had.
So, they gave him another 2-3 years of reasonable life with an acceptable heart, before his lungs give in. That's still better than "die now." He doesn't have to stay all of that 25 years as a plant, but he can still get as much as he can from what "reasonable quality" of life is left.
And then, when his lungs begin to fail, he will just pull the plug.
The situation is even worse. The market is full of faulty clients (that don't support resume or have faulty support, say, corrupt the file) and of faulty servers - ones that just don't support resume are less of a problem than the ones that claim to support it, and when asked to resume from offset 10000, happily start sending the file from the beginning.
Prius was designed to be affordable, and there aren't not many roads where such speed is usable.
Also, -what- is the emission while running on the turbines directly? The electric drive may be more efficient but still carbon emission occurs while on "dirty drive" and I don't know which engine is more "dirty".
My best bet is it can't reach 205 mph while emitting less CO2 than a Toyota Prius. It's either-or, nice clean drive switchable to "dirty" monster boost on demand.
This. Simple bit operations are vastly faster when implemented in silicon. Think of it. A simple "&" is 8 logic gates in silicon. In CPU it's a fetch value into register, reroute ALU to the bit-and operation, route source to source registers, target to target registers, select word sizes, perform the operation, fill the flag register in...
Or take something else. Reverse order of bits in a word. First is last, last is first. A very common operation, and if I recall correctly, essential in FFT.
i = (i & 0x55555555) << 1 | (i & 0xaaaaaaaa) >> 1;
i = (i & 0x33333333) << 2 | (i & 0xcccccccc) >> 2;
i = (i & 0x0f0f0f0f) << 4 | (i & 0xf0f0f0f0) >> 4;
i = (i & 0x00ff00ff) << 8 | (i & 0xff00ff00) >> 8;
i = (i & 0x0000ffff) << 16 | (i & 0xffff0000) >> 16;
How many CPU cycles would that be...?
Now in silicon, it takes 0 transistors. You just connect first input pin directly to last output pin, second to second-to-last and so on - "twist the ribbon 180 degrees". Zero cycles, zero transistors, speed - as long as the impulse takes to traverse a featureless path in silicon between the steps before and after this one.
It's spelt billion. And 35 billion ATMs is rather much for a start-up, and more than current market demand... oh gawd, there will be more of these than McDonalds and Starbucks...;)
I'm afraid you're missing one point. Sure all the local effects would be as described. But your hand is composed mostly of water. About 2mm diameter by some 2cm length cylinder inside your hand would turn into massively superheated steal over few nanoseconds. Steam that hot, from that amount of water, in that volume has enormous pressure. Maybe the resulting explosion would end near your wrist, but I suspect shrapnels of your own hand bones would kill you.
rickroll was a variation of duckroll, which in turn came to life after 'loli'='duck' was removed, but in turn 'duck' was wordfiltered to 'egg'. thus eggroll-duckroll...

Give the printer a list of words connected with sexual activities, and make it CC any printout containing them to company-wide announce list.

One more problem: if not enough laws are being broken to guarantee a constant flow of fines, more harsh laws will be made.
Lower the speed limits. Shorten the yellow signal. Designate more no-parking zones.
It's a paradox: if means to lower crime rate bring you profit for every crime detected, you'll use any means available to increase the crime rate.
There's a significant difference between someone filing a patent for a technology, and someone mass-manufacturing fully-functional products.
Following your train of thought, airplanes and bicycles have been around since DaVinci...
Well, did these subs give the same radar, heat (and sonar) signatures as the real ones? This appears to be where it's new.

Did they try wrapping towels around their heads to calm it down?
Say what you want, these graphs look like some evil worms from below, kind of parasites that prey on the Deep Ones... Scary.

They ain't not undisappearing irregardless of no lack of none of the file sharers.
Depends on metrics.

No wonder a newer, more expensive car "wins"...
