The problem with the market is the volatility. With millisecond trading and shorts, the average idiot doesn't stand a chance. You are totally correct regarding derivatives and high frequency trading, but I can't read your position, do you think this is good? Not that we can do anything about it.
I've been in the tech business since computers were built from TTL and every year it just gets more difficult. In the old days ( queue farm machinery sounds ) We had someone to do documentation, a secretary to handle simple, everyday tasks, a manager that would usually look out for your ass and other people that took care of all the other crap so you could design and code. Not any more. Now I produce all the documentation, including press ready manuals and schematics and make my own fucking copies and coffee then I'm expected to debug and add to a code base that is over 500K lines, of which only 30% is mine, the rest was developed somewhere else, in a foreign language. In my dreams, I spend all day coding a linux device driver, studying data sheets and bent over a scope or LA since the chip architects never quite get it right. This is all due to "technology" and the fucked up perception by my masters that it's all easy.
Just like music and the other arts, the ability to express ideas using the tools available increased interest and demand ( this is speculation and conjecture. ) I suspect the owners are thinking free and looking for talent. It's like a contest, without a defined prize.
Still, I'm going to download it, screw with it and ??? Hell Ya.
BZZZZZT!
You have failed your retro recollections. The C64 WAS single thread and all byte/word ops were atomic.
If you want threaded code, use FORTH. Remember to push x/y/a/s on a context switch.
Also a little company called Control C software that developed a BIOS for the Mitsubishi 386 in 1984. Clean room dev interview: Have you ever touched an IBM PC? No. Have you ever seen the IBM technical specs? No. You're hired!
All the minicomputer and mainframe companies in the 60's and 70's had huge users groups and distributed user contributed software. Digital's Decus was IMHO the greatest organization and distributed megs of software. Languages, editors, communications, games. All were available for free. Hardware manufactures saw this as a plus as it would only run on their hardware. Then, Microcomputers and microprocessors, supplied by manufactures that had no tied-in (other then an a chip ) to the customer base appeared. At the same time, So did the likes of bill G and others. The OP is correct.
When the designers figure out that simple Multi-core architectures with lots of external/internal bandwidth and fixed partitioning of processes can we finally get on with the move from the cpu centric / one processor mindset.
I tried to log into my sourceforge account yesterday via SSH and mistyped the url, transposing 2 letters. I got a login prompt and dutifully typed in my username and password, without success. Only after staring at my commands for a minute did I see the error. I immediately changed my password. More squatting scums!
Failing SAFE is a requirement for most of those applications. In most cases, "SAFE" means shutdown with no outputs or a redundant, independent system taking control.
Yes, No sales tax. Unless you live in Washington and work in Oregon. You also pay that 10% tax on food and other items that are exempt in other states.
The remaining ID theft bot network starts purchasing anything left on the net for shipment to Africa. The computer order fulfillment, credit check and shipping machines churn and warehouse bots flood the shipping dock. Finally, the earth is silent as the last Hanna Montana DVD blocks the "holding area". Robots idle waiting for those moist towelette.

When using C++, C is always there. C++ can be rightly ignored. Screw it's contextual syntax.
We have to pick through the preprocessor output to find the broken bits.
I'm sure they have symbols on their keyboards for Infinity-1 and less then zero, but not negative.

Wow, Matt Drudge will lose 90% ( not counting bretbart ) of his links.
You're FIRED!!!!
Yes, you are chewing gum while listening to music and posting to Slashdot.
How is this multitasking and not slacking?

The 8080's register src and dest were encoded in the 6 lsbs. It was easier to mentally decode the instructions in octal, just like the PDP-8

WTF is wrong with you people?
When the designers figure out that simple Multi-core architectures with lots of external/internal bandwidth and fixed partitioning of processes can we finally get on with the move from the cpu centric / one processor mindset.
Wow, That totally escaped me.
Yaking into a netbook will look as silly as a shoephone.
Nobody in the States uses SI units. That's the problem.

The brother JUST THOUGHT it took longer. And No, he's a bogart.
