I think Win8 for ARM devices will approach this... with.Net (managed code) a lot more common, switching out the underlying architecture becomes much less problematic, and far easier for application developers to tweak for portability to the new platform. See what Mono, Moonlight etc for some examples, though not from MS, the concepts can be very similar.
I'd have to say I have some mixed feelings here. I started out doing design work 16 years ago, and fell into the programming. At this point, I'm probably about as high as I am going to go. Not without a programming degree, but without a business/management degree. Getting in the door, if you have any experience isn't that hard. If you participate on OSS projects of any level, you gain some exposure and experience. The company I'm working for is interviewing for a few entry-level programmer positions, and the biggest desires are self-motivated, and can actually think about how the software works.
When you code up a demo, the UI is as important as the backend code. Does the flow make sense, are you putting buttons in the middle of the screen, when they should be anchored to the bottom corners? Are you separating workflow in a single screen into distinct panels/divs/groups? Not all dev projects have full design specs in place before hand, and having to file for "fixes" to broken interfaces is not fun. The irritation often makes me ask, have you ever even *used* a program.
In any case, I agree with the parent post... actually doing something, and something meaningful is far more important than not having anything but a tech/trade school behind you.
We are an all-you-can-eat buffet type of society. In the case of internet, and satellite, it kind of does cost less overall to have it all there... it's there when you need it. As to two-car families, outside of the densely populated cities, when you have more than one person working, it's kind of a necessity... Though two new cars is rough. Also, > $500 a month for many new cars, and even recently used. In any case, it really comes down to priorities. And, of course, spending going to companies who are hosted in countries which export more funds to those countries, than trade imports hurts far more than spending too much for a car.
I support free(er) trade, but only with those countries we're allowed to trade *to*... If we can't sell rice/grain/corn to your country, then maybe we shouldn't be allowing (insert plastic tech-gadget) in from your country.
There is a rather large issue with that... it's not the place of government to make the decision of who can breed... The fact is there have been some *very* influential people in history whose ancestry, or even direct up-bringing are from less than desirable conditions. What you are proposing would lead to a state where only the rich and the good(powerful) can, or should be allowed to have children. The other issue is that those countries with the most out of control population growth aren't the one I live in.
I'm paranoid... generally redundant backups over raid redundancy as Ive had raid1 with both drives dead relatively close together, one time before I had a replacement, my nas box has a spare next to it. Though my intel ssd died att 11 months in my desktop, I still won't go back for my boot+os...
IIRC x86 (Pentium4) carries a wider instruction set with more bang per CPU cycle than ARM/MIPS do, so even then isn't a 1:1 comparison... though it is "good enough" for most people's needs.
I think a lot of action/inaction from the ACLU tends to come from the regional organizations, which will often have action or inaction that would conflict with local orgs from other areas. It really depends. I don't think they are consistent, and do know that there are a few freedoms they don't feel deserve protection, or agree with. IMHO freedom of speech, and the right to bare arms go hand in hand.
I was thinking the same thing... the switch for some instances to NoSQL from RDBMS-SQL is a paradigm shift, as most situations don't need every feature of an ACID RDBMS, and having structured data and faster/distributed lookups can be more important. Mostly-read scenarios benefit greatly from NO-SQL, but when you need transactions, and absolute compliance RDBMS have their place.
In business development, clear understandable code etc (your point 2) is far more important... hardware gets faster, more obtuse code gets slower to maintain. There are also places for one vs. the other. Right now, async and distributed loads are becoming more popular as scaling out is a better use of money and resources than scaling up, as the single fastest query on your database server is limited to a single CPU and IO channels... period, the best way to grow now is out.
True, but anything really compelling... IE richer content or story over "Angry Birds" as an example, could probably go for $5-10 and still be very competative. If I could get the classic Super Mario Bros 1-3 etc, like the extra that came with the SNES for $10 I'd go for it, and many have... Sega has gone this route with a lot of their classics in an all you can eat manner.
I don't think it would be *REALLY* hard for the big N to adapt, I think Sega made the jump a lot sooner, but if N came up with a nice bluetooth input device for misc phones, they could go a long way and make "any" phone a gameboy, and play a lot of those old titles for android and iphone at least.
I always DIY my desktop, but laptops are a crapshoot, my current LT is a Macbook Pro, it was the best option to me hardware wise... that, and it's metal, not plastic and doesn't overheat should I use it in bed or, you know, on my lap. I paid about a $600 premium over similar internals, but to me that was worth it.. mac snobs still tickme off though, and find it amusing to see a macbook running linux, tethered to an android phone.
That's what I was thinking... I was considering trying a test project where there were several virtual systems ipv6, that ran an application stack, and one in/out message queue system to/from them... could be fun. node + mongodb + rabbitmq
I think you have those backwards.. IPv4 will continue to be used with LANs and VPNs for just the sofyware you mentioned with NAT gateways for IPv4 remote services over IPv6. And IPv6 will become ever more important publicly.
Running on a Xeon E5520 here, with a decent nvidia workstation graphics card running Chrome's dev channel, and still doesn't perform particularly well.
I would say, how does that compare with the private sector residents... Having city employees make roughly what the residents do isn't a bad thing. It's good to be able to have your city employees, you know, live in the city they work for. I find it hard to believe people can afford to live in SF on under $100K.
Bring the filing fee up to $5000, if you get the patent, it's less than the cost of the granted patent... that would be a start... then double the fee for each resubmission... Reduce the protection time of "idea" based patents (Software, design, process) to 5 years... that would go a long way towards resolving the issue.
Initial submission $5000, each re-submission double the cost of the previous submission. Cut the protection of Software, Process, and Design patents to 5 years... that would go a long way.
Agreed, I've switched a few people over.. though the clincher is the simple/casual games... Both of my grandmothers play casual games, cards, slots, mahjong etc... And as long as Wine is configured for them, they generally don't have issues with such things... Though currently I've been content with Windows 7, I've dabbled in linux/unix a lot over the years... I've done more and more side work venturing into Linux more on the server.

PUT!
I've felt this... my HTPC running Boxee is always congested, but my LG TV does fine, and usually far better quality...
But tubes can explode if under too much pressure.. omg, my bits could be sprayed all over someone's router somewhere...
probably has something to do with their packaging, and pre-route barcodes on the envelopes...
Chrome s making some progress on the policy side in windows.

Better not give any ideas, the manure industry could have a shakeup if it went to a commodities market.
Umn, well I would suspect than many of these attacks target websites running Linux with PHP and/or mySQL...
Windows is already at a point where it can run on ARM... applications are another issue.
