In all reality, it matters not what language you choose. Your goal should be to understand the concepts of programming and to think like a programmer. The languages in use today are just tools to let you manipulate 1s and 0s. Better to understand the algorithms than syntax. Syntax changes and there are a million references for each language. ALogorithms generally don't change. Employers like thinkers... not "Java guys" or "C# guys." Start thinking on a broader scale and don't be tied into specific languages 'cause, truth be told, the language something is implemented in rarely truly matters.
Is it commercially viable to go to Mars? How about smash a big block of steel and copper into a comet? What about sending probes to the furthest reaches of space? You think a small private company such as SpaceX is going to get men on Mars just for the science of it? Doubtful. Thus, we need NASA to perform the large and risky missions. So, IMO, NASA isn't going anywhere. Just outsourcing the simple stuff... much like private corporations do now.
Wah wah wah. "I can't figure out how to get around tables. Tables are so nice and simple. Can't we all just use tables? CSS is hard!"
Ugh... It took me about a month to get over using tables. Now that I don't use them, my code is cleaner, smaller and ten times more elegant. Get over it, man. The W3C is composed of people who live and breathe this stuff. You're just a hack tasked with building some corporate intranet crap (probably a bit simplified, but you get my jist). Leave the thinking to the experts. They tend to know what they're doing.
Often times classified emails go out on the unclassified network. We follow those up with emails instructing those who may have received it not to open it as that could result in the confiscation of any and all computers that read it. The system has to be cleaned. I promise you, we're not all hacks here at the comm squadron.
The Department of Defense realizes that information warfare is a serious business. During Gulf War II we had computers constantly dialing damn near every phone number in Baghdad which overloaded their phone system and forced them to constantly bring it down and back up. The system was practically unusable. The internet has become the communications medium of choice for most everything these days and the Air Force knows this. Thus they realize that they're gonna need a strong ability to conduct warfare in cyberspace if they wish to have every possible advantage when the bullets and bombs start flying. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't understand why someone would have a problem with that. What? You're not patriotic?
Funny thing, actually.. When I was 10 years old I blew my dad's mind when I asked why we couldn't just match the polarity of Earth's magnetic field and launch stuff into space without any fuel at all.Like charges repel, ya' know! I've since learned my lesson a bit, but this kid's dad claims his son is trying to do the same sort of thing to get things to levitate. I was pissed when I read that. I thought of it first, ya' little shit! Granted, mine involved the magnetic field and not gravity, but the idea is basically the same. I should sue him.
I remember thinking about this many years ago. Office technology is bullshit. We do the same damn things we used to only now it is actually more stressful as we have to do everything at a much faster pace. What happened to the promise that we would have more free time, more time to spend exploring other interests and spending time with family? The all mighty dollar, that's what happened.
Everyone wants to maximize profits and nothing else. Oh, how foolish and optimistic we were in the 50s. It's almost comical and yet not.
I hear ya'. The public in this country has taken a rash beating in the passed (past? Could a Slashdot grammar Nazi clarify?) years that we get all excited when things are decided in favor of the law. How ridiculous things have become. But never fear... Little things like this mean democracy and freedom still breathe!
It pleases me to know that there are judges out there in tune with the Internet, who know what it is, what it represents, and recognize it for the "unique democratizing medium" that it is. These days seem rampant with politicians, judges, and CEOs all interpreting in favor of the bigger guys. The recent rulings against the RIAA and cases such as this one begin to restore my faith in the American judicial system. We've still got a way to go and the system will never be perfect, but at least there is a glimmer.
Personally, I'm getting tired of homos building PCs and feeling they need to document the hell out of it and post it online for all to see. Seriously, there's a reason these parts all come with instructions of some sort. It's the same shit all over again. "Look, I built a PC. Everyone loves the pictures of the motherboard. Look how it has 1 slot for RAM and not 2. That's because this is a Mini-ITX board." Do they think the whole of the Internet is going to read his article and say "Oooooohhh..."? Arg.. The Internet gets more and more boring every single day.
It's not a built-in calendar. It is merely a graphical device to let you change the current system date. A lot of administrators don't want their users changing the system date willy nilly. Thus it is locked down for standard users.

Man, every freakin' road, building, semi-circular lake and all sorts of other nonsense would be found. So I say that idea, though interesting, would be very, VERY difficult to implement in software.
It only took us 9 damn years to get there in the first place! Now that we already have the technology to make it there, they want 13 years?! Fuck that shit. Thye should be able to get there in at most 5 years. I'll bet $100 NASA's beaten by the Chinese or Burt Rutan. Any takers?

Calcutta, douche.
I cleaned mine off a little bit ago after a couple years of use. Check it out: www.dbarbour.com/photos/?page=7. Tell me that's not disgusting.

Gordon Cooper: You know what makes this bird go up? FUNDING makes this bird go up. Gus Grissom: He's right. No bucks, no Buck Rogers.
Don't be such a lunatic. I get that when I try to post anonymously, too. Just log in, stand by your comments and you'll be able to post all day.
Hey.. You stole my subject line! Linkage.

Life is indigenous to Earth. Life can be indigenous to many places all at once. Perhaps you were looking for "isolated?"
Didn't you already say "already" already?
Oh, my kingdom for some mod points.

Woah.. CSS. Nice. I like it, but it's still ugly. /. needs a new fuckin' layout. I like the layout at www.digg.com
Factual facts? As opposed to the not so factual facts?
And just how often do you use a sniper rifle? In waiting for your response, I will be tucked away nicely out of sight.
