This. Lisp is a beautiful language. The fact that it's not taught and used is a serious problem in the programming profession. Every programmer has the potential to be better, just by learning Lisp (not even using it!)
My mortgage costs more then my disposable income. Disposable income is what's left over after i pay all my bills, right? so comparing my mortgage bill to disposable income is a fallacy at best...i can choose to allocate more funds toward my mortgage or more towards being 'disposable'... It all depends on lifestyle.
Well correct me if I'm wrong but railguns do damage by firing slugs at extremely high speed and using kinetic energy to inflict damage onto the target
You're wrong. A railgun uses a magnetic field as the *source* of the kinetic energy instead of gunpowder. you could, feasably, have a railgun slug that carries an explosive payload. after a railgun projectile leaves the gun, it behaves just like any other projectile. parabolic trajectory, affected by gravity and aerodynamic drag, etc.
I've lived in a suburb of NYC, had friends live in DC, and currently live in Pittsburgh. I have experience with all three. Pittsburgh is the worst place to drive and navigate (geography-wise), with DC as a close second.
That said, NYC has worse traffic than either of the other two contenders.
I think it's incredibly naive to think that this has nothing to do with North Korea. It's extremely likely that this group of attackers is North Korean, and just as likely that they are under the North Korean government's employ. Also, they threatened attacks on movie theaters on american soil. The fact that the movie playing would be (distantly) owned by a Japanese company is irrelevant, the American moviegoers are the ones that would suffer.
That said, I think canceling showings of the film sends a shitty message, and sets a bad precedent.
This depends highly on 1) the reqiurements of the position and 2) your hiring budget.
Do you need someone to run msi installers and register users on a *windows* system? you'll probably save some money hiring an MS cert. do you need database design or some complicated distributed server farm built? and IST degree is probably what you're looking for? Need some application code written? You probably want someone with a CS degree. Need device drivers/firmware/hardware designed? Go for someone with a Computer Engineering or even an Electrical Engineering degree.
All of these degrees/certifications don't fit the same niche...
Right now, you can buy the IOS development kit, which compiles objective-C code to run on the iPad. Objective-C is a Turing-complete language, and can therefore only be implemented in a language that is also Turing complete. the LLVM compiler that ships with the IOS developement kit compiles Objective-c to the instruction set on the iPad. Therefore, the instruction set of the iPad is Turing complete.
I mean that the instruction set implemented on the iPad is Turing complete, which is true. i did not mean that the iPad is a Turing machine, which is not true.

C is older then many other languages.
Ugly and Complex is better than Ugly and Complex and Inconsistent.

Sometimes wounds itch. When you scratch them, they break open and fester. C++ scratches exactly these itches.
To be fair, she shouldn't have gone to Saudi Arabia in the first place. no one should.
Don't business's hire competent IT guys?
In my experience? Yes they do. they also hire a bunch of incompetent ones. its a crap shoot.
This is so very true. Learned this the hard way a few years back... It's very rare that stock options are worth anything.
Why should programmers be any different?
because computers.
Eh, a little bikeshedding makes everyone feel included. I'm all for it.
Correction noted. Thanks!

"run assays on disposable plastic cassettes with pre-loaded reagents"
There is some material cost to actually *using* the thing. It's unclear what that cost is, but there are disposable materials involved.

I'm just curious here, what damage have these companies done to the internet?
The non-google, non-facebook, non-twitter internet is still there, and it's bigger then it's ever been! we're having a discussion on it right now!

Or render at that resolution, the input doesn't have to be video :)
Yea, Mine still works, got it at launch.
Is there a *successful* handheld gaming platform that isn't proprietary and closed source? Do we have an option?

I absolutely can prove it.

QED.
I mean that the instruction set implemented on the iPad is Turing complete, which is true. i did not mean that the iPad is a Turing machine, which is not true.
sorry for the ambiguity.
technically, the iPad can run arbitrary code. they are both computers, and Turing complete even!
I wish Tim Cook would just stop by and tell us what to run! that would make this whole mess so much better.
