I spent the past 10 years programming, you can't say you can learn what I've learned by hanging out with your friends and going to college. Most decent universities that I know of have a program called Computer Science, your mileage may vary. (Especially if you ignore lecture to/., as I am now.)
It's called experience. In my experience, going to work in the "real world" the programmer with 15 years of "experience" wrote 100% pure www.thedailywtf.com worthy code, he quit shortly after I started submitting patches. Couldn't stand the egg on his face. Lets not get started with the one with 20 years experience.
I'm not saying that experience is valueless, indeed, the best of the outgoing students are the ones who do their own programming projects, and gain experience that way. However academic study of computer science is very important to be a decent programmer, such academic study can be had from books, but it must be had somewhere.
Middle eastern airlines have had this for a long time, it's not too difficult to think of, unless you're plain stupid.
Planes with NO PASSAGE BETWEEN FLIGHT DECK AND PASSENGERS.
Is that hard? I guess it requires another exterior door, bathroom for pilots, food service for pilots (read "fridge"), etc.
But ultimately, the simplest solution is probably the best.
Why can't people even think of this?
Well, I guess it's an easy retrofit that you couldn't charge an arm and a leg for.
You could additionaly spray them off with air/nitrogen/whatever other gas, that would help scatter those particles that were stuck to the suits, the could even do this before getting back into the landing module.
Much like the hose we used to have at the ranch house, you wash the mud off of your shoes before coming into the house, then left your shoes just inside the door.
When music creation becomes unprofitable, only those who seek to do it out of love will persist.
I really think that we'll see an improvement in the quality of music as a result of this.
Indeed, a very good point I failed to make in my own comment to the same parent.
Further, an intelligent reader will end up reading deep themes into whatever they happen to be reading at the moment, and those manga that are good provide a rich environment for this sort of reading.
Sea of Fertility is great, though I'm only trough 2.3 of the 4 books, Thus far I like Haru no Yuki the best.
In fact, I'm in the middle of the (very slow) process of re-translating the first few chapters in order to create a parallel text study version to be used in my university Japanese language program.
I did meet one international student who was quite different than the rest, claiming Mishima as his favorite author. For the most part, the Japanese ryugakusei seem to prefer second-rate books by hacks.
A large proportion of the ryugakusei are in the US because they thought it was going to be "easier" or failed the entrance exams (the hardest part of the whole degree program) at a Japanese university.
The first thing he needs is a grammar textbook, wherein he must study day and night, and slaughter a bull annualy at the alter of knowledge.
I've had the misfortune of meeting several people who had lived in Japan for years and even tried to learn with all of their might, who would get lost quite quickly when trying to talk with me, despite my learning all of my Japanese in California.
Of course, there is always the IQ difference.

JAPANESE GRAMMAR IS MUCH SIMPLER THAN ENGLISH GRAMMAR! (Not that you've mastered that.)
Our instructor arived nearly 2 hours late to the final, stinking of alcohol, and turned it into a takehome with a week to work on it. Not that it would have been at all difficult to do in two hours in class though. It's now long ago enough that I can't get in trouble, so... though I'm not proud of it, I also wrote entirely seperate answers to the final for my then-girlfriend, something I'd never have been able to do if the instructor had been watching. yeah, she plagerized her way through school. I think now she's an aeronautical engineer... which makes me afraid to fly on new planes.
More recently, and quite embarasingly, I left some big problems on a LISP exam "for later", got really engrosed in the last (and biggest) problem on the exam, and after finishing that, forgot to go back and do the other, I lost 15% or so for that (doh!)
um, I don't pick up chicks at bars... but your point is well talken, one could easily substitute "computer lab" or "math lounge" for bar here.
I would refer you to Dostoyevsky's "Notes from underground" here, at the point were the character refuses to be quantified and for humans to become mearly "Organ Stops" though I am beginging to think that at least most are.
They offered to get the nerd domain owner(s) SOs.
Easily accomplished by skewing results of the other members, who will follow the skewed results,

Programaticaly created/discovered love is meaningless.
We need to dispel the mistique of computers and tech,
or they become a new religion. People seeking a website where they would have previously seen a sothsayer.
I feel it would be dehumanizing for a program to narrow down potential selections, especialy for it to claim
to do so based on a programatic psychological analisys.
Many of my best friends are people who's "chemistry" I'm sure I would never match to.
My car vibrates depending on road conditions and engine RPM, Would this not be "vibration for tactile feadback"? it's 15years old, so I bet it's prior art....
For a GMail account(see parent(please avoid modding me down, it's for a friggin GMail invite!),
Bush would have you believe that he's anti-abortion...
But that is just on the surface, he is also anti-any-program-that-deters-abortion, such as sex education, free birth control, or social programs that give people more options other than abortion.
The supreme court has ruled that abortion in some form must be legal, so Bush can't really push through legislation that would make it illegal, but he'll take away all other options, effectivly pushing women into having abortions.
Anyone else would create, rather than gut, programs that deter abortion, and bring the abortion rate down.

...but at some point it's time to give back to society.
High taxes for the rich basicly give them they choice of how to give back to the comunity, by donation or by hiring more or paying more or whatever, so they still have their own choice as to how to do this.
err..
Two minor points I'd like to make are that...
Taxing the rich can promote thier leaving more money in the company in the form of more jobs, or the company's paying more to it's employees, many tax laws that tax the rich hevily also allow them to avoid being taxed by reinvesting what they don't need to live their rich life-style, tax cuts for the rich actualy do have the effect of their hording of money. Of course people should be able to reap some reward, but at some point it's time to give back to society.
Also, large class divisions tend to create unrest among the peons, this can be devistating to one's being rich when the peons who can't get healthcare (and there are many of them) finaly revolt...
I would have to disagree, I think the child is more likely to understand the concept of IT and programming than an inteligent college educated wife. (not to be offensive)
Really, who here didn't become a geek at 6~8 years old?
And there are somewhere around 0 good programmers who started learning when in college. This is the only time that the original poster's child is likely to understand.

Yes, but our tubes get a warmer, richer internet! :p

No, I do not think they are going to do this.
Because it's a good idea.

It ought to be, if they just took WINE and worked from that codebase, I think windows-on-top-of-BSD would be very feasable.
My car vibrates depending on road conditions and engine RPM,
Would this not be "vibration for tactile feadback"? it's 15years old, so I bet it's prior art....
So what I basicaly got out of the article is that they will re use the old idea of magnetic core memory at a much smaller scale..
right?

just something to keep in mind.
My mac-user friend was using Yellow Dog >4 years ago....
That's not exactly "new".
It doesn't seem to make breakfast...
:(
nor walk the dog, nor feed the cat.
I suppose we'll have to wait for the next version.
