"I took a class." can be even more easily abused than, "I passed a test." for posing false technical capability. Maybe not though. The market is definitely flooded with people using certifications to mean "ability." I hope this mitigates the problem rather than continuing it.
The end of the dot-com bubble killed linux, stifled production of php sites, and made people stop sending non-commercial email. Those things all went away, right?
Absolutely. This is a retarded question attempting to pigeonhole a huge group of people simply because it's easier than treating people like individuals.
I think you'll get an answer as soon as you define *thinking*. This is the problem artificial intelligence research faces. People demand a quality from machines without giving a definition of it.
You can't just demand that something meet some arbitrary ideal. It's like asking a programmer to develop a beautiful text editor. It's subjective and you're likely to hate it when they think it's great.
Desire to continue to exist is a result of being alive, and evolution, not intelligence. Hamsters don't want to die, but they aren't especially intelligent, and routinely fail self awareness tests.
Human qualities!= intelligence.

C# In-Depth

Your reply indicates you have new clue what C# is. C# is not a direct descendant in design from c++. C# is a child language of Java more than anything. You could probably convert 90% of C# code directly to java with a simple find/replace regex for keywords.
C# is also not non-standard. The C# language has a published standard, which, while not open source, is not the same as non-standard. A number of other implementations exist for both the virtual machine level(e.g. mono, boo) and the compiler/ide level(e.g. sharpdevelop) C# more tolerable than java in terms of ease of design and naturalness of the language, and good for a similar scope of projects.
I like the ability to release windows binaries without having a headache about version compatibility, the irrationality of the underlying windows API, or memory leaks in trivial portions of code.
C# is not the best language for all sorts of problems, but when it comes to banging out a GUI.exe for windows users to use quickly, I don't think there are better choices.
This got labeled funny, but it reminds me of the only open source space sim I know of, which got obsessed with realism. The devs thought it would be a great idea if 90% of your time was spent accelerating and decelerating between planets, and battles would be most interesting if they were spent 99% of time outside weapon range after flying past your target. No offense to those who worked hard on vega-strike, but it is a stunning example of the horrors of realism in a game.
it's not about finding if they've written anything containing those. It's about narrowing the work related to them containing terms that are politically sensitive to read. if something crops up that indicates a liberal or non-neoconservative, and poof, that's the evidence they use, not just whether there are results.
You have it wrong. More of x does not mean people are more interested in it. There are far asteroids than planets in our solar system, but planets receive a lot more interest.
antitrust. Competition made the search market healthy. If they team up and work together we lose that. It'll be just like Microsoft circa 1995 again, with googhoo(yagle?) having their fingers in everything search and ad related. No choices. I don't like this at all.
I've heard this argument before. The idea is that any interruptions that happen are ones that would have taken longer and been less useful to the person on the other end than another kind of interruption, like a phone ringing. As the summary says, an away message when you're busy can remove 90% of distractions.
I don't know what kind of work you do, but many people need small pieces of information quite frequently. Believe it or not, most people can recover from interruptions, and keep their thoughts organized on paper or other medium such that they can return to what they're doing without massive frustration. You might want to try that.
The reason for copyright is the generation of new content to benefit society. We get stories on slashdot quite frequently about copyrights being placed on downright useless things (take down notices). That's an example of copyright being used merely to suppress the exchange of ideas and works against the original goal. We also hear about copyright being used as an excuse to prevent users from modifying their software/data for convenience's sake. That's an example of copyright being used to suppress creativity in order to(questionably) support an outside monopoly.
The idea I'm trying to convey is that Fair Use as a strictly academic tool is behind the times. Copyright should be about granting a monopoly on distribution(real money making) not complete control of any copies/changes made to the original work.
My idea of what could help with protecting this kind of use is some legal definition of a standard single user copyright that someone would have to sign a physical contract to override. Reserve rights for showing the material to small groups of people without charging, being able to modify one's own personal copy to suit one's needs, making personal copies that aren't redistributed, and reselling the original copy with all the standard consumer rights carried with it.
My Technological Catastrophes professor back in college was on the team that searched for the thresher as a nuclear environmental safety expert. He gave a lecture on this subject a year ago. I don't think this is still a secret.

Not only are you demanding that someone click a link to RTFA, but you're expecting them to click once they're there. The audacity.

Trying to establish a name as a place where idiots can blather mindlessly about irrelevant(though perhaps entertaining) subjects on the Internet?
That's not a crowded marketplace at all.

Sources report seeing a high velocity chair strike the mountainside moments before the conference.

nor are planets, nor are regular species. The whole argument that quantity=interest is extraordinarily specious.

Or given the box of horrors that is POP, you could try IMAP, which google now also supports.
Just a quibble here.
A theory is debunked, a hypothesis is disproved.

But who... exactly decides what's criminal?
They can tell from a few pixels and having seen quite a few shops in their time.
Isn't he always complaining that games lack consequences that are meaningful for evil action.
Well... Here you are jack, consequences for your arrogant actions. This is no game though, I'm sorry you don't have a save point to revert to.

I thought all capcom did these days was re-release street fighter II.
I'm more looking forward to the blood bowl video game that's coming out. It has serious potential.
This means Nintendo's next generation of console will be called the sii?
