Actually, it's more like misrepresentation of credentials, to which free speech doesn't apply. There are countries where calling yourself a engineer has legal consequences.
Next, I'll start calling myself a doctor (as in "code doctor") or surgeon ("code surgeon").;)
Stop whining and take some accountability. Go to a cheaper school. If you're 12 years old surely you can understand that.
Really?!!? Because when I was 12 years old every teacher I had told me that university was magical faerie dust that sprinkled on your education guaranteed middle-class jobs and income (no mention of which discipline you study mattering). The same people we were always supposed to listen to and obey. The same ones that taught us to read and do math. So is it our fault really if after over a decade in their system listening to that mantra we fell for it? Frankly, I think society has to own up to its part in the brainwashing and hype that went on there and the resulting debt and useless degrees.
PS- does not apply to me, I got a STEM degree paid for by my parents and now have a soulless cubicle job making mad bank and a boring joyless life.
... and is not the type of system our founding fathers intended, here in the US anyway.
So what? Neither is a system where blacks and women can vote. In fact, the founding father tacitly agreed to continue slavery in the south. So why should we care what they wanted? They gave us the means to change laws so we can.
You might want to consider HeroScape. It is similar in nature and available from WalMart, Toys'R'Us, and Amazon. I've been looking into using it for our D&D campaign.
In today's society nothing draws crowds like glamour. So, get some researchers rediculously overpaid, have them hit the clubs in Bentleys sippin' Cristal. What is popular is what will lead people to live the way they want to live. Currently, that is through finance and investment banking. But, if you could make being a researcher more glamourous and fun (in terms of the lifestyle it would afford) then people would flock to it. After all, how do you make something popular when it leads to a decade of post-secondary and then publish-or-perish with a possibility of stability with tenure AFTER moving around englessly from post-doc to post-doc.
Except that you are wrong. If either party breaks a bone or needs stitches or any kind of substantial treatment it becomes aggravated assault. You can consent to something that would otherwise be assault, but not to aggravated assault. You can't have a dual and not be charged as a murderer. If you could then the reasoning would be that assisted suicide is legal. I'm not saying its right, just that is how it is.
Try Galactic Civilzations 2. The whole pack is available as a DRM-free download (paid of course). Minus the turn-based combat, it's completely faithful.. but with more story!
Having read the whole article, it seems to me that their are really two selling points
collaborations tools
user friendly design
#2 is usually a big plus but never a deal maker, we are developers and can handle sophisticated tools, so commercially banking on that doesn't make much sense.
#1 well that could be done as part of a commercial plug-in into an existing IDE. Both NetBeans and Eclipse have existing communities of commercial plug-ins while the IDEs provide support for many things that the text editor doesn't . After all I've only needed to collaborate with other... never need anyone else to edit text though.
#3 I believe that #1 already exists for NetBeans.
No I haven't and I said as much in my post. But I see French bashing everywhere and it was a general comment, and not a direct response to yours. That said I've never worked with anything but shit north american code... and I live there. So the question comes up as to whether you have a wide enough sample to make such a claim. And the point is if you had worked for 10 years with african-american code and it was all shit would you make such a comment? Unlikely.
12. Anything that looks like it was written by drunk lemurs or the French, to be deleted on principle and replaced by something sane.
I'm sorry but I find all this French bashing racist. Unless, of course, you have some information on the coding tendencies of the French that I do not. But having worked with a handful French people and I can say nothing bad about them. I know French "jokes" may be acceptable in the U.S. but this is the Internet and try to behave yourselves. As a rule of thumb: replace the word 'French' with 'Blacks' or 'Jews', if you wouldn't get away with saying the resulting expression at work, the don't say the original.
Disclaimer: Not French, no French heritage, no French family, don't speak French (though I plan to learn one day), have no French friends, never dated anyone French, and don't live in France.
I am sincerely hoping that you are missing a "not" somewhere in there. Over throwing a foreign government over the nationalisation of natural resources THAT ARE IN THAT COUNTRY is about as wrong as it gets. Really, the only thing I can think of that would be worse is invading another country to commit genocide. So I guess that means that would make the overthrow the penultimately evil motivation for a war of aggression.

They don't. They read through their spec carefully and presumably do it by hand. I believe with the first ACID test their was a bug with the reference image that was reported by someone implementing a browser.
If the NPD Group really wants to shake things up they ought to offer free HD-DVD licenses.
Sorry, but the only reason a consortium would want to win the format war is to make money off of licenses. They don't give a shit about the technology itself. IP is the best way to make money since you can't be out-priced once you have it. Perpetual patent licensing is the name of the game. If they won the war by giving away free licenses then it'd truly be a Phyrric victory. It'd be like if K-mart on all of Walmart's costumers by giving away it's merchandise for free!*
* The usual caveat applies when using analogies about tangible objects to apply to IP: no analogy is perfect. I guess a better analogy would be if they were selling it at exactly cost.
Sorry, but universities are meant for education not job training. The fact that jobs are the reason main people go is sadly just another sign of the times. If you look at the long history of universities you'd realise that they have focused on research and the arts. Even the sciences were so abstract that they've didn't have a use for it at the time and for many years to come. Please, lets stop perverting universities for the industry. If universities don't produce well-rounded educated people where will they come frmo?
Have you looked at the Hero System? It is basically what you want. The main rule book contains a list of abilities and their associated costs. From these ingredients you create your own recipes whose costs you can calculate to keep things balanced. The genre books then offer a series of templates.
While there are some things about the system that bother me, and which I prefer in the d20 system, its a really interesting system none-the-less. In fact, it is probably the best system that no one has played a game in, which is a shame

Isn't the first $2 the easiest and the last $2 the hardest? Won't that just lead to lots of tech demos and no products?
Fuck em. Free speech.

The question becomes how long will it take for the culture to shift when it has long become accustomed to underbidding.

Vanity is not the same thing as stupidity. Thing about how much has been acomplished by arrogant people just trying to prove themselves

This is just another thanks for sharing, it was very eye-opening, and good luck comment.

Only if by "our" you mean specifically on /. and additional pop-sci places and not in general (such as for between scientists and such).
Whoa... since when did we (i.e. /.) get real editors? Did I miss the memo?
No... but I am going to tell you that youa re wrong when[/if] you say 'colour' is misspelt.

Basically it comes from a live voice recognition demo from Microsoft for their feature in Vista. Yes, I had to look this up myself.
