That's the sad part about colleges these days -- they don't seem to teach critical thinking any more, where most students get by on regurgitation. And, Obama definitely is a byproduct of this.
Yes, our next president must have Mountain Dew in his name.

JavaScript "programmers" are the worst. Their language is so fucked up, but most of them are so ignorant that they can't see this for themselves.
True, which is why John Resig has the Khan Academy teaching JS in their intro to programming course, since a developer without an OOP background looks at it and doesn't scream, "WTF!." while looking at things like closures and JS scope issues (I'm looking at you, event callback!).
Hey, AC, would you agree that my sig is apropos for the topic at hand?

The issue with the silent upgrades isn't completely ensconced with memory usage. Try this one on for size: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40787. For those that don't want to RTFA, Google decided, in the middle of the night, to make local-file-AJAX a part of XSS restrictions even if the origin is local-file -- which hurts web developers and mobile Webview/UIWebview-wrapped apps (e.g. PhoneGap). Granted, there's a flag for Chrome to launch it so that you can bypass the local file restriction, but that's not as easy to do on a Mac. And, even if doing this on a Mac was trivial, the problem a number of developers ran into was that Google changed the development environment without warning, forcing a number of developers to write in Safari for a time.
If B2G is as slow and has the memory leaks of Firefox, I don't think I'd want to develop for it. Right now, it often requires 1GB of RAM dedicated to Firefox with Firebug running -- and that with only one page open! Imagine what will happen when you have your app running for a significant period what that would do to the device along with other programs running in the background.
Why not Northern Canada while you're at it? Actually, even the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, Chicago, or any town in the northern Midwest would suffice. Better yet, San Francisco rarely gets above 70.
True, but I don't think that Brahms' contemporaries would advocate for what passes for copyright law today where some multinational corporation can hold rights to an author's work ad infinitum.
So, yeah, thinking of them as a long-term investment was kinda silly to begin with. And as the ACs pointed out, this has nothing to do with "artistic integrity" (it's about their money-grubbing vs yours), and is in fact better for the community at large because they get to enjoy the thing that before only a few did.
Maybe they should have called it Occupy Magic the Gathering.
When you factor in all the tax breaks, promotional deals, and what other money they earn on a film before it goes into production, the studio loses very little, breaks even, or even makes a profit before it even gets to theaters. They're set up to not lose money on anything.
The one thing I miss about Texas -- Alamo. I keep telling my friends and co-workers that we need an Alamo Drafthouse in L.A., but they keep saying it's a bad idea. Seriously, alot of the movies out there, I would need lots of alcohol to enjoy.
Paul didn't support AIG's bailout, or debt forgiveness, either. But, of course, you didn't hear much about it since the news media in the US was too busy fellating Obama, who -- might I add -- coined the term "Too big to fail."
I think the reason people are upset that Google isn't living up to their own mantra of "Don't be evil" is the fact that they fail to meet the standard they set for themselves. On the other hand, if Google had the phrase, "Let's make lots of money off of others' content and technology," then no one would be upset with some of Google's questionable tactics. It goes back to basic symbolic logic p=>q. If p is false, no matter what q is, the statement is true; however, if p is true and q is false, the whole statement is false. In other words, if Google never implied that they were never gonna be evil, they would be logically consistent, but since they tried to make that implication and failed, people that care about such things are thusly upset.
No innovation there (except for the Kinect recently). That was just a cheap copy of the Playstation series. Like lots of their other ventures, they saw some market they wanted to dominate, so they made a cheap copy of the top player in that market, put it out there, and then kept refining it and pouring more money into it until the competitors ran out of steam and they could become dominant themselves.
Actually, it wasn't considering that the XBox was the first console to introduce the progammable shader pipeline -- which was a huge game-changer for consoles when it came out. Before that, any changes to the way your 3D scene was rendered required involvement of the CPU, which is relatively expensive compared to having the video card handle those calculations. But, I have to hand it to Microsoft in how they have handled DX up to this point since most of the additions to the D3D feature set tend to be a year before OpenGL has them (at least the big ones like geometry shaders). MS doesn't do much right, but they do handle that well.

I take it you're not a fan of Python, then...
That's like saying PHP4 isn't obsolete.

That's because God loves kittens and all the emo kids decided they wanted to be ironic and turned hipster.
I'm guessing that their site is so old, they had to resort to tables?

It's on the low-end in southern California. That's around what most grocery store clerks make out here.

Nah, that all changed when they hired Bob Rock as their producer.
Apple is a liberal company? You better tell Rush Limbaugh.
They probably used to be Blockbusters.
