Good code is not hard to read
That's very subjective and not realy the point, the article is about comparing reading to writing.
When writing code you have the big picture in mind and then decompose it in smaller parts (statements); when reading code you only see a bunch of statements and have to reassemble the big picture again. This makes it SEEM easier to write than to read.
However, good code is IMO indeed faster to read than to write. If a programmer thinks it's faster to write new code it's because he/she forgets about the fixes added later on. Good code also has comments/documentation, clear variable/class names and is broken up in smaller parts which makes it easier to understand and harder to write.
Now what if the code is a mess? Messy code completly reverses the situation: hard to read, easy to write.
No one owns the moon, a flag doesn't mean anything. You can go there and proclaim it's yours but you have to be able to defend it by some means or someone else kicks you of the moon. If you have enough weapon power you can ignore the law and do whatever you want.
A spacewar surely sounds interesting but since there's enough H3 for everyone it is wiser to cooperate with the 2 or 3 nations that might give problems.
i also don't like formatting but i am in a good mood today:
skins... 1. Spend hours searching for a few likable skins (99% is shit) 2. Spend a hour to decide which one to use 3. Spend more time on switching between skins 4. Become frustated of the obscure interface (what's that? *click* Oh, that's the close button) 5. Upgrade memory
I am running zero skinable applications, they suck.

Gasoline engines also have electric starters, so it should not be more problematic to start an electric engine.
You're right that batteries perform worse when cold but this only gives problems when the battery is almost empty. Also you might drive less miles on a charge.
Personally, I never realised how much we get bombarded with until...
same thing here. In the past I hardly noticed the banners on webpages until they started popping up and even refusing to close. Suddenly it bugged the hell out of me. I close popups without even looking at the content, sometimes after visiting a site a few times it becomes apparent the popup isn't an ad at all:(
yeah a lot of ppl are against moon bases because they're not cost effective, that's true but not relevant: If you want space travel then you shouldn't be afraid of putting a base on the moon.
Moving along: Q: Might you add anti-virus/spyware protection in Windows? Gates: It's not a thing you build in. You have to offer a service...... Why is that Mr. Gates? I would have thought that you would offer a secure environment as part of your product out of the box? What does that tell us about the quality of your products? After all, does not my automobile come with airbags and antilock brakes and skid control and all wheel drive? Under your logic, those features would only work if I paid a monthly premium
i think MS is right about this. Anti-virus is a service, continously creating and updating virus-signatures. Or did your automobile come with a dwarf under the hood, checking your tires every morning? (If your tires are checked somehow electronic automatically, then it's not a service).
Anti-virus in windows would be nice but I can't blame MS for it's exclusion.
(If there weren't so many holes in windows, anti-virus wouldn't even be necessary.)
IMO Pair programming is just training each other. For example when putting modules together - say module A has calls to module B - then it could be helpfull when the programmers of A and B get together and while A is typing his code programmer B instructs how to use module B.
In any case, pair programming should not be done full time, some things need to be thought out without distraction. If you can't get any work done on your own then you're a lazy ass or just incompetent.
It's very nice that you have a lot of money but that's not really the point here.
What the OP was trying to say is, that it's just overpriced. Surely I bet Oakleys look/fit better, are stronger and whatever but if the the research and manufacturing is really $400 a piece then I think it's overdesigned, I am not going to put a hubble scope behind those shades.
But on the other hand... the $100 shades might sell as well as the $400 since most of us will pick something from the $[3,30] range, so why not set the price at $400. Yeah I can see that.
That's what pirating is all about.. making it easier for the users.
I think lot's of people outside the US are willing to pay for shareware apps that they use a lot but don't have a creditcard and going to the bank to transfer something like $25 is way too much effort.
There are formats on different levels. Physical - size/length of the pits, track spacing... Logical/Disk Block Format - stuff like Blocksize and data spreading+redundancy for error correction... File system - ISO / jolliet / rock ridget extension...
And lots of other stuff i can't think of.
It would be nice if error correction was handled by the filesystem, that way the only difference between an old fashioned audio CD and a data CD would be the filesystem. Same block format for everything.

So what you're saying is, assembler is not code? Weird. I guess these old skool coderz weren't coders after all.

Well, 98SE doesn't have that problem either
BIOS or hardware does not display blue screens

With firefox i have a normal life again.
for something like that, asm is the right tool
That other 68000-based home computer had way too nifty hardware to not be "a toy". I guess insufficient development added the word "just".
The resolution of the device is independend of the resolution of the eye.

But i'am not a pro, so what do i know.
I choose.. B It's an interesting double experiment: B1 nuke a distant object in space B2 observe how the atmosphere absorbs the energy

If the travel time isn't cut down to 2 days max, it will be just a place for rock collectors, miners and maybe a place where we send old people.

don't forget to install some holes with wind turbines
