I've three friends from high school (graduated early 80s) that I've been friends with my whole life, zero people from college (never been to college reunion, I was there working very hard for degree, period. no close friends there)
half the class was at 5 year reunion in late 80s, a few for ten year, and at 15 years in late 90s (the last one) three people went to restaurant and bar. this year was 25 years, I could imagine what would be said were it held and most people were to go, "I went to my high school reunion, but instead of my classmates a bunch of old farts showed up"
Three words, well know to vietnamese, some other asians, and also some soul food connoisseurs: "picked pigs ear". The body may go one way, and the tagged ears another.
who said c/c++ had to be used? a nice library to a fun language could instead be employed. as to attention span and hobbies prevalent today, the issue is proper mentoring and teaching, to create and nature interest. I am very thankful my parents and a couple very influential teachers provided that for me. I was indeed making electronic devices at age 10 and writing software at age 11 (programming was thanks to teachers). I'm 48 years old), my hobbies have become my income source over the years, and that story started at age 10 thanks to adults with proper mindset.
windows does not have usability, I have to spend hours every week showing windows lusers where desired features are buried. This especially since Microsoft introduced that ribbon, which is the result of the same fundamental stupidity of mindset the GNOME and UNITY developers are aping.
one little problem with that, smarty pants, you can't configure GNOME 3 in many cases with or without config file editing. instead, you have to write a fucking app or hire a developer to do simple things that used to be GNOME user configuration actions
Any 10 year old of average intelligence can be taught to do simple programming. Ten year olds can be taught to make electronic devices too. A fourteen year old who actually is interested enough can earn an amateur radio licence and build a ham radio. Please don't contribute to the growing pandemic of treating our children like morons.
actually, I'm just hobbyist photographer, and I sometimes use the 35mm lens on 35mm camera that approximates human perspective and field of view.
sometimes I compare the picture with the reality for different lighting...amazing what our brain and memory accept as nearly identical
might be a trend there, three out of the other six IT techs in my employer's company have asian wives as I do. there is a traditional cultural thing where asian women are not treated well by the men. in the USA they see that things can be different, other men have proper respect for women. if you are kind, dependable, genuinely interested in them, have a job you can be their Mr. Right.
americans and their children need more exercise and to be outdoors more and to have more time together with families. lawn games beat typical evening of everyone sitting on one's ass in front of the idiot box with glazed over eyes stuffing oneself with junk food, the benefits are immense
only a fool trusted anything about certificates and the companies that issued them. for that matter, it's irritating as hell that firefox and other ware vendors make it such a hassle for me to use self-signed certificate. ssl certs should not cost money and have no corporations in control of it. instead, a free decentralized system of authenticating a domain should be employed. trivial as we already do similar things with signed encrypted files.
that's not true, a photo does NOT show what the human eye would see. The lens' altering of perspective and depth of field are different, even the size of the picture is different. The film or array's response to brightness and color are different. All photographs are thus a distortion of what would be seen, so there is really no valid complaint to make other than that of degree.
I get the same feeling when I'm swimming in Lake Michigan, the amoeba I see are nothing like the dyed prepped slide photographs seen in textbooks. And don't even get me started on those ghastly black and white electron microscopic photos of insect faces, the real ones are cutely colored with much less harsh contrast.
is a bonner someone who makes bonnets? I myself saw a giant boner under that mighty cosmic nut sack, but I won't admit to it lest someone think I'm gay.
All that and you leave out a innocent civilian body count at least three times the number slaughtered by Sadam?
Hey, let me go all Godwin and ask how big does a massacre have to be to qualify as a Nazi-esque Order of Magnitude Genocide (NOMG)? 500,000? a million?
I agree with your view of botchedness of invasion, but only some parts of Iraq would ever be on board with being Iranian suburb. It'll be a much finer mess (in the sense Laurel and Hardy would use it) than that.
lucky you, at least your sums don't change. I've done payroll software, varying amounts such as average workdays per month in a leap year and non-leap years, working hours per year (leap and non) are funny numbers most don't recognize. A year doesn't have exactly 52 weeks, either.
and they ban the things? what a bunch of psychological marshmallows we've become. The body count for hot dog chokings goes into the thousands, bicycle made corpses would stack to the stratosphere....
Slashdot Mirror
both wrong, this has all the tell-tails of the machinations of KAOS. We'd better shoe-phone 86 and 99 to get on it.
sure you can, with a telescope.
and we can always count on the slashdot idiots who like to gloss over atrocities aided and abetted by mega-corporations

During the holocaust, IBM delivered personally tailored unsolicited data, tattooed onto the arm of jews, slavs, homosexuals, etc

gets old, people like you yawning at our outrage over IBM's automation of genocide. How about this, we'll stop when IBM is dead.

That's good news for the queer-bashers, they can just claim "but I thought he was a Jedi gay!"
