What is the percentage of spouses who cheat? Getting married can also aid you in your quest for STDs. There is no such thing as safe sex, live with reality.
The only people who will complain about this are Euro-American CEOs. If you are a worker, Chinese businesses that expand to the USA create just as many jobs are American businesses that expand to China.
Coding is a talent, designing is a skill. You cannot teach the talent but you can teach people to properly design programs.
What we need to do is simplify the designing of programs. Visual basic attempted to do this but we can take it further. This does not mean just because you can design a program in english that it will be a better program than a well designed and well coded program.
Since when did every artist have to draw realistic artwork? Some artists draw anime, some artists draw comics, and some artists do draw stick figures and it is art to a lot of people.
Unless you are going to program the space shuttle or the new unmanned probe, you don't need calculus. I've never used calculus in any of my code, not even once. Sure if you need to do realistic modeling of physics for your rocket, you'll need calculus, but unless you are going to be a rocket scientist why should we require all programmers get the training and education of a rocket scientist and then expect to be able to say "Well we need millions of programmers!".
You cannot have millions of rocket scientists, you can have millions of good programmers. Do we really need a new game engine for every game? Can we reuse one good engine made by one rocket scientist over and over again? In art you'd reuse, in science you'd keep reinventing the wheel over and over again. Which is more efficient?
Open source is art, and in art you don't need to re-invent the wheel, its all about the expression of the code not the calculus, not the science, the expression. If you are working for the government on some top secret mission critical project or if you are working for NASA then I can understand why you'd need calculus and math. If you are going to get a degree in calculus and math just so you can sit in a cube and write simple C programs all day, you wasted your time learning bullshit you'll never use, and the school has filtered out millions of coders who may be able to write great code for portable mp3 players or great applications for windows but who may not have the skill level to write the code for the new smart bomb or unmanned drone technology.
Just because I cannot write code for advanced robotics or aerospace does not mean I cannot write basic applications, and thats what most people need. Most of us are using basic applications and most applications which are profitable don't require any calculus or math at all to write. Look at the code to Enlightenment, theres no calculus in it. Look at the code to Gnutella, no calculus, so tell me how a calculus programmer is more valueable to the economy than an artist programmer when most of the good programmers arent made by the calculus programmers?
Napster was designed by an artist, not a NASA scientist. When was the last time a NASA scientist designed anything for the masses?
if your goal is to work for NASA then you need calculus, but 99% of programmers arent working for NASA just like 99% of nurses arent doing brain surgery. Unless you are going to be a rocket scientist why do you need training in rocket science?
What they should also do is allow me click a picture and have it translate into code, or let me click an animated picture and have that translate into code.
Say I want to create a backround for a video game, if I could just point and click my way through the interface creation then even I could be a game designer. So why not start with open source game design and develop tools to allow hobby programmers like me to make games for the masses, as a result you'd gain games for linux and finally Linux will be able to dominate.
Or we can keep re-inventing the wheel and treating programming like a science when its really just an art. The fact that a computer science major has to learn calculus and all this math is the main reason I didnt major in computer science. When you treat something like a science instead of an art, you make it less attractive. In the end this is why we have a shortage of good programmers. The next group of programming geniuses might never become programmers because they can't handle the calculus, and guess what? 99% of programmers never use any of that useless math.
If America really is fascist, it's going to collapse. The entire new world order along with it. While I'd hate to see America collapse, at the same time the collapse of America will be the defining moment in human history. It will show the world that the path we are on only leads to collapse, it might turn the world socialist as a result. If fascism cannot work, then socialism and communism are the only options left. These two options in the long term will be better anyway, and while I'd hate to see society forced into these two styles, if the current "Free" market does not work, and people refuse to have a "Fair" market, then the market itself cannot govern.
Computers help kids who cannot afford books. If you are going to a private or elite school then you may not need a computer, but at the urban schools in the inner city having a computer is the only way to learn because theres no books and classes are too big. A kid that is taught to educate themselves using the computer will learn, also it enhances reading and writing skills if they read websites and write enough emails.
There are fans of the third party developers who work for Sony, but Sony is not a gaming company and has no fans.
In the end, Nintendo makes better games and if PSP has no games no one will ever buy it. I don't think a bunch of third party games will help it, NGage, remember that? Remember Gamegear? Nintendo beat both of them easily, I don't see how Sony can sell in Japan at all and in the USA Gameboy has so much marketshare that Nintendo could just release another Gameboy with backward compatibility and it would kill Sony in the same way Sony is killing everyone because they released PS2 with backward compatibility.
How about instead of just being able to store windows as bars, let us morph our windows into a sphere which rotates? or a cube? This would allow us to store more windows in less space, it would allow us to have more screen space. No one needs a big bar taking up the bottom of their screen, but spheres floating around looks better and its better for productivity. Think of terminator 2's morphing scene, that could be done to the windows.
I think someone needs to create better themes. Coders suck as artists and as theme designers. Coders also suck at designing interfaces.
We need an interface design contest now, complete with bounties. All artists should be welcomed and no programming experience should be required to contribute. I suggest we make a glass like interface, or an interface such as the interface in the Lain anime series. Lets make something impressive, also lets make it functional. How can we use the extra dimensions and power to make things work better?

Are you out of your mind? Who would vote for Clinton?
Gore on the other hand could win.

Bernie Worrell, a modern day music genius could do the same kinds of things.
