However, the article trashed the climate (rather inaccurately at that) before mentioning the job market (or absence thereof). And for that I would like to disembowel their editors.
We Buffalonians would like to applaud the editor rectifying the unjust, decades-long misconception that we have the worst snow in the NY State.
I think it would be really interesting for you to learn development for the iPhone using Apple's SDK and compare and contrast the experiences you had doing development for the BlackBerry.
I'd suspect that the conclusion you'd reach would be that the iPhone SDK is the most pain-free (relatively speaking) mobile development experience you've ever had and you'll start to understand why Apple is getting so much developer mindshare despite their draconian stances on the App store and background apps.
Equivalent to 2000 pounds of TNT. That's less than a bunker buster bomb carried by an F15. The moons been hit by stuff a lot more powerful, like the enormous asteroids that made the 1000-mile craters you can see without a telescope.
Actually, any seasoned DBA or database application developer will tell you that any numeric designator/ID number issued by someone other than yourself should always be represented and handled as a string value to deal with the situation of a numeric designator suddenly going alphanumeric.
If Twitter switched to alphanumeric designators for records, all the existing apps would not only not handle the tweets, some less well written apps would probably crash altogether.
An ajax web app that tries to ape a simple desktop app is built with:
HTTP HTML CSS XML SQL JavaScript PHP/Python/Ruby/other scripting language
That's 7 different text-based (aka "simple") languages/syntaxes a developer has to learn just to be able just to get the same basic functionality as a simple desktop application. The current system as it is isn't simple.
A drizzle is a display of rain that is rather unimpressive. Also, it's a prelude to heavy rain and getting soaked and miserable. On the Drizzle website is a picture of a rainy cloud, which at least in western cultures is an image associated with things that are unhappy.
At this point in their project I think that some smart marketing is more important than nitpicking over code.
I'd guess that the cost in social services to help blind people probably exceeds $1000/yr per person (i.e. well over $50,000,000). Therefore it would make economic sense to cure blindness.
We could also consider the possibility that a twice-as-fast computer on a twice-as-fast network pipe produces twice-as-much data which, in order to keep the same perceived speed, must be processed twice-as-quickly by another computer.
I don't know what I've been told But Army server's are quickly pwned You don't need some high-tech decryption machine Just a string with a semi-colon in between I don't know what I will find When good Army hacker's have resigned We'll have a good laugh when some bored kid in China Posts photos of Gen.

Spreading "FUD" would imply an attempt to use fear, uncertainty, and doubt to thwart a plan or a movement. If there is no grand Linux plan or movement, as you have stated in your original post, then technically there's nothing for me to thwart and therefore you can't logically consider me to be spreading FUD.
- When Linux does something well, FOSS advocates declare Linux a master plan to take over the world.
- When Linux does something badly, the same FOSS advocates declare Linux to be "just a kernel" that "doesn't want to be anything" and therefore is beyond criticism.
The receiver could have a website with empty pages pages titled 0.html and 1.html. To send the ascii character 'a', the sender accesses 0.html, 1.html, 0.html five more times, and then 1.html one last time. The receiver would then look in their web server log and see that the letter 'a' was transmitted.
And so continues the cycle of Slashdot stories of "$ARMED_FORCE is starting a new elite CyberSecurityDefenderProtectUsFromBadGuysSuperForce" and:
1. Former IT folks in the $ARMED_FORCE ranting on Slashdot about how $ARMED_FORCE did nearly everything in their power to make competent IT people leave. 2. $ARMED_FORCE continuing to disqualify those who are over 30 or who have a pasty-faced a complexion unbecoming to G.I. Joe. 3. $ARMED_FORCE not wanting to stop using Windows for anything secure. 4. More Chinese hackers putting stupid stuff on $ARMED_FORCE's IIS servers.

If humans were disease-free, War Of The Worlds would have ended in a very uncool way.

Why can't they come up with a plausible theory of apocalypse by snu-snu?
Or even worse, the Earth will continue to exist and be entirely populated by mimes.

But wouldn't a roving black hole produce a tell-tale roving gravitational lensing?

Be master of your domain.
That you program it using the Waterfall Model.
And the "completely ban the Internet for anything" demographic was horribly underrepresented, too.
Supposedly there are 50,000 blind people in Australia.
http://www.bca.org.au/natpol/statistics/2005_Blind_Stats_num_and_perc_by_State_Territory_CERA.htm
$50,000,000 breaks down to $1000/blind person.
