Having taken a class from him, I cannot honestly respect any feelings he has about education. The man is hands down the worst professors I have ever had, He has no concept of teaching, he rather just rambles in class and expects the students to know everything. In a intro level CS class, he expected every student to be proficient in C++, event though in Texas, the high school CS curriculum is entirely JAVA (which isnt a good thing, but it is the way it is). While I agree with what he says, I do not support him even talking about education. If he were not the creator of C++ he would not have a job in Acedamia.
This is literally the pot calling the kettle black. Stroustrup is absolutely horrible at teaching C++ to beginners. So much so, that at Texas A&M, where he is a professor, he is not allowed to teach lower level classes on his own, because all of his students leave unprepared for the next courses. He claimed to fear not being able to teach the teachers fast enough, In reality, teachers learning the language makes them a better teacher. He has no clue what its like to learn the language, because he never learned it. I say this having learned a language from a teacher who was learning it at the same time. If the teacher is willing to actively learn it, it works. And just because you know it better than anyone Bjarne, doesn't mean you can teach worth a damn.
Dell does it all the time. When i sent my dell laptop in, I was asked to remove the hard drive before putting it in the box. Booting a users OS for diagnostics isnt a good idea, unless you cant recreate the problem elsewhere.
What they dont tell you is that since 1998 the average global temperature has gone down.18 degrees Celcius, so the threat of the temperature rising 3 degrees, is almost non-existent.
I find it interesting that NASA is trying to do all this education stuf, yet they cut their biggest educational program, Summer Internships. You can still do an internship at NASA, but they have stopped paying interns, so nobody will work for them. I spent the last to summers doing an unpaid internship at NASA's JSC being told that this summer I would be paid. So their choice to spend money developing this educational website is rather annoying, Here's and idea, hire summer interns to develop this website, that would have killed to birds with one stone in the education department.
Thats probably a good thing, as I install so many programs, I dont mind having the admin access, I just wish I could turn it off when I dont need it, so im not responsible for anything.
Having spent time Working for the government/military. It is entirely plausible that these ramdom people have admin access to their machines. I a user wants to intall a program they call the admin and he oversees it. after the third of fourth time, the admin gets tired of it, and gives the user local admin access. I had it after working there for only a week.
Enter my expertise. I was a software engineer at NASA and happened to do some work on a clock manager software. The use of UTC actually causes less grief becasue everyone is using it. Managing several different times at any givin time could be disaterous. If something is calculated for one time, and executed in a different time, it will happen at the wrong time. Kinda like the inches/cm problems that were experienced in recent years.
If you followed that you are of greater intelligence than I am. Guess that why I work for the government.
rain, metal is slick when wet, this is just an accident/lawsuit waiting to happen.
also, they say it could power street lights, which are only on at night, when traffic is at its lowest and would not be sufficient to power anything.
the only problem is is show up collapsed at the top, so unless you feel like clicking the ling and loading a new page, all you see is the regular websites that you would have seen before.
Ok im going to be a bit of a smart alec here, but its actually geostationary. geosychronous moves around abit relative to the ground within a certian accaptable error. Geostationary however would be the correct term for this case since there is no motion relative to the earth
unless somebody shakes the ladder.
Another example NASA. I have written code that the government now has a patent on. Why are people so dumb? Do they honestly beleive that nobody knows anything more than them, so they can get away with crap like that.
Actually, The plan for that amount of energy is a plasma engine. There is a working prototype in the VASMR lab and NASA's Johnson Space Center. Basically, it uses superheated minute amounts of plasma to provide thrust. The model they currently have, fills the room, and provides a fraction of the amount of power, but when this technology is ready, it could make the 2 day trip to mars a possibility.

Since the Article Links to the original text, It isnt taking credit for it as and original work and is therefore not plaigerism
I dont know about you. But I for one would not not go see a movie bacause she had nice tits.
