The investors just keep falling for it! It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Also, apparently real world investors are no smarter than Eve online investors when it comes to bitcoin or isk. So here's a little hint, fellas, if someone's offering to hold your bitcoins (or isk) for you, it's a scam.
You can already get the highest quality iPlones on alibaba. They look like an iPhone, but they're not. They're probably made by the same guys and the same high-quality tears of Chinese children, though!
It's recursion. Therefore fundamentally incomprehensible! Heh heh. So you can muddy the water even more with a useless example, or you can demonstrate how it can make certain tasks significantly easier... right up until you have to debug a problem in that code.
For what it's worth, the kids in the AP class at the high school I attended it upstate New York back in the late '80's were doing recursive descent parsers in Pascal. I don't think three decades of being exposed to computers have made the kids any less able to understand that sort of thing, but somehow we seem to have become less able to teach it.
Building or search a binary tree with recursion is not difficult to code or understand and is something you might legitimately do at some point in a programming career. You can say bad examples are just for teaching materials, but if all students are ever exposed to are bad examples, it's going to be a lot harder for them become good programmers.
Likewise, whenever anyone brings up design patterns, the go-to pattern is inevitably singleton. Want to find a good design patterns book? Look in the index under "S". If Singleton isn't mentioned, it's probably a good design patterns book. If anyone wants to argue this point because you think Singleton is a good design pattern, you're a bad programmer and should consider getting a MBA. Again, it's goddamn trivial to build a factory/listener pattern to build objects from a data file. A factory or listener will generally make it through a code review. A singleton never will. Even if it's the one good example of a time when a singleton might actually be a good fit for something, the code review board will shoot it down.
Being in the first 4-5 entries on a google search is worth a lot of money. I didn't think anyone looks at domain names anymore. We may as well just be using IP addresses at this point.
I think everyone from employers to credit card companies and loyalty card companies are going to be issuing RFID-embedded cards real soon now, and so in the next couple-three years I'm probably going to end up with a lot of RFID chips on me. I've been kicking around the idea of trying to read them with my NFC-enabled phone and then playing them back later on so I don't have to carry around all those goddamn loyalty cards. Of course, it's just a step from that to picking up and playing other people's. Anyway it seems kind of pointless to stick a chip in my body when I carry a device capable of emitting NFC everywhere that I go, anyway.
Not meddling in their entire region and propping up dictators who favor selling us cheap oil for the last, oh, 100 years or so? And possibly not becoming so dependent on an abundant resource of theirs that a few people in power can become ridiculously rich while the rest of their population has to subsist on shit farming? It's not that we have to be diplomatic to them, rather they should never have existed in the first place.
At this point learning from our mistakes and diversifying our energy economy would help a lot. Everything that happens there happens because someone wants control of that oil supply. Render that irrelevant and that entire region will just dry up like a popcorn fart. You know, diplomacy!
By 2045 we'll be down the other side of the slope, most citizens of the USA and elsewhere will not be able to afford to own and operate a vehicle and a good chunk of the expected population growth will have died off due to measles and other preventable diseases. Boom, problem solved. You're welcome.
Tunning into an infomercial food suppliment quackery site, are we? This is a new low, even for slashdot. Did Dice put you up to this or are you just giving free advertising to any shit that comes along now?
They get as much penis as they want, in their choice of orifice as long as it's the ass! And they must like it like that, otherwise more of them would strike out on their own on the Internet and cut out the layers of parasitic middlemen between them and their listeners. Of course, then you don't have the vast marketing apparatus behind you and are relying on word of mouth to get around, but I'd be surprised if your garage band didn't get at least as much putting out an electronic tipjar on your youtube video as you would from a label, and way less penis. Well... you'd probably get takedown notices even if all your work was original, so there'd still be a fair amount of penis. Basically what I'm saying is you can't avoid penis in that industry.
Eeh. It's not so bad. I've had to maintain code from a few perl programmers recently, and it's usually not too hard to follow it. If I were in charge of corporate coding standards, they'd have to use "use strict" everywhere, and justify any global variables to a design review board. Also, I'd create a design review board. But that's more of an issue with bad programmers than a bad language.
He's just bludgeoning the Republicans with soundbite-worthy policy ideas that will whip up specific portions of his base in preparation for the next election. This will keep Fox news distracted from its otherwise full-time coverage the Republican candidate line-up. The more Obama keeps his agenda in the news, the more likely it will be that a Republican Senator, candidate or Fox news commentator will say something racist, misogynistic, stupid or possibly all of those things at the same time. In the event it's all three, I'd like to pre-coin the phrase "Fox News Trifecta."
Mark my words, as we get closer to the election, he'll start breaking out the big guns. I'm sure he's already planning to talk about reproductive rights and race relations at some point along the way. I'm surprised he played immigration as early as he did but I'm sure it's going to come up again. I have to admit he surprised me on Cuba. Definitely didn't see THAT one coming.
Last time I called them to update my expiring credit card number, I didn't even have to talk to a human being. It was all handled by a computer that was easy to understand, quick and didn't try to upsell me on any Comcast bullshit in the process. I gotta say I like Comcast a lot more when I don't have to talk to anyone there.
Damn it, Steve! Fine! Time for plan B! Put up the artist rendition of the sexy anthropomorphized herpes-infected man-whore mosquito! Just in time for the 50 Shades of Grey movie!
Yeah, if you're in the market for cheap plastic crap and aren't terribly picky about quality, that's definitely the place to go. Hopefully that's not where my doctor goes to get his pee-hole probulators. There are some goods where cheap wal-mart quality simply won't do. Hello Kitty Branded dildos, yes, pee-hole probes, no. Because you know if that goddamn thing breaks off inside you, doc's gonna have to go for the forceps, which were probably also made for cheap in China. And you know, next thing you know, you have 18 things broken off and stuck up your pee hole. All because your goddamn PPO thought it'd be a good idea to do bargain-basement shopping for dick probing. And also didn't think you might maybe want some drugs when some guy is digging around up your pee hole. Entirely hypothetically speaking, naturally.

Mmm. Delicious.
No no no, you got it all wrong! It was not intended that they get caught! The whole injecting their own ads into the stream, that's a feature!
The Apple iSolar panel will have a brushed aluminum back, rounded bevel and will do everything but generate solar power.

So you're saying we need to mount an expedition to the North Pole? Fine, I'll get the dogs...

If the goatse guy goes through customs, does he get a huge picture of that on his google glass?

For some reason I just thought of Calculon breaking down and crying, "Why are there THREE EXTRA SCREWS?! Whyyyyyy!"

Oh wait, they were. Um... Ok... Think of how hard it is going to be to write a love song for that!
Either way, they're getting a heaping helping of placebo. That's all they're really buying, anyway.
