uh, AC is talking about exit visa. The USA does not require citizens to get permission to leave the country. China does, except for a few exceptions (eg: Australia and Canada).
"Businesses need PCs to run Office (actual version doesn't matter), and some old applications programmed in obsolete frameworks. Otherwise, they spend as little as possible on PCs because nothing Microsoft and the PC world comes up offers business any real value. All new IT investment is in web, "cloud", mobile, etc."
I dunno, I have a hard time seeing a cubical farm full of people furiously molesting their ipads. I don't see tablets replacing laptops, just augmenting them.
he was placed under house arrest. Why didn't the US extradite him then? Why would Sweden extradite him before he can stand trial for crimes allegedly committed in Sweden?
See, government spying is bad, because it's government, and whenever the government gets involved, it's inherently bad, because after all, it's the government.
But, this is not the government, this is business. And in this case, it's pretty much ok, because it's the free market doing it, and the market knows whats best for itself, because it's the market, and not the government.
I hate Unity. I hate Gnome3. I hate that Gnome3 classic isn't quite the same as Gnome2. KDE is decent, but has (had?) several annoying things about it. So I ditched Ubuntu and went with CentOS 6.
I like tweaking my UI to perfection. Some don't, that's cool, I do. Gnome2 + compiz + other gtk trickery, has always resulted in the perfect desktop.
And thus, the answer (as in most cases with technology) is "it depends".
There is no one tool to rule them all. The various languages and technologies were created to solve a specific problem that a different tool or technology didn't quite address well. SQL is great. NoSQL is great. Both have their place. The key is using the right tool for the problem and to quit thinking one is better than the other.
Every time I see this debate, this is what I always see. "it depends"
it depends on WHAT?! NoSQL people keep touting features, SQL people keep touting history, neither say "well, RDBMS is best suited for [insert descriptions here], while MongoDB is best suited for [insert descriptions here] and Lucene/Solr is best suited for [insert descriptions here]".
Quebec would have to declare bankruptcy though, but that's not an indication of the productive output of the province, but of rampant government corruption and mismanagement, across both the Quebec LIberals and PQ.
How is it that the most taxed jurisdiction in North America has to deal with massive social unrest due to hiking a heavily subsidized tuition?
As much as I like python, Groovy seems like the logical next step.
It's dynamically typed, it has a similar syntax, it can be procedural and oop, it has access to 99% of the java ecosystem. The learning curve from PHP to Groovy is much smaller than python I'd imagine.
Just replace Zend Framework/Symphony with Swing, Apache HTTPD with Apache Tomcat, remove $ from variable names, and while "this" may not be required, it certainly makes code easier to read and is more in line with php, and replace -> with a period.
Voila... the post-php world has arrived. With a language that has more similarities syntax-wise with Javascript, the flexibility of PHP with the option to be as strict as Java, and access to a wealth of superb libraries.

I have space for 1000 fruit. If I selectively pick 1000 apples, I still have a 1000 fruit.
...then you have nothing to hide!
I guess in the future, lucid dreaming will be mandatory learning a young age so we are forced to control our dreams to prevent deviancy.

you mean Arizona
US telling Russia "I scratched your back, now you scratch mine"
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE DUUUUUUDE
The number one cause of plane crashes are indeed conspiracies.
Not only do people need to read 1984, but they also need to read Brave New World so they can start making more accurate literature comparisons.

Makes sense right?
google bought motorola to protect samsung presumably.
Dev tools man... these are dev tools.
No, the point is to spark discussion, not make a point.
Microsoft is killing Silverlight because it was a stupid idea to begin with. Even then Flash was declining and HTML5 was the obvious winner.
But killing off .net?! Where do you get that from?

Why is this somehow a necessity?
but anonymity is bad too?
you mean Python and Vi don't you?
I really don't miss perl, even if it was as alcohol friendly of a language as it gets.

and whats wrong with Key: Value; Value; Value anyways?
what is this obsession of yours to having one government be responsible over another government?
Federal, state, province, county, municipal, bouncer at the fancy club, it's just politics man.
Quebec contributes significantly to the country.
Quebec would have to declare bankruptcy though, but that's not an indication of the productive output of the province, but of rampant government corruption and mismanagement, across both the Quebec LIberals and PQ.

I'm a quebecker, it makes no sense...
to be fair, freedom of speech necessarily implies that anonymity be protected.
Which is irrelevant if apple just goes and forcibly blocks all its competitors from even importing their own products.
