Completely disagreed. First, a beginner is a beginner programmer. They are learning to think like a programmer and should be given every incentive to learn best practices right away. Python enforces this. Guess what, so does BASIC, my first language. Not as much as Python, but it was. As soon as I picked up Perl I began playing around with single line programs and good lord was that a bad idea.
Also I take offense to you and anyone else that thinks programming languages should be treated as a natural language. If you try to teach someone "in their terms" as you put it, you do them a disservice by letting them think programming languages are fuzzy and difficult like English or other natural language. The learning curve is steepened, not lessen by such nonsense.
Again, teach programming, not natural language parsing.
Has come to mean? That's what conservative has always meant. Even in America's history. Except the corporatist part. When it was new (ie the North and the South fought a war over this stuff) it was liberal, now that it is the status quo it is conservative. But always supporting the military and big government control of social issues has been the conservative ideal in almost every society everywhere. It's a shame that libertarians are trying to convince people that economic issues can be separated from social issues. Liberals haven't done much to help though as the soccer mom that goes to yoga is labeled a liberal even though she's probably the epitome of conservative values in this country.
Note that small vs big government is a red herring. Libertarians have muddied that water immensely, but yes conservatives really do want big government more than liberals. Socialism, for instance, is only a liberal cause in a select few countries (ie USA), and is only labeled "bigger government" here because our conservatives forget that outlawing abortion and gay marriage requires big government.
Crazy vitriol when you didn't even bother to understand that the GP was referring to the specific use case of video streaming over UDP. Sorry that you look the fool.
Pollution has been extensively documented to cross state lines. Of course this is an interstate commerce issue. I'm surprised this comment needs to be stated.
This is true, but I think the spin is incorrect. I'm part of an organization that has worked with this lawsuit in the past and the entire point was that Congress's answer has been "The EPA is responsible", and the EPA's retort is "we don't have the power". This lawsuit was a win-semi-win for us as we have removed one of the branches from the equation. I believe the next action _is_ suing the EPA with the precedent that this is their job firmly established.
No, the crappy motor in the lawn mower is real and tangible. It's not heartbreaking though, the strawman is quite sad. Starving Ethiopians are not tangible.
How does Wikipedia's article lead you to believe anything about what scientists are thinking? Wikipedia is about current knowledge, scientists are about expansion of current knowledge.
You should probably acknowledge that legal/illegal is very different from capable/incapable. The former is tied to laws that are completely outside the hands of the company. The latter can be actual technical or financial concern, but can also just be the ability of the IT department. Which is more true than not in my company.
Completely agreed. Not only is the monkey-sphere of Switzerland a tighter web, but the power disparity in the country is low, leading to a tighter mono-culture. Of course, I'm proud to live in a country that hasn't outlawed minarets.
I'd counter that claim with history showing that the best scientists and engineers come from impoverished backgrounds where their parents' optimism and hard-work is their key to success.
People watch docudramas. You shouldn't criticize trying to make a documentary entertaining. That's how to get new people to watch it. Stick to the dumbing down, as that's unnecessary.

The average user is never going to compare them on equivalent hardware.

Those are nice, rational definitions. Too bad those that espouse rational thought don't subscribe to much of it.
You attribute far too much to perception and not nearly enough to complacency.
Ohhhh, now I see that you are a troll. Excuse my earlier attempt at trying to point out the obvious..

And all the anti-greenies are silent on this topic. Predictable?

Hopefully the people whose land the dam would destroy don't want the hydroplant either. Reverse NIMBY is a common target for us "greenies".
It's the parallelization. The GPU could check a lot more passwords at the same time.
Pretty much sums up why I gave up on Marvel and DC at the age of 11.

Or he's in one of those mythical companies that actually runs effectively. I'm not, sounds like you aren't, but millage can definitely vary.

The problem is that most companies treat IT costs as a loss so that the number 1 function of IT is to be cheap. And we always get what we pay for.
Yes thank, it is management's fault. Of course, it is just as often IT's management as it is upper management in my company.

Is it luck or opportunity that picks your parents?

It's a what now? You should speak to different liberals if yours think the federal government drives the US economy. They are idiots.
