I'm also holding out for a razor blade with 6 blades, screw those wimpy 5 blade razors that Tiger is pitching right now. (F*ck, I have a beard, why do I want a razor blade? Screw it, I'm still waiting for 6 blades.)
If Google does it, it is because they are using the information to help us.
If Microsoft does it, it is used for evil. CONSISTENCY PEOPLE!
Except we know Google will store and OWN all the data. And, if it comes from someone criticizing the Chinese government, it will turn over said data to said government.
I wonder if at the last second they will replace the astronaut with a better looking one, while still flying the uglier one in a storage compartment to do all the work.
While...
Adding extra flame to the take off

Claiming the YouHangOnForDearLife (astronaut) is really 2 years older than he really is
Claiming the people of Tibet are truly free, autonomous, and much more happy, and the Dalai Lama is perfectly safe to return to his homeland
In the section where the interviewer tries to get him to compare with other languages, he says he prefers not to. But, some of the changes being considered look like a melding of ideas from Java and C# to name a few.
The question is, why go that far?
Tackle some of the changes in technology, but by and large, leave the language alone. It is good as it stands.
Actually, the Germans designed the Apollo for us. That worked very well. Then we designed the Shuttle. Two of them blew up, due to inelegant fundamental design flaws. So it was not the 'last time' but 'the time before last' that you refer to. Apart from that - your analysis is spot-on....
Not going to talk about your "Germans" comment, but...
Apollo had at least 2 major incidents, killing 3 astronauts, and endangering 3 others.
Shit happens when you are pushing the envelop. Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Shuttle, Salyut, Soyuz, Mir, all had their fatal or near fatal incidents.
Javascript has its uses and works fine. Platforms have been the problem for me in the past. But with new libraries like jQuery, Javascript has become quite the tool.
The big problem here is that while our funds are secured by Federal Insurance, our identities are not. And the potential for damage from ID theft are greater than the potential for loss of the little electronic digits that represent our money.
It can take years and lots of money to recover from ID theft. I am currently dealing with my sister-in-law's ID theft. She is a world traveler and spends 10 months out of the year in Africa, India, and the UK. We have signature authority on most of her stateside accounts. The problem is, she loves Internet Cafes and does her banking online.
She opened a new account in NYC before her last trip. She was in Nigeria for less than a week and we started to get alarming indications that something was wrong. Sure enough, some got her on what was her first visit to an cafe, her new account and her old WAMU account had to be shut down before it was raided. We are now getting credit warning letters in her name and we are hoping she doesn't get stopped in some country because someone used her name for a crime. Imagine the passport issues.
The problem might not be the bank's entirely, but there are measures they can take.
Which is why the ad should be Mao, Regan and Kennedy taking the bus together arm in arm.
ooh ooh oooh, great idea, and the bus is passing Stalin who is under the hood of his Trabant, cursing the day he said that taking the bus was inconvenient and never went where he wanted to go and always had smelly bums pissing on the back seat.
It may be earthlike, but it sure wouldn't be a comfortable place to spend any amount of time.
For you maybe, but anything that evolved in that environment would be really strong on this planet, be able to leap...wait, what was the name of that planet?
Can you imagine the women, why they'd be build like a brick shi...cue the Commodores.
Now, imagine this, you have a face scanner, you navigate to your previous one-handed sites. The inevitable happens, your face contorts, and you are taken to a page that says, "oh, uh, does that normally happen? wasn't that kind of fast?"
And damn it, what about people who've had their face frozen by botox?
When I was in the Marine Corps we had nothing but ancient rifles and flack jackets, and we are the ones who die.
You post really well for someone who died.
Look, when I first went in Carter was President and we had crap for equipment. I was part of a new doctrine and provided what was call Air Base Ground Defense. This was the USAF way of taking care of the "other side of the perimeter", an Air Force infantry, if you will. My M16 was Vietnam era, and may have actually been in the thick of it. My flack vest was from the same era, and when I was issued my gas mask, I was told there were no filters available. I had an old steel pot helmet and all the vehicles we were driving started with a "72-" number or lower (BTW, International made one Hell of a pick up that would take all kinds of abuse.
Reagan came into office, despite my voting for John Anderson, and we got tons of money. I was issued a new M16, newer but still era flack vest, and my gas mask was new, and we had tons of filters. If I needed or desired training, my orders were cut and funded before I could finish asking my Flight Chief. As a result of the increased recruiting, I ended up at the Basic Training School pushing troops through.
I cross trained into aircraft maintenance, first as a gun specialist on the A-10, then into Avionics. After the Gulf War, I ended up on the transports and took over my own aircraft.
George Bush started to cut funding and closed bases. It started to get difficult to feel confident about sending the aircraft out. When Clinton came into power, it became damn near impossible to get spare parts and I was beginning to have my doubts about signing off the red X's.
I got out under Clinton because it was no longer a functioning military that I was part of. Between him and his congresses, including the Republicrats, the USAF had been gutted. The pointy end of the spear we worked so hard to maintain had become an unreliable dried brittle poking device.
We had a few politician Generals and Admirals out there, but the true problem were the plain politicians.
The only reason Congress is upset with this is they didn't think of it first. When I was in the USAF, we routinely hosted VIP's that included top civilian employees (GS15+), political figures and aides, and of course, senior military officials. Some of the Generals would eat what we ate on the flights, "boxed nasties", usually a box lunch of a sandwich, chips, fruit, drink, and some dessert (Hostess or Little Debbie). None of the political people would even stoop to the level of eating what us lowlies had to eat. And don't get me started on "demanding". As a crew chief, I'm not an in-flight steward, but they treated all of us, including the flight crew as if we were their hired servants rather than the other way around, with them as our elected servants.
Reminded me of the dreams where you are naked in school.
You dreamed of me naked in school?
Dude, flattering, but that was in the 60's and 70's. But, I guess the naked little school boy thing gets you going. There was this time when Father Mc...wow, TMI, sorry I was about to fugue.
Wow, thanks for the school memories. I hadn't thought of that in ages.
Further, its just a warmed over I forgot my insert, I have to go back home:

Pants (I once arrived at work without my pants. Imagine a 20 minute commute, and I didn't even notice I was missing my pants. Hell, neither did the other people on the bus. (It was the Bay Area.)
Good God, editors, it's bad enough someone would submit this story, but you guys let it through?
Can we mod the editors out of office?
Would it be possible to add modding to the published articles? Can we prevent this submitter from ever submitting a story again?

Granted, in this case I don't know the language C#, but in general I never really understood the Head First series...
OMG, or, OMFG, Are you actually commenting on the book, or the review, or the publisher and not slamming C#? I am outraged. OUTRAGED! O U T R A G E D!
Sir, this is/.! Kindly start slamming C#,.NET, MS, Bill Gates, Bill and/or Melinda Gates, The Bill and Meliinda Gates Foundation, Ballmer, monkeys, chairs. But, sir, do not post on the book that was reviewed in the above article.
I can see it now... The earth gets a cease and desist from the Inter-Galactic Recording Industry Association of Astronomical distances (IGRIRAA) for performing the latest single of Ignoxtrix Umglalaut non-stop.
And due to an incidental wormhole, Ignoxtrix Umglalaut was released after George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby", and contains rifts and lyrics oddly similar to Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". So, the IGRIRAA can shove it down their six gullets into their four compartmented bowels until it rests where the Alpha Proxima doesn't shine.
I am so suing you for taking my novella and turning it into an AC/. post.
We don't do experiments because we have no idea what will happen. We do experiments because we have very specific questions we want to answer. Whether or not miniature black holes will be created is not one of those questions.
Hey, sparky, just because they aren't asking the question doesn't mean they aren't going to get the answer. Many discoveries were made because someone was doing something to the find the answer to a specific question and ended up finding the answer to a whole different problem.
Look, you are reading/., what do you know about "standard insertion procedure(s)"? You may understand the principles from your cyber-whatever and your Sims experience, but really, seducing your virtual girlfriend does not qualify you as an insertion expert.
