My systems software professor had a massive hard on for java, and thus all the C/C++ we needed for Computer Architecture was no where to be found for 90% of my 20 person class. My comp arc professor told us to learn it the weekend before the first lab. Three people did, I already knew enough to write our very simple code.
Professor wanted us to annotate and explain assembly generated by a rather simple C program. He also wanted us to watch registers and make note of the changes in registers and stack and base pointers as we stepped through the program. After lab was over all but two students complained about having to even think about assembly code.
Next lab we played around with a special vector library the prof had made so we could see the difference between vector and scalar math. Me and another guy did the lab and started looking at the assembly and noticed that about a third of the assembly generated in a series of successive adds could be removed. No one else looked at the structure of the assembly, they just complained about having to annotate it again.
There are only so many ways to write a Las Vegas Algorithm when the teacher counts off for not following the algorithm as stated in pseudo code in the book.
Then he wants you to structure it a specific way. Then he wants a certain input. Then he wants a certain out put.
By them time your done, the only part of your program you get to "write" is the gui to display the output.
Oh and it has to be in the prof's preferred language, java.
So you end up with alot of remarkably similar programs, especially when the teacher has all these style demands and the same prof teaches students 2 or 3 classes in and everyone starts naming classes and methods the way he does.
Kids who were still in school or College during the depression were doing pretty fucking well. It typically meant there parents still had some kind of money, or it meant that there parent didn't need their help scraping together food money.
How do warrants and probable cause work in Europe?
I mean I realize that the video is just a sales pitch. However it bothers me that they never showed someone reporting something missing. The video gave the impression of "He looks suspicious, lets mobilize the cops to pick him up".
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
Um, I'm not an expert on the strategic bombing campaigns conducted by the Allies during world war two, but I don't recall Berlin getting firebombed on the level you described. In fact the event that you described sounds more like what happened in Dresden when the Allies burned the city.
Also, conventional high-explosive bombs were quite effective at causing damage to utilities during WW2. You don't need a penetration weapon to do that.
Huh, I've always had to install it at work. Then again I'm not sure of the specifics of installing it on our dells. We use lite touch to deploy it along with a ton of other stuff.
Patents should protect your exclusive right to produce a device/product/whateverthefucktheyareactuallysupposedtoprotect, not protect your "right" to an entire market.

It's not the programming, it's the programmers.

This happened to me in Virgina a few weeks back. AT&T is my service provider. Promptly logged out so I could get onto mine.
I seriously doubt that we have enough surface area to replace eating with photosynthesis. We would also continue to need nutritional input.

Because a number of groups with rather different goals have one thing in common.
Sustainable nuclear power is a threat to their pocketbooks.
I believe in Act:9-12 talks about where followers of Jesus were first called "Christians".
I had a second thing.
Then I forgot it before typing it.
It was forgotten along with proof reading.
Two things.
We are talking about flash vs flash not flash vs Magnetic Disk Hard Drives.

Aye, I have to wonder if they controlled for the subjects hearing damage.
Cause in the future we don't have cable management or flimsy plastic plates to cover up sensitive equipment and sharp corners.

Don't people specifically BUY low jack for laptops, or does it come pre installed and you pay to activate it?
It clearly has bugs, but I thought the hard/impossible to remove was considered a feature of the software?

There were lasers, blasters, and turbo lasers.
Dysgraphic HighFive!
I should have just gone with "It is tying up a loose end in the same way that cutting of a leg is a treatment for an ingrown toenail"
Sorry, I tried to convey sarcasm via text. Once again, it failed.
Tying up a loose end so you don't have to test for compatibility?
You forgot per ship.
BMI is a perfectly equitable measure for a society which predominantly sedentary, however it has been misused and abused on a regular basis.
Does no one take simple fucking statistics anymore?
