Wow, I'm so happy I stopped commuting and got a job in my home town. I went from being away from home 7-19 to being away from home 7.30-17.30 Now, I don't exercise but I spend 2x30 minutes bicycling to and from work.

I'm pretty sure Sony Computer Entertainment has some pressure from other game publishers to have DRM on the PlayStation Store.

Hear hear. Swedish citizen here and I can't really imagine any looting happening should something like this happen up here. I was not the least bit surprised that it happened in Haiti, seeing as how poor people already were there. Same thin

Servers, embedded devices and PCs are totally different markets.

There are more Android phones than iPhones. Which market do you think Apple has a monopoly over? They have a quarter or something of the US smart phone market and less world wide.

You offend anyone with a brain when you write blatantly wrong assumptions about how only the EE master race learn about how integers are represented. Just where did you get the idea that an Elecrit Engineer knows more about the types in MyS

I got worked up because your comments are just like any of the other millions of Computer-Scientists-don't-know-anything-about-anything-and-are-only-in-it-for-the-money comments you see everywhere. You could have spent two minutes googling

I can vouch for the majority if not all universities in my country and all of Scandinavia. I don't dare speak for europe as a whole, mostly because the UK does things more like in the US, see Dijkstras commments on the difference between

I went to University in Sweden, this was the first year in an undergraduate program. A public university of course, we're dirty socialists after all ;) We learned denotational and operational semantics but only used operational semantics in

Disregarding the fact that all CS graduates know how integers are represented, You don't need to know anything about that to know that you should not store phone numbers as ints. You will typically normalize telephone numbers when storing t

And what I'm trying to get at is that there are about zero CS graduates that do not know that integers usually are limited to the word size of the architecture you are working on. If you're talking about really crappy schools and crappy stu

Yes, you are wrong. I study CS and the first year we learned about digital logic, how to build memory, clocks, ALUs, etc. in parallel with learning about loop invariants, operational and denotational semantics, computational complexity, alg

I'm afraid patents are too strong for that. It's illegal to infringe on patents even for your own use.

In Sweden we have three grades: fail, pass, and pass with distinction. I rather like it as I don't believe it's meaningful to try to distinguish hundreds of different grades. Engineers have one more grade than the rest of us: fail, 3, 4, 5
