During Carter's era or today. In 90 I was trained for a year in computer engineering for our sonar computer mainframe including Assembly. The idea was that if we were on deployment and a bug caused a problem we could potentially figure

I agree, Minecraft worlds unlike some other sandbox games are backwards compatible mostly. You can create a world with the custom presets that is wild, all hills, all diamonds, massive floating islands in the sky, you name it then go back a

You want work in a game? Try 7 days To Die. Clear a newly found town of 50 to 100 zombies so you can maybe find a can of dog food in one of the cupboards. That's work and it's fun and I have no idea why.

I doubt most parents force anything on kids these days least likely gender specific stuff. It's human nature, girls generally like girly stuff and boys like guy stuff and that's human nature and it is not ever going to change over

A lot of interests are tied to gender, probably more so than not. I'm more amazed that you're amazed that it should be the other way around. Even more amazing if the story is true that Amazon would try to change the core of human

That's what I thought when I read the headline, reading the comments it's clear it's just another programmer's text editor. Eclipse is a full, powerful, customizable platform, mature with plugins for everything.

The whole Valve team are doing a great job with Steam, I hope gamers get on board with supporting companies that push the realm of gaming platforms, or at leave Valve.

I guess I was expressing that the stuff that Apple Open Sources seems genuine, legit, honest and I admire that. I guess as I get older I realize (sorry for all the I's) that maybe I should give Apple a second look, on all fronts.
