Even genius doesn't contribute greatly to society without a good deal of economic advantages. How many Einsteins were there throughout history who didn't have time to sit around pondering physics, but were instead mediocre hunters because o

Ah, gotcha. Well, I have people in Marketing updating the CMS, if that tells you anything. :-) Some stuff like "moving" pages confuses them, and I have to keep explaining that a page is really just a thin container for the template and a li

I've been running dotCMS for 1.5 years now, and it's worked great. The templates are almost pure html, so designers will have free reign.

Well, that's why I called it confounding, if he maintained the same diet and cut calories, that would be a much better experiment. Instead, he both cut calories and massively altered his diet, so there's no telling why he lost weight. I men

To curb calories, he avoided meat, whole grains and fruits. Hmm, confounding. There's a lot of crazy stuff in meat, stuff that might well have something to do with obesity rates rising. There are many studies that show that the vege

What learning? You're asked to paste something into a terminal, not to understand it. That's not learning.

I think the point is, you'd have no problem learning pointer arithmetic if you needed it. It's not hard.

I don't think it's being rude. It's that 20 - 30 years ago, all executives had secretaries who would be tasked with responding to resumes. Now, communication is so easy that nobody needs their own secretary, but the executive is less likely

Often, sure. But that's no excuse for locking people out of their own hardware. Mobile platforms are the future computers for many people, and we simply cannot accept a future where the carriers and manufacturers control all aspects of comp

What are you doing online? If you're neglecting real life because you're consumed by creating something, then I say embrace it! It's called the zone, where all of your focus is purely focused on a task. It's a great thing.

Maybe just a bad example, but the QT doc says: On Windows, Mac OS X, KDE and GNOME, these static functions will call the native file dialog when possible. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qfiledialog.html QT is way better than Swing.

I fidget a lot, too. I suppose I've just gotten used to it, though. I would recommend "bone support." You shouldn't be holding the book up, but resting it somehow. Angle your arm so you don't have to use muscle, or it'll become painful. I

Whew, that's gag-worthy. I think their problem is they are trying to make "experiences" when people really just want quality software.

Ug. I thought you were joking. Now I'm sad for humanity.

Well... Not so much. I'm playing with it, but apparently it doesn't yet fully run on Windows. I think that'll work for my project, but that would prevent most people from using Go.

Distributing software always sucks, on every OS. It wasn't the language he had a problem with, it was the platform quirks.
