Except that's not what the law actually states. If you make over a certain threshold you have to pay income tax on it to the U.S. even if the income is from working in an overseas company, paid in a different currency, and stored in a

It isn't brazen arrogance. Limiting the number of countries that have nuclear weapons is a clear (though not explicitly stated) foreign policy goal. The U.S. wants to preserve the current balance of power, and prevent big wars that cou

Thought provoking, but I disagree with pretty much every conclusion. If there is anything they really need they can likely get ARM or Intel to put it in there, so building an ISA from scratch isn't going to gain them much. It's

Another case of "Meet the New Boss..." as far as intelligence goes. OTOH, the article lists no names, gives no details about specific alterations, etc. Which makes it more gossip than actual journalism, IMO.

Here's an iPad app that does Markdown + LaTeX: http://eqeditor.com/writer/ and then outputs HTML, ePub, etc. Not sure if it's exactly what you need but there you go.

The biggest mistake I made in college was not listening to my advisor and thinking that "recommended" courses means I could get by with taking something out of order. For example, taking Circuits I without taking Electromagnetic

Let's not limit this to Switzerland or even Europe. Many of these same work laws, health care benefits, and actual working public transport, exist in Australia. And I would assume many other countries that decided that Socialism, and s

It depends on what you want to do. The "technology world" is a big place. If you're going into biotech, for example, you can do just as well with a BS in Biology or Genetics and taking a few programming courses to give you an

Getting enough sleep is the most important factor in productivity for programming or other "brain" work. Caffeine is not a real substitute for sleep. When and whether to take in caffeine depends somewhat on your own situation. I a

I'll give the OP points for ambition, but I believe the article leans too much on Psychology for explanations rather than Political Science. This makes sense, if you are looking for the conclusion that people are irrational, but I don&

1. I believe the premise this question is based on is flawed. As other commenters have said, Functional vs. Imperative is not a binary state, but rather a sliding scale. Imperative is much closer to how the hardware works than Functional, s

Another thing I'm curious about is how the ScholarlyMarkdown authors would go about trying to get papers formatted in this way to go into a database like PubMed but that's pretty far down the track, and not addressed by any of the

Alot of interesting work, judging from the site, but this still feels like reinventing the wheel to me. In addition to AsciiDoc, there's MultiMarkdown ( http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/features/ featur

It depends on how much money you earn and where you live, mainly. If you make < 100k a year U.S. and pay taxes on it in the country you live in, you can get by with a 1040 and one or two extra forms as far as the IRS goes, and not have t

Their latest mouse is pretty good for most work related stuff. I don't really like the way it handles the left mouse button, however the touch scroll wheel is very nice, and once you get the hang of the other gestures you can use, it&#

That's pretty much the method I used to solve it. You aim for the right hand corner using only right and down moves. Your goal is to keep the rightmost column fully merged. This allows you to make the occasional 'Up' move whe

iOS (and I'd assume Android as well) is a grab bag of technology. To learn it correctly, you'd need to learn about memory management, enough graphics to understand how to draw to the screen, interpret touches, etc. All of that is

The goals of those courses are different from the goals of building complex software. Courses are designed to teach you how a language works in both theory and practice and they generally go through a language and help you understand what p

As far as equipment goes, I heart my MBP, but anything with an SSD drive that runs some flavor of Unix/Linux is what you need for most development. Adjust what you buy according to your budget, but unless you're wanting to do 3D

As rchowe said, the different formats are mostly used in higher math and have semantic meanings specific to that context. These should almost never be used outside that context as they have different byte values from the usual Roman charact

Speaking from personal experience, unless you expect a user base in the upper 100k to 1M+, you'll be talking less than a cup of coffee from Apple's ad base. Direct ads may work, but you will need metrics on your users in order to

The CIA starts pulling Nixon level shenanigans and the general response is ZOMG Feinstein is such a hypocrite? The way this works is: 1) The CIA violated the law under Bush II by torturing, but was allowed to get away with it because, polit

I don't think there is a blog that can be described as both "lightweight" and support all of the features you've listed. I use a PHP framework (li3) in my day job, but the framework that seemed to fit my blogging needs t
