   I highly doubt that. Microsoft has been embracing a lot of things lately. Moving towards Open source and open platforms. I don't believe it has anything to do with LibreOffice but everything to do with change in their attitude.

    What I've noticed when it comes to programming is that after a while, almost everything is a reinvention of the old stuff. Programming languages? Bah! Just same old stuff, if you are already well versed in something, then you are n

    Get whatever you want, that's the truth. I'm currently on a 3 years chromebook that I bought for $150. It works great for me, but you will probably hate it. I added 8gb of ram to it for a total of 10gb. It has 16gb drive. I i

    It's a sign of maturity to show that a language can bootstrap itself, prolog has been written in prolog, erlang was written with prolog first, then later rewritten in erlang, as other's have pointed out, it's pretty common fo

    Amazing story, it's not even the immigration process that caught my eyes, but how you knew exactly what you wanted, kept at it, once you had the chance, you made the move, and 3 years later, you pay more in taxes than you can ever earn

    The article is poorly written, he never once talked about passion, instead he talks about obsession, over working or burning out. Passion is not harmful. Lack of passion on the other hand? I wish the world had more passionate programme

    I have to strongly disagree with this article. Altair BASIC was not lame for it's time. It was GREAT! There was no OS, there were barely any assemblers, you would have to toggle switches to binary representation to enter code in

    Great engineer is relative. I'm a "great engineer" and I will work with BASIC or PERL and CVS if it came down to it. The problem I solve is more important than the tools.

    It's more than selling cars, I know folks that got hired who are working on their mobile apps or car entertainment system, etc. And selling cars is what they do, how many programmers does google have so they can sell ads online?
