Personally I was not expecting massive change, but the public mood seemed to be anticipating a crack down on race-hate speech at least. I am firmly of the view that speech should be allowed, and allowed to be challenged openly, though.

Not exactly the change people were anticipating. In fact, I'm not sure there is a change.

Surely engineering is just about building stuff that works, or "meets requirements". Is there any kind of engineering for which that is basically not the case? Science is about understanding the natural world by building and testi

Given Greece probably has an army of unemployed IT professionals who would work for spare change this seems shortsighted to say the least.

You don't seem to understand what "abstraction" means in computer science. Hint: it's nothing to do with memory management. High level languages like Python/Ruby actually have less abstractions than lower level lang

Well if I asked your average brain-dead Java developer it would be to make your code more "generic" so you don't have to change a single line of code when requirements change, just tweak some XML somewhere! And if there is on
