Wall Street must be a huge export product. The financial institutions that have the knowledge and control over the market can create dips to force out unknowing foreign investors and bring back their wealth. It's a brilliant scheme.

The comment doesn't make any sense in the first place. If "Hispanics" are a group and a majority then that would be reflected in the political and socio-economic system.

Actually, I don't think Microsoft cares that much about their browser. It's not like it makes them any money. It was a selling point for their OS. Now there are plenty of alternative selling points.

Probably to gain that 10 seconds worth of load-time, which is enough time for people to close your site many, many times. It's a tragedy really. I stopped using Cybertown over 10 years ago. A 3D virtual community accessed in your browser

People complain about education too much. Kids will find their way. You shouldn't judge a generation until they're over 50 and vote a Republican goofball into office that destroys the American economy. Now they obviously had some bad educat

The good thing about powerpoint can be that the professor actually thinks about how he is going to present his topic. I find that old-school professors tend to drift a lot.

His position has been unmaintainable for a while, but it may have made him realise its time to leave.

It's not about failing students. Sure, students could be failing because your education is poor. That was not the case. It's about challenging students to the point where those with the intellectual prowess and discipline and the rest go on

Well not for me. I have quite a hard time keeping by eyes from hurting after staring at a computer screen all day. Thank god for paper.

The real failure here is the words "instead of". It's really not hard to learn both and especially good to learn when to use which.

> By pre-1990 standards about 20% of the students should have been failed. Interesting, I find that number quite low. The failure rates for most CS courses at my BSc/MSc university (VU Amsterdam) usually hovered around 50% in the post-0

I usually use the distinction of "programmers" and "engineers" between people who know how to use a programming language and people who know how to build a computer system.

> Hardly anybody directly programs their web aware stuff in C. More than you might think. Especially a lot of Fortune 500 companies tend to have their own frameworks programmed in C. They're generally not interested in rapid prototyping

Are you referring to "the IBM"? The company with a Market Cap of $150 billion, larger than Google, Apple, Cisco and every other IT company except Microsoft? There's a big gap between what is true on the web and what is true in reality. IBM

The problem with language features is that people will actually use them. Much better for maintenance to have consistent code. Except for inner-classes, you always know what to expect when opening a Java file. Java's not as elegant as Eiffe

Sounds nice in theory, in reality less than 1% of applications really need to scale and only one "resource" a.k.a. "server" is going to have to do all the work, simply for economic reasons. Current (shared) PaaS offerings still have too man

Spending all that time working seems to be much more economical. I just eat bread in the morning and afternoon and cook a different meal every night. Probably comes down to about $20 a week. I could eat for less that $0.75 if I want to, but

World-wide there are 107 men born for every 100 women. As women tend to get older the overall difference is 101/100. It also differs per country, and possibly other groupings. Some numbers are in: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/t
