Of course. You can't learn that sort of judgement (when to use vs when not to use) from a book. But our profession's training material, at least in my experience reading, drills it in your head to use all these…
I can only partially answer your question for Pascal: Look at the Free Pascal compiler. I learned (Turbo) Pascal many years ago. Recently I've revived my usage while writing a video game. I wanted a mature, compiled, no…
I'm using only Ghostery, and I did not see any ads. Perhaps it stops such code from running?
I was thinking about driving before GPS recently and I had to go somewhere I've never been to before. So I resolved to just look at Google maps before hand and then just try to driver there and back without my GPS unit…
Sun is actually white... which is why you see a all the colors in a rainbow. I know Superman lied to you. :)

Most mainstream music (i.e. stuff that makes it into Billboard's charts) is obviously targeted at teenagers and maybe people in their young 20's. I'd say the same thing is true about movies. I guess I wouldn't call any…
Hmm so when were was there a lull? Serious question. I grew up in the 80's and although I don't check space news every day it doesn't seem like activity in space decreased in that time. All I'm really aware of is the…
Good to hear that you're happy and your choices have worked out, sincerely. But kindly please consider the following points: 1. You may not have worked enough to burn out. If you're in your 20's you can work longer too.…
The author's analogy with Mozart's music is curious. Mozart's compositions are closer to the classical forms of a symphony, concerto, etc. than other well known composers who came later. He didn't slavishly follow some…
Album is _Hurt Seconds_ by The Shy Trafficker. I'll warn you that it's a long poorly recorded slog. There's a couple songs with some vocals but most of it is instrumental. Instrumental rock tends to be pretty unpopular…
That made me wonder what the procedures are if one was to die on the ISS. You'd have to store the remains somewhere until the next Soyuz ship can launch? That's probably enough morbid thinking for today.
This is not an example of racist hashtags, but I remember hearing about a lot of racist tweets when Obama's speech about the Newtown massacre interrupted Sunday Night Football. Edit: grammar
I'm not sure how compelling my argument is... but if I have nothing to hide then why does anybody need to look? For example does the TSA seeing everybody naked actually improve security?
I agree it is a red herring in general. That's why I asked when do you see NC-17 movies in a cinema (in the US).
True it was in the US release. I guess I assumed that since we're talking about censoring nudity we were talking primarily about the US market. This is getting off topic, but I don't think it was a bad movie, although…

I've always preferred Window's font rendering because its very readable on a low DPI screen, which is most of the screens out there.

There are a lot of movies that are rent only or even watch it only if I see it on TV. But good movies (for some definition of good) are worth multiple viewings.
> Windows 2000 and XP were very good operating systems I by no means am some Microsoft hater, but I'm amused about this tinted rose glass nostalgia for XP. It's easy to say XP is a good system now with the maturity…
The site says they used a "contact microphone," so I assume what we're hearing is vibrations in the rocket not so much the air.
I agree with all you said, but why hate programmers? That just seems a bit personally offending. Why not instead hate new software projects?
