I would stick with caucasian.

It's an interesting approach, too bad they decide to ignore data that doesn't match their theory. And even then it's perfectly possible that life evolved/got more complex faster in the beginning before the growth of complexity got to the current model, a kind of biological inflation, akin to the cosmological inflation.

Yet Kirk would be dumpfounded with a flat screen.

You can also have to opposite problem I had a professor giving a test so easy that the worse grade was 17 out of 20. I would prefer an almost impossible test and then be graded against my classmates, you just have to provide some rules against gaming (minimum requirements for example).

The future as arrived, in some aspects we have far surpassed the wildest dreams of many sci-fi writers. Some technologies of Star Trek, for example, seem quaint in comparison we some things we got now.

I think this is a perfect example why we need anti-cartel and anti-collusion laws. The students have collectively found one way to beat the professor algorithm, managed to create an effective system to prevent anyone from braking the agreement so by my book, as we are talking about programming classes, means that they understand the essential part of what they are supposed to be learning, so I don't see why a good professor would do otherwise.

One of the factors that led to some technologies being "underdeveloped" is the improvement of other technologies. For example improved telecommunications and miniaturization have reduced the need for better transportation.

I personally believe in committing as early as possible, it's never too soon to screw up your code and having to go back.

Glenn Beck is an expert in conspiracy theories so you should value is opinion on the subject. It takes one to know one.

The year 2038 is way more serious than the 2k year problem, because the latter was mainly a limitation of user space apps, the year 2038 on the other hand affects operating systems and hardware, and, specially on embedded systems, it will be very hard or impossible to fix.

If he wasn't an asshole people would keep submitting crap to the kernel and Linux would be irrelevant. It's better not getting involved than doing an bad job.

RMS is also an asshole and a dictator, but is nowhere near as effective as Linus, dictatorship is only the right answer with the right dictator.

I know there are many people that think Linus is an asshole, but things like this show why he is the right one to lead Linux, and why Linux is so popular in comparison to other open source kernels.

I got rid of it by ignoring the user, but his will not help if some site decides to spam hubski.

They are probably just showing off some of their analytical tools to prove they can predict anything useful.

I think it's sad some developers (not only Ubuntu/Linux developers) fail to grasp this.

Sometimes you consider something midly interesting, and that's not enough to comment but it's enough to be worth sharing, sometimes you don't have anything new to add to the discussion.

C, C++, Python, PHP, Java/ECMAScript, some Java, a little x86 ASM. I'm a professional programmer.

Are you thinking in any language in particular?

Unfortunately this is symptomatic of the situation in Belarus.

The link isn't working for me.

I've a even more controversial opinion: brownies suck.

I wouldn't say a courtesy, but more a mutual understanding to prevent us from killing each other, pretty much as every other human convention. It's a simple trade, you don't try to kill me and I don't try to kill you, and we are both happy.

I found the url in twitter, I'll update my post to include it.

I think the use of the term "meme" to mean macro images was an analogy due to their viral spreading. Nevertheless it's a pity this use polluted the meaning of original word.

You could try to follow the Reddit API as closely as possible as it would allow to "recycle" a great deal of code made for Reddit, and allow apps to be ported to hubski.
