Actually I heard the black hole was already there, but when she fell into it she clogged it up. (found on the Internet)

I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen? A bunch of nerds get inconvenienced?

But will it help you watch Weezer's wonderful music videos of a simpler time? (It's more fun if you watch it full-screen).

They're cutting into Google Cicles's mindshare? With everything going on these days, I should probably have some pearls on hand to start clutching.

I've mentioned this before, but one could consider just having kids fire up Google Sheets, then trying to:

• populate cells
• enter an arithmetic expression, e.g., =A1+B1+C1
• enter a function, =sum(A1,B1,C1)
• enter a function with a linear range
• enter a function with a rectangular range
• enter functions in both ways to demonstrate associative and commutative properties

If they can grasp these concepts, then sure, move them forward into a computer science class. But don't assume that all kids can necessarily do this with comprehension and some assistance, and if they can't ... what are the odds they'll be able to get to step one in a computer science curriculum?

If you want the education before (or after) the degree, you can go to the free course websites that Harvard and MIT offer. MIT was one of the earliest to start putting their course materials online, but there are also a lot of other prestigious universities that make their class materials available.

Probably because the lamp has since been retired.

But if you had a human moving the cards around, even if s/he couldn't tell whether it was interpreting a foreign language or playing a first-person shooter game, it could still be considered as "running" Doom. Something like a "Chinese Doom."

Censored:

• over a social media post
• suspected of
• alluding to
• Winnie the Pooh (a symbol),
• of a nonspecific reference to President Xi Jinping

Even with first-hand knowledge of the content of such a social media post ... seems kind of tenuous.

Well that sucks. I let Slashdot know about this, but I did it by "flagging" your post. Hope that doesn't become a problem.

Here's one of those useful patterns.

They don't have those signs in animal shelters either. I don't see how that's relevant here.

I bet the drag shows have better climate control, too.

Or Chicago gangsters, considering their lethality.

Or these guys. I mean, we already have a list.
