It's much easier to design experiments for the physical sciences than the biomedical sciences.

I think my first programming attempt was recreating pong on a timex zx80 that I had checked out from the library.

I think 'being run over a truck' was loose way of saying 'dying in a traffic accident'

I wasn't arguing that a contract with a professional photographer means anything to people attending, just that they have the ability to restrict vendors to these events. The student running around taking pictures and then selling them online could be construed as acting as a vendor.

This does make things a little more fuzzy. I wouldn't be surprised if a local professional photographer was already given an exclusive contract to sell photos. I doubt that vendors can just attend an event and sell something like hot dogs for instance without some kind of agreement.

yeah it just means you are old

Yeah it's hard to imagine having a bunch of nework cables strung over a gas station being acceptable. Maybe just doing a cluster of pumps would be a better goal.

Or an intern?

Clearly the way I interpreted the articles usage is valid. You refer to a composers work as the concrete result, not the effort. I guess maybe I have an inflated idea of what I do.

Does your job pay you to be productive or expend effort? I understand the physical definition of 'work', but when you go to work every day what are you paid for.

My work (ie what I get paid to do) is to program things, anything else is a loss. If people were paid based on your definition of work, then ditch diggers would be millionaires.

Of course I do. I don't consider memorizing the methods of a unfamiliar library to be programming.

IDE's don't do any of the work- they take care of the things aren't actually programming.

Agree one hundred percent, typing has been given short shrift. In 8th grade we had a whole year of typing on IBM Selectrics. In addition to touch typing we learned a lot about proper letter formats and things of that nature. I am sure they could throw in a lot of relevant stuff about word processing software, but they don't offer typing now- at least at my children's school.

I wouldn't necessarily say this is true- definitely recommend a Samsung or LG. The premium for those brands though is only maybe 20%, even more of a reason for Apple to not get involved.
