I agree that there should definitely be consolidation
Personally, I like Java because there is a set of useful libraries (threads, tcp/ip, etc) that you can rely on being there
As opposed to C/C++, where even POSIX compliant libraries for each are not necessarily compatible. Wasting developer / designer time on evaluating utility library instead of business logic

1. Intel raises chip prices 20% across the board, citing increased operating costs

2. In 3 months, Intel record revenue. Though lower margins to pay fine

3. In 6 months, Intel record record margins as prices are not lowered

4. In 12 months, Intel fined again.

5. goto 1

I think that the poster meant that vitamin PILLs don't grow on tree, which is technically correct. Ironically it misses that tree born fruits/fungi provide vitamins

At the end of the day. Having a meeting moderator that establishes a clear meeting agenda, prepare the necessary meeting fora, moves the meeting along and keep it on track is the key of the effective meeting. Otherwise, 40min meetings would just stretch into 1hr plus meetings that don't accomplish anything, just like regular 1 hr meetings

Yah, last time when I did that, Linus said the same thing and I said "April Fools! wouldn't it be funny if you actually ran that! haha! I would never produce crappy code...right... that's the ticket ... haha!"

This has been going on since the dot com days. Kids walk in asking (closer to expecting) about bonuses, cell phones, travel, and perks in general. There is never thought that such things have to be earned, more that they're owed that for showing up.

That aside, it is not true of every one I've interviewed. Still lots of well grounded kids out there. But there is always distance between school and reality. Like why everyone is not on latest version of every software package. Why your work PC is weaker than the one you got for yourself 2 years ago. Why the product you worked on thinking is the greatest thing since sliced bread hasn't taken over the world, etc

Although, has there ever been days when kids graduated with an we're not worthy attitude?

It's people!!!!!

The article link says top 25 errors....

I hope not, or it would be end of Rick-Rolling ;-;

I only have two words for you:
LEROY JEKINNNNNNNNS!!!!

When they mentioned theme, I was hoping that all the staff would cosplay as a WOW character or that the devoted fan would go in character. It was rather disappointing that neither was the case.

And as we all know, if you crush her hard enough, she'll turn into a diamond

I rather disagree. Kids at that age, even bright ones, tend to have short attention span. VB allows programmers to achieve lots of visual output more easily than most other languages. As kids grew up with visual paradigm, it is far more relateable than command line oriented languages like C, pascal, and assember.

I would prefer Java over VB, to teach idea of cross platform performance, while still having a few GUI APIs available from the standard Java SDK to enable them free visual expression.

Well, if both parties change perspectives and are able to control the other body's action, wouldn't it be effectively the same as mind swapping? So, we have half the equation, we just need remote control now.
