The procedure is just a variant of letting the programmer write a piece of code and then hook him/her up to a polygraph and interrogate her/him if the code has any bugs, and if it does, in which source file and line number....

Well, you have a choice of vi and emacs on Unix, with pico being for beginners. There are other editors, and learning their names is a good way to train your memory.

Agents do the spying.
Politicians do the lying.

Now if the amount of normal steller mattter is known and the galaxy has only half the mass estimated earlier, that should make the amount of unexplained 'dark' matter a whole lot smaller....

Say goodbye to our forests if this tech should ever become widespread.

Not everybody needs to understand computers. Almost nobody needs to 'use' a computer.

Some arts colleges have courses where you can study 'User eXperience Design'. No computing required - just bring some crayons and paper and study old paintings for inspiration.

A more fruitful question to ask is how many classes in informatics subjects a mathematics student should take to warrant a degree in Computer Science (instead of general or applied mathematics).

Informatics consists mostly of GÃdel's incompleteness theorem and Turings halting problem with a bit of propositional logic and lamda calculus thrown in; the rest of computer science is really electronics. A few experiments in electronics and programming may help students to visualise the theory a bit.

Any more than that would make it Megasoft.

Join the army for a job for the rest of your natural life.

The F-35 is an export product for other NATO countries and Australia, so it will make money flow into the U.S. and create some jobs there (gettng allied politicians to buy the JSF is not too hard).

Application programming hasn't changed that much, nor has systems programming. OK, so the web was broken from the start. The answer is to stay away from the web and build something that actually works.

Will Americans in 2045 elect a canine asTop Dog into the White House or do they choose a monkey? Will Artificial Intelligence prevail over Military Intelligence or Business Intelligence?

How come the hacker's jargon contains so many negative words for misbehaving hard- and software?

Visual Basic is nice for quickly making a prototype GUI.

Then you can use C to build a working program.
