What the heck are you talking about?! Privacy advocates for years have been screaming about Facebook and their stock remains just as strong.

The average person doesn't care about long term punishments when the short term gains are attractive. This is why I use Facebook. But I treat Facebook like a loud speaker, it's a great place to share my idiotic ideals but I try to avoid saying anything damaging/damning. (btw, this is what we call acceptance, I long ago welcomed our new Facebook overlords).

Let me clarify for OP's intent, "In order to succeed and receive your PhD (along with successfully defending your thesis), one must be of above average education". Intelligence is of little concern and to be honest I'd like to know what defines intelligence. The IQ tests show how good you are in ones culture and pattern recognition, emotional intelligence is another factor, than there is the drive required to actually use any intelligence, and finally education that allows adapting obtained knowledge to newly created ideas.

To b) depends on what you define as intelligence. If it's education, than yeah be it field education or classroom education, I think knowing wtf you are doing is important and can play a rather large role in career success.

I can't speak for either of those professions, but I stayed home for about 6months with my two toddlers (honestly easier than one because they play together), and trust me, it isn't easy. If you actually parent/clean/cook and don't just screw around watching tv and facebooking all day it is pretty constant physical and mental labor. By the end of my run, I was ready to get back to programming. On top of that it really is a thankless job with criticism when you are having a bad day. At least when you are having a bad day programming, you just open up slashdot and slack for a few hours. Do that when you are at home and the house is trashed. Then it becomes mentally debilitating because it's a job that is never done and if you are consistently doing it 24/7 it all goes to hell.

In regards to coal miner or roofer, again I can't speak to those professions, I can say as a person who worked in construction for 5 years during school, I'd rather be doing that then chasing kids around (if only it was just that).

Oh and nap time is the time to get shit done, it aint rest time. There are no breaks. And when you are the SAHP your the primary care giver and the other person disconnects so instead of working 40hours a week like your spouse you work essentially 7 16hour days.

Why does my computer keep searching using Yahoo! I must have a virus!
That's just Java... I'll be over shortly to reset it for you and uninstall Java. -_-

Maybe it's because I use the JDK or something but I have _never, ever_ had an issue with updating java. Just download, install to a new directory, go through and update all the old reference paths (if not using JAVA_HOME/JDK_HOME individually), reboot the computer, hop on one foot and pray to, previously Ra, now The Oracle, offer a virgin sacrifice, reinstall tomcat, and feed a mountain lion. I mean how hard is that?!

On the real note though, if I'm just updating for a new update version (which I very rarely do as what's released in say JDK 1.6u18 and JDK 1.6u19 is so rarely needed to be done, then again 1.6u17->1.6u18 was a bit of a doozy so it just depends) I can usually just run the installer without issue. If I do a major revision like hell if you think I'm even going to try to update the old folder unless I uninstall it first.

BS this is insightful.

This stated that it's an algorithm that parses so "let's throw a bunch of engineers on this to add code (for an edge case) (also don't forget to add time for research regarding where and design for the best way to add this edge case), code review, rebuild it, redeploy it to test, test it, pass it back to the developer for a damned edge case that he fat fingered, code review, rebuild it, redeploy it to test, test it, pass it, deploy it to production, maybe production down time, contact the engineer to propagate direct changes to the database through out the environments, test it to make sure it doesn't fuck anything up". The cost in man hours to add an edge case are a lot more than you think in a production environment. The algorithm may or may not need to be re-evaluated. Google has made that determination. There really is no right answer so Google is offering to assist with making updates to the marketing but has no obligation to.

This isn't 1997 anymore, you don't _ever_ just go into production database and make changes.

What about javascript guyz, it can do everything!

Joking aside, I would like to third using Qt but I would look into it's smart pointers and garbage collector to make sure it won't interfere with what you are planning. Probably a pointless point to bring up but it never hurts to be as educated as possible.

They'd never be so bold as to add tracking to duck duck go! But for performance and "other stuff" they will be adding analytics.

But you aren't supposed to watch porn at the library! Something about modesty laws, damn you big government!

Shouldn't it just be +-infinity? (Except maybe with the +- char)

Don't look in the box!

First of all, this should be +5 informative. However I do have a bone to pick.

What is so hard about making a wrapper sdk for 360 to xbox one? So that it's simply "recompile & redeploy"? I know I'm just a shitty java dev but most frameworks that are built if they aren't backwards compatible then those frameworks die due to being considered unstable (or simply never get updated due to costs).

Who ever said life was fair?

Per serving... they still contain trans fats. (There is less than .5g of trans fats per tbsp (and it's just shy), it still contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil).
