Not even slightly. It has assignment, it has things with defined execution order that have side effects. There are declarative query languages, but SQL is not one of them.
That can't be - I use @Declare statements in my T-SQL code all the time!!!
You can't run a serious website on Wordpress AND use a cheap host. Cheap hosts do not install the necessary opcode caches that are required to make the site not run slow and load-spike the server (Dreamhost will just nuke your site if it overloads... because they don't install any php opcode cache.)
That's not necessarily true (depending on how you define "cheap" hosting services). You may have to shop around a bit, but I've found that most commodity hosting services support at least Zend opcache, or they can support php 5.5, which includes opcache out of the box.
Found that quote, but also found this from the Q&A bit afterwards:

"What will happen after the first year of free updates for W7/W8?"

Hmm, it's a (admittedly small) jump to go from that to subscriptions though..
They have wanted to do it for ages now
Where is this? I can't find it on the couple of Ars articles and none of the other sites have said such a thing..
::blink:: wait, what? Something inside me wants to know how you interpret Art1, Sect8, Clause12...just for giggles.
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
WTF does that have to do with Obamacare?
TARP actually made a profit because in exchange for cash it got shares of the companies it was bailing out. It then sold those shares back for more than the cash it gave out. That plus the companies not going out of business most folks would call a success, not a fuckup.
It's a "success" if you love the businesses that got TARP money, but a massive failure if you don't. Most businesses that fuckup on such a massive scale end up bankrupt, with assets going up for fire sale prices to people that did NOT fuckup. The fact that most of those businesses also fucked over a lot of OTHER people before getting their massive capital infusion (which they parleyed into even greater profits).
There is really no place here for the sophomoric name calling.
You must be new here...
I agree that high-skill coding is out of reach for someone who only took a few programming courses in community college. However, there is plenty of low-skill coding to be done out in the world as well. Nearly any web page you visit could be written by a community college student with a few HTML, CSS, and Javascript courses.
I'd recommend staying away from those web pages if I were you. It'll be used as a malware distribution center as soon as it shows up on the results of some script kiddie's vulnerability scanner.
You're making the mistake of believing this is an actual plan, not just a bunch of feel good speechmaking and propaganda.
Yes, it's a plan to fix education. It hasn't worked in the public schools, which just keep getting worse, so they're basically going to add 2 more years of grade school to your "free" education, and hope that's enough.
I think all of them are true, but not everyone will agree.
True. (Not everyone will agree).
"Medical expenses are the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in America"
This is actually false, and if you pay close attention to the details of the study, you'll see it's not even at the top of the #1 reason for filing bankruptcy. FactCheck has some discussion of the issue, citing other studies and how the Hardvard one lumped "medical bills" along with other issues, including job loss.
"The US constitution prohibits establishment of religion by congress"
This certainly true on its face, but could be construed as false by omission, and implies less restrictions on Federal laws than the Constitution actually provides. The relevant text is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" - so not only can they not establish a religion, they cannot make law "respecting" any religious establishment, that is, any organized church cannot be given any special dispensation at all, and, further, any religious practice cannot be interfered with. Of course, Congress has violated that one many times, probably most famously by such things as banning peyote from Native American's traditional religious practices. Ironically, the First Amendment's admonition was intended to protect people that designed their own religious practices outside of the established religions - a highly valued right with origins Colonial America's protestant value system. Yet the Native American Church was established in order to petition for protection of the use of peyote by its members. So in practice, recognizing the use of peyote by members of established religion, but not by individuals, is the opposite of the original purpose.
In Chattanooga, for example, the municipality originally charged $350 / month. When asked how they determined that rate, the chairman replied "because we can". No market studies, no break-even analysis, just screw over the citizens "because we can".
YOU LIE! Initially Chattanooga were charged $50 for 50Mbit connection (it's $59 for 100Mbit now) to cover the price of the rollout. $350 was only charged for the premium 1G package because there literally were no precedents of 1G rollout in the US and they couldn't price it.
You're factually mistaken about "in most parts". The fact is, by far the majority of Americans live in areas with franchise laws barring competition, by a large margin.
Nope. Not true. Check the FCC's report.
I'm not sure why you're struggling so hard to convince yourself you have to choose between the crap you have now and the kind of crap decisions we could expect from your lovely city council.
I'd go with the decision to build a municipally-owned infrastructure and then rent it to any ISP that would want to provide service. You can have a crappy 1Mbit connection with mandatory anal rape from your friendly nice multinational corporation.
With Snappy there is also a division of responsibilities for updating that can also help protect IoT devices and users.
"So we could deliver an update for a Heartbleed or Shellshock vulnerability, completely independently of the lawnmower control app that would come from the lawnmower company," Shuttleworth said.
You STILL haven't explained to me why you think it should be illegal for a company with low prices and high customer satisfaction ratings to come give you the same great service my neighbors and I enjoy.
You are definitely paid to be deliberately obtuse. I have NO OBJECTION at all to multiple ISPs providing a competitive high-class service. It's great when they are available. Yet in most parts of the country the situation is quite different, and it doesn't actually matter if there are ordnances forbidding cities to build municipal networks or franchise agreements. Somehow the US gets only the invisible middle finger of the market.
So far the best way forward is to build municipal fiber networks and then provide RAND access to commercial ISPs to provide services on top of the municipal fiber. Do you have any objections to that?
