We had annual inspections here in Florida in the 70s and maybe even the early 80s. They checked function of all lights, turn signals, wipers, and braking system (ie, accelerate hard until this line then slam on brakes). Also did a visual on tires. Took about 10 minutes, and honestly anything that can't pass that kind of test really shouldn't be on the road.
Screw this pixel stuff... 80 colums and 25 rows. Anything more is a waste.
So you don't think that having a known character assist wtih something educational is good? If my kids can learn the 50 states and their capitals with the assitance of the Warner brothers (and their sister Dot), why should I complain that a cartoon franchise character is doing the teaching?

Granted, with the Frozen tie in it is much more appealing to my 4 year old than my 14 year old daughter, Now to get my 10 year old son involved, you'll need to fall back to Lego... or Star Wars. Or Lego Star Wars.
"Lets try this again. Have you ever been employed and paid for work in this field?"
Why is a pay check important? Having a portfolio of work, be it class projects, contributions to an open source project, perhaps having a patent granted, etc. should count just as much as earning a pay check for a few years working as an assistant code monkey to the junior developer of some corporate sub-project.
There is also a guy in the Daytona area that was making adapters to let you put a Harley engine in any vehicle wiht teh 200mm Porsche/VW clutch (so 356B or C/SC, 912 - but not hte E from '76, 914, VW bug or bus made after '65). And there is an outfit in Tampa that has electric conversions for same that run about $9k.
Much like bandwidth, trains have that pesky "last mile" issue to deal with...
SNI is now supported by all the major players (IE was the last hold out) but... I'm pretty sure the current free cert providers don't support it.
Here at the "former community college" I work for (we offer a few BAS degrees, so we legally can't be a CC anymore) the Linux admin courses I teach do minimal programming - admin 1 covers shell scripting, admin 2 has a little SQL for managing virtual email users on a postfix system.
Our programming track covers C++, C#, Objective C, Java, and PHP+MySQL, both iOS and Android development, as well as stand alone DB management wtih MySQL, HTML with CSS, and JavaScript.
By contrast, the large state university in town (hint - they just fired their football coach) that has a Comp Sci/Engineering program teaches one language (Java) for one class for one semester.
MindTree recently moved ot the area, thinking they'd be able to hire these software engineers.... who as it turns out really don't know how to crank out the code to create useful stuff. Prove algorithms and theories, sure, but not create usable applications. Guess which school they are hiring graduates and near graduates from?
Or AMD/Cyrus/etc did wtih the x86 instruction set. Or what Intel did with teh amd64 instruction set?
You create what amounts to a function, accessed either by including a library/header/whatever, or perhaps by passing a bunch of particular GET/POST/PUT arguments to a particular URL structure on a webserver. You know if you ask item foo to process bar you will get back fee in some agreed on form. You then make this public knowledge, or at least known to your customers and whoever reads your publicly available documentation. This shouldn't be protected. Anyone should be able to make an item called foo that when asked to process bar will return fee in a specified format.
Now, what happens internally when foo is running and doing its thing can be protected, and should be.
Depends on where in Florida. You realize it is a big state...
Here in N Florida (Gainesville) we've had snow as many times as hurricane hits in my life time.
Yup - ya can't grep a dead tree.
But in the mid-late 90s, everyone was pretty much on dialup, unless they were at a college in a dorm, etc. I had a high speed connection thru work/school but then CD burners were several hundred dollars each. For me at the time, the best way to get a new distribution for install was to buy the book that came wtih the CD. The various Unleashed books, etc.
Funny, every copy of Red Hat and Slackware I bought in the late '90s ('97 thru '99) came with a nice book/manual. Often times, worth the price of just the book/manual, install and source CDs were just gravy.
Yes. But at the same time, some apartment complexes do have their own cable tv, internet, etc. that is included in the rent, at least here in a college town. As do several of the "old folks not quite nursing home apartment dwelling" places around here.
So yeah, if everyone in the building is gonna get it, makes sense to just make it part of the building.
