The good news is there are less and less...

NASA message is intended to be delivered to anybody, not only the /. geeks. While we (/. geeks) are used to numbers and proportions, a "small boulder" - while less accurate - is represented better by most people than 0.634124 meter.

Most countries would agree on the human responsibility in the global warming. The problem is 'agreeing this' means agreeing that the country has its share of responsibility and should do something about it. We are in a world where everyone (besides maybe Africa and a few others) wants to "enjoy" the economic developments as much as possible, and 'doing something about global warming' goes against that.

I was worried...

And only the French geeks... should have called it "FreeOffice"

I'm afraid everywhere is already mathematics... This is the difference between physics and mathematics: change the way our Universe works and physics vanish, mathematics (on which physics formula are based on) remain.

Indeed, Google is gonna win because it was built by mathematicians. Like Stephen King said "Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.".

Just have a look at the printf source code (actually vfprintf). If you don't understand it, that'll remind you your old maths classes ..

What are the implications?

superuser.com is too busy and /. comes to the rescue. Thanks /.

- First of all, you can charge your iPhone without having iTunes loaded/loading (see this).
- Then, many users don't have such problem: be sure you have the latest windows SP, and the latest iTunes.

Bravo! What's your (secret to get your stories published)??

You said it!

Basically agree with this. However, you were able to learn, among other things, Java, Spring, Hibernate... in a year, with no prior real programming experience. That's great. Nevertheless, experience plays an important role in programming, because there are some many different fields that are always linked in some way (eg, you learned Java and do not have to care about C pointers, memory allocation - however knowing how all of that works under the hood (ie like knowing C well) gives a huge advantage when it comes to create structures, guessing the complexity of algorithms etc... As a beginner you will reinvent the wheel a lot... and this is what usually do the young beginners - and that's good because at that age, one is eager to learn, to spend a lot of time on algorithm details etc... Will you?

Don't know about your background, but if by chance you have a degree in mathematics, or if you like (and succeed at) puzzles, riddles ... you get immediately an advantage over the majority of programmers (experienced or not). Most of programmers can produce a very bad code as soon as an algorithm that is a bit more complex than what's done during the daily routine is required - that represents maybe 1% of the programs, in size, but may weight 99% in terms of complexity, efficiency, maintainability etc...

Yeah, Let's Put Upper Cases Every Where.. :-)
