Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

The brace initializer syntax is the biggest structural improvement. Auto is fine but a skilled programmers needs to understand iterator types. C++ is very complex, and whole swaths of the language can be safely ignored. Now, if we could only decide which ones... Objective-C blows.

Thrilling. All so in 2 years we can do the same amount of nothing up there with the Russian Mafia as we are doing today. Our space program sucks, starting with the $3 billion the US sets alight annually to keep this white elephant traveling nowhere.

Hope you fkin a$$holes who voted for Obama are getting what you wanted.

In the last 12,000 years sea level has risen nearly 10m. That warming has led to the ascent of man. Life has reached its greatest diversity in geological periods of warming. More warming is a good thing.

but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations

Then why don't you, and save us the mindless speculation? Can't you mentally masturbate in private for a few more days?

Canada is and will be US largest supplier or crude oil. Even our loathsome and corrupt government thinks so. There is no reason to offend a friendly and reliable supplier, which is what that cocksucking muslim has done.

Let's see. Pay technology companies a small fee to for every transaction, and allow them to spy on you, tracking your every spending habit and movement. Or just pay cash. Hmm.

We'll deal with it. Ultimately, the dismemberment of Russia by the United States.

Really exciting space program, sharing a space station with Russian pigs who dismember a European state as we speak. Putin needs to hang from a meat hook.

We are certainly mid to late in this economic cycle. Fed policy has helped to inflate the price of equities due to low interest rates. The market is pretty fully valued, so beware. I am holding and paying attention to dividend yield. Uber, Facebook, Tesla. They are all grossly overvalued. I like stocks other people hate. Big oil, Walmart, Altria, Monsanto.

As an investor all I ask for is profits, profits, profits! What to you embittered socialists offer? A society of the embittered indolent huddling in the cold and dim waiting for their next gubment check?

Cuts to the core of the major problem I have with most tech interviews.

If I were Mr. Musk, I wouldn't get too distracted. Tesla reported a miserable quarter. They managed to sell a paltry 123 cars in China! Toyota and BMW are hot on his heels heels. Any more reports like that and sentiment will drain from Tesla as his most argent fanbois lose faith.

I'm sorry smoking is deadly, but my Altria stock is doing well, so...

Sure. Making a good cell phone qualifies you to build a car. Apple and Google need to be careful. There investments get wackier by the day.
