The latent hypocrisy from the Lords where homosexuality/bisexuality throughout the ages was rampant to turn away from this man's genetic makeup and therefore cite they can't undo a wrong now truly goes to the real cause--Alan flaunted his sexuality and forced their hands. It was better for whispers and to hold high station with leverage over your fellow Trinity alumni who had their young men trists than to go out and live that life style. The number of famous authors who alluded to bisexual tendencies in their writings is quite numerous. I suppose they just chose to codeify it instead of throwing it in the establishment's face and thus that protected them from being convicted of what we all [at least most of us heterosexuals agree upon] is part of the distributed nature of human sexuality. Perhaps Turing didn't heed warnings from the power brokers and so they destroyed him in the process. I find it a disgrace that they cannot undo and pardon all the individuals whom they convicted back then. It would show a sign of evolution of the human spirit, but clearly these guys preferred the closeted approach to living.

There is this service called, ``lecture notes'' that my university sold on a per course basis freeing one up from wasting a single moment writing notes so you could listen to the professor. Extend this today to digital retrieval of notes in PDF format available by the Professor at his web site and guess what? They still produce similar, if not idential distribution curves when they took notes by hand versus not taking notes at all with their test scores. The biggest change needs to not be in how students interact in lectures but how curriculums adapt to the concepts of project grades versus test grades. You don't take tests in the real world. Your work is team oriented and the results are economically driven. Learning to work in teams and to actually thrive against other businesses should be taught at Universities so that practical application of theory gets ingrained into every student.

Says, who? You? They don't have the technical expertise to match Apple, period.

The tragedy is that she was a young girl in the prime of life and seeing her life taken too soon, not because she was labeled a Microsoft Certified recipient and thus labeled a child prodigy for doing so.

Mozart was composing single draft sonatas at an earlier age. What's your point?

``Can you imagine this in any other engineering discipline?''

It's not an Engineering Discipline, no matter how many universities label it and the industry entitles it. It's Computer Science for a reason. Engineering disciplines are founded in Laws of Science. There is a reason Bill Joy has wished Software Programming could become an Engineering Discipline [he cited Mechanical Engineering specifically]--he's tired of the amount of wasted energy that the Art brings. That same Art brings a lot of creativity, but with a lot of undisciplined results and crappy code.

Spare me. You wreak of a Stallman acolyte.

Leave the parent comment a 5 so everyone can see what a complete lunatic it is for being factually absurd.

Perhaps everyone is too stoned from Christmas but 28nm stamping is already approved with GlobalFoundries, TSMC and Samsung.

Google wants Manufacturers without having to invest in being a hardware giant. Sorry, but their contracts go much further than the public declarations you cite. Android is nothing without Samsung and HTC pumping out this crap.
