everyone's opinions on every subject are equal.

I rather believe democracy is the equality in rights. Not the assumption to equality of one's intellect or alignation of ideals with what is best. And a system to avoid domination by those who feel their ideals are superiour as the "stupid uneducated populus".

In a multi-party system you do end up, sortof, with a more colored government with different ideals in a representation of ideals. (Christian, Liberal, Environmentalists, Extreme Right, Socialist, Chauvenists, ...) representing or a history loyalty of ideals ("my father used to vote for...") or protest votes ("the larger party did not deliver") or actual informed votes ("these guys are the closest to my ideals").

Or are they asking the women what they see?

These women just say "pfffrrt I can seen all colours, even ultraviolet!"

To which the researchers tried to explain how that's unlikely and would try to run some tests..

As suddenly the women says "Is it me, or is it getting hot inhere ?" while there's some 70s funkmusic that comes from her bra, which is bulging...

As the scientist tries to remain his posture, and tries to convince the woman with all spectrum vision he needs to investigate her claims.. she replies "Investigate this.... doctor..." while she pushes her boobs in his face and scientists view is blurred and limited to only a few spectrums... While making up his results out of shame to write down his actual personal findings.

This is generally how women partake in research.

So now I can trace my date to see wether she ever did a porno ?

without properly anticipating the different feeling, it may throw a person off-balance.

Your mother was a woman who worried alot, wasn't she?

Well, Android is free, but they charge you a developer pass...

Of a few bucks.

XCode for IPhone development is free. But you need a developer license to publish which is a bit more expensive.

"Look, look! HTML5! Come visit our site! Please?"

Actually, around here the site *is* used alot in IT, management and enterpreneurship-circles.

Some leading (geeky and idealistic) companies trying to push HTML5 into the web and show it's importance have hosted their presentations on the website. They are understandably "proud" they have made the implementation themselves and are now using "the latest open technology".

In that way 1) it is relevant 2) interesting as it's pro-active for HTML5 on a high-traffic site 3) and a bit of slashvertisement

I think kung fu would be a combination of muscle memory and cognitive memory. So I imagine it's not as easy to simulate the firing synapses required for it.

Is there a neuroscientist here who can elaborate on this?

Why is it when you're looking for something and you give up, that the moment you sit down to tackle another task, you remember where the item was?

It's called threading. You request an information item and it will be delivered at another moment in time while your brain is searching for it.

If you're doing it in a main thread, you're blocking all other processes and are doing emotional system calls because it's not going fast enough. (you get frustrated, angry, or try to force to think faster, blocking you to do what for which you needed the information, ...)

This last is overloading your CPU and makes everything hang. (it's the analogy of windows search indexer running while you're hitting ctrl+alt+del to try to kill what's mysteriously hanging the system. But all your buttonpushing is making it more difficult for the system to handle the task and you're delaying it further)

Err, microfilm tech was likel around at that point, and these things were so famous that folks would have been queuing up to pay for the effort to scan and disseminate them. Other methods would have been around.

It wouldn't have been profitable for those who speculated about the content in various books.

Also, in that day and age, you always have the experts go in first, make their translation, study and interpretation and dumb it down for the general populus in bookform for them to understand. 50 years ago, information was created, distributed and consumed very differently.

These are the IT equivalents of a McJob and put you at the wrong end of a stressful firing range

These types of jobs will make your degree vaporware: there are large badges of these centres with people re-oriented in their carreers in a "2 week training program" because they "want to go into IT"

Besides it, it will give you a wrong image of the IT-industry, give you a sense of disillusioning and burn you out before you can built up some kind of carreer.

Avoid it if there are no alternatives.

• Step one:something cool and new you want to do
• Step two: convince someone to pay you to do it (or hire someone to do it)
• Step three: Do it and justify why you do it (by reports, metrics, meetings and seminars)
• Step four: do it for a while but realize obvious flaws
• Step five: Try to meet expectations made in two and three.
• Step Six: find something else, or train someone else to do that what was cool and seemed a good idea but now has been breaking your balls.
• Step seven: once nobody wants to do or pay to do anymore, it will cease to exist as justifyable service OR claim expertise and keep doing three and five
• Step eight: next justifiable activity which gets you money

We loved to play with HTML and JavaScript, but then it didn't need to be profitable and everything was sortof a proof of concept or an vague idea. Implementations get progressively more complex and "creative".

Bring in a clean, well designed language to web development

What generation of programmers do you belong to? For the C, C++, .NET and even Java programmers JavaScript is very intuitive.

TOo complex? Get on the JQuery band. Still too complex? well, sorry buddy but ...

What exactly is a "clean well designed language" ? Is it more like one you know well ? And which one would that be?
