Yup. On the money. HP Stream is my next laptop as well. Any serious work needs a desktop in my experience. You could certainly get by on a Macbook Retina, but I wouldn't want to have to unless I traveled for work. Tablet that lets you install standard programs and has a keyboard is basically what I think the market wants. Chromebook almost hit the mark, but not quite there.. a little too Google-oriented with their services push for most people's taste.

I almost always vote for the Green Party, independents and anyone but the D's and R's. To vote for one of the two main parties I need to know who they are before I cast the vote and feel they're something worthwhile... or I'll just pick whoever else is on the ballot. Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul would come to mind to being from the mainstream parties that I would cast a ballot for, not that I agree with the latter's ideas in all cases.. but either of them would shake things up.

If you've successfully avoided anything except for C, it doesn't sound like you're too ambitious to pickup much new. I can't say I blame you. I'd skip both ObjC and Swift.

I don't see you actually learning 3 new languages and 3 new frameworks if you've stuck with C and avoided nearly everything in the past 30 years. Look into Xamarin (C#) or Cordova (JS), depending if you need more native-level performance or can get by on a webapp.

My stance is less to avoid violence, just to teach that violence is never an answer outside of self-defense. You can teach this though without avoiding everything violent.

The absolute worst case-scenario though, are the modern wargames. That's the only genre I personally refuse to take part in (I'm in my 30's), and also for my children. It's DoD brainwash, who funds and aids games who paint the US military in a positive light. It's war propaganda, no way around it. It's not a hypothetical goal for the DoD. It's purposefully meant to get you to actually pickup a gun and go kill your fellow man, in the name of the flag.

As long as this also have a simultaneous effort to promote opportunity for whites in the NBA, then I'm all for it.

Also, I like the cut of his anti-H1B jib. But as long as we're identifying areas where the white community is under served as well. I'd recommend starting with the NBA.
It's not a lack of talent, it's a lack of opportunity.

I'm 32, and wore glasses since around 9 years old. What pushed me to get Lasik 6 years ago was that one day my eyes simply did not tolerate contact lenses of any type in my eye anymore. I probably would've never gotten it had that not happened.

That said, since I did it, the feeling is amazing to wake up and see perfectly. Also, the benefits of being able to work outside no matter what. On the hottest days of summer, I had issues with my contacts. Looking back, had I known what this was going to be like, I would've done it even without the issue I came into with my contacts. Like you, I probably couldn't have been easily convinced. If the choice was between glasses vs Lasik it is an absolute no-brainer though.

Outside of my education, it's the best investment I've ever made.

Unfortunately, stepping in the realm of irrationality is not worth that.

Once you willingly open your mind to irrational thought, you're introducing possibilities much worse than drinking and smoking.

No. That's exactly the problem. These things are only used by a 'tiny percentage'. It needs to be the majority if we're going to succeed as a society. I never have and never will support Apple tablets and Google terminals in an educational environment.

It really can't be if you follow the convention of using spaces. But any incorrectly indented code to me is considered 'wrong', with or without whitespace delimiting. May as well use it.

If you want something used as a web language + more, I think the obvious go-to is Python. I'd personally pick that over PHP, Ruby, Perl etc, IMO it just has longer legs than anything else.

While that's true for revenue, the difference in profits between AMD and NV are very close.

So good they've been killing their own cards for years now.

This has never happened once to AMD cards, because they're more conservative with their optimizations. NV isn't even the price/performance leader and rarely is. So you get to spend more, and they optimize the crap out of your drivers and card until they break it.
They're almost averaging once a year in killing cards. No thanks. While both have bugs, I prefer AMD's superior driver support that doesn't kill your card.

We need more whites/asians (and latinos, which are typically white and asian) in the NBA! I'm down with this hiring practice discrimination against the best-candidate-for-the-job, when the NBA starts blocking the best black athletes for whites and asians.

That's not true, I work in the (relevant) industry to this topic. Intel will phase out PCIE.

Yes we do this is an issue of STATES' RIGHTS!!
