True, but I also believe most under/graduate programs aren't exactly getting you ready for the job market. Especially in computer related jobs, required skills may not be the ones being taught.

NOT A HOLOGRAM!

So, how is Stevia ("naturally sweet leaf") categorized as artificial?

So, what's the range, fully charged and full tank of gas?

Last chart doesn't seem log scale.

Angra is for 'rich' people. Much cleaner. The thing is Rio is locked by the sea against the mountains, so there's no other way for sewage to go but down. In Chicago they reversed the flow of the Chicago river, so all that crap wouldn't go to Lake Michigan anymore. Amazing feat, and much more critical, since drinking…

As a carioca (Brazilian from Rio) currently living in Chicago, let me say while I never felt like swimming in lake Michigan, I wish the windy city had won the bid. Brazil has many other cities that could host the aquatic sports. They could have spread out the competition across the country like they did with the world…

In my teens I used to be chased by 'monsters', and at some point I'd notice it was a dream. Since I actually liked the thrill, I learned to keep my awareness of the dream low - otherwise I'd wake up instantly - and stretch it till I was about to get caught, when I'd start shaking my head to wake up. When I stopped…

First language I actually learned (at least I think I did) was FORTRAN. There was one book in our library, and I would write the exercise programs and compare with the solutions. Of course, there was no computer anywhere where I could test it for real.

Anyone remember having to bit-encode data in REM lines in order to save memory? To read it back you had to find the memory address of the video buffer I think, and move past it.

At least Star Trek had the time-travel excuse...

And spending hours finding the exact volume setting so you could read it back without errors.

One of my first jobs was as an 'operator' of a MP/M machine with 2 8" floppy drives. You'd place the interpreter disk in one, and a blank in the other one. Problem was, the disk would be read/only until you hit Control-C. If you tried to save the program you edited before doing so, it would crash on you and you'd lose…

Uh, basic was usually interpreted, not compiled.

My point is, depending on what they do, it won't be star wars anymore, just a Disney screw-up.

Doesn't count according to who? That's the whole point. So we should just ignore all this? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_…

I heard it's happening 30 years after last episode, and I believe at that point in time Chewbacca is already dead - but he's already cast. Already going against the 'canon' if that's the case. While I would still watch it, the hard-core fans who watch it over and over may be disgruntled.
