"participants were also asked to rate how religious they were."

If this was the exact wording of the question, I think they should have instead asked people to rate to what extent they believe in a soul. It's not very fashionable (especially in NY) to describe oneself as 'religious', but a great many people who will tell you 'I'm not religious' still believe in souls, heaven, angels, etc.
Cool, I had a similar idea a while back, http://lightsalad.com it never took off, and I abandoned the project.
Good luck

It's certainly an involved and interesting service they're providing there, but it's still not a platform. You aren't writing software that runs on top of their software, you're connecting to their software with your own software. Those are two different things.

Windows is a platform.

Heroku is a platform.

Facebook is a platform (barely).

Android is a platform.

These are things you write software for that sits on top of their existing stack. Something providing webservices, no matter how many there are or how much business they generate, is not a platform.

The lawyers/MBAs and doctors will be disrupted. This is already happening... Then they will be on the streets. all the low level jobs in Backoffice and law is getting outsourced. So if u r getting into law... u should actually be capable of creating value. Just look at all those industries that Apple Amazon etc are disrupting... No Newspaper also means the news paper does not need expensive lawyers, MBAs etc. Of course you could say Apple,Amazon,Google etc. will need the lawyers MBAs etc. But these few players need far less external help and glue coz they have captured most of the supply chain.

Imagine a device where u put a drop of blood/urine etc and out pops a diagnosis. Imagine a pharma company in a box which synthesizes a medicine on demand using basic raw materials. Then there are diagnostic solutions like IBMs Watson...

Education and healthcare will take much longer than Print/Retail/Music/Advertising/Communications to get disrupted... When these get disrupted, they will hurt more than they needed to coz of enjoying the protectionism.

There will always be demand for Good Doctors/Teachers/Programmers/Lawyers/MBAs... But those whose existence depends solely depends on protectionism or monopolies are going to see their jobs disrupted.
Yeah I'm not saying that it's all that bad, and I know you guys have it worst but still ... it's no paradise :)

How realnetworks is destroying the life of my colleague [in dutch]
A colleague was sued by RealNetwork for linking to alternative Realplayer software on his website. A really sad and frightening story. The article is in Dutch, but let's hope it will be international news soon.
Perhaps it's not a case of people really believing that dead people have more cognitive abilities than the "living". This again is one of those tricky morality/judgement issues which is far beyond the scope of this simple survey.
Perhaps the cognition rating was more in a social context. Death, is a very critical part of live. It's almost a rite of passage in some ways. After death, you leave behind your legacy. If you're a leader, a successor might pick up the torch and rally the troops in your memory, so in that sense, a dead person's memory/personality may be more "alive" than one in a persistent vegetative state.
Case and point, Ariel Sharon. (I mean no offense to him) Had he passed on, it may even have energized his party/cause etc. Instead, being in a coma has actually been worse for him. It's hard to inspire others in the "memory of" when that person is still breathing. Even worse, when someone comes around, their cause, work etc may no longer be relevant if it's after a very prolonged period of time.
I think the article oversimplifies the issue. Chalking it up to "religious" and trying to correlate that with people thoughts seem rather random. Perhaps "religious" people may be thinking more from a societal context? Nevertheless, if this is a serious effort, I hope they have follow up articles with more data that really helps identify this. It's not just an interesting topic in that it defines death, but it reveals more about the inner workings of the more complex parts of our cognitive system and how we develop our "values" (no pun intended).

SSDs don't benefit from data being sequentially aligned. Random access is just as fast. Also, you should minimize the write access to the disk whenever possible.
It might help to have a multi-dimensional system in which karma is measured by (k1, k2, k3, ..., kn). Let the reader specify thresholds for each, as they see fit. For example, k1 could relate to humor, k2 to historical insight, etc. If you're in the mood for a laugh, you'd increase your k1 weighting as you view the system. As for measurement, this could be partly by the votes of others who have high karma in the category.

Not that this matters much. I think people just stop reading various websites when they judge the site, overall, to be boring or useless. For example, if people find stackoverflow to be more informative than (insert name here) then stackoverflow "wins". Whatever winning means.

To echo one of the reader comments, perhaps this says more about the capabilities of the living than about those of the dead.
"In another, he died. In the third, his entire brain was destroyed except for one part that kept him breathing."

Maybe the choice of words used is significant. On popular tv there are now shows featuring people who had "technically" died but were later brought back from the dead. When something is destroyed, however, it is gone.

The choice given to interviewees reminds me, for some reason, of the childhood riddle, 'Would you rather be nearly drowned or nearly saved?'

To be fair, not every programmer faces "Oh noes I will lose a cat picture" as their maximum possible downside when coding.

I worked in a town where programming errors could easily causes crashes. There was talk of that actually happening once, although on investigation that probably wasn't actually true. When I say "crashes", the hardware at issue would routinely way several tons and be moving at 60+ miles an hour.

Show me the doctor who never uses software to do their jobs.
One major flaw with comparing programmers to doctors and lawyers is that there's no acknowledgement of liability. It is far more often the case that a lousy lawyer or doctor puts lives at risk than it is a lousy programmer does, and liability is one of the most justified determinants for compensation.
Similar bug:

int i = 10;
int *p = &i;

int j = 100/i; // j==10 right? right

int k = 100/*p; // k==10 right?

That last line doesn't compile.
Supply and demand, can't really say much else. That's usually the biggest driver for wages and something you have neglected to recognise.
Auto-queueing is not an no-brainer. While it is easy to assess which operations will contend with each other on local drives as soon as you start interacting with the network it gets far more fluffy as the storage arrangement is abstracted away from where the local OS can detect it.

Even for local operations automatically queueing operations could be sub-optimal. If copying chunks for small files from two spinning-disk-and-moving-heads drives to an SSD basic queuing algorithms would perform one copy after the other but the SSD is probably more than capable of keeping up with both at the same time. So you are going to need a UI control to override the default queuing.

BTW: If you need auto-queuing and other tweaks in this area for current Windows variants, I've been using the free (not Free) version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teracopy for some time and have found it to be useful and reliable.

So the short answer is: If you don't want to use your real name on their thing that requires real names, you don't have to use their thing that requires real names. And you can back out of it in such a way that the rest of your Google universe is unaffected.

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

Do a lot of reading and work on projects which stretch you. This doesn't depend on whether you have a CS degree - the field is fairly equal-opportunity that way.

Convert Each Worksheet of an Excel File to a Different PDF File 
This technical tip shows how use Aspose.Cells for converting XLS files (that contain images, charts etc.) to PDF documents. Aspose.Cells for .NET can work independently to convert a spreadsheet to Pdf document and you do not need to use Aspose.Pdf for .NET for the conversion any longer. If you need to save each worksheet in your template Excel file to generate different pdf files. This can be achieved easily. You may try to hide sheets in the file and make one sheet visible at a time based on which you would render PDFs.
The de-facto rule is 'your real name' since they ask for government ID in case your profile gets flagged: "Please select a clear, readable copy of your valid driver's license, national ID card, or other photo ID. Our team will not take action if you send a photo of anything other than your ID card." (from https://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?conta... ).
The writing to variables in outer scopes is what I meant by a lack of actual name-binding, due to the way Python does assignments; it seems I expressed that poorly. Here's a better attempt. The top poster's example simply doesn't work in Python:

>>> i = 0
>>> def inc():
... i += 1
...
>>> print i
0
>>> inc()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 2, in inc
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'i' referenced before assignment

So variables are name-bound in the sense that you can read from their original name and reference but you can't assign in normal ways. (Python has closures, which I said, just not typical closures that other languages might have.) Leading to the pattern of wrapping an array or dict or class around the thing you're interested in.

>>> i_wrapped = [0]
>>> def inc():
... i_wrapped[0] += 1
...
>>> print i_wrapped[0]
0
>>> inc()
>>> print i_wrapped[0]
1

One could argue that one shouldn't really have such mutable state inside a closure of the enclosed items, which I do, but a person expecting to (set!) or the like is going to be surprised.

Edit: I guess it should be said that Python 3 has the 'nonlocal' keyword, and Python 2 has the 'global' keyword for global cases, which allows for expected behavior. So the functionality is still there, but still needs an extra statement.

>>> i = 0
>>> def out():
... i = 0
... def inc():
... nonlocal i
... i += 1
... print(i)
... inc()
... print(i)
...
>>> print(i)
0
>>> out()
0
1
>>> print(i)
0

And this is how crap code comes to be.
First, find total number of digits of the 3 999 999 999 smallest integers.

Let's assume 0 doesn't count. The first 9 numbers have 1 digit each. The next 90 numbers have 2 digits each. The next 900 have 3, etcetera. That's 38 888 888 889 digits. Assume one byte per digit. Add a delimiter between every two numbers, plus one delimiter between the 3 999 999 999th and 4 000 000 000th number. That gives us 42 888 888 888 bytes.

Subtract that number from the total file size to get the number of digits in the final number. Say the file is 40 GiB. 40 GiB is 42 949 672 960 bytes. That leaves 60 784 072 bytes (or digits) for the 4 000 000 000th number.

Add 1 to that number to make sure it's bigger than any of the numbers that can possibly be in the file. Now construct a number of 60 784 073 digits by whatever method you wish.
Yes, in terms of absolutes this is right: You can avoid it (they are not forcing it down your throat to use other services) and even can get out again.

Still, it's not perfectly reasonable for a number of people to insist on the real name in the first place. Is one potential answer 'Don't use it then'? Sure. Is that satisfying? No.

No, that's crap.

As lots of people have proven already, this doesn't work. There were suspensions of people that went by their 'commonly used name'. Lots of people still cannot use their 'commonly used name' because Google likes to play the 'I don't believe that you provide a common name for you. Prove it!' card.

'Commonly known' is totally undefined and the process to 'verify' this fact (why? why?) is undefined as well. So the whole rule is - bull..

As someone else said it: It's really just a 'give us the name on your passport' rule, with exceptions for celebrities and some very vocal/prominent/supported few.

I'm really disappointed in myself for not taking advantage of watching him code. Seeing the source code is one thing, but it's another to watch someone work. I learned a lot from pair-programming with others, so I can't imagine why I didn't see the utility in this.

However, it has inspired me to dissect his code and learn from it, and hopefully be ready to submit my own entry in the next one. I imagine I'll need to put a lot of practice in before then so I can be ready to code an entire game in 48 hours.

Exactly. Even in this thread, it is appalling how quickly people reach for the "but look at Google!" argument.

Guys, Google is a top paid company in a top paid part of one of the richest countries in the world! Stop throwing around 6-figure salaries (in US dollars, no less).

I can attest to the fact that in Europe, programmers have respect on the level of assembly line workers. By Europe I mean countries from UK to Belgium to Czech to Romania. It's an ok job, you get paid some money, or even good money if you're skilled and know the right people. But your parents would much prefer you picked a respectable profession, like a doctor or a lawyer.

The reason I see for this is that IT is the wild-wild-west free market at the moment. That's why it's so successful, disruptive, productive and generally awesome. And why it scares parents. But it's also filled with wide-eyed, passionate kids who were so busy fighting each other and comparing e-penises that they didn't even notice when the old hands commoditized them. Remember, revolutions eat their own children.

Still, I am very much against introducing unions and regulations to artificially limit the market. The last paragraph of the original post is spot-on. The only way to gain respect is not to cry for it, but to realize your value and hold your head high. Sadly, programmers as a community seem to have already lost that battle.

Let's be honest here. It's hard to define respect, but an overwhelming majority of parents would rather have their daughter marry a lawyer or a doctor, than a programmer. That right there gives you a strong indicator of society's take on the issue. I'm not arguing that programmers get no respect (they do pretty well among non-prestigious trades). I'm arguing that programmers are not perceived as belonging to the same professional elite that lawyers and doctors belong to.
This is pretty bad. Much of the time, your page (which the user clicked on in Google, for instance) won't be near the top of DDG at all.

It also takes an unreasonable amount of time for DDG to load results, compared to whatever site the user was using.
