If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Good post.
I actually stumbled across that article a few days ago and have been thinking about it since.
I have have been reading about our western money system. This article mentions more than a few valid talking point and it should be given serious consideration. It should not be simply shrugged off as yet another conspiracy theory.

It's complete nonsense; bitcoin is a lousy currency. Its innate volatility alone ensures that. Besides, it's only a matter of time before its encryption is broken (I predict within ten years) which will instantly make it completely worthless.
My own gut feeling is that it was started as a proof of concept and made popular mostly by people needing to do illicit transactions.

While that is a feat in and of itself, it's even more impressive when you consider that it was only planned to last 90 Martian days, or sols. Ready for its 28 mile checkup
You were expecting, "It keeps going, and going, and going"?

We need to get the person that designed Opportunity to design earth-bound vehicles. Sure, we'd only be able to go 30 miles every 15 years, but hey...

Starting tomorrow, Microsoft will be shutting down the push notifications service on Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8.0 devices. "He's dead, Jim!"

This week, however, Microsoft finally published a more complete list of the limitations of Windows 10 on ARM. And that word—limitations—is interesting. This isn’t how Windows 10 on ARM differs from Windows 10 on x86-based systems. It’s how it’s more limited. Because it's 'leg' day?
I'm not even sure I know what that means, as I do not lift. Bro.

Codenamed as “Cohorts”, it will allow Microsoft to create a group of passionate people with a common area of expertise. This way the company can easily sort the feedback accordingly. Listening to people?

A shortage of GPUs, coupled with spiking prices, is causing problems for radio astronomers They lost money on it too?

Astronomers are new to the concept of how increased demand increases prices?

The fundamental problem is that the barrier between using a computer and programming a computer is getting higher. In my day, we had to program uphill through snowdrifts. In both directions!

Learning to program is not hard, it is expecting people to program in a fully defined environment with a graphical front end, libraries, etc. that makes it hard.
Would any of us think that the vehicle we learn to drive in will be an 18-wheeler or a tank? While some may, that it not the case for most. You start smaller, with something you can manage and then build up.
How about learning program with something simple? Learn the basics, then expand.
Provide them with an environment where they actually have to type in the code, not drag objects onto a screen.
I'd suggest the C64 Mini (whenever it comes out) because it will have a version of BASIC on it, but I'm afraid all people would use it for is a game machine.
And then.. they'd post in QA, "Show me how to write the game..." but not post what they've tried.

Agreed... and thank you for the release date.. I've been watching for it.

It has a non-functioning keyboard though, so you'll have to use a third party tool (like CBM prg Studio) and then 'upload' your program to it.
|
|

|

Can an standard USB keyboard be used? That was my initial impression.

I'd like to say "let's hope so" but I'm not sure.
