"People trafficking is a huge business with profits for organised crime of over $30billion." I am going to go out on a limb here and say that, if we have learned anything from the War on Drugs, then the solution to this problem is probably

"Far too often things break between releases and/or upgrades." I recently tried to upgrade my older 9.10 install to 10.4 LTS. I got a bunch of errors about x.org upon upgrade (I think maybe because I downloaded and installed Nvidia's Linux

"So basically, this is a compiler optimization implemented by having the programmer provide hints to the compiler." I'm not entirely sure that's correct. I think Larry Wall (being a linguist originally) designed it that way because he thou

Well in the end, the only thing that really matters is programmer productivity... and ultimately the proof is in the pudding I think. You're right in basically pointing out that if a new language can't communicate quantifiable productivity

I'd start with Javascript, because: a) It's fairly simple. b) Every computer that has a web browser has it. He would be able to run the programs with no additional software needed (including on the iPad). c) You can make simple games with

I wonder... how many programmers have been exposed to enough different problem domains and languages to really make an accurate judgement on what is "the best programming language", if any such thing even exists (which I doubt). Maybe the r

This is pretty exciting, seeing as how it's the first major UI rethink for Windows since Win95. I like the idea of simplification of the UI for the average mom and pop user. For them this will probably be a great fit with the large buttons

It's certainly possible I think, but what you're talking about is more-or-less asymmetric multiprocessing, which (according to Wikipedia at least) is generally more complicated to implement at a hardware level: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

"Applets run in their own area on the page and can't interact with the rest of the page like javascript does." You can actually call methods in a Java applet from Javascript and vice-versa. It just doesn't seem to be used very much: htt

Right. Time/space dilation effectively makes the trip shorter for the person traveling near c. Here's a really mind-blowing thing: If you were able to accelerate at a fairly reasonable rate indefinitely - say - using an interstellar ramjet

But the main reason it's not as clean is because it has had to maintain backwards compatibility with C, which is 40 years old now. Ironically, had C++ been 'cleaner' and not as backwards compatible with C from the outset, then we probably w

Well here's one way I think would work, but it's not ideal and still not 100% foolproof: A) Keep a running counter between the server and client. B) If, at any point, there are two active sessions both associated with the same user login, d

This seems to be a common misconception, but it's still very much a part of the corporate and business landscape. Do some keyword searches on a job search engine - you'll see what I mean...

I also have a VIC-20, although I bought mine from a thrift store maybe 4 years ago or so. The Commodore RF modulator that came with it was no good either, but I replaced the electrolytic capacitor inside with a new one and it seems to work
