Re:Teaching Kids Java Programming
on Monday December 22, 2014 @03:40PM (#8785081)
We banned sending kids up chimnies, we banned sending them down into the mines, but we missed the gross evil of rotting their brains with java. Just two dollars a day can help rescue these kids from a life in eclipse or netbeans and show them a world outside. Donate today - some poor souls are already on their first proxyFactoryImplementation classes and need your help right now!

I tried to use Google's driverless car, but everytime I asked it to search for rival services, it kept driving me to their search and adsales offices. Was a bit weird. Like they told the car to prefer their services first! My eurotrash friends promised to investigate though, so that's nice.

Re:Is Homo Economicus a Psychopath?

I work in an investment bank. Here I see a lot of people with psychopathic tendencies, probably more than in other industries I have worked in, but, what worries we most, is the ones I don't spot. They are there, after all, finance offers them a refuge where their singular behaviour is rewarded.
