Ap cs is a joke. It's a programming test you hand write. If the person misreads your handwriting or is just wrong about their understanding of the language you get it wrong. And nobody is there to prove otherwise. Oh yeah, the test is 120 bucks to have what is clearly a non professional grade it. How do I know this? Because I knew every answer on the test, finished early, then got a 3. I had to argue for credit the intro to cs course I'm college, then complained that the data structures class was too easy and too slow. I then proceeded to graduate with a 3.65 gpa and have programmed better than almost everyone I've encountered.

When AP has transparency in their grading I'll take them more seriously. Until then, they are a sham company enjoying their lucrative monopoly in the education testing market.

You forgot your closing sarcasm tag. Nobody prefers Perl to Python unless they are a masochist.

Fresh out of the job market (and into a job) almost none of the interview questions had anything to do with what was in my resume. They should be seeing if I'm a liar but instead they want to know what I do in my free time or ask me new grad questions for which nothing similar has ever came up in my career...

And see how I think? I think differently than you do and solve problems my own way. Does that make me unqualified?

I put my resume on dice.com and got bombarded by phone calls for jobs the next day. In contrast, I've gotten very few responses for jobs that I applied. Apparently that is how job hunting works now. Publicly listed jobs get overwelmed so you need to get first dibs on a subset of the job market via a recruiter.

Law enforcement and the justice system needs an overhaul. Long delays for trials, a system where you must show up in person to defend trivial offenses or even ENTER YOUR PLEA, even if you don't live in the same state, one where your own state won't help defend you but they'll help arrest you for outstanding warrants or FTAs. That's a system where it can be more expensive to defend your innocence than to falsely admit guilt. One where you can call up a clerk and they literally won't give any assistance at all because "they aren't allowed to give legal advice". A system so complex and full of contradictions you need a degree to understand it, and even then a lot of it is up to interpretation. A system where laws are intentionally set against social norms (speed limit) or are ridiculously outdated with the only purpose to rob people for the purpose of filling coffers (speed cameras in a school zone near a high school).

The definition of highway robbery now means I got pulled over for doing something trivial that people violate on a daily basis (such as speeding when the flow of traffic is over the speed limit) and given a completely unfair and expensive ticket ($115 for 1 mph over the speed limit), rather than being robbed by actual criminals.

Stream = steam... Stupid swype...

The point is to standardize the system. For example, will the walking dead play on my sister's 4 year old laptop if I give it to her this christmas?

I had the privilege of trying to install stream from behind a hotel firewall/router. Still doesn't work. Would download at under 16 kb/sec and there is hundreds of megs to download. I seen to recall that this is because it only uses a single tcp connection when there is a firewall and basically steam wasn't designed with this in mind. Remember, steam is fundamentally a web browser and file downloader. I know a few games where the stream based server browser also is very spotty. Firewall/NAT issues are pretty common, so if valve is aiming for mainstream then they have so far failed miserably. You need system administrator privileges to get stream to work.

Why stop at 10? I can think of 21 points on my male body to poke the screen with.

Has half as much ram as my work laptop and twice as much as my cell phone. Since a lot of games already reach 2 gigs easily this again will be the wii u downfall when it comes to porting games across consoles.

With flash memory dirt cheap and hdd even cheaper I'd say I'm surprised they went skimpy on the storage except it's nintendo so I'm not surprised at all. With consoles as old as they are is it really that hard to imagine not having one concession?

They are the same thing. Lot of job titles are software development engineer so that they get applicants who call themselves one or the other.

Better question is what constitutes a senior engineer...

A fool and his money are soon parted. 160k salary but no relocation package?

My hotmail password was truncated to 16 chars over a decade ago. This isn't news. Amazing that there is 350 posts on this article and nobody pointed this out
