I do the same so I aliased it to just "chrome", "firefox", etc.

Well .org is pretty much the standard TLD for open source projects. While it would be "cool" to use .io it might confuse some people.

It's very common for example that projects have an .org for their Open Source software and .com or other for their business behind it (see wordpress.org vs wordpress.com)

It's not your connection, they don't load for me as well.

I'd say so too. Many languages say that everything NOT false or null is true.

My question to other android developers and especially people in hiring positions:

Do you think such a certificate would be a deciding factor in the hiring process? (Especially for entry-level positions, but also generally)

It's free if you don't want/need the certificate and personal coaching.

What are the main disadvantages of using python for SICP?

I think Apple has the potential to change the way we handle information in both schools and hospitals (and of course private practices). Both of these are usually still using outdated Hardware/Software from ~2000 so they will have to be replaced in the near future.

I just don't know if it's good for a school to buy into a closed environment, like the one Apple provides.

Well it was an anecdote but there are many people out there experiencing the same. (Google) Probably some problems with the drivers for AMD graphic cards. Even after disabling all the 3D effects, etc. the UI has a significant response delay. Same on my Asus EEE PC which features a whole different configuration.

Ubuntu/Unity doesn't even manage to run smoothly on my 8GB RAM, 6 core machine. I don't want to imagine how it would run on a TV.

could you elaborate on that thought a bit?

SOPA and the people who wrote it don't give a shit about creative people making more money out of it. This is all a move organized by the agencies, corporations, etc. who used to be essential for every creative to market himself and reach his target audience. The internet made them more or less obsolete and now they're fighting against it.

There are numerous examples of "creative people" making good money out of their work on the internet, without worrying about piracy too much.
