> The Vietnam War ended, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, Richard Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal, communism collapsed and the world entered the computer age.

Americans tend to overestimate the importance of their events to describe the world changing.

I have to ask: is this serious or not? While extremely funny, are you guys all working for places where this is not potentially billions in damages?

There is nothing worse than library or language maintainers who do not understand that "pure" error messages are absolute hell. If 99.99 % of the time a user should simply write x instead of y, the message should absolutely state that if possible.

I don't understand why was the next version of IP not just identical to IPv4 but with more bits in address space? Were they trying to do too many things at once in the 90's?

I have a feeling this article is not written by any professional programmer

I find it so hard to believe American Universities give out grades based on hand-ins at all. It seems more similar to High School

from the coursepage

>Brief Course Description: More abstract than calculus, this course aims to develop basic algebraic tools for work with problems involving many variables. Starting from systems of linear equations and vectors in 2-space and 3-space, this course develops ideas about length, angles and resolving a general vector into useful components, identifying features of linear systems or processes in order to choose a basis that is well-adapted to studying a particular phenomenon and move between different points of view to reveal the essential underlying structure. Companion course to 201 (Multivariable Calculus). Discusses matrices and linear transformations, linear independence and dimension, bases and coordinates, determinants, orthogonal projection, least squares, eigenvalues and their applications to quadratic forms and dynamical systems.

Definitely NOT a math class

Because of the people continuing to defend this kind of behavior, and blaming the poor sales guy for not being "technical" enough.

Imagine someone messing with your car. Might be an easy fix if you are a mechanic. Most people are not.

That was extremely inappropriate behaviour from you if this story is true. I feel bad for everyone else involved.
