Wow, it's like you didn't even take the time to process what he said and decided to get outraged anyway.

Hey man, all that CRUD needed to make all those shovelware google apps requires a ton of algorithmic knowledge. /s

Isn't it possible with a little bit of work to get Unity content working on UE4?

One problem I have with the page is the contrast of the lettering. I think you the light grey characters could be a little bit darker.

So I decided to search the definition of engineering on the internet because I've heard this whole "software engineering is not engineering" thing before:

> Engineering (from Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise") is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.

So, software "engineering" definitely involves the use of scientific, economic, social and practical knowledge to build, maintain, research, and improve devices, systems, and processes. So that, in my lowly opinion, makes it engineering "in the strictest sense of the term".

Arguing about semantics is extremely stupid if you are not a PHD in linguistics.

What is the difference between this and Cassandra? A more powerful querying language?

Cassandra already has Consistency Levels with Replication Strategies. I feel like the only way to get powerful querying out of a system like this would be to have a map reduce layer on top of your db which is what many do to get powerful querying from cassandra.

And then all of the universities submitting courses to coursera would stop...

When people are saying the certificate is worthless they mean that when applying for a job, employers do not care if you have completed a mooc or not. A Mooc's value doesn't come from the fact that you finish the course, it comes from the fact that you've learned something new from great teachers. With the knowledge from that mooc you should then do something which you can then show to whomever.

Oh those poor government agencies with their millions of dollars in funding. Who will defend them from those teenage hackers that are causing them "trillions" in damages tm.

I don't know about the newer smart boards but the old ones sucked hard. This windows surface device seems like it will be using an actual digitizer and it wont be using a projector.
