The question is fundamentally flawed, in that "data structure" is a concept used by programmers to communicate with computers (or between programmers). A comparable question would …

Agreed. Watching Carl Sagan´s Cosmos at age 9 was fascinating, even though a second viewing, years later, was much more informative.

A law could be the way to fix that if it concerns state-owned media, which in France (and Europe, in general) is mainstream.

That was somehow sorted out by the Mythbusters (Season 1, Episode 8). Or is news of Russians burying themselves a meta-urban myth?

English teenagers are taught Visual Basic disguised as general event-driven programming. This limits their view of what event-driven programming is. But, how much? Is it really an …

Isn't it a "page" or "document", and not a "website"?

The first paragraph describes a common structure of the articles in The Economist, which goes a long way towards explaining why it is so satisfying to read.

The physorg article mixes up, at first, the nature/nurture question and the cross-modality of perception question (whether internal representations good for tactile perception are …

http://clipperz.com rocks in terms of usability, convenience, and a sense of security (which might be false: here is a call for criticism). It is open source, portable (runs in Jav…

I am considering that, but shutting down during off hours so as not to run into a bill of >$200 a year (I'm not a new customer). I am curious about people's experiences with using …

Yes, something like the idea of a Virtual Private Server is what I was looking for, thanks. I wonder what's people's experience for single-user, private daily use.

Finishing a contract for an academic project soon, I'll miss having a unix machine I can log in from anywhere, which has all my scripts and data in it, where I can run stuff for my…

Since e is a number, not a function (the function is exp = lambda x: e^x) then 1/e is not log but one divided by e. I once was told that using, say, 1/cos for acos is specific to E…

For the Airbus style of jobs perhaps you should consider Hamburg (similar costs, much smaller) because there you could find... Airbus. Not so international atmosphere, though, alth…
