They are not scared of homosexuals, but of homosexuality. It represents a threat to set values and a set way of living to certain individuals. If it wasn't considered a threat to those values, why suppress it? It's homophobia.
Quite simply, they thought it would be too hard for me. I don't actually program for a living (yet?), although I do work in a related field where programming knowledge is useful.
So perhaps there was something to it, but I still enjoy programming so I'm going to continue with it as a hobby.
A CPU will be better off mining Vertcoin in the long-term, as it uses what they call Adaptive N-Factor scrypt algorithm, meaning that RAM becomes more important over time than raw processing power.
That, of course, is assuming that they have equal value, which clearly they don't.
Also, as it's still a new coin with less take-up than Doge you may be able to 'get in on the ground floor', so to speak, but it's less likely to soar in price in my opinion.
I find that much less readable than S-expressions. Well-formatted S-expressions actually make it pretty fast for me to find what I'm looking for in code, probably faster than in C-like languages - and I mostly use languages which are more-or-less C-like.
I thought that your GP did hold your full medical history. I did some work doing data entry for a GP, and most patients had their full medical history on file at the surgery - in both physical and digitised form for the majority.
It is indeed still awful. I know someone who works in Magento and they frequently come to me with genuine WTF bits of code. Added functionality would be a nightmare.
A rewrite is sorely needed, and will help developers who have to work with and on Magento to save their bosses time and money.
It is different from BTC - it's a fork of Litecoin, meaning it uses scrypt rather than SHA-256 and cannot be effectively mined using BTC-oriented ASICs.
> They can get a better deal (non-monetary) elsewhere
Just won the lottery, close relative received terminal diagnosis, got pregnant, believed their horoscope, saved enough to retire - these are all cases where someone believes they can get more value for themselves by leaving their job.
Spouse has had an affair with a co-worker probably goes under "not happy with the culture"...
I get the appeal of a premium service, but what's wrong with ArsTechnica or The Register?
I'm constantly impressed by the quality of these site's articles (although I find The Register difficult to get on with for the same reasons I find Private Eye difficult to get on with).
