Go.. Go… Google!
Site: http://golang.org/
So Google thought that we needed yet another programming language in order to make software development easier.
According to the website:
We believe it’s worth trying again with a new language, a concurrent, garbage-collected language with fast compilation.
- It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a single computer.
- Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries.
- Go’s type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the relationships between types. Also, although Go has static types the language attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.
- Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.
- By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system software on multicore machines.
So here’s some sample code:
package main
import “fmt”
func main() {
fmt.Printf(“Hello, 世界\n”)
}
What part of that looks easy!? Here’s a bunch of programmers creating a language that’s based on ANCIENT programming methodology and syntax. There’s nothing ‘new’ here it’s just C++ repackaged with a faster compiler, better memory handling, and an update to date framework. At least you don’t need to tell the language that it’s using a monitor (I’m looking at you PASCAL) and I’m still betting that the ‘Printf’ function is different from the ‘printf’ function.
This doesn’t make coding any easier. A company can make it harder and harder to insert all sorts of syntax problems in your code but it does nothing for the people that can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag.
If you need to make a program to help you cross the street and your solution detours your route though New York; programmatically that would be correct but there’s a massive logic flaw. THAT is the real problem with developers not being able to make fast code. Management is the other ½ of the problem. You know them, the ‘know it all’ that think it only takes a couple of weeks to make a new Operating System from scratch.
Programming languages can’t fix those problems; suits like Visual Studio can help but it still comes back to programmers making smart choices and clean solutions that are as idiot proof as possible.

2012: It’s Airplane!
Remember in the movie Airplane! The scene where the lady gets hysterical and the flight crew and passengers get in line to slap some sense into her? (If not its here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irNKHSbKqL8 )
I feel like doing this to everyone that starts on this “WERE GOING TO DIE!* (*this time in 2021.)”
We were going to die in 2000. The Y2K bug was going to make airplanes fall from the sky, and trains derail by themselves and cars were going to start driving themselves. It was like that in 1900 and 1800. WTF, really people! Are we as a race STILL that childlike to believe in this non-sense?
You are going to believe a calendar from a race that couldn’t make it themselves? Nostradamus, The profit no one can decipher? Some sect of christens (and its offshoots) that believe God is coming to destroy all the non-believers?!
I think it’s more likely for the tooth fairy to rise up and go postal on the soda industry.
What is the fascination with killing off the human race? They really don’t like it here so much that they would rather kill themselves and everyone on Earth?! What the hell is wrong with them?
If you really believe that the worlds is going to hell in a hand basket then DO something about it. Get your lazy ass off Facebook and become a super hero and stop crime and understand that different people have different ideas and respect that. Doesn’t mean you must agree with it, just respect it.
I want a nice SAFE place for my little boy to grow up.
Keywords: “GROW” and “UP“.

UFOs.. Yes/No?
So what do you think about the whole UFO thing? Aliens? Government testing new aircraft? Do you think the government is withholding information from us?
I think the real issue is that we are not asking the right questions.
It’s not about IF there are UFO’s are real. It’s not about what the government is doing out in Area 51. It’s not even about if the government is withholding information from her people.
The real questions are WHY are people so skeptical about it? And WHY isn’t the government willing to look into it?
Why are people so skeptical about UFOs? I honestly don’t know. There’s enough evidence out there (even if it’s only like 10% of all the cases) that shows there is something abnormal happening from time to time in and over our land. It doesn’t mean that UFO=Alien. All it means is that there is something unknown flying in the sky. I really do not understand why people would be skeptical about the possibly of it and choose to reticule people that have seen something unknown in the sky.
As for the government/military… This I really don’t get. The last major government study ended quite a few years ago wouldn’t it be better to open another ‘Project Bluebook’ and study the reports again with the much better technology we have now? Reports didn’t go away after Bluebook was closed to the point that a international civilian network (MUFON) was created to help people. Isn’t that what our government is for; to help and protect its people?
If a UFO can get into our airspace isn’t that something the government should be protecting us from? At the very least be explaining what’s going on or trying to find out. So it doesn’t matter if you believe in UFO’s or not. Point is something unexplained has invaded our airspace and the government is doing nothing and that is something you should be worried about.

So…
So why is prostituion illegal? Really, Why? it’s been around for .. well since the beginning of time. What makes our thinking and morals say that it’s ‘wrong’ and therefor should be illegal. But if it was taxed ed and regulated so it’s safer for both the client and the Fuddie. it would make the state money to allow SO many more things to happen, most likly lower sex crimes. So why not? anyone have any thoughts?

well Trevor’s bilirubin count was a bit high. so to make sure that jaundice doesn’t set in they are going to hold him here for another day. myself and the PogoWife will continue to be here in the room to until sometime tomorrow.
we thought this better then taking him home in order to just bundle him back up to come back here tomorrow and just perhaps put him under the lights anyway.
there’s no ‘problem’ and nothing to really worry about. it’s just with all his bruising his liver just isn’t up to the task of dealing with the bruises, the lights will take care of that problem.
