I still remember my first boss. He thought, by just renaming the function name, the program will start giving desired result. For example, by renaming the function "SaveToDisk()" to "SaveToDatabase()", the program will start saving data in database. Sometimes he took our class -- "Programming is nothing but Instruction to computer about what to do". But he did not know that computer understand the instruction in a particular language, not in English.

Well who calls the Prime Minister in to fix a bug? Contributory negligence!

True. Politicians only create problems; they never fix them. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The problem with politicians is that they are generally lawyers. Always thought maybe we should require a politician to have a PhD in history. Maybe then we would not continue to make the same stupid mistakes.

Good God. Have you ever talked to someone who had a PhD in history? Their goal in life is to achieve fame in their field by revising current historical thinking to mean something else. Instead of learning the lessons of history, they rewrite history to give the lessons they prefer.

There have been plenty of politicians who were students of History. I don't recall that any of them were better at avoiding errors than the ignoramuses.
Very few (if any) politicians were trained in the "hard sciences" or as engineers. If this were a requirement, we would at least be certain that they can think logically in one field...

Isn't one of the benefits of signing that you can have an entire conversation about a person right in front of them without them knowing what you're saying? 
The whole thing's rigged to blow, touch those tanks and "boooom"!

That could be great till you get the sign wrong, just like a Children's programme Hi kids 'I'm f****** you' | Metro News[^]

Well yes and no. ASL is not simply a transliteration of English though. It also has it's own syntax and grammatical quirks which means that for anything other than a very simple 'sentence' or one specifically designed to avoid pitfalls you're not going to get anything a lot better than a Google translation of a Google translation. And we know how those work out ...

That's brilliant. I stayed on to listen to the Adele - a considerable improvement on the original. I think I'm in love!

Why did no-one think of this before? Of the thousands of ideas out there for helping the deaf to communicate effectively with the hearing, this has to be the most obvious and useful.

you would notice that:
- everything is touch screen and mouse is a history to them
- Windows is hard for them to use
- No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want
- damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch

Nope. Mine find it easy enough..jpg wrote: No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want
Err no - they almost never use voice input..jpg wrote: damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch
Again, no. They (and most of their friends judging by the way my house is taken over when they come over) have no problems with remote controls.
That's the problem with lists like this. They make great little "soundbites" but they really don't stand up to too much scrutiny.

I don't have children, but I don't believe any of them are true either.
But somebody seemed to like it, because somebody upvoted it...

I totally believed the post until you posted your reply. Thanks for debunking it.

I wonder how old (or young!) the OP's kids are. I expect his observations are skewed by their age.

I have kids and what I've found is that when asked who your "favourite child" is, you're expected to pick from one of your own.
