Buy a console. Or play other kind of "games" with her;) Or go out. I mean anything where you actually spend time interacting with each other in the real world.
People designing sites in SharePoint use the Visual Studio extensions, not SP Designer!
SharePoint Designer is based on FrontPage, *not* Expression Web. As such, it is one of the most obtrusive obnoxious web site designer. It will happily reformat your html, css and what not, even making it not work while doing so.
Gambling is a recognized addiction and yet, it does not have physical repercussions AFAIK. A person with an addiction will just move the next when the current one is cured, unless the root cause is found and dealt with. This may or may not apply to you...
I installed Opera a couple of years ago. Guess what is still on my machine ? Features, stability and speed. Wow, I got the three without a zillion bloated addons. Ya, sarcastic, but sadly true.
OK, you win. Obviously, there is NO way on Earth to test a stupid bottle of saline solution or what have you. Next thing, you will tell me a rabbit can hide in the double bottom.
I made a comment about testing liquids. Nothing more. I am sure you can think of a way to test the content of the whole bottle. Examples include spectometry, taking samples, putting a reactive on a stick down to the bottom, or any such very difficult things to do.
About saline water... I don't think it's hard to test that it is indeed H20 with NaCl, now is it?
A whitelist will always be more effective than a blacklist because you test only what you know. Hence you test for saline water, baby milk and whatever you want, and then everything is discarded.
If I am not mistaken, I remember reading that certain muscles, cardiovascular in particular, do not need to be controlled directly by the brain or even the spine. They contract at a regular interval on their own.
Yes, I hope that you are modded down because you are simply trolling. IIS eroding Apache? Let's get real! IE7 better than Firefox/Safari? And Opera too? Whoa. I won't bother arguing with other stuff you said, you are the one having a wet dream my friend. Time to wake up and wash your sheets.
That answer does not make sense at all given the points they try to make in the article which clearly shows their misunderstanding of what is MapReduce.
You [the articles authors] seem to be under the impression that MapReduce is a database. It's merely a mechanism for using lots of machines to process very large data sets. You seem to be arguing that MapReduce would be better (for some value of better) if it were a data warehouse product along the lines of TeraData. Unfortunately the resulting tool would be less effective as a general purpose mechanism for processing very large data sets.
First, the OP is complaining about the process, not the programmers themselves. Coding is not their strength, biology is, and that is fine. The way to solve this is to have one or more dedicated software architects that they trust. They need to accept his advices and criticisms. It's ok to make mistakes, as long as you catch them fast and learn from them. These architects must have the full support of management. They need to have both responsibility and power. One without the other is pointless.
Second, if you really have to go through all those hoops just so people will set aside their ego and learn a thing or two, I feel your pain. What distinguish great employees from ordinary ones is that the former is not only willing to learn, but is eager to do so. When he stops learning, it gets boring for him. Technical expertise/experience is much less important than attitude if you ask me. You can change the former, but the latter is much harder to compensate for. Your post could not give a clearer example of that fact.
If your company is concerned about quality people, and you need to take someone by the hand and pat him on the back all the time like a little child, then that person should probably not have been hired in the first place. Now, if you do not have the luxury to cherry pick your employees, or HR have bad hiring practices, then yes, you are in for an uphill battle with some people. I have learned that unless you are in charge (or aspire to be), you should not involve yourself in that. Point out things to your manager and then let him handle it. If nothing improves, then move team or even company. This kind of mess is hurting both your company and your reputation/career in the long run.
Team spirit goes both way. You respect people and encourage them, but they also need to respect your expertise and set their ego aside. What you wrote is the perfect recipe for a burn-out. No one can carry the world on their shoulders for a long time.
I have the same opinion as you about Hellboy 2, but as far as Pan's Labyrinth is concerned, it is totally different and way much better. You are truly missing on something if you do not see that movie at least once.

I think you should replace some M with B in your comment ;)

But when is the last time we have seen Opera make the front page on /. ?
Ah well, I will go to bed less stupid tonight :p

Shake the bottle ? I mean ... come on.

Exactly. Same here :) It's not just university students that do it, as the article implies.

What exactly is offtopic in my post? I smell fan boy moderation.
Why is Opera almost always ignored? Yeah, its market share is slim, but how do you expect it to get bigger if we cannot see how good it is.
What about LUA ? I see it used quite frequently.

And repression of the expression of that inner self cause all sort of destructive behaviors, both on an individual and a society basis.
Done.
Sorry, you are not the first to link pics, no warm feeling inside for you.
