Facebook is a commodity to the users (Advertisers) because people share information on it...
If employers regularly demand this then people will either,

C was widely used because it was well supported on all platforms and had extensive libraries.. C++ see above (and the syntax is similar to C) Java - See above for cross platform (and the syntax is similar to C/C++) JavaScript - See above for Web-browsers (and the syntax is similar to C/C++/Java) C# See above (for Windows and some other systems) (and the syntax is similar to C/C++/Java)
Do you see a pattern here, can I learn a language similar to what I already know, that will be well supported on the platform I am using, and will have all the libraries I will need...
Languages that are better in every respect will fall by the wayside if they don't meet these criteria regardless of how much better they are...
C and it's descendents are not the universal perfect language that people suppose, they are just popular, and now are just popular because they are near ubiquitous...
Red hair can be caused by at least for different genes on MC1R Arg151Cys, Arg160Trp, Asp294His, and Arg142His and possibly others on HCL2
And all of these are recessive so non-redhaired people can and often do have them too...
So which are they testing, some of these, a mixture of these..... and what against, people without the recessive genes, people with some of the recessive genes...?
A team needs to be in one place at least part of the time, formal meetings (or teleconferences) are all very well, but what about the other interaction between team members, how do you allow this with remote workers...?
Your Teams can be spread around, but if each team is scattered then it is not longer a team...
"But they have grandfathered old unlimited plans so as not to piss off existing customers" - and are pissing off those same customers by limiting them..?
There were not enough lifeboats because that was standard practice at the time, the thinking was that the lifeboats were not for sitting in awaiting rescue, but for ferrying passengers across to the rescuing ships, along with the rescuing ships lifeboats, not as mad as it sounds, there were 3-4 ships in the area who could have helped, but didn't either because their radio was off, or thought they were too far away...there was normally a lot of ships in the Atlantic it was very busy...
Because of the Titanic it was changed to have enough lifeboat capacity for all aboard, and make the lifeboats survival systems rather than little more than emergency ferries...
SQL is like a Sherman Tank, it is safe, robust and can go surprisingly quickly, but can be overwhelmed by hordes of lightly armed soldiers
NoSQL is more like a cluster of bots, each is low powered and very simple and so cannot do anything very complex, but they can cope with many things at once..
Software patents are mostly of the blindingly obvious or "...on a mobile device" "...on a website" kind
This is the main problem with them, and why so many people are against software patents, lawyers think they are novel ideas, programmers don't, and so everyone ends up with the ability to sue everyone else...
An idea that is so un-novel that everyone is already using it should not be patentable...
This is on Motorways (restricted Highways with no traffic that can't travel at least 30mph), and major A roads where there are often no pavements (sidewalks) and you would be mad to try and cross since most people treat them as Motorways...
If something falls of a truck in broad daylight then avoiding it at 70+ mph would be a challenge...
Golden Globes : 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Oscars : 6,000 motion picture professionals mostly American Grammys : NARAS a U.S. organization of musicians, producers, recording engineers and other recording professionals
So no bias there then... amazing that US movies mostly win with the occasional English language movie from elsewhere
When was the last time a non-english movie won, a horror movie, a bollywood movie (Slumdog was a British/American movie) etc. etc..
When are people going to wake up that Oscars are voted for by an Elite cliquey non-elected panel of Hollywood insiders known as the Academy
They are not reflective of actual success, some of the most popular, and most successful movies did not win, some well know actors and directors have never won...

NoSQL is a terrible name
SQL = Structured Query Language, but people usually use it to mean an RDBMS (Relational DB) Because most use SQL
NoSQL = Not SQL, but actually means is not an RDBMS - usually a hash store (or similar)
Some NoSQL DB's use SQL to query the hash store, some RDBMS's don't use SQL ...
