I work with/for some French guys. French people tend to have bright ideas in the most unpleasant moments (#include "irony.h"). Nevertheless, I was able to cope with the requests, and as a technical leader I was able to impose some of the solutions. The result is very neat, and I'm really proud of it. I will say this: I am convinced that some better solutions exist for some specific problems; I do not agree with some of the imposed constraints. But: measure the quality having in mind time and cost.
This kind of article just make people paranoid. Browsing through comments, I could see the signs... I prefere to find the company which won't kick you out for saying something not politically correct.
People relations have always been the same. And yes, somebody may be pissed off that a very important person just entered into maternity leave and let the co-workers with a lot of stuff to do. What's new under the sun? Well, the new correctitude. There is just an excess of correctitude. And the new sense of morality, too. Money based. Isn't it sad ?
On the other hand, just waiting for the next disaster is plain wrong. Yes, it is a risk. Yes, it may be unavoidable.
People care too much about their health, and don't wanna die anymore. It's sometimes a question of common sense to let it go, and not stay around with 10 machines which breathe for you, pump blood for you and so on.
It's my impression, or in US medicine has become more like a business, and less a social service. Aren't they try to boost the consumerism in that field? After all, you will not get killed if at the first signs of a simple flu you;ll get some drugs you can buy over the counter. I would be very curious which drugs they recommend during that exercise...
... as I told you before, the stupidity is to let your personal security in the hands of Yahoo, Google whatever you want to name the company (yes, I wouldn't trust any...). Their interest might not be the same as yours. That guy had a wrong approach, so he is paying for it.
I think different approaches would yield some better results (just thinking of some).
I'm sure that the current US gov, if requested, would expose every dissident of China, just for a percent or two in some of the state-owned companies there... Don't you love this world ?!?
We'll just create some new XLSs to transform documents from one format to the other.
We'll survive, believe me.
It's so common for MS, that I cannot say again "I'm outraged". It is just MS stuff.
You're wrong:
1) First, I read 3 books per week myself (right, the same 3 books, but I'm deepening my knowledge about them)
2) For the above reason I do NOT consider myself very narrow minded
Leaving the joke aside
Your argumentation could not lead me to your conclusion of us being cynical. Starting with Aristotle, the rules of logic remained the same. Indeed, it's a pity we do not study the rhetoric in schools, but it seems that this applies to you also. Check out the Bible too, there's a nice saying about the straw from someone else's eye... (I hope I got it right, 'cause English is not my native language). .... and have fun.
it's a marketing issue, really. For most of us, the only name that resonates in our head is "XP". Although I understand what you're saying, experiences are good and / or bad, you know...
Revolutions are impossible, just because of that. Imagine trying to gather a critical mass of people with any of the monitored means of comm. You will be labeled (pronto) "enemy of the state" and your a** will rot in jail.
Indeed, the paranoia transforms US, in such a way that now it reminds me of the former USSR. At least names start with same letters...
Avoiding warrants for these cases sounds simple, though potentially invasive of Americans' civil liberties. . The lady misuse the term "potentially". It's for sure.

Yes. The moderators are too shallow. What should I expect ...

Really? Solution: One will do an abortion at 4 1/2 mo, the other carries further the pregnancy.
So mod me down

What a breakthrough! I wonder how such an evident truth can even be discussed ...
- Jimmy, have you seen that our CEO got syphilis ? ...
- Must be the new girl from downstairs

For me, vista just rings the bell with the Terminator and stuff
