The original post was written by a contractor. As a contractor you need to play differently than an intern or a regular employee. Respect is important, it sets the bar for how much you can ask for when doing assignments. If you are not respected by the company, you won't receive any calls. It's as simple as that. If you work as a regular employee, things are a lot different.
If you refuse to cooperate you will lose in the long run. Bad will never earns you respect. I you manage to replace your self, then you have added value to the company. And they might come back for you when they need help in the future. If you are as good as you claim. Your replacement might call for your assistance on new project, since your are viewed as a mentor. Someone you can rely on.
In the first years of the internet, when it was young and out of control, back in the nineties, it was populated by academics, mainly engineers (nerds). Then the hardcore gamer started pouring in (typically academics, mainly engineers (nerds)). The Nerds constituted the majority. Today however, the internet is filled with simple and ordinary people (*). Including all the lame politics that goes with it.

Absolutely. But it will never be like back in the nineties and the zeroes.

Because the moment that someone like you or someone else creates a really popular site, with a lot of users, it will be sold to the highest bidder, for capitalization. Which is not necessarily a bad idea. Except for all the stupid policies that is enforced to control and maximize the profit. That's the killer. Business just has to understand the economical importance of freedom of speech, when dealing with sites like Slashdot, then it'l be ok, or so.

I always thought that the X32B was much interesting because of it's new design and overall simplicity. Since the F-35 has already cost so much money to develop and apparently performs so bad compared to existing and older designs that it should be reconsidered. Boeing's X32B should be a lot cheaper to manufacture and operate because of the simpler design and thus a much better candidate as a JSF jet. Let Boeing have it, if they also promise to throw in the Delta Clipper program.
I would never have expected robots to render circus artists jobless before anybody else. Just add the Boston big dog, some micro drones and a snake bot and you've got a whole freaking robo-circus going.
Outsourcing whole IT operations is becoming more and more common now a days. Not just projects and support. But the whole package. Even local management is now a viable candidate. I guess top level management is the next big thing. Anything to make a small short term gain. Including the same last centuries management that was once imposed out there, in the third world. Is time to take your own medicine? Nah? F..that
What is the chance that this tiny, cute little 10 ton boulder returns after being flung around the moon, after losing some of it's momentum by earths gravity pull. Then gaining that momentum again, but now in the opposite direction, passing earth again, but this time at about 25.000km. And then SMASHING into DA14, transferring all it's kinetic energy to DA14, changing it's velocity about 10% towards the earth?
Distance to moon ~356.000 km Asteroid speed ~ 30 km/s 356.000km/30km/s = 3560s ~ 1 hour
Both ways 2 hours plus minus a couple of hours changing acceleration.
That would leave plenty of time to intercept and ( capture ) DA14 into an earth collision trajectory.
Chances might only be one in 100.000.000.000 But then again. Why not?:)
And what would be odds of bringing DA14 back into little brothers trail, tomorrow at the same time? ( that would be kin of ironic )
>New Asteroid Mining Company Emerges Geez how many are there now?
This is rediculous.
All we need is a BFR so that we can go back to the moon. The moon is the first and only logical step towards anything outside earth. Not Mars, not tiny meteors whizzing by at +10.000ms, that might be rich in this or that.
Mainly because most of the popular CMS templates and mobile apps that are being used around the internet is using WebKit for transition, animation and swipe effects. You can make WebKit web parts for your SharePoint web site. Except that all your (intranet) users will probably be using IE browsers. And you wouldn't like to get fired by your colleagues, by back stabbing, for suggesting something outside the MS box. Even though there are still a lot of companies and government institutions run by MS evangelists imposing an MS only strategy (that's not a strategy, but that is what they make mgmnt. think) They belong to a diminishing world and will not change because they are driven by political agendas by people who don't care about the bottom line, but use IT policies as a control instrument to grab power, by the concept if you can set the rules then you are in control, then you are the boss (as long as it lasts). So what does that have to do with WebKit? Well if MS won't add WebKit to IE, SharePoint will be toast sooner than later, with it all the other intranet relevant MS server products and then the Office package will be next in line (oooh), the cloud apps are becoming stronger and stronger and they use WebKit as well. Now that being said, WebKit is bad, because it uses CSS for transitions and animations. All animations should be handled in JavaScript! But since you can't stop WebKit, it is mushrooming all over the place, sigh. MS should hurry up. If you can't beat them join them. Maybe it's not too late:)
That might also explain why bait fishers are more aggressive than fly fishers . Because the bait fishers constantly balance their tags with lead, by biting the split lead beads on to the nylon wire, thus depositing small amounts of lead on the front teeth each time. I always used spinners.
I'm not gonna waste my "perma-terrible-modded-down-two-submits-per-day" and add anything more to that. Except that most people that can only diss JavaScript, don't know how to program or think for that matter. Often the n00b's will compare JavaScript to type safe languages like Java and C# using lame arguments about structured programming, unit testing etc. which is absolutely ridiculous. It is a client side scripting language but also a prototype based and object oriented language that is meant to handle user events, work on the html dom and perform some business logic. The fact that it can actually do a lot of business processing on the client side and do it in a stable manner as well, is just starting to get recognized and embraced in various cloud solutions. I believe that a lot of those who diss JavaScript feel that they have to prove something. Perhaps they learned how to master structured programming, making lots of rigid code based on interfaces and dependency injection so they can live in a predictable world, where they can unit test everything from the data layer all the way out to the client side. Often they go that way because they are not very good at solving real life issues, but will rather, blindly follow well proven design patterns, because that is where the light is, so that is where we are going to spend our time looking for a solution. JavaScript is a simple client side language. And that is why it so successful. Because it does not try to blend with both your Episerver, Websphere or.Net backend at the same time. It's the other way around. If you want a nice front end you need to talk to JavaScript. If you need a stable, scalable, high performance backend system use C#, Java, C++ or do what ever the fuck you wanna do! Of cause you could also use node.js on the back end and throw in a few extra server blades in the rack:-P

This sounds like a typical outsourcing job.

Anything to make a small short term gain. Including the same last centuries management that was once imposed out there, in the third world.
Is time to take your own medicine?
Nah? F..that

Should have been:
