To be on the safe side, we'd better start telling our kids too. They're the ones who will grow up with the mess. They should at least know what the alternative could have been.
Just got back to the US from a week in France. French coverage was so much better. Hours at a time of just sports and they didn't just show the sports where the French were contenders. Obviously for interviews they tended to talk to French atheletes, but that is natural since other atheletes wouldn't be understood by the target audience.
I'm not sure how or why US coverage became so bad, but it really is awful. I had half expected the French coverage to be just as bad, but it really was fun watching sports instead of the docudrama that NBC shows.
I suspect a strong correlation can be found by looking at the management style of the organization. I would hypothesize that where the management style tended to be "command and control", women who stay with it would be proportionally much lower than in more collegial environments.
1. Lose the picture. Getting past the first HR screening means letting them be able to prove lack of prejudice, so being a 'while male in his early 20's', while putting you in the 'good' bucket, means that HR can't say that they picked your resume on its merits without regard to race, color, creed, age, or sex. If they know, what are the odds they skip over you because they couldn't show lack of preferential treatment?.... 3. Lose the personal stats, Title (Mr.), Date of Birth, and Marital Status. If the reason isn't blatantly obvious, see #1 above.....
This advice might be true in North America, but in Europe if you leave this stuff off, your CV goes straight to the "no" pile.
As an American who lives in Europe, I'd also have to agree, but add that he political spectrum in the US is not only centered to the right wing of the world spectrum, but pretty compressed at least compared to Europe with its "respectable" far right parties.

I stood on top of a school bus approximately 4 miles from the launch of apollo 11 ("One small step...."). I can personally attest that the sound was this loud . When the ignition started, it was the loudest sound I'd ever heard, then it got louder, and louder and louder. I literally almost fell off the bus.
The only reason that "MS's own JVM works flawlessly on every web site..." is because developers, knowing that they must conform to java 1.x standards, are forced to use this subset of java which is why you've "...never seen a client-side Java application that wasn't mediocre, anyway".
It's a catch-22 - get it?
I think that it's worth stating that neither the OS nor the browser should be in the position of supplying the JVM to the end user. This very notion puts the OS supplier and browser supplier in the driver's seat. I would prefer that the OEM's (the Dells, Compacs, etc.) supply the JVM at system integration time.
Isn't there a little irony here in that the CIA is contributing
a hardened secure distribution of linux while the FBI is at the same time
pursuing this virus based scheme? Hmmm.....
In my experience, which is pretty long, people with a well rounded liberal arts education to back up their technical expertise have always been able to command much higher salaries. Metaphor and analogy go a long way in life.

It might be instructive to consider the railroads in the late 19th century. Almost all of the pioneering railroad companies went broke, but the railroads prospered and changed the face of the world forever.

And not just on guitar. Consider the saxaphone, trumpet, Louis Armstrong, Bird, John Coltraine etc. If chording was really so bad, then presumably none of the great musicians - who have to hit chords far more strenuous than CTRL-ALT-whatever - would ever go into that zen state and I dare say that nobody is going to suggest that.
