Having been in upper management at a poorly run company and after arguing with the CEO about various IT related decisions, I can say very confidently that some people simply make bad, short-sighted decisions that might seem more profitable in the short run but end up coming to bite them in the ass later and costing significantly more money to fix than if it had simply been done correctly the first time.
You've gotten lucky. There are a lot of horrible shops where it's always crunch time. And usually because of poor decisions by upper management that could have been prevented with a little bit of planning.
Giving a person a fishing rod is equivalent to educating him. Look at the graduation rate of inner city high schools. They have the fishing rod, they just think that fishing is something white people do.
Affirmative action is more like someone sitting underwater in SCUBA gear and putting a fish on the line every time they drop the hook.
And we've never heard of laptops being lost and compromising vast amounts of corporate data. Let's let even the lowliest of n00bs have everything on their phone!
Back in the 80s AIDS was considered the gay disease because that's where it initially appeared and spread rapidly. It spread to heterosexuals from guys that swung both ways. The gay lifestyle definitely impacted heterosexuals.
And I'm against all social engineering, so that bullshit excuse that it's done elsewhere doesn't fly with me. I want the government to leave me the fuck alone.
However, there are two conditions under which project management becomes required: a) If people don't give a fuck and won't do a thing unless you tell them explicitly what they need to do. b) The project reaches a complexity where individual members lose sight of the overal goal and state.
In other words, most projects at your average company.
Ooooh, oooh! As long as we get to talk to the developers directly, can I request that the main screen of the program has a picture of a cat on it? I like cats.
One of my top priorities as a software development manager is to keep people away from my developers so they can do their jobs.
Why can't more people think like you? I completely agree with government agencies rating products and services, mandating truth in labeling. If that food contains rat droppings, then yes I want to know. But maybe I enjoy rat droppings now and then. Government as an equalizing force between parties, yes. Government acting as my nanny, no.
Force public opinion via random violence? The same thing could be said to describe many a "legitimate" government. The only difference between a terrorist and any other form of violence is marketing.
Hey there Mr. Indielabel that's a nice little website you have there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it.
Oh, by the way, it sounds like one of the artists on your little label wrote a song that sounds similar to one of our millions of copyrighted songs, so we're suing you for $1,000,000,000 right after the Division of Homeland Security shuts down your website for copyright infringement and the SWAT team kicks down your door.
I'm not positive, but your comment about elitists and spelling of "nukular" leads me to believe you're blaming Republicans for the fear of nuclear. Quite the opposite, I think you'll find Republicans in favor of nuclear and it's Democrats who childishly anti-nuclear.
I imagine being forced to drop your speed has something to do with the safety improvement. It's very easy for someone not paying attention to blow through a standard stop light intersection at 50mph. Try that in a roundabout and you will end up jumping a curb and landing in the middle of the roundabout.

So your complaint is that people who created something with their and energy for you to use freely, is that they aren't doing enough work for you?
Fuck you, you ungrateful asshole.
Pass a law that forces looters to set the evil bit on their messages.

You really want to get into that game?
Right wingers also say that heterosexuality should work for everyone too. Just because some guys want cock instead of pussy doesn't mean they need it.
Do you want to keep going down the path of federally mandated lifestyles?

Really? And without the force of government, who is going to recognize and punish people who violate the patent?
That's a bureaucrat who needs to be executed. Don't worry, we'll just send him a letter and give him a few days to clear up any confusion.
I'll say it again: if government didn't intervene at all, how would a business hold a patent? Who grants patents, you imbecile?
How exactly will a "business do what they want" and get all these patents, without government intervention?
You are a fucking moron.
Force public opinion via random violence? The same thing could be said to describe many a "legitimate" government. The only difference between a terrorist and any other form of violence is marketing.
You laugh, but I've worked at a company that operated that way.
So it's Windows Phone Desktop Edition?

Yes, because a nuclear plant built several decades ago is the absolute peak of technology and everything should be judged against that.

50F water is fatal? Tell that to everyone who participates in polar bear plunges.
