Depends on weather or not age led to wisdom or knowledge. One company I worked at they fired the recent hire who just got done working an 80 hour week and I know he was smarter, and cheaper, than half the people they kept. I know what you mean.
And then ere are the cities in my area that were forced to up their speed limit by the state because they were setting them too low... then the next city over still has the low speed limits.
I'm a white male and I felt like a wierd alien and shit got uncomfortable for me when dealing with most people outside of a few of the CS students at College.
Chaos in the Skies just had an episode about airplane crashes due to autopilot error. A couple things they stated is humans are usually rather poor at monitoring automated systems and that some airlines now require the pilot to have their hands on the controls while the autopilot is in control on approach. I wonder if we will get to the point some day where self driving cars are only allowed if a human has hands on the wheel.
In software development you need to learn how to program, you don't really need to know how to program in a specific language other than understanding what syntax is. Once you know how to program you can program in most any language with not much more than a quick reference.
Yep, I've got ~725 credit and have never (to my knowledge) paid interest on a credit card. Actually they pay me since my two cards are cash back so I rarely use cash, just watch every charge like I was spending cash from my bank.
I've got a credit score around 725 after 10 years out of college and I've always paid my balance. I've always had a good credit score, I think the only significant strike is low account age as I've closed out a couple bad credit cards.
The license agreement with the federal, state and local governments say Balmer can't throw a chair at me. His parents signed that agreement when he was born (I'm presuming he is born american...).
I would not work for a company that told me to just write code. While a lot of standards and management go overboard, it is mostly about the fact that when working in the corporate environment I have almost never reworked my own code. 95%+ of what I work on is updating someone else's code and I'd rather the time and effort learning their code be saved by them following some sort of standards.
Most companies don't even spend enough time writing requirements to define what the software should do. They often focus on the most important 5% of the design and ignore the rest, then complain that what I implemented doesn't match what they didn't tell me they wanted.
In my line of work its less often a moving target and more about being too vague. When multiple implementations meet the requirement I often seem to end up with the one that the designers say don't match... even when I tell them my plans before hand.
In avionics sexual harassment is part of business terminology (well not really). At one point I had like a half a dozen different examples like this: http://www.airliners.net/aviat... (avionics fast erection).
Personally I am very offended by the lack of profanity around some of the offices I work at. Overly polite workers are hiding secrets that could explode out and lead to a workplace rampage. Excess profanity indicates people who are dealing with their anger at work in a very healthy manner.
Meh, mostly in the US if something is dangerous we prefer to regulate it out of existence rather than make it safer anyway.
I do find it interesting we can design a stock car that allows the driver to walk away from a 200+ MPH collision with a brick wall and still go like a bat out of hell but not so much with trains. I suppose fuel efficiency was never a major concern with the stock car though.
I want your coordinated lights, where I'm at I'm lucky to hit three in a row most of the time so I'm used to not getting up to speed for that light in a quarter mile that will still be red 15 seconds after I get there (and 20 seconds after the brake dust clears from the guy that went as fast as he could).
Yeah most of my areas are when I'm going to have to stop already, I just prefer not to wear out the breaks when I have a chance. I don't slow down unless I have an indication I will have no choice and I tend to avoid being particularly drastic in heavy traffic (ex only slowing down early enough that I get there maybe 5 seconds later than the guy slamming on the brakes). But your points are still valid, like I say use when appropriate.

Distributing copies, whatever... "distribution and selling copies for profit" - You screwed.

Yep, far more likely the hundreds of people I dealt with are the weird ones.

Only when you drill holes in it to make it lighter.
Or
if defendant.lawyer_pay > plaintiff.lawyer_pay
winner = defendant
else
winner = plaintiff
You mean like all the cosmological (is that the word?) algorithms and models that match how the universe was created?

Does the license agreement say it wont install SecuROM?

Me, gullible? I've never fallen for anything! Excuse me, I have a bridge in New York to procure.
