Yeah, developers are paid even more poorly than public school teachers. It's an outrage. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
If you work overtime and your employer is legally obligated to pay you overtime, you should demand it. If your employer refuses to pay you, you should threaten to report them to the IRS and/or quit. Why would you be stupid enough to not do this for over a year? If you're a contractor, surely you have negotiated payment terms that ensure you get compensated for working overtime. If not, you're an idiot.
The problem of people not being compensated for working overtime isn't limited to the world of software development. Developers tend to have a much greater degree of control over the terms of their employment, and a much greater ability to find work, than your average non-developer. Good programmers are still in high demand. What's that? You're not a good programmer? Then don't just blame your boss for trying to take advantage of you; blame yourself for letting him.
That somebody allowed the cookie to be stored on their computer in the first place implies authorization. If the cookie planters are successful, they can assume it's because you granted them such access (whether express or implied). Just like if you walk up to a store and the front door is unlocked, you can assume they're open for business.
Even if you are successful in deleting these supercookies forever, nothing will stop the web servers from identifying and tracking you by browser signature (among other things, like IP address), which does not require storing anything at all on your computer.
My credit card company always honors my charges made abroad, and I don't have to tell them I'm traveling. Since I made the travel reservations with the same card, I assume they put two and two together and "know" when I'll be in another country. (Which still doesn't prevent somebody from using my card fraudulently in that country at the same time, but that's another story.)
The larger picture is fucking use the right tool for the job already.
Easy to say, but not so easy to do when you're either hamstrung by corporate policy or entrenched systems that you can't change due to politics or money.
Next time they experience any computer problems they will blame you for setting up a time bomb before you were terminated. Either way, they'll point the finger at you.
Usually they can only get as far as the receptionist, unless they're able to social-engineer their way even farther. Although I have seen plenty of offices in which the reception area is open to the rest of the office and there is often no receptionist.
Kelly is probably as close to a Rennaisance man as it's possible to be in the 21st century, having more-than-passing interest and knowledge in a range of topics from genetic sequencing...
Since when was genetic sequencing a hot topic in the Renaissance? I'd be more impressed if he was fluent in stained glass artistry, music composition, and Latin and Greek.

How do you define "incorrect?"
If it's spelled with a capital "F" you'll have to change the laws of English before you change the laws of physics.
The phones need a nuclear plant meltdown alert warning system.

These days I'll bet they could run the entire thing in a JVM on an iPhone.
No, what matters is first to post.
And then there are the people named Kim who are neither female nor Asian.

Syntactic abstraction, which (if properly used) leads to code that is more complex yet just as easy to read.

Believe it or not, the phrase was around long before the Simpsons parodied it.
...Google places its services above others on the search results page regardless of their actual algorithmic placement.
Placing themselves above others IS the algorithm.
Oh, then it's all okay, because nobody could ever defraud that system.
How does this differ from any other site where people post stuff?
After search, their second success was online advertising. That's where they get the majority of their revenue.
And, Google adapts their design based on the type of search. Just compare Google's web search to GIS.
Thanks for revealing my password, you insensitive clod!
No, it's for people who are bad at meth.
How is this "huge?" What the hell are you going to do with it?
Funny, that's what my GF said to me the other day. So I'm guessing you're a woman, too.
If they do, any private party may attempt to sue any panelist out of defcon.
Welcome to the USA, where any private party may attempt to sue anybody for anything.
