The UK didn't spend extra money. We've been putting up with austerity measures and significant cuts for the last 5 years, and no doubt for the next 5 years as well since the narrative is that the effects of the global financial crisis on a country that is a major financial centre was completely the fault of the previous administration.
The explicit purpose is NOT to point fingers. It is a short meeting to tell the rest of the team and the product owner what you're doing and if there's anything blocking your progress. Waterfall on the other hand has long meetings and as the project heads towards its inevitable failure those meetings become longer and more acrimonious. Waterfall only works if the users know exactly what they want, they are reasonable with timescales and the business never changes and we know how often that is the case. I've seen many a waterfall project fail because of vague requirements, ludicrously short timescales and users who kept changing their minds. With Agile those things can be managed far more effectively because issues come to light in the two week sprint instead of 9 months later when the user sees their first demo and says "That's not what I wanted".
Are you saying men haven't suffered any pain at any point? Forced conscription for one. I recommend The Myth of Male Power for the other side of the feminist "men as oppressors" narrative.
Germany has even stronger unions and is doing very well. Margaret Thatcher handed the UK economy over to bankers and we saw how well that turned out in 2008.
Define "not used". The Linux kernel is on the majority of smart phones and on an increasing number of smart TVs as well as countless commercial Web servers. Even Microsoft support Linux on their cloud service and have even contributed a great deal of code to the kernel.
They are usually quickly fixed but not quickly updated by end users. That's the problem with all OSes. The advantage of OSS is that you have the option of fixing it yourself if the software creator doesn't.
How portable will your desktop app be? How easy to deploy to 10000 users? How quickly can you turn round a layout problem? There's a reason why Web apps are popular - they're using a piece of middleware that is on every system. It looks like mobile apps are where you want to be. Tied into one platform and far less convenient to deploy any changes.
Many people might if the chances of being caught and punished were the same as being arrested for ripping a DVD. I would certainly copy a Ferrari if the tech existed.
It might not take off in the US but luckily for TV manufacturers they can sell to people all around the world. My bandwidth is 80/20 uncapped which can easily handle 4K streaming.
As if being a computer nerd is in any way a cultural expectation for a man. Men are expected to be strong and confident and good at sport; nerds are usually the target for those men. But then that's the shitty narrative now isn't it. Life on easy mode. What a bunch of pricks the new left are.
This is why you SJW types are going to lose in the end. You want to us white males to rally to your cause but all you do is insult and patronise us and all you have to offer is criticism. Life on easy mode my arse. Go tell that to the homeless whites, the poor whites, the whites that suffer from mental illness. You want to win the argument? How about giving a shit about men committing suicide in record numbers as a starting point. How about recognising that everyone has problems and not marginalising a single group based on their genitalia and skin colour (see the irony?)
VB lives on in.NET although it looks like it might finally be dropped in vNext. Silverlight was dropped because technology moved on but is still supported for another 5 years.
The interface is a pretty major part of the OS. Expecting people to modify their workflow for Microsoft's marketing department was always going to fail when the previous OS does exactly what the users want. The underpinnings of Windows 8 are better than 7 but the interface gets in your way more than I should.
In the UK we have tax funded health care and a thriving private insurance market. They compete by a combination of cherry picking and providing faster access to care. The private ISPs could compete by providing better service to those willing to pay. At the moment they are private monopolies (or duopolies) which is the worst of both worlds.

It's depressing how relevant and topical RATM's lyrics are today.
I'm not buying anything "engineered for maximum funness". Now get off my lawn.

Which communist countries haven't had the idea of a customer?
And yet Windows XP refuses to die.

Most people spell it as viola which always makes me chuckle.
That was actually the Star Trek the Motion Picture but I'll not demand your geek card on the grounds that it was pretty forgettable.
How dare they require that laws be obeyed! Damn commies!
So Google should get off scot free with breaking the law because "Apple do it too"?

Who was it who decided to outsource to poor people who could sell that information for more than they earn in a month.
