We don't have to "Talk soft and carry a big stick" anymore, we can offer our troops to the UN for UN decisions. But like all the veto powers on the UN Security Council, we have an irrational fear of giving up our sovereignty to a deliberately-crippled global "government".
I think there are enough examples in history to prove that appeasement does not work. Russia Ascendant is not the doomsday scenario we may have believed it was during the Cold War, but no country, not even a UN Security Council veto power, gets to unilaterally occupy another member of the UN.
How to design a solution on my own time before I code a solution on company time.
Though I inevitably unconsciously think about work code during non-work time, I will never consciously spend time thinking about or working on work code during non-work time.
They are paying for my brain, they can pay me to sit and think for a while. The actual typing of code is not what programming is.
I honestly don't think I can break 80wpm. My bottleneck in programming is not how fast I can type, or how efficient my vim-fu, but how fast I can think, and how fast I can mentally develop the solution (reading documentation, drawing conclusions, and finally writing as little code as I possibly can).
Every software becomes legacy software the minute it is released. Once you enter a real-world scenario, you need to change and write workarounds for real-world problems.
A new version is a chance to build a better base that handles the real-world problems more smoothly, but it is also an opportunity to forget the lessons those workarounds were written for.
It's more, I should not go into someone else's home, leave my stuff there, and when a legally-dubious thing happens to be in my stuff in their house, I should not expect them to simply let it go (considering that a lot of legally-dubious things have clauses about "conspiracy" and "required to report").
That's what the Government should be for, doing things that are necessary but not profitable. What happens when government is privatized for efficiency?
I believe that act would fall afoul of the Geneva Conventions and be considered a War Crime. Uwe Boll skirts the law based on pathetic notions such as "free speech" and "free expression." Purposely inflicting Uwe Boll on people is torture and will be punished appropriately (unlike the US treatment of suspected terrorists).
Having just read The Forever War last week (and then Old Man's War, and now Forever Free), I agree wholeheartedly. That is a book that could do well on-screen (provided it doesn't turn into Starship Troopers).
I also do not have a degree, though I'm at year 13, and I've learned those lessons you said earning your degree taught you. It is good that you learned those lessons, but your conclusion is specious bordering on elitist.
I do have a large gap in knowledge. I made a great leap over a mountain of theory and low-level practice that I must fill in, but I (lucky for me) didn't need college to teach me humility and how to be receptive to learning (even when I "know" I'm right). The more I fill in that gap, the more I realize exactly how big that gap is, and strangely, the gap grows as it fills.
The point being: Though a university degree is how you reached... well... enlightenment, there are many paths. And if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.

Wasn't that how Fallout's nuclear war started? China invades Alaska. World ends.
No, they haven't. Not since government and bureaucracy was invented, things have not changed.

You don't do what someone tells you to just because they have a gun, or a nuke, pointed at your head. That's letting the terrorists win.

So, live your entire life as though you're going to get fired tomorrow. Sounds like real fun.
Have you been to the internet? Do you think anything is off limits?
This and only this kind of thinking will get us out of our current, sustained political quagmire.

I'm assuming this is a joke, because a lot of people cannot afford to just up and move because they don't like what a utility company is doing.
Neither one trips many environmental triggers, except the steady stream of self-indulgent bullshit that both produce.

You'd need to get rid of copyright too, which the GPL uses to enforce its provisions.
Whiskey?

No, and that is a ludicrous analogy.

I work with one, but technically they aren't in academia anymore. Perhaps he didn't give off enough of that vibe.

Oh god. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Or am I crying so hard I'm laughing?

For 0-day exploits, we need -1-day patches.

Amen. Deckard had the Voigt-Kampf test performed on him. He is demonstrably _not_ a replicant (if you trust the Voigt-Kampf test, of course).

Well, not that shocked.
