Selecting candidates from a broader range of experiences and viewpoints adds value to a company by allowing it to create a product that appeals to a larger portion of consumers. In this regard, the most technically qualified candidate may have equal or less value than a less qualified candidate who can lend a different perspective to development.
Dilbert’s user interface design is an amusing example of monoculture and the need for diversity. (If you haven’t seen a terrible UI, consider taking some design classes.)
At first I didn't see the "g" in the Google variation, it looked like an abstract 3-color blobs on the left. André's, I think, is much better; simple, clear and instantly recognizable.
That's a good one: no tv/videogames/computer in the bedroom. But there really isn't any replacement for just being there, talking to them and knowing what's going on in their life.
My parents let me taste beer and wine but they had bad taste in both, so I grew up thinking they were awful. Let your kids taste the nastiest, bitterest stuff you can find.;^)
It is happening: in the States, is a "check" a mark next to an item (only one of its meanings), or a "cheque" as a bank draft? A real-world example is if you wish for a simple method to distinguish a "check" cheque from "checkbox" or "checked" in raw HTML.
I argue the opposite of this. Different meanings of words should have different spellings. A practical use is as a stepping stone to machine parsing of sentence meaning; you could remove the logic required to determine which "check" was being referred to and concentrate on tone, e.g. sarcasm vs. serious.
Why does the article talk about engineering the human for what seems like manual labor rather than fixing a few things and greatly enlarging brain size/processing/logic capacity? Add an extra eye or two, making them independent and segment the brain to be able to take in multiple data streams better. Or create a dedicated patch of brain cells designed for easy human-computer interface. We could add a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense. Think doctors who could smell viruses, firefighters who could see in infrared, polititians with prosthetic souls and dedicated ethics A.I.. Are they designing a human to watch reality tv 24x7 while doing a factory job?
I have a particularly nice version controlling the lighting on my bed. One of its scenes is set to fade up from 0% to 100% over 13 minutes (its maximum fade time).
Yep, I'm familiar with the glacial pace and red tape of education. But I'm also familiar with 60-70 hour salaried workweeks in the corporate world. I picked freedom over money and have few regrets.
I second this. You can learn OpenBSD's pf firewall well in about a week. Get started here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ . A 600 MHz PIII, 256 MB RAM, 4 GB HD, is plenty for 4 to 6 100 Mbit NICs on 32-bit PCI; if you have higher bandwidth needs you might put the money into a machine with 64-bit PCI or PCI-E and Gigabit NICs.
You made the point for me, thank you. That bit of news made me want to scream.
It's like trying to make a balanced exhibit between the Earth is round and the Earth is flat. Or "blanced" political reporting between the right-wing republican party and the centrist democrats (where did the left go?).
Do a periodic test restore to make sure your backups are working.
That's an important part, and might give you some indication if your backup tapes aren't as durable as you think they are. We just had a backup failure situation even though we had done periodic testing. Guess the tape had a few too many passes on it (our bean counter tries to limit our tape budget).

a channel that was completely unrelated to that type of music
This is too often my experience with Pandora.

I think you mean Tartarus, as Hades is where souls go who are neither good nor bad.
Google will only follow published links; afaik they aren't fuzzing URLs yet.
Oh... I do use command-`, lots, but haven't stumbled on that one yet. That's neat, thanks for the tip.

We could probably save money by combining those safe transport pods into groups and call it "public transportation".

Oh, wow, I was just going to post and say that stuff helps a little. Although not enough to warrant the risk of my eyesight.

You can now get a roll of 50 Velcro cable ties. I think Home Depot is carrying them for about $5, they're great! Part # 90924, I think.

Lightwave 3D is nice, especially if you can manage an educational discount. For a straight, very inexpensive, modeler, try Silo from nevercenter.com.
