I can tell you one reason based on a conversation I had with 2 doctors. Medical professionals are almost apprehensive about giving "unnecessary" information to patients because it leads to problematic self-diagnosing. Say there's an article in Time about a new disease. They then seen a spike of people coming it with timesmagazinitis, and if patients get fixated on some notion of what they might have, it makes it harder to get accurate information from them; e.g. "I have timesmagazinitis, so the fact that I ate rat poison should be of no concern to my doctor."
BS, I've been in the workforce for 15 years in IT and I just returned to college for a CS degree. The idea that you can pick up a well rounded education on the job needs to be buried. On the job, you're learning what your employer needs you to know. And, if you haven't been exposed to theory, instructed in some math disciplines, and given a basic understanding on the foundations of IT tech, you're always going to have gaping holes in your knowledge or you're going to find yourself rebuilding the wheel because you had no idea was a state engine was (ask me about that one!).
What I've learned coming back to school is how much I didn't know I didn't know!
The welfare baby mamas driving Cadillacs stereotype was a myth manufactured by Reagan to get mostly Christian Americans to bury they're sympathies for the poor, allowing public services to be cut.
You know who we have to thank for those student loan bankruptcy laws? Doctors and lawyers. Before the law, they'd rack up debt for their advanced schooling, then declare bankruptcy to wipe the books clean and live cash only on their 6-7 figure salaries until the 7 years were up.
OK, I don't know you but I'm calling bullshit on any university on the planet having 44 people on staff in a diversity office. Maybe they serve on some board a couple times a month at most.
The summary quote is about people rationalizing pirating content because "corporate America is evil." And, here they are posting rants with that exact sentiment. If two wrongs make a right, then stream on!
That's not entirely the modern problem. We had relations relatively stabilized under Clinton. When Bush II adopted the PNAC world view, severed our relations with NK and Iran, declared his axis of evil, then scaled his foreign policy based on access to nuclear weapons, that basically told every two-bit dictator on the planet that a nuclear arsenal is "U.S. Invasion"-bane. That completely contradicted the message we've been trying to communicate to 3rd world countries for 50 years; nuclear weapons are expensive, hard to secure, dangerous, incite regional arms races, and an irreversible strategic choice.
The new mantra (as perceived around the world) is the US wants nukes and doesn't want you to have them just in case we want to change your leadership. This is all a part of the horrible damage to our image that probably won't ever be righted.
Lots of execs can code (e.g. my boss). It's after the company goes public and the corporate bureaucrats start running things that you get the elevated accountants and managers running the show.
I'm not a networking guy, but I'm pretty sure the legitimate hackers are using leap frogging through zombied machines to attack you. So, how you know that you're at the original hacker's machine(s) and not another innocent zombie?
That's because, up until the Shuttle went under, anyone who was friendly with us could get a ride with us without building a manned space program on their own.
The VCs never want to tell you what they're looking for because, just like the banks used to do with secret credit ratings, they're afraid you might tailor your message to woo them. Back in the DotCom days when my boss was trying to expand the company, he could never get funding to expand in spite of owning a very profitable business. What he'd hear by milking the underlings, off to the side of meetings, was that something about his pitch made them think he was merely trying to sell the company.
I don't think he ever figured out what it was, but there are apparently flags VCs are looking for (and in our case it was false).
Politicians eventually end up consulting "industry experts" (read that as corporate representatives) for advice/bribes to help craft the legislation. Then, we end up with a watered down or punched-full-of-loopholes version of a great idea. We're a full blown fascist government now. There simply aren't enough politicians willing to give up the power and post-Congress paybacks to make something like this happen.
Did you ever play WoW when it first came out? Same thing with long stretches of down time until they got the bugs worked out. Back then, an outage for a few hours seemed like an eternity due to my withdrawal symptoms.
Have you played Diablo 3? It has single player mode as well as multiplayer. And, even in single player mode you still might want to sell loot you can't use to other players.
I love the idea of leaving these illegal prosecutions on the books. It seems to inspire a false sense of closure when people are posthumously pardoned. About the only time it's tangibly relevant is when someone has a conviction on their records that blocks opportunities like employment.
The mouth-breathers see "NPR" and have flooded every forum on the internet with their ass-hate "libtard yuck-yuck" comments. It's a great show, more for entertainment value than anything. Oh yeah, and NPR listeners are bar none the most well-informed news consumers in this country.
My local station plays the show at 7 or 8 Wednesday nights which is when I usually catch it.
Well, not every rat can detect mines so you've got to factor in training. Hard to believe the time invested training the rat doesn't exceed a ~$50 GPS beacon.
Haven't read article, but if you know what the rock is made of, you probably know what the mud was made of. Then, you can probably estimate impression depth on a scale with viscosity.

That makes no sense. Raising rates will eliminate good and bad applicants.

Especially if they're wearing trashy Frank Frazetta outfits.

Five thousand years and they still haven't figured out that cats are jerks.
It's just going to bounce off a glass wall with leds wired into it.

oops supposed to be "ass hat"; not even sure what ass-hate would be!

Thankfully, we have a Microcenter in the area. It's more computer-centric, but that's usually what I'm shopping for.
