I don't care about managers that don't have strong tech skills and want to learn, what bothers me are the arrogant PHB's who pull everything out of their ass... It's really as simple as that. But sadly, there are just too many managers who rely on bullshit to get by.
You're a loony. What in my statement "If you're going to quote someone, keep the quotes in context" disagrees with your statement about misquoting excerpts from a report?
You fucking idiot. If you're going to quote someone, keep the quotes in context. The context of GWB's quotes are entirely different than what you make them out to be.
game is finished only when the entire board is covered
Actually, the game is finished when both players pass and agree to end. It's actually quite rare for the entire board to be filled. Most games I play (with people equal in skill to me) end up with each player using ~150 of the 180 (or 181 for black) total stones available. against advanced players, the game usually ends before even a third of the stones are played.
out of curiosity, how big is it for the game of "go" (eg. also called weiqi, igo, baduk). I actually have been getting into go a lot the last couple of months and am finding it fascintating. I'd be interested in learning how big the decision tree is for go.
I agree with the second half of that statement: both c#, vb.net are based on IL and for all purposes, the same. but as far as "syntatic sugar", hasn't vb always been that? =)
do you imply that our jobs should be our life? or rather, that our jobs should enable us to live our life? If I have to spend my entire life learning new skills, this leaves precious little time for the important things in life.
Hey good call. Put them in prison and let the taxpayers bear the cost!
Yeah, I'll bet you really thought that one through, didn't you?
And disseminate the fine amongst the victims? Well let's see. At a conservative million emails per spammer, that would work out to a half-p per "victim".
Psst.. Corporations dont care about exploring Uranus, they care about profits
Are you kidding? Corporations are all about anal exploration. I gotta bend over and take it from The Man every time I get my measly paycheck. And to them, it's all about profits...
You can get a tourist visa to visit most any place in the world. I went to China earlier this year. But those visas don't allow you to work.
Yea, you'll need a worker's visa for that. I actually was confronted by someone over there because of that, and who seemed rather upset. I was working on a project in Shenzhen; he wanted to know what I was doing that a Chinese citizen couldn't. Well, in the big picture nothing, but my company did have reasons for sending me there. Still, I could see where he was coming from. Jobs are scarce in China, and a lot of the Jr Programmers making $400/yr had PhDs.
Interesting post. Agree re: authors having several purposes. There is no doubt that Tolkien being Catholic influenced his thinking about the origins of good and evil, rather than a lot of his generation (who had seen evil we can never imagine in WWI) who were unable to believe in God after their experience, and leaned toward irony/nihilism to explain evil. hmmm, now i'm wondering if this reply makes sense..but it's late and I'm ready to leave the office so what the heck =)
(2) Lord of the Rings is a fundamentally Catholic work (sorry if I sound to some like I'm not being humble. I'm quoting Tolkein when I say that.) That is, it goes back to orthodox Christianity Did Tolkien really say that? I thought I remember while reading h.c.'s bio on Tolkien that the book was essentially an entire mythology created by Tolkien for England.
All mythologies and religions share a lot of elements in common, but Tolkien's Middle Earth had a lot more in common with the Norse legends then it did with Christianity, imho.

well, we're not really a developing country like the others mentioned in this article are. I think the term "stagnating country" is the mot juste.

So just shut the fuck up already, all right?

if this were ever mandated as law, it would just be another incentive for employers to outsource work to India, China, etc.

that's going to happen whether we balance our lives out or not.
Or rather ...
Lancelot: Look, my liege!

King Arthur: Spamelot!
Sir Galahad: Spamelot!
Lancelot: Spamelot!
Patsy: It's only a musical.
King Arthur: Shh!

I would be very happy. I for one, would welcome our new Chinese Martian Overlords.

Except Australia, they'll just get radioactive fallout and nuclear winter
then we'll have to live on the beach

But then again, if Tolkien said it . .
Damn...that's what I thought of too. Can't believe there's this many other people who loved those books as well.
You can also say that nuclear weapons don't kill people, people do. Obviously, society needs to draw a line somewhere
Okay, let's draw the line between nukes and guns. I'm fine with that.
