Well, yes, kind of. The Afghans, the Pakis, and the Taliban should be permitted to live in the tenth century, if they so wish. They should be permitted to keep their women barefoot and pregnant, and serving the men.
Right, because as human beings, we have no responsibility to defend the human rights of those oppressed women.
Nah, racism/discrimination are and always have been applied to those who treat an entire group of people as if they are all the same. For example, just because the average IQ of blacks in America is factually lower than whites does not mean you're not racist if you assume that the current black person you are dealing with is unintelligent as a result, and you're definitely discriminating if you don't hire them for a job for that reason.
Nah, it's just that they shouldn't be specialists in understanding the peculiarities of different DBs. If they were, they'd be DBAs. You (literally) can't be an expert in everything. There's too much to learn in a human lifetime.
This is exactly why anyone in their right minds puts some sort of ORM/query layer in front of their database so that their mid-tier/front-end code has no knowledge of what the sql looks like.
You should think about how to change your work culture. Where I work, helping out a coworker is job #2. (And job #1 is handling a customer emergency. I last had to help out with job #1 over 4 years ago).
Code review can be that, but doesn't have to be. For example, at my place of work, code review results aren't documented, and can't be brought up during personnel review. The purpose of code review is quality (for us).
I remember the outrage I felt when I received my first spam in ~88 I think. I replied with a torrent of foul language (I was still young then), and hoped that would be the end of that (I was still young then).
Let's see, contribute to the creation of a superbug, or wash my fucking socks? Decisions, decisions...
You have socks just for fucking?
You don't?
Just what I was thinking. If you're at all competent at sex, you gotta have the non-slip pads for traction, and most people would last longer (/more times) with a thick sock due to the blood pressure advantages.
I can't see what the impediment there is. It seems like there could be a lot of relatively simple modifications of the cell wall structure that would block alcohol. Why couldn't a bug by chance develop a plastic coating? Plastics are chemically pretty simple, resist alcohol, and can be made from stuff available to bugs.
No, of course it can't scale. Neither can oil, or any other option. Not a single one of them will be workable when our population reaches a quintillion.
There's no precedent in operation here, that's not the kind of court case this is. Plus, settlements out of court hold up surprisingly poorly as precedents.
Isn't that the whole point of having a patent system at all? So that your competitors can't just steal your ideas and undersell you to drive you out of business?

In 2 years ago the price between 120hz and 60hz displays will be so small that the holdup is the 3d circuitry, not the refresh capabilities.
I certainly agree that whether or not we can is an entirely different ball of wax than if we should.
They can keep the parts won in wars of defense then?
Yeah, you somehow feel that native americans, having driven the US population out couldn't make a legit claim for that being ok?

That's right. By allowing your specialists to specialize, you do improve performance.

Well, at least in the insurance industry it looks like they're all wising up and getting off of SAP/Accenture these days.
I'm confused why you're modded funny rather than informative.
I don't really understand what is bad about this. Facebook is this big of a site and it seems to work great.
Have you actually seen facebook?
Trollishly stated, but oh so true.

That system only works if you never exceed 50% douchebags, which can be a big problem at any company experiencing sustained growth.

Why don't your automated tests test the GUI? Not testing the UI with automation is crazy.

Most men's 9-12 socks will cover a guinea pig almost perfectly.

So, Santorum then.
