Nothing is ever "finished". That said Minecraft is finished enough to have a huge fan base, and enough people content with it and willing to pay for it as it is.
It only says that the government of the country in question, like all governments, does not prioritize what is important, and goes after random targets, as the political wind blows.
Samsung does nothing in China differently from other companies. More likely than not someone forgot to pay that month's bribe.
In Brazil (and in US) things are considerably better regarding working conditions, but the idea of random government targets for audits and fines and their relation to bribes (or lack thereof) still apply.
Oh yes we are. We are talking about the control of information. We are talking about giving to a few the control over what we could repeat, express or comment about. The same laws that allow for blockades against warez sites allow for blockades against any site that breaks copyright in any way, no matter how marginal or subjective that may be, and it is not a novelty or a rarity to see people using copyright to attempt to block ideas they do not wish to spread.
But it is the same thing. This IS political censorship. In both places censorship tries to block what is against the law. In both places people use programs to get around it because they don't agree with those laws.
You mean this specific solution? Because they had the idea just now. They have been evading and routing around censorship for all these 10 years, though.
Your idea leads to putting in management everybody that has any potential and leave just the incompetent ones doing the work, and that is why you need so much people to do so little these days...
But that doesn't have to happen, and as long as you convince the interviewer that a lack of desire for leadership doesn't have to correlate with a lack of desire for work, you should be OK.
Unfortunately it is far from OK. Refusing a position of leadership almost always means earning less. Leadership is important, but so is technical work. The problem is not in giving value to the former, but in giving far more value to it that to the latter.
Exactly. Bad as they may be, they are far better without US intervention. See all those countries US "helped" to free from tyranny in the last decades for reference.
Technically being brittle means that when the material is taken above what would be its yielding limit and into the plastic strain zone, it doesn't yield anymore. It ruptures.
The only real assurance is not a vague definition of "good people in power". There is no such thing. The only solution that does not end in a police state is demanding transparency and constant inspection of their actions.
I doubt that there are biomarkers for "violence". What can be are biomarker for aggressiveness, which is necessary trait for mankind, if you don't want to turn it into a mass of apathetic zombies.
It not being "sold" to desktops certainly isn't because of anything the Kernel development team is doing, my friend. the kernel we are talking about is in more than 50% of every piece of microprocessed equipment out there.
Except for the possibility to apply Occam's Razor, yes I am. But I see now that it became ambiguous. By "you" in the last sentence I mean "someone", not you specifically. Sorry for the confusion.
It is not because YOU think it doesn't serve any purpose that it does not. Your arrogance is only second to your simple-mindedness, my friend. Being 100% direct many times involve what you call "abusing" people.
But the fact is, the entire list is not composed of idiotic politically correct assholes. It is composed of people that actually prefer an environment where people can say whatever they want.
Occam Razor is not exactly a law of physics, do you know? And even if it was it is related to explaining causes of specific phenomena not to explaining complex social systems. Einstein have a very good quote about this: "Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, But Not Simpler.".
Oversimplifying models is a recipe to catastrophic failure, as you will find out sooner or later with your attitude. Good luck!
Nope, but it is something that works, unlike many other projects led by more polite people. Therefore I couldn't care less if his behavior is helpful, harmful or neutral to his success. It is irrelevant. You don't mess with something that is working unless you have a very good motive to do so.
If you think that your cause it is a worthy one, you are always free to become a martyr, but do not come crying "unfair" in the end. It makes your worthy cause seem like a child's tantrum.
Hello, Anonymous Coward! I behave exactly like that in the workplace and I am doing very well, thank you, even though I may hurt your delicate feelings sometimes. Fortunately not all the world has turned into a politically correct hell yet. There are still some nice oasis of sanity. I am touched by your worrying about me, though.

That only means you are able to see it now. US wasn't purer or better 13 years ago, nor China was more wicked.

$360 a year for a smartphone data plan
If you spend something around U$20K yearly in your credit cards you pay U$600 for this privilege, my friend.

It does not.
Nope, I don't like Obama either. And I do agree that he screwed things up pretty badly, and that he is no better than Bush.
I am sorry if I wasn't clear about it. I just said he was "nicer", in the sense of being more polite. You misunderstood me.

I am pretty sure that is your opinion, Mr. Nobody.

Please, don't be pathetic and disgruntled because other people are doing better than you. It is pitiful.
