...is a new version of the Amish where they shun all technology developed after, say, 2010. That way I can keep my job as a software developer, but I don't have to learn any of these newfangled technologies.
My experience with ZaReason was really, really poor. The laptop they sent me had some issues (with the mobo, I think) and after a few attempts and fixing it, they stopped responding to my e-mails.
Weeks later, they told me they'd sent the laptop back to the manufacturer -- in other words ZaReason is a reseller and so you're stuck going through them for warranty repairs.
Anyway, 6 weeks after I got the laptop, I just asked for my money back and bought a MacBook Air instead. Could not have been happier with that decision! At least Apple stands behind their products and repairs take a day or two instead of months.

You don't want to be the guy in the back shoveling the coal while the plane does a barrel roll.
Should those nouns be plural?
Which begs the question: will there be a replacement for it? Are there other code search services out there?
If a drone running Windows 98 is destroyed, is it okay to re-use the license key on a new one?
I call it the Jedi phone. Use the 4S, Luke!
Those so-called "fossils" were planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster when he created the universe last Tuesday.
Everyone knows that.
Ok, true. You got me on that one.
Laziness and following best practices are often one and the same.
VirtualBox is open source. Instead of name-calling and whining, how about fixing the underlying problem?
Yes, that's normal.
And yes, you should find a new job. Do you want to become a lazy programmer, or an excellent one? If it's the latter, you're in the wrong job.
Banks contribute to society, but we're not talking about banks. Not all "financial services" are banks.
Certainly banks existed long before CDOs and other bullshit these guys invented to swindle investors.
Facebook didn't start out that way though. It used to be a slick, yet slightly quirky site for college students to hook up.
If Facebook had launched in today's incarnation, it seems unlikely it would have been a success.
The problem is a financial system built on making enormous amounts of money without contributing to society.
Gee, why wouldn't draconian policies, a confusingly half-baked interface and long load times be the path to a successful website?
WOOOOSH!
Now where am I supposed to keep my ice books?
Select the best photos, and print them. It's cheap, lasts a long time, and you can easily print multiple copies for safekeeping.
This. There's no real "social" aspect to Groupon's core business. It's a company that sells discount gift certificates, that's all there is to it.
This protest has failed to make headlines in the US as well. The only coverage I've seen is on blogs and Slashdot.
The DEVASTATOR. Only at Thrill World!

Or Bob. Good luck calling Microsoft and asking for support after you accidentally moved the fire out of the fireplace and on to the sofa.
...others can copy their strategy?
What is why? It's not like either of those countries have super low taxes or anything.
