Jobs in these areas are glamorous - they seem exciting and adventurous, but in reality they are extremely boring and needlessly dangerous. If that's not enough, you'll feel socially excluded because you're not a soldier in a place where almost everyone else is and you're disconnected from "real life" where civilians like yourself thrive. On top of all that, working in rigid bureaucratic organizations like the armed forces can drive people up the wall. You'll feel like you're immersed in stupid. Watch Generation Kill for a very credible illustration of that.
Zeilberger is known for crediting his computer "Shalosh B. Ekhad" as a co-author ("Shalosh" and "Ekhad" mean "Three" and "One" in Hebrew respectively, referring to the AT&T 3B1 model).
The majority of Apple marketing, both in time and money, is product placement - showing Apple products in the hands of characters in TV series and movies. It's all about the perception that everyone uses it (or at least everyone that matters).
That's what I'm talking right there. In the US, it's so natural for common people to be arrested. "I've had friends arrested" is not something you hear outside the US from a regular guy unless he's in organized crime. "I got arrested" is not something you hear from someone in the same levity as "I had a flat tire". Outside the US, being arrested is a big deal and the police doesn't arrest people for petty stuff.
You think this drunk guy was rationally weighing the consequences of him dialing 911 and concluding to himself that the punishment is not that harsh so he'll just do it?
The true absurdity of this story is that in the US non-violent drunk people are being arrested for petty stuff like that. Fine the guy and be done with it.
This reminds me of a joke I read here in a thread about whether pre-med students should study organic chemistry:
A college physics professor was explaining a concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him.
"Why do we have to learn this stuff?" he blurted out.
"To save lives," the professor responded before continuing the lecture.
A few minutes later the student spoke up again. "Wait-- how does physics save lives?"
The professor responded. "By keeping idiots out of medical school."
I thought the 21st century is going to be the century of mass unemployment too, until I read Bill Gates take on the subject:
As there is progress, which is partly advances in technology, in a certain sense the world gets richer. That is, the things we do that use a lot of resources and time can be done more efficiently. So people wonder, Will there be jobs? Will there be things to do? Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do. And as society gets richer, we can choose to allocate the resources in a way that gives people the incentive to go out and do those unfinished jobs.

Why not do as Louis does? Cut out the useless middleman and link directly to his statement.
If you're depressed, staying on Facebook may not be the best course of action.

In summary, don't do it.

A little bit pretentious of them, isn't it? Wolfram will fit right in.

If hybrid cars are safer because they're heavier, it's misleading saying that hybrid is safer. It should be said that heavier is safer.
Apple makes quality PR.

Learn Clojure with the help of Project Euler. After years of programming that made me feel like a grey bureaucrat, those two got me excited again.
Sigh...

This submission feels like pure PR for a book or two.
