    +1 C/C++ aren't going anywhere and its tough to find good C/C++ coders. they have good opportunities in silicon valley and financial sector. and embedded systems aren't sexy, but not going anywhere.

  4. Re:Burnout is accelerated by incompetency... on Employee Burnout Is a Problem with the Company, Not the Person (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    the talentless people who rise through the ranks are the ones who have never made a mistake... because they have never produced anything. people who are busy are too busy to curry favor. don't have time to BS with the boss and can be blamed when things go wrong because they are the one responsible for the system. if you never build anything, you never get blamed

    >Americans love money, and growth, and power. hence the need for a business friendly budget. business friendly? huh? >Americans are terrified of the rest of the world, hence more insane defense spending. speak for yourself, Americans have no experience of the rest of the world - its just too far away and you have to cross oceans. >Americans make a lot of noise about the environment, but don't actually do anything about it, hence cutting spending on such projects. my elementary school aged children recycle, pick up litter. >So Americans, go look in the mirror and consider that this budget, as a nation, reflects you. Maybe not the individual you, but the group. no. no it does not.. retired boomers maybe. >And not just the right, or the left. Not just Dems or reps. This is how the whole world sees you all, as a nation. this is partly true. this is now the world sees our government. but in my personal experience people believe in American democracy and ask, "how can the american people let their president do this?"

  9. we're number NaN

  10. DNA testing cannot possibly be quantitatively correlated to the mass ratio content of any sampled substance. i'm not saying its all chicken, just that the test is irrelevant. and salt has no DNA.
