Yes, yes, we are all jealous of America, the finest and most powerful nation God ever created.
Are you quite finished masturbing yet?
Maybe you should provide some proof with your claims of having "the most advanced nation in the world with the highest quality of living". You also have more people that are suffering and homeless, and whatnot, than some other countries.
The only thing advanced about the USA is its military.
He got arrested for breaking a US law in Russia! Hello? Hello? Am i the only one who sees this? I have yet to read one article in news media which mentions this. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills!
... but really, what you have to do is tell the boss:
"I'm sorry boss, i love you and all, but i'm the engineer here, and decisions like these are none of your business. If you're sure it would be done better without pthreads, then fine, code up a testcase, and we'll see."
I have also been reading the news on this site for about two years, and i have noticed that some users that would be happy to get first post aren't quick enough. Instead they reply to the first post with something just as meaningless...
I installed Bugzilla at work, because i was tired of people putting post-its on my screen and mentioning bugs at coffee-break.
To get people to use it, i had to turn into a bitchy hard-ass. Whenever someone had a bug they wanted fixed i went "Have you entered it in the Bugzilla? No? Then i don't know anything about it." In short, i refused to fix any bug unless it was entered into the bugzilla.
Now, i was in a position where i was able to do this without the risk of getting fired. (Although i felt a little uncertain about this at times... especially when my boss claimed it was too much work for him to be bothered to use the bugzilla, when he could just talk directly to me. )
Of course, once people got used to Bugzilla, they started liking it. After all, in the end it's about making it easier for everyone to obtain information and do useful work. You just have to get over the acceptance threshold. Unfortunately, a bit of forcing is required to change the ways people work, and not everyone is in the position to do this.
