You say that as if you didn't know that T rex showed an affinity for subtle plaids, especially in its eveningwear. Heck, I thought even amateur paleontologists knew that!
And it's a shame that all of the content mentioned sucked, usually also containing misused apostrophes and poor grammar. Because that's the important thing - not what fucking tool you use to gin up the graphics.
This is the main reason people hate scrum - the awful boredom and lack of humor in it's promoters. You take a great joke, let it woosh over your head, suck the life out of it and think you''ve added to the debate. Here's a hint - you haven't.
It's not a win-win for the employer. Overqualified people tend to leave once they find a job they're actually qualified for. Along the way, they tend to complain about the "shit jobs" they're in. Hiring overqualified individuals doesn't usually work out very well.
We used GI algorithms back in the 80's in checkers for had-routed cell-based IC's - we checked see if the connection graph of the routed chip matched the netlist of the circuit. It did find errors, but was very slow back then.
You are limited to places like Australia & Canada which aren't known for their cheap labour.
Which is what it's really always about, isn't it? Despite all your whining about "unavailable people". It's still all about "unavailable at the price I want to pay".
Would your nations money [sic] in the hands of a company located in a country which provides you no recourse against criminal activities taken against you so long as they can provide some convoluted logic as to how they're helping you?
...in all fairness, getting off the mainframe is very VERY difficult...
Yeah, man, I had a friend once who was mainframing really, really heavy. He tried to go cold turkey, you know? He had such withdrawal symptoms, he almost died. Still couldn't kick. So he was back mainframin' the worst stuff you could find - CICS, JCL, RPG for God's sake!! Finally his friends did an intervention, got him into a substitution program, and rehab. He's doing UNIX maintenance now. It cost a lot and he says he doesn't get the same high as when he was "ridin' the 'frame" but the crash isn't as hard either. Goes to 12-step meetings and everything.
It would not seem prudent that one should be significantly altering neurochemistry during periods of high levels of neuroplasticity. On the other hand, we've been altering our own neurochemistry for entertainment purposes forever. As such, I'm sort of meh on the whole thing. We all do chemicals each day - even if it's only by ingesting food, water, and air.
I doubt good (and, yes, there are a lot of good ones out there, if you actually look) doctors are handing out SSRI's like candy to kids. When they do, it's usually at the urging of a mental health counsellor and with prodding from parents. As such, it's not prescribed that much (in this age range). It's not like it's Methylphenidate (whose overprescription, in my opinion, is a much bigger issue).
Because programming is far simpler than even basic algebra.
OK. I guess in your world, it is. Please tell us where this amazing world exists. In my world, programming is a slog. And there's enough trivia to know that anyone who could learn it all would do much better memorizing world capitals and becoming the next Ken Jennings on Jepoardy! But that's my world.
In case you didn't notice, this post contains sarcasm.
Good luck at taking the "accidental" out of languages, let alone quirks out of frameworks. A marvelous goal, but the trick is in actually doing it. Make sure to have any fixes backwards compatible (or have a way to automatically upgrade existing code), too, because all of those amateur programmers still don't want you to fuck over their code when you fix what you think is an accident or a quirk.
Why should Britain worry about this? The US has all the nukes it needs to deter and/or punish the other countries having them and last I checked, both the US and UK were in this little organization called NATO. Do you really think the US wouldn't retaliate if Russia or China (or especially Pakistan) nuked Europe? Or do you want first strike capability "just in case" if in 500 years NATO falls apart? I'd think we'd have anti-matter bombs by then.
You ever try to use them? Compared with even prosumer-grade DAWs (like Reaper, Sonar, Cubase, ProTools, etc.), the functionality and built-ins just aren't there. Hell, just getting normal audio hardware up and running on Linux is usually a nightmare, let alone dealing with things that don't exist on Linux at all (like a driver for my MOTU 24i/o audio interface unit). And try finding any sort of expandable audio interface that has a Linux driver... you won't. Hell, some vendors don't even have Windows drivers (Apogee, I'm looking at you).
Actually, for some people, the winter season around the mountains and minor cultural things like Sundance would be all they need. Besides, U of U has a pretty good med school as far as research goes - I'd tend to think they'd know them some pathogens.
If you relocated about 90% of the indigenous religious folk, SLC might be a decent place to live.

I'm thinking more like Keanu Reeves.

Sorry - only a near rhyme and using a near-synonym, too. Lousy lyric...

Thanks, but I already bank in the US.
Yeah! We're number 16! We're number 16!
American exceptionalism for the "win"...
Yeah, it's a computer that has wheels!

I just turn them on and off the old-fashioned way, with caffeine and alcohol.

OK, ProTools there, but hardware units like RADAR and actual tape decks count, too.
Well, maybe, especially if you don't bother counting...

That you have a pretty low bar for "wonderful"?
How long until resistance is developed? Or how does this drug prevent it?

Do women programmer's live in their dad's basement?
Well, if it tracks the male programming population, probably only about 90% or so of 'em.
Yes, that was a joke... Now you know why I don't make them often.
No... trolling is an Encarta, I think?
