NatasRevol is right. When reputable papers publish stories with factual errors it wouldn't be unusual for someone to lose a job. Even my college newspaper had a "one screwup" policy. On the next one you were gone.
Wow, there's nothing like a story about swearing to show the maturity of the typical Sashdotter. I guess it's time to head over to YouTube for some truly insightful comments.
That's not insightful. That's stupid. I regularly go through my entire work day without swearing. Swearing is for people with no imagination or poor command of the language.
Until you need the power of regular expressions. Then Perl starts looking pretty clean again.
Also, it's easy to write bad looking Python. Just use the same naming convention for variables, methods and objects. That is the first thing I encountered coming on to maintain my first Python script.
For crying out loud. My post was only four short sentences, one of them being about NOT attributing the quote to anyone specific. Please try to read to the end next time before you get in such a hurry to post some contrarian nonsense.
Quite possibly. However, that does not detract from the wisdom of it. Just leave off the quotation marks and keep using it. It's a warning worthy of perpetuation.
As much as you think Apple is making the developers make twice as much. Apples app store is not perfect but it was a huge breakthrough for so many developers. Stealing apps isn't hurting Apple as much as it is developers.
"Also, don't you find it ironic that OWS is so heavily staffed by children of privilege like those two?"
No. The investment banker takedown of our economy put lots and lots of middle to upper middle class people out of work. Besides, what is your point? That children of privilege should not care about the country? Or that children of privilege are trying to overthrow the government?
The real conspiracy is that OWS got labeled as a bunch of dirty hippies when in fact they were regular people who were fed up, and the whole country should have been behind them.
"Tweaked troopers could run afoul of international law..."
This happens fairly often already. Are they saying it would be much worse? Also, what is the scenario for having these mutants here in our own country?
OWS was about holding the financial goons responsible for wrecking our economy. The FBI, et. al. was about cracking down on legitimate dissent, and that is unconstitutional.
I only recently updated to iOS 6 with the Apple maps. It certainly seems fine to me; faster than Google maps was. I was unaware that the Apple maps simply did not work at all when it first came out. Or perhaps you're just exaggerating.
Yes, the initial Apple maps was a bit of a black eye. But the response to it was amazing. From the headlines I was sure that the civilized world was coming to an end. Cats and dogs sleeping together, etc.
"weather channel is now part of nbc / comcast so they have the funds to launch a satellite."
Not likely to happen until the company is forced to upgrade because they're losing customers. In the meantime the extra money will go for CEO and managerial bonuses.

Precisely.
Tinnitus.

i.e. it stops maturing.
There's no need to malign idiots.
Two.
That was my point. You missed it.
Indeed. It is amazing the amount of prosperity that a 13% flat tax has generated for Russia. If you're already an oligarch.

"Do you believe that if the CIA actually lost, or had to recall an agent, that they would advertise that fact? "
They would if it was politically expedient.
"Bringing in morals is exactly what brings down a discussion"
Whoa. Please stay as far from me as possible. And the rest of the human race for that matter. We can do without more sociopathy.

Well, yeah, they're all in the bars.

That's the real astroturfing going on here.

It's probably no worse than it is for atheists in the US.

Not so different from corporations in the end. No matter what it's all about power.
