But be careful what you post to Crackbook. I *have* been investigated and questioned for "flaming out" on the Harpercrite in the past.
Yes, they really *do* watch what you say and look for "threats", even if it turns out to be a pissed off Canuck venting about the goobernmint and not an actual gun-wielding bomb-planting terrorist.
Absolutely terrified. Obummer is going to call for a drone strike on a mouthy Canuck when he's got his hands full with *actual* terrorists, drug dealers, and wars.:P
The key to survival in the surveillance world is simple: Never do anything that actually *matters* or is *worthy* of their attention.:D
I have read the text a couple of times. And it clearly states that Muslims are to DEFEND themselves against oppressors without mercy, but to live amongst them in peace if they are not being attacked.
But that doesn't play into the ideology of fanatics, so they conveniently skip those caveats when quoting their text.
Much as Pat Robertson and Westboro Baptist are very selective about their edited "quotes".
Maybe where you're at, but here the nurses have little to no power in Saskatchewan. I've plenty of relatives in the field (including my Mom, a retired nurse), and none of them have ever mentioned anything like "preparing a care plan." Maybe it's different elsewhere, but here it is a job that a monkey could do.
The fundamental issue is one of training and remaining current in your skills. Women, for the most part, will drop out of the workforce for 5-7 years early in their careers to start a family, and try to return to their careers after the kids are in school.
Nursing? Not an issue -- the way you dispense pills and clean a patient doesn't change much in 5-7 years.
Teaching? Not much of an issue. Course materials don't change that fast in education, nor do the modes and styles of teaching.
Programming? HUGE issue. 5-7 years is an eternity in technology. Entire product lines and languages can come and go in that time frame. Anyone who is out of the tech workforce for that long has virtually zero chance of finding a job.
So they don't return to IT, which would require retraining and starting at the bottom because they're now inexperienced juniors. Instead, they enter other workforces and leave tech behind.
"Flamebait" my ass. The perpetual whining about "diversity" in the media is a freakin' JOKE. Heaven forbid I shouldn't kiss the media's ass and those of the uber-liberal "elite" who keep wringing their hands about it.
I do not understand the self-flagellation of the tech world over "diversity."
Where's the bitching about the under-representation of men in nursing and teaching? The demand for more female garbage collectors? Construction workers?
Oh. I get it. It's only "inequality" if it's about a cushy desk job.
It is not "reasonable" to expect a violent response to *words* in a civilized society, no matter how insulted or offended the other person might feel.
The "Pope's buddy" is an asshole as much as the fundamentalist Muslims who shot the magazine people. It's just a matter of degree. "I'm offended" is never justification for violence.
They're right on the money with that one. If anything, keeping the H1B limits low would encourage offshoring to where the resources are. Bringing the resources in to the country is not going to increase offshoring.
Sure you can write readable and maintainable Perl.
But most people don't.
The same is true of PHP. It can be organized and elegant, but I've yet to have to maintain a single PHP or Perl application that didn't take longer to figure out than it would have to just rewrite the damned thing from scratch.
Even Erlang is subject to "experts" using obscure syntax and constructs to save a couple of lines, sacrificing readability and maintainability.
The problem is rarely the language; the problem is "developers" that have never had to maintain someone else's code often enough to understand the value of readability and maintainability.
The "Junior Edition" has never been a "real" dictionary. It's always been a pared down subset of the full dictionary they publish.
Complaining that it doesn't have certain words is like complaining that a Collegiate Dictionary doesn't have all the words that a full dictionary twice the size (or larger) does.
Let's face it: most people live in the urban world nowadays. They're far more likely to run into technology buzzwords than they are parts of nature. To most city dwellers, "nature" never extends beyond a walk in a manicured park.
If a $40 is a make or break cost for someone self-employed, they should get a regular job. Expenses are expenses. They're write-offs. The same for investments.
Seriously, we're worried about a bunch of whiners bitching about less than the cost of a tank of gas -- even with the recent price cuts at the pumps?
Shit. I'm on disability and I still often spend more than that on one meal.
You, sir, generalize a population that comprises something on the order of 20% of the entire planet's population as "must go through a reformation" despite the fact that only a few thousand of them are terrorists. You provide no verifiable or disputable statements in your own post, despite your self-righteous claims that you only respect the opinions of of people who provide their statements in a "falsifiable" fashion.
You are the very stereotype of a bigot and a racist, spewing hatred and bile and inciting people to "do your dirty work" of committing the actual violence against others with your words.
Worse, you completely ignore little details like the Crusades and try to pretend that Islam is unique in it's spewing against gay culture and such things, despite recent statements from the Catholic church.

Requiring fees based on the deployment platform used does not constitute "free" software under any open source definition I have ever read.

Anything you say can and will be used against you, regardless of to whom, when, or why you said it.
You think *they* pay for their air time? *LOL*
As is so often the case, it turns out the whole situation is an over-reaction and bad reporting by the media:

Better a DDOS than murder.

ATI's drivers sucked in the '90s. They sucked in the '00s.
Why, praytell, would we expect them not to suck in the '10s?

"reasonably expect violence" implies that the violence is "reasonable."
It is not.

The "Pope's buddy" is an asshole as much as the fundamentalist Muslims who shot the magazine people. It's just a matter of degree. "I'm offended" is never justification for violence.
I read it as "I'm all for freedom of speech unless you offend me."
Pathetic.
They ALL take bribes. They just euphamistically call them "campaign contributions" to avoid jail time.
Mod parent up.
They're right on the money with that one. If anything, keeping the H1B limits low would encourage offshoring to where the resources are. Bringing the resources in to the country is not going to increase offshoring.
How does allowing people in to a country to work encourage jobs to move out of the country?
That just makes zero sense to me.

Re: PHP
A big steaming pile of crap is still a big steaming pile of crap, no matter how large the pile.
Freedom to be surveilled.
Freedom to be arrested.
Freedom to be jailed.

I despise low life scum such as yourself.
What this world needs less of is you.
