I can understand that UPS / Fedex failed to predict their full load. It's too bad, but part of life.
What really surprises me is that they didn't have a system in place that (a) detected when they were at risk of having too many order to keep their QoS commitments, and (b) warning prospective customers that they might not get a prospective order delivered by Christmas.
As a manager in IT, I used to go out of my way to hire attractive women in CS, but they are just super rare. They hardly exist, and the smart ones are very expensive.
Perhaps because they make kick-ass salepeople. An attractive woman completely jams a male's ability to negotiate properly.
Show me one example where coding is sexist or racist. When I say an example, show me syntax, I program in C, C++, PHP, ASM, PERL, PYHTON, BASH, SH, a variety of web languages and other desktop languages. I have yet to see syntax which is racist or sexist.
Just a few off the top of my head...
The most popular languages tell the computer what to do, rather than start a discussion.
In parallel programming, you just launch a bunch of threads, and expect them to somehow get the program's work done while your main code goes off and does something else. Seriously... threads? What is this, an 18th century homestead with the woman up all night sewing???
Pointers. With all due respect to Freud, do we really believe a pointer is just a pointer?
If you can't see what's wrong with treating models as objects, I just can't help you.
I don't have any point to make with what I'm about to say (seriously). But your point strangely reminds me of the debate about sending former American slaves back to the countries from which they or their ancestors were first taken.
I assume the chimps will be immediately subject to prosecution for bestiality, paedophilia (they apparently start giving birth around 13-14 years), and failure to file tax returns.
Or if they're found to be incompetent to function in human society, they could become wards of the state, I suppose. Of course, then they'd need lots of prescription meds to control their behavior. Which, fortunately, have all been animal-tested.
I just assumed that anyone writing Java code would use Eclipse as their first choice. (But I'm not an expert Java coder.) Is there some reason to want to use KDevelop rather than Eclipse when coding Java?
I could be wrong, but I suspect that even if you had the means to teach for free, you'd find most public school systems to be so depressing you'd quite within two years.
It seems that because of (a) students who don't want to be there, (b) students whose parents require nothing of them, and (c) the ravages of No Child Left Behind, very little actual teaching gets done in public schools.
Brown University used to not issue grades to students. I sometimes wonder if starting to issue grades was a mistake. Yes, it's motivational, but it can also distract from serious thought and reflection.
Having only recently started to use Oracle, and based on those experiences, I'm pretty sure that 90% of all cancer cases in the U.S. can be blamed on Oracle.

Right. Because name-calling will resolve the question about whether or not there's a God.
Because it's only simulated drowning.
Would do +1 insightful if I hadn't already posted a comment.

The problem is what QT isn't web scale!

Wha...?
If our government commits an illegal act, who is able to enforce it?
Dunno. Coastguard?
But who guards the Coastguard?
Pirates!
To be fair, starting 12 years ago, two cities in the northeast of the U.S. have had some pretty heinous mass-destructions.
Ooh, good call!
A good case could be made for electing them to Congress.

Very well written. Thanks.

Most Democrats?
In a land of a million laws, we're all criminals. The most any of us can hope for is that prosecution is "unlikely".
Another reasonable approach from might be to task, "How does our service need to change, in order for our own employees to want to use it?"
Real classy. Sexism and a genetic fallacy in a single three-word phrase. Bravo.
You're begging the question, I believe.
Because 151/2 is 75.5. Sheesh, let the dude retire already.
