"Correlation does not imply causation" is said in every topic that has any type of statistics. So while this may have been the first post about it in this topic, its quite redundant.
Its like that in a lot of bigger cities. My brother never locked his doors when he lived in Las Vegas for the same reason. No point in having to also buy a new window when something got stolen.
As long as the rendering engine is seperate from anything related to the network, saving/loading files/etc it is fine. However I have a hunch that the browser and the engine are tightly coupled.
You stated it yourself, things (and by things I mean built-in windows apps) are built on undocumented behavior making it almost impossible to replicate.
The dependency on a specific library isn't the problem here, its the dependency on apps/libraries that are developed with way too much intimate knowledge of the OS.
I'm curious to know what type of day to day development would gain benefit from flash over just getting some more ram since it seems the files are stored locally anyway instead of being on a shared resource.
I can definitely see googling someone to find specific information about their race (so you can reject them before a face to face), religion or other specific characteristics / behaviors. Nazi was fairly obviously an exaggeration.
Yes but would you reject a tenant simply because you saw a picture on the internet with them drinking? Or perhaps a picture of them drinking in college 10 years ago?
Rejecting someone with alcohol on their breath is quite a bit more valid than the other.
I'm curious, why would internet behavior of someone with a certain name affect your hiring decision? You know that multiple people can have the same name/username and you know that a lot of people will have multiple personas (meaning you are judging perhaps only a small minority with this category).
For example do you really think your Warhammer Online posts are relevant to your job?
In their case, appearance is relevant to the job. Not hiring a VS girl with a tattoo (assuming they do this) seems to me like not hiring someone for a C job when all they know is Python (they can learn it but you have another candidate that already knows C).
Not hiring a programmer because a tattoo would be pretty silly though.
Sometimes its a loss, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it is only a short term loss.
A US citizen who will probably return to the US will probably be a short-term loss with a long-term gain. A foreign citizen may bring American ideals to their home country which, barring obesity, is probably a good thing. They may also spread a view of Americans that isn't from Jerry Springer.
The issue in the US though is instead of going into development of high-tech fields, Americans have been going into management of those fields. In my biased opinion in general becoming a generic MBA is easier than engineering/science so if eng/sci is being filled by immigrants, natives will go the other route. When the immigrants leave with all our IP all we are left with is paper pushers.
We (meaning America) needs to start churning out more home-grown techies. We still want to encourage immigration though.
Actually I didn't interpret raehl's post specifically in value/dollar. The reason it doesn't really work here is we are talking about the smart creative people, something that is more (in my opinion) than simply doing a job.
Yes someone could do my "job" for less money but I believe I put more into it than simply fulfilling some basic requirements. So instead of money, I compete on qualifications and ability. If I cannot compete with a foreigner then I either need to apply to a different/less job or get more education.
The problem is that money is often a factor, immigrants will work for less until they are established here, which is where a lot of the resentment comes from that I have seen.
Actually it seems one of the rare cases when it is correct to use quotation marks to emphasize something you disagree with.
Authors Guild implies its a guild of every type of author (book, movie, law, computer program). This would be different than something like the Screen Actor's Guild.

"If this works does that mean we'll have clean energy without radioactive byproducts? "
Thats the idea.
And red does not equal stop sign. If people (people who actually do statistics) thought they were the same then it would be causation coefficient.

The correlation coefficient is simply a tool.
Yeah, there are like twice as many now.
3 strikes unless you are in government or your family is in the music exec business (not the music business).
In addition today there are real alternatives (OSS) that people are willing to explore.
"no one ever got fired for buying ibm" no longer applies like it did even 5 years ago.
Force Majeure absolutely covers worldwide economic disasters.
For some reason I was reminded of The Office when Michael "declared bankruptcy".

I would feel like I should work with those people to get a bigger slice of the pie.
I never had heard about Boxee and this type of thing (I had used Hulu before however) until Hulu/content producers got all crazy.
Not sure where you expect to get this citation from, but it seems pretty obvious if you are on the internet that ever movie is cammed.
I hate those red dots so so much. Even before I knew what they were for I could see them. One more reason for me to skip the theater.

Appeasement is not positive.
