Two wrongs does not make a right. Kosovo is still not recognized as an independent nation by most of the world. Including countries in the EU. Plus the Ukraine is a *lot* bigger than Kosovo.
They mine the plutonium out of Chernobyl and separate it with PUREX then they make the nukes. Or just make a 'dirty bomb' with chunks of Chernobyl radioactive waste. They have rockets to launch the material if they want to. Ukraine still manufactures Tsyklon aka R-36.
you should also know that that portion of the country is hugely ethnic Russian, and strongly in favor of Russian rule
Sudetenland redux. Perhaps parts of New York should secede from the US and join Israel. Or parts of Chechnya could split from... oh nevermind.
Crimea has a lot of Russians because it has a Russian military base in there.
The old government in Kiev was corrupt, and needed to go. The president had signed an agreement and a plan was in place for an orderly transition to a more democratic government. The "revolutionaries" couldn't wait for the indicated time, and basically jumped the gun with a coup.
Sure. Still it is no excuse for invading a country.
Furthermore, the new Ukrainian "government" has really staged a revolution, and hardly can be said to have popular backing. The leaders of the new government are a bunch of thugs, with *strong* ties to neo-Nazi fascism and came to power through violent means.
Allegedly the new Crimean Prime Minister put there by Putin isn't all roses either.
It is just an imperialist power grab pure and simple.
Nah. Its totally bogus. They even had vehicles with Russian Army plates. A lot of them identified themselves as Russian and some units were even identified.
This is just Putin being heavy handed as usual. He did not even bother trying to actually make this an actual covert operation.
Computer languages fade in and out of popularity every single decade. It is not like people stop using those languages but the jobs market turns elsewhere.
The theory at least has remained more or less constant throughout the entire time.
A lot of places have laws like that. The reason is pretty simple. Unrefined crude is worth a lot less than refined oil. Exporting the crude without refining it means a massive loss of revenue for the extracting nation.
Not a problem since you can get a copy off someone else's notebook.
I have been in a lot of chalkboard classes where the teacher simply copied his hand notes to the board and accepted no questions at all during all the class. In fact I had a teacher who was like this the entire semester. If they have a lot in the program to teach you they won't slow down the pace to any humanly comprehensible pace at all.
I used to use Inkscape exclusively. Its great for a lot of things, can do a lot of things Illustrator cannot, but the handling of fonts and color is simply atrocious.
They are restricted because they are used in GPS and similar applications. Even if you are doing dead-reckoning the more precise the clock is the more accurate the results will be. This is unsurprisingly useful in things like munitions. e.g. a nuclear weapon will have a lower CEP if you have more accurate clocks in the system.
Me neither. However the opposite, e.g. working for a consulting company, can be even worse. Just make sure you ask to view the workplace *before* you get on board. If they don't let you view the workplace just don't go work there at all. Avoid.
Get a job in a less stressful software development environment. Not all are like that. Some are particularly bad like game development. Not everything is like that though. If you get a job doing maintenance of a piece of software in a bank, or some other place like that, it can be positively sedating sometimes.
You don't have 'profits' if you had the 'expense' of paying royalties on imaginary property (IP) that is actually 'owned' by an offshore subsidiary of yours. That's what's happening.
Ireland uses territorial taxation, and hence does not levy taxes on income booked at subsidiaries of Irish companies that are outside of the state. In the late 1980s, Apple Inc. was among the pioneers in creating this tax structure.
I guess not. They just siphon all the profits using Hollywood accounting over imaginary property to Ireland and stash them in Bermuda.
Considering the overhead sure it would. The problem with a lot of these projects is the client supposedly does not have the experience in-house to evaluate if the programmers know what they are doing or not. Nor to they know anything about project management. So they get a contract with an established brand name which often just shoves guys fresh out of college with no experience at the job. I'm looking at you Accenture.

Plus Putin had already been carving up pieces of Georgia before this happened.

Who do you think provided the technical expertise for North Korea to design their missiles?
This is called manufacturing a casus belli. It is done quite often.

I still remember the 'spontaneous' Libyan insurgents carrying H&K G36 rifles. That was a riot.
If you knew anything about farming you would know alfafa is use in crop rotation to replenish the nitrogen content of soil. It is a legume.
To me the whole thing reads like yet another article advocating the monoculture of soy and corn. Yes lets make cows diabetic too.

Which is kind of curious to mention. Since speed limits started being enforced all around the world to reduce oil consumption in the 1970s.

s/Interstellar/Intrastellar.
Yes! It is a cute way to describe my next travel to the refrigerator to get some cheese. After all it is Interstellar too.

That is moronic. They don't need to slavishly copy the Adobe UI including the stupidity.
If that happened people would just move the repositories elsewhere. Welcome to the Internet.
Remember separate distro repositories for people in countries with restrictions on strong encryption?

There are highschool educated students doing the job he mentioned. So yes it is too late for him to do that.
While there is good paying work with Microsoft products none of the things he mentioned fits that profile.
