What do you mean taboo? Pick up any magazine in the supermarket checkout and you'll find a frank and earnest discussion about sexual technique.
Take a close look at, say, Victoria's Secret catalog. There are usually several pictures of women wearing transparent bras or tops, etc. Look carefully. You don't see a NIPPLE! It must be seen, the thing is practically transparent. But you don't see it, there is no circle of darker skin, everything is rosy.
What do you call this? They retouche the pictures in order to eliminate a NIPPLE! This is just SO ridiculous, it's beyong my comprehension.
I'm not even starting on oral sex being illegal in half of the states...
NeXT 48x48 icons (well, the slots in dock were 64x64, but the picture took 48x48) were things of beauty. NeXT system icons were masterpieces. I can not look at Win screen ugly incomprehensible pictures.
Yes, there is a truth in your words. I guess I just think in a different way. I know that for me the best way to (find a bug, write a complicated piece) is to go home, switch off all the thoughts about a problem and start fresh in the morning. Staying up 16 hours NEVER helped me. I tired it when I was young enough, I see other guys doing it. For majority it does not work.
Yes, I'm sure there are some completely dedicated people for whom it's just pure fun for all 16 hours stretch. I believe this is rather an exception. Normal good quality work is done by people who sleep at night.
Don't you see? The people here are supposed to be smarter than average and still most of the opinions here are downright stupid and shortsighted. Yes, the mankind could use some improvement.
I'm an H1-B worker. Yes, I'm underpaid. Yes, the world is not fair. Didn't you know that?
You came here from miserable undeveloper countries. You are lucky that you have high education and necessary skills to come to US. You have no future at home. You still are better off in US. Stop whining. These 2-3-4 years will pass, you get your green card and then you kiss your slavemaster goodbye and get your high salary.
It's that simple. If you whine and stir the pot they (US Government) will close this hole too. Now it's next to impossible to immigrate to US as it is, you got your chance - don't spoil it for others.

I bet you it CAN run on x86. The beta did.
Apple is not releasing x86 version because they are afraid of you-know-who (they need Office)

Nah! People who spend 16 hours a day coding are just not good enough. If you can not event manage your time you are not a good programmer.
I do everything I told to do it 1/2 of the assigned time. I eat pizza may be once a month. In a noce restaurant.
And I'm female!
