Most likely they're confused about Sponsored posts appearing in their News Feed. Most of the time when I see posts from things I don't agree with they've been posts that were bought and paid for to appear in my feed. As I live in Florida and I've marked myself as an independent, I get both Romney and Obama posts in my feed even though I haven't "liked" either one. The worst are the local election ones that aren't as professional and look like some random spam bot or virus posting political crap.
Traitorous to whom, exactly? If you're speaking of the US, he'd need to have been loyal to the US first. If an American started spilling North Korean state secrets, he wouldn't be a traitor to North Korea if he was never there and had never had loyalty.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a decent Word Processor that uses LaTex. I've seen wonderful LaTex programs that will allow someone who knows LaTex to very easily make documents (and by far is some of the best Open Source user-space programming I've seen), but I've not seen a LaTex Word Processor that will do things like...allow multiple line returns.
For someone who doesn't know LaTex and hasn't completely bought into the hype, getting into LaTex is actually pretty difficult. Trying to convince someone who doesn't know why the pain-in-the-ass word processor is better than Word or Open Office is even more difficult because the benefits don't outweigh the amount of effort it takes to learn it.
Really? The Google paranoia is pretty heavy around here and is completely unnecessary. If you're not going to bother to become informed, you should avoid telling the world how uninformed you are.
SCRUM is extremely useful if followed correctly, and I would not dismiss a fully functional SCRUM team's effectiveness. However, I've seen SCRUM used as a crutch by a dysfunctional management team that was using the hype of SCRUM and the effectiveness of SCRUM as an excuse to blame the coders when the project wasn't doing well (because of poor direction).
Design patterns seem similar to SCRUM in that, when used correctly and effectively (as an algorithm reference, not coding with strict adherence to specific models) they can greatly enhance a programmer's effectiveness. Stories (above and below) about multi-hour arguments regarding which pattern name best fits a scenario and obeying known patterns to the exclusion of good design seem to be improper uses and abuses of design patterns and are similar to improper uses and abuses of SCRUM. That you haven't come across these abuses doesn't mean they don't exist - just that you've been with good programmers who have understood how they were supposed to be used.
So it's a bit like SCRUM. Cult-like with some good gems, generally not taught in academic circles, treated as a silver bullet to solve all problems by non-coders, and ultimately useless unless its used as intended, which it generally isn't.
Oddly, I've never come across the concept of Object Oriented Design Patterns with specific names, nor have I heard of this book or the previous version before today. Are these patterns and their specific names commonly laid out across multiple titles that every junior programmer should come across, or are they esoteric and specific to the people who have read these books?
They're currently highly backordered (to the point that they're limiting how many people can order and in what quantities at one time). I just ordered mine today, and I was on the waiting list since the official launch. The delivery time said ~3 weeks.
If you don't want your email and password to be harvested by anyone with a computer and a little bit of knowledge, then I suggest not putting your password out in plain text over an open wifi connection where it can be seen from the street, in public.
It's a bit like writing your password and email address in lemon juice on a sign in your front yard and then getting indignant when someone knows to read it when it's hot outside.
I don't know why people seem to be so paranoid that Google is some nefarious organization unless they have an agenda to push. They weren't specifically trying to gather email and passwords - they were trying to use the data (read: mac and IP addresses) to make the maps better.
Not in the US. Around here, road tests are done on public roads and highways. The only "closed course" tests I've seen have been during the driver education class.
I think it may have something to do with cops legally able to supervise an unlicensed driver during a road test. Usually as part of receiving a driver's license. You should probably get that paranoia checked out, though.
I suspect everyone, except maybe some true psychopaths, eventually feels the need to find a way to excuse their behavior as morally commendable, or at least permissible.
I think you've hit the nail on the head already. People with psychopathic tendencies are more prevalent than you might think, and they tend to rise quickly within corporate structures if they're highly functioning. Morals are a liability for these people and they do what they can to suppress them if they do have them.
Perry was a rebranding of the Bush 3.0 robot, but the code rewrite for Bush 2.0 introduced several bugs in the language synthesizer module that still weren't fixed in the Bush 3.0 version.
As the Bush 2.0 model once said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
Because you had to set the wallpaper to something with Internet Explorer. They wanted the background to be a solid blue. Typically, I would set the wallpaper using Internet Explorer to remove the offending image and then set it to blue afterwords.
....or the crippleware my high school used on Windows 98 to prevent unauthorized users from modifying anything. Except, it allowed the user to set the wallpaper from Internet Explorer, but not the display console.
Fun ensued when the students set the goatse man as the wallpaper and the teachers couldn't change it because they didn't have the password.
I quickly learned that the password was stored in plain text in the registry (that I could view, but not edit) and would change the wallpaper back to a blank background.
No it isn't. If you're in an industry where you're frobbing splutniks, you would expect developers to understand why splutniks need frobbing or else they should talk with someone to find out why they need frobbing. That way, through cross-training, you can understand the concept behind frobbing and are better able to utilize it in your code. In addition, a and b are horrible variable names and don't explain what they are and should provide insight into what is involved with the frobbing processes even if you don't know exactly what frobbing is.
On the other hand, if you're in an industry where you're not commonly frobbing splutniks, you might explain why this splutnik needs frobbing or when you're being clever (such as inside the frobbing algorithm) or non-obvious to someone within the industry. A good rule of thumb might be if your project manager or supervisor can read the code and understand what it's doing.
I got this! I'm a world class programmer and I deserve the senior programmer position. I'll prove it to you by showing you my certificate that I received from CodeAdacemy!
g++ certificate.cpp -o certificate.out certificate.cpp: In function "int main()": certificate.cpp:3:1: error: "printf" was not declared in this scope certificate.cpp:3:7: error: expected ";" before ")" token
Wait, that didn't work. Give me a second.
ruby certificate.rb certificate.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting tASSOC printf)"Hello World! I am now a Software Developer\n"); certificate.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting $end printf)"Hello World! I am now a Software Developer\n");
I don't understand. What do these errors mean? Why isn't my certificate of completion printing? I'm a programmer now, right? Right?

You're assuming that they're going to court. They don't have to go to court. They just threaten to sue and then settle out of court.

Or if they believe you they will think you're anti-social and not a team player and will not hire you.
All hail our glorious friend the Computer, savior of mankind!

Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be easy to port it to a modern web framework like COBOL on Cogs
Oddly, so are bananas under the right conditions.
Honestly, he should be more afraid of a truck full of bananas. http://xkcd.com/radiation/
