My wife manages a teen drop-in center. Oh, the crap I hear about... Anyway, their relationships average about a week, and their definition of "trust" is "stay away from the opposite sex or I will go publicly and aggressively crazy." This illustrates a need for classes about how to avoid codependency and what abuse and manipulation in a relationship looks like. But all the middle and high schools are almost solely focused on studying their students up for the standardized tests, so once again, thank Bush for fucking up society.
I didn't say wrong. I said bullshit. Being right by coincidence doesn't make them better, and you'll have a hard time convincing me that predictions at such a long time span are anything but.
The TSA is generating business that is making many congresspersons rich. Think no-bid contracts on backscatter X-ray machines and private prisons. Follow the money.
And this pisses me off to no end. You mean to tell me that I now have to take an increased risk of cancer every time I just want to go home to see my family?
They'd pass a law that said that since the government imposed those restrictions, they need to pay for them. Win-win on the side of them and the government (since they're getting "campaign contributions" through passing the bill), big lose on the side of the taxpayer.
You say you have no vacation time, I say you have unlimited vacation time. Normal companies will bitch out employees for not hitting milestones as well; the difference is that in yours, that's all they care about.
Because you're the one who feels the current system is inadequate. Many of us disagree. Besides, Slashcode is open source and used by many sites, not just Slashdot.
The normal curve I've seen, in multiple places, is that cognitive function takes a sudden nosedive at about age 13, and typically recovers in the mid 20s. I wouldn't call that "cognitive decline" however, perhaps "puberty-induced temporary brain damage" would be more to the point.
My wife, who manages a teen afterschool drop-in center, could probably write an entire book on this phenomenon.
What you're talking about is completely, 100% reasonable (assuming that the problems are both small and non-useful, i.e. that you're not using the candidate for free work).
This article is talking about brain teasers like, "How would you move Mount Fuji?" Those, of course, are dumb (and Google recognized that a long time ago and stopped using them).
Except that I'm 99% certain that Romney will win based on the Republican establishment's preference of him over the others (who are seen as too extreme).
Of course it doesn't work for a one-time service. People aren't going to send a free Letter From Santa and then decide to upgrade; they're only sending it once.

If it's illegal (and it would be) they'd find a way to use Symantec's updates.
Norton Antivirus: De-Crappified, Open Source, Slightly Illegal Edition
Which means the store will refuse the return. What, you think they can't do that?
Fair enough. I also try to avoid using "literally" where something isn't literal, but I'll try to watch my usage here too.
Name a high school teacher in a non-private institution making a six figure salary.

It's like shenanigans but for future predictions beyond the thirty year mark, which are bullshit by definition.

How's the Kool Aid?

The idea is that each chapter should take about an hour, not that you'll read all of them consecutively.

The idea isn't increasing utility, the idea is promoting Google Plus.

So... how about that new design that just popped up? (Go on, hit F5.)

Hell, I'm surprised that PayPal didn't just ask for it to be shipped to them, and then turn around and sell it for another $2500.
php: pros: easy, straightforward, multiplatform cons: practically web-only
I'm obviously a bit biased as a (primarily) PHP developer, but I should point out that PHP isn't completely web-only or dependent on a web server. It's not the best shell scripting language, but it has its uses there too.
We're super, thanks for asking.
