I think the word you're looking for here isn't "brief case," it's "purse."
I've personally caved and admitted to this being the case. My wife asks where I left my wallet, and I respond "It's in my pocketbook." I always feel rather womanly when I take my keys out. Still, it's too damned convenient for me to care.
I had a "poster is a moron" moment when I read the question.
What about programming in COBOL (or any other language) stops you from using Object Oriented Methods or Extreme Programming? Those ARE general design principles and/or approaches to programming.
Remember ignorance is not a valid excuse for breaking the law.
IANAL... but that said, AFAIK: Ignorance *of the law* is not a valid excuse for breaking it. I doubt he was ignorant of the law. Ignorance of the ramifications of your actions is a variety of excuse. It still leaves you open to anything that is negligence related (I won't even try to speculate as to his potential degree of exposure in that realm). A very large number of statutes have the words 'knowingly and willingly' or other words to that effect in them. He's off the hook for any of those.
I checked out this article just see if anyone complained about the usage of 'deconstruction'. This discussion is somewhat outside of what I had anticipated. Also, I've never played Rez, and now I'm scared to.
A friend of mine wanted to look up a "Dick's Sporting Goods" store, and without really thinking had typed 'dicks.com' into his browser. He looked at it (the text, just the text, he hadn't hit enter) for a moment and decided to try the whole phrase in Google instead.
Also, if you haven't gone back through the thread, other posters have pointed out a number of things I had either not realized or completely forgotten about.
You still need (and will, for the foreseeable future) a real appraiser. Looking up neighborhood appraisals online can give you a ballpark figure, but it can't account for the specifics of your house. What condition is it in? How big is the kitchen/yard? What work have you done? And a million other questions to ask.
They'll also tell you something slightly different than an appraisal: What they think someone will pay for it.
IANAR, but from what I understand, you're paying for the advertising for the most part.
You'll get much more traffic from potential purchasers with a realtor (ff spellcheck wants me to capitalize realtor. It also wants a space between 'spell' and 'check'). You also probably, but not definitely get someone who has a better concept of what you can reasonably get for the house. They can also show the house off to prospective buyers when you have somewhere else to be. I do know (anecdotally) though that you can get good agents and terrible ones, much like any other profession.
I don't know on average how much longer it may take to sell a house compared to how much you have to pay the realtor, but it seems to dominate the my local market.
This BTW is all from the seller's perspective. For the buyer, you pay nothing, the seller is the one paying the realtor's fees. At least in theory. What actually happens is that the realtor's fees end up being built into the asking price for the house. I don't know where you are, but where I am if you restricted yourself only to houses listed by owner, you'd have access to a miniscule portion of the market (as in less than 5% at best).
Had a similar situation once. We provided the access alongside the condition "if you can't make sense of the data, then you should be using the reports we already wrote."
I dug up an excerpt after my previous post. Bradbury doesn't mention speed, although he does use the phrase 'jet cars'. My gut impression is that he had a decent idea of how fast it would take for a billboard to be blurred.
Not to mention that's what has been offered if Myanmar wants strictly money. The US would rather put army and/or navy people on the ground to help, and the actual cost of doing that will probably be well in excess of $3M.
You deal with different people in different ways (obviously). It's not just a matter of what kind of aggression level they have, it's also (if anything, moreso) a matter of where they stand in relation to you in that company.
You've got a few main categories: 1. Peers 2. Someone who works for you 3. Someone who works for one of your peers 4. Your boss 5. People your boss reports to 6. People who are senior to you but you don't actually work for (eg, Client Services Manager or some such)
In all cases though, there are a few guidelines. First, don't ever let the tone and content get condescending. Don't fight fire with fire, simply refuse to even discuss the issue unless they're willing to treat you with respect. This holds true for just about any of the relationships. Obviously you'll have cases where if you don't get a paycheck your kids don't eat, and then you take all kinds of shit if you have to, but that aside, don't let anyone abuse you, even if they own the company.
Second, be good at what you do. When people frequently need to come to you for help, they tend to be much more forgiving when things are your fault.

I've always understood the word malware to encompass actively malicious software. Bloat is annoying, a keylogger is malicious.
Would you put up with having to pay to receive emails?
It costs me about the same to send and receive email. The email itself is free, but I pay for the bandwidth. In both directions.
I once rented a Fjord Fjocus.

Of the 4 dissenting voices, only one was appointed by a Democrat - Thomas.
Bush Sr. is a democrat?
The four dissenting voices were appointed by Reagan, Bush I, and two by Bush II.

NPR gives you a map you can play with yourself.
I don't need a map from NPR for that.

Damn right, it's all the drugs!
Did you name yourself after the beer or is it just how you describe yourself to others?

That sounds like it would probably work, but I don't think I could do it without laughing.
That might change if I've been on hold for an hour though...
Good to know I'm appreciated :)

...culminating in the expose of Love Canal.
I just thought that piece should be repeated separate from everything else.

I dug up an excerpt after my previous post. Bradbury doesn't mention speed, although he does use the phrase 'jet cars'. My gut impression is that he had a decent idea of how fast it would take for a billboard to be blurred.
I always had the impression that the speed limits in F451 were probably in excess of 400 mph.
Weren't the signs completely unintelligible to people standing on the ground?
And, speaking from experience, billboards seen at 90mph are about the same as billboards seen from a stationary position.
Not to mention that's what has been offered if Myanmar wants strictly money. The US would rather put army and/or navy people on the ground to help, and the actual cost of doing that will probably be well in excess of $3M.
Until I fall off a ladder and break my arm. No genetic predisposition for that.

That's about all I got right now.
I have definitely worked with people who possessed negative programming skills.
I have not found them to be rare.
or "Glib Stale", which are two wonderfully negative words separately, and one rather nonsensical jumble together.
