The most shocking part of this story is that Juneau, a state capital, is inaccessible by road or rail. Really? There's a state capital that can only be reached by air or water (other than Honolulu of course, but that's on an island)? Who knew?
Great incentive to come into work when you're sick and pass on your disease. I make a point to tell those who work with/for me to stay at home when they aren't feeling well.
"You shouldn't care unless you've got something to hide."
Isn't that line we always hear from these government agencies when it comes to privacy invasions? I can only assume from the outcry that they must have something to hide.
There are certainly games out there with plenty of single-player content. If you aren't interested in the multi-player content, vote with your dollars and don't purchase the multi-player centric games.
That said, it would be nice if more games had both great and extensive single-player content and great multi-player/online content.
Jobs didn't design those products, he merely oversaw those who did. Jonathan Ives (amongst others) deserves much of the design credit. And Ives got most of his design ideas from Dieter Rams, who's designs date back to the 50's. Apple's done very little truly unique over the years -- their primary accomplishments are in marketing.
This article is about consumer products, and this comment clearly should be taken in that context. The typical consumer has never even heard of HP-UX or MPE, let alone possessing the requisite knowledge to judge either of the two. So in this context, yes, both are decidely "chopped liver".
(It also could be argued both are "chopped liver" in any context, but that's a different discussion.)
It's not necessarily a good thing either. "Experienced" developers have a tendency to continue to code in the same way and continue to make the same "mistakes" because "that's the way we've always done it". Infusion of new blood is needed regularly to stir new ideas and uncover unnoticed design flaws. This is not to disparage experienced developers in any way -- there are a lot of positives that come along with experience. It's just ideal to have a good mix of experienced and more youthful developers.
While I don't know how common it is, there are American companies which follow this practice as well. A friend of mine recently received his MBA on the company dime, and he'll have to pay back 100% of the tuition costs if he leaves with one year, and 50% if he leaves within two.

Walk? There's no way this guy can walk anymore, what with the repeated leg breakings and all.
Since we don't know the terms, we can't speculate how it was settled
Actually, since we don't know the terms, all we can do is speculate.

Clearly these folks were associating themselves with this "bimbot" in the name of research.
How in the world could they hope to address this problem without first fully understanding it?
There, fixed that for you.
And here's hoping that one day is today.
And we allowed them to get away with this why?

When did 9-5 become 8-5?
There, fixed that for ya.

After he observed it, it was just a pile of bones and gristle.

I bet it won't be long. I also bet that when I install the update, it will place another stupid Adobe Reader shortcut on my desktop.
Habeas corpus was suspended under G.W. Bush. Obama reinstated it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus_in_the_United_States#cite_note-28/
It's with what you are thinking that matters in this case.
You can't plant more oil.
I don't think it's performance that he was worried about.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. One of the most insightful first posts I've seen in awhile. I've been complaining about this for years!

Nope, he's acknowledging the fact that people of our generation will be very fortunate if we're able to retire by the age of 75.
They are being discriminated against... discriminated against for being dumb. Dumb people are still people, you insensitive clod!
