You don't need a war. Financial "catastrophe" also causes compression and a more equal society. We've be much more equal right now if our last 2 presidents hadn't taken up a policy of bailing out the monied elite with our public funds.
RE: "giving one-time cash quantities to people on the brink of homelessness who can demonstrate that they will be able to pay rent by themselves in the future, but who have been afflicted by some nonrecurring crisis, such as a medical bill. Recipients need to be able to demonstrate consistent future income."
Well that's quite a different scenario! And that makes sense. As usual, the article did not mention that.
Seems like almost every "news" source these days tells only half the truth.
My first impression upon reading the summary on/. was: "Wow! I find it hard to believe $1,000 could prevent homelessness for two years, but I want to know more." My second impression, after reading the article was: "Why did the author offer so few details? There's no link to the study and no mention of the sample size." These are red flags. And the study itself is apparently pay to view.
re; cognitive burdem
Yes, exactly. I often add "unnecessary code" (e.g. re-throw a C# ThreadAbortException even though rethrow is the default behavior) just so it's clear to the next developer what's happening. At the very least, for unusual default behavior that cannot be easily explained with code, a comment is the next best thing.
There aren't enough bad words to fully describe how bad C++ is as a programming language. Take every single possible pitfall present in C - and there are may - and then magnify that by bolting a totally kludged class and inheritance structures on top of that.
Go to his manager, show him the pile o'crap and ask him to either light a motivational fire under the senior employee's sorry ass and demand better work or, if that's his best quality work, just fire his sorry ass, send him packing, and hire someone who knows how to code. Seniority does not equal quality.
Since I have a paying job in the software industry, I buy the latest version of what I need. If you're making due on minimum wage and a diet of Ramen noodles and Mountain Dew, this kind of cost-saving exercise might make sense, I guess.
Been there! Every time you have to fix his garbage code, make sure to let management know. Push them to deal with it. It might be as simple as sending him to a basic course in OOP fundamentals - far too many old-school coders have no formal instruction and just don't "get OO" and insist on writing procedural code in OO languages.
Bad OO code is much harder to work with than bad procedural code and management must be made to understand the cost of letting him continue to write bad code. If he still doesn't get it, you could suggest he be moved to architecture or some other team that can use his knowledge and experience while keeping his fingers out of the actual code.
Foxie drops ISTbar.dldr onto your system - yes, even when you visit it with FF and get the alleged Internal Server Error from the site.
Is it possible to edit the text that appears on the/. main page to warn of this?
Not only should the fan be mounted to draw air away from the drive to avoid depositing tribolelectrically charged dust particles on the pc board, cooling the case won't going to do much to cool the internals on most drives.
That why the author saw no temp difference on some drives even though the cases felt cooler.

I can't believe I turned off my ad blocker for that piece of crap article.
ZDNet should hire a spell checker.

Of all the software that tracks your every move to help monetize the time you spend online.

The woman is unable or unwilling to admit what everyone else already knows. This is your next President, folks. No bucks stop on her desk.

Your version of tolerable isn't something you can impose on others in public. You don't like cell phones, wear headphones or earplugs.

I create a non-Administrator account right on my main system and delete it when they leave. Been doing this since XP SP3, with zero infections.

Buy a set of Insanity DVDs and get your butt to the company fitness center 3 or more times a week for 45 minutes, before, during or after work.

You want privacy, do it on your own time, on your own dime.
This is a complete overreaction. NO ONE should be attacked for filing an FOIA request. PERIOD.
