I have eaten raw beef before and raw chicken and fish too.
Caution: raw beef and raw fish are probably not that dangerous. Raw chicken stands a nontrivial chance of killing you stone dead. I knew someone who's dead because he cut his hand while preparing chicken to eat.
I have a 40 year old, very senior engineering fried working on his Law degree. Most of us will need to think like him soon.
Oh thank fucking God we're going to have more lawyers. What a relief.
I notice no one's mentioning nursing school. There's going to be a shortage of nurses for years and years to come. You really want job security, get an RN.
This is why the callcentre staff all have pretend European names, and are given classes in the vernacular of whichever locale they deal with (at least in the best call centres).
Why are companies going to keep paying the "best callcenters?" They're over there to cut costs anyway. A cheap callcenter will do.
He also sucks. I read Strong Medicine,Wheels and Airport in high school. He's clearly done a lot of research, but his characterizations are paper-thin and his dialogue's terrible.
I can't tell you how depressing it is for me to hear a guy from the same country as Doestoevski describe Arthur Hailey as "American literature." We can do better than that, man, I swear. Go read James Ellroy.
Worse, if you want to work at certain companies, you aren't free to not be in the union. (Like for instance, a local grocery store in Canton, OH.)
This statement is a lie. Ohio is a "right-to-work" state, meaning that union membership may not be made a condition of employment.
Unions and management may, by mutual agreement, require all that all employees' paychecks have union dues removed, but this is not the same as union membership. Also, note that it's the employer doing this to you -- not a union.
The justification usually given for this is that all employees benefit from the union's bargaining, and should therefore pay. I don't happen to agree, but it's a contractual arrangement and it's legal as sea salt.

they are in fact trying to increase their alleged damages by not allowing the infringing developers to fix the problem.
A problem occurs to me, here. Would a court find that the warning that "Linux contains infringing code" is sufficient to anyone distributing Linux in any way? Would a court find that the appropriate response for all Linux distributors is to immediately cease distributing it?
That's an awful wide swath, of course; among other things, it means TiVo has to stop selling their flagship product. (Sole product?) But is that a possibility? That a court would find that Red Hat, SuSE, Sharp, Mandrake, et al. should have just stopped?
That's right. Oddly, that's the second time in the past week that I've made that mistake and been corrected. I think it's something I mistakenly heard when I was very young, and it's always stuck.
While the popular depiction of Einstein is as a genial old man with wild gray hair, I'd argue that most of his best work was accomplished by the age of 36.
Briefly: Einstein is in the audience at a physics conference. The attendee next to him suddenly pulls out a small notebook, jots something down, and replaces it. Einstein asks, "What's that for?"
The other attendee replies, "I carry that in case I have an idea, so I can write it down and not forget it.
Einstein nods thoughtfully and says, "I see. Something like that wouldn't help me, of course. I have only had one or two ideas in my entire life."
In the middle ages people weren't very interestes in mathematics

You neglect the contributions of the Arabic and Indian mathematicians at your peril. There's a reason they call them "Arabic numerals," and the word "algebra" comes from the Latin mistransliteration of the Arabic mathematician who first wrote a dicourse on it.
A century ago, mathematics was primarily a new field.
More precisely, there were many new fields within mathematics to explore. However, there was already quite a large body of existing knowledge. It's just that it was about as much as a sophomore engineering student knows(give or take).
Now, as the article says, you are a graduate student -- and probably not a new graduate student -- before you're even looking at other people's cutting-edge work, let alone doing your own.
I think he was of average attractiveness, although I'm not a good judge of such things in my fellow heterosexual males. He was plying his trade in bars in a college town -- that helped immensely.
Any guy who would ask every girl at a party "Would you sleep with me?" based on a theory that 0.1% would say yes is pretty much a poster child for geekness.
I knew a guy who did that. He actually had, probably, better success rates than 0.1% with it.
How many 'software' engineers in Texas are willing to put their reputations on the line (and stand up to civil lawsuits) if they have made a coding mistake??
People always bring this up, and it always make me think the same thing: you couldn't sue a medieval "barber" if he made you sicker rather than better with his regimen of "bleeding" and leeches. But you can sue a doctor for malpractice if he accidentally leaves a sponge in you. Is software "engineering" at an analogous level of maturity?

When you think about it like that, you see at least one reason for employers to oppose socialized medicine/universal healthcare/your spin goes here.

- For all members of the group "young people," none can do hard math.
- I am in the group "young people" and can do hard math.
- The proposition is disproved; there exist members of the group "young people" who can do hard math.

I fired up XEmacs to check -- M-x wordstar-mode is still there.
