They really think that because they "paid their dues" to the system that the system needs to stay in place forever. Their disgust is reserved for new entrants who don't understand how the system "needs" to work.
Insist that they order a car to your specs. You'll have to wait but I know people who regularly do it with Audis and VWs. I almost did for my last car but they found one 10 hours away that was almost exactly what I wanted so I opted not to wait the 6-8 weeks. At least in Canada, I haven't found a VW or Audi dealer who won't place a factory order with fewer options than anything on their lot.
Are there actually STEM spaces going unfilled that could be filled with lower tuition? I paid higher tuition in engineering than programs considered non-professional but there were more applicants for engineering positions than spots available. Lowering my tuition instead of raising it wouldn't have created 1 more grad from the program. Actually, the labs & class space for new engineering programs came partly out of the additional tuition. Raising tuition didn't discourage students from applying and there are if anything more applicants for newer cost-recovery programs, though that might be due to PR & flashy names.
People don't power sailboats with purely green energy either. It's possible though difficult to put on enough solar to not need to use the engine for power generation (navigation equipment, refrigeration, lights, etc.). You're not going to get enough power for propulsion in port or low wind. You can't coat the decks in solar panels, even if they were more rugged, since you need good traction on deck and an arch can only hold a few panels. Plus the sails cast large shadows. Wind generators don't do much below 15 knots of wind. Tow generators supposedly work well but only while you're moving and they reduce your speed. Even if you could generate enough power, you'd need a monstrous battery bank to be able to accept it. Boats may be more efficient per mile than planes but they're not totally clean.
You can get an anti-glare screen on a 15" MacBook Pro. My 2 year old Mac hasn't slowed down though I did drop extra RAM in for running Photoshop and Adobe Flash Builder (which took all of 10 minutes, mostly to get the little screws out). My previous windows machine at 2 years old was nearly unusable. If you want to upgrade batteries, RAM, HDs, just buy a non-retina MacBook. If you want a retina screen, there are sacrifices to be made with current technology but Mac is your only option.
The iOS simulator is much faster than the Android emulator, because the iOS SDK is implemented for both iOS devices and OS X. It would be much more difficult to implement the iOS SDK on Windows or Linux where the OS doesn't share 80% of the same APIs.
Please don't develop apps without test devices. And on Android you'll probably need a few. You may happen to already have an Android phone but others happen to already have a Mac.
When you work in a crappy company, stuff like cake day just becomes ironic. I could deal with crappy jobs that just were crappy but if they were talking themselves up and doing a bunch of team building stuff, management came off as clueless and deluded about the actual problems. The more clueless management seems, the more time I spent looking for a new gig. If it got bad enough, I quit and figured it wouldn't take much to find something better.
Actual things can be more motivating than cash due to salience. Unless you're Scrooge McDuck, just have a bunch of money to rub against your body isn't as motivating as imagining the vacation you'll take to a specific destination or the BBQ you'll win. Caveat: most of the research on motivating employees using cash vs salient rewards was done with people working in places like call centers with clear metrics that are easy to measure and personal.
I could see the pregnancy excuse meaning something when it was typical for people to stay in jobs for decades. With more job hopping now, I find it hard to believe that you can realistically expect any interview candidate to still be at your company in 2-5 years, regardless of gender. There are a lot of reasons employees leave and while pregnancy may be the reason for some women, it's not like men don't ever leave.
Willingness or skill in negotiation doesn't explain the study results: People got essentially different opening offers based on gender. So even if the women were able to negotiate up as much (in $ or %) as the men, they'd still be making less. Negotiation may explain some of the difference in actual salaries but the TFA shows it's not the only factor.
So she cannot speak without it, yet it begs to ask: "How did you speak before your iphone?" iphones haven't been around forever... what would you have done if it never existed... what did you do?
Kids like this either found the thousands of dollars for a custom hardware solution or used paper words and photos, which are much less portable (if you want anywhere near the vocabulary available in an AAC). Or they just went through life with a significantly reduced ability to communicate, which is incredibly frustrating for them and their caregivers.
Depends on why the kid isn't speaking. My brother is severely autistic and mostly non-verbal. There's an iPad app (not the one in TFA) that he will consistently use to answer simple questions (yes/no or picking an option from a set). Without the app, his vocabulary and ability to express himself are much more limited. He couldn't have learned ASL any easier than speaking, in fact, it would be much more difficult to teach to him given that he barely understands any facial expressions or body language.
oh.. well if SOCIETY says so, it must be right.. my bad. A society made up of majorities who can't be bothered to learn to drive well in the first place. yeah fuck you. I want to take away your insurance and MAKE you drive 'naked' on the road.. maybe then you'll get the fuck off your cellphones, leave the sex for the bedroom, and keep away from drugs while on the road. Then, if you hit someone, you'll be really fucked instead of making the rest of us pay for your ineptitude.
Because not being "required" to have health insurance has made Americans the most health and safety conscious people in the world? Driving without insurance wouldn't change people's behavior much.
I'd point out the balance in gender back when computers were first breaking out. However, I think how popular portrayals of male programmers is irrelevant, and they're almost exclusively -male programmers- portrayed. I can think of a few female examples, but they're usually comical.
I've known and worked with a number of highly competent female programmers. Very few had CS degrees. They tended to have taken engineering or similar degrees, same as a lot of male programmers (though proportionately fewer women took CS). A lack of women in CS programs doesn't mean there needs to be a lack of women in commercial development.

Glad that worked out for you. It is odd that Apple says to add contractors to the client's license for App Store distribution but not for B2B: https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/enrollment.html
But your clients could buy Enterprise licenses. You could help them with that as part of the sale.
Have your clients buy Enterprise licenses?

So true. I'd rather get a computer or docs for my costs than paying MS $700 because click-once sucks and VS Express only does click-once installs.

I took drafting in engineering ~10 years ago (in Canada). It was half hand sketching and half CAD.
No, we will generalize it to "vaccines don't always work".
Then you're not "most people".

Do you mean after the men came back from war? Because Grace Hopper et al were pretty happy with the industry until it acquired more aspects of traditionally male office hierarchy http://knol.google.com/k/the-decline-of-women-in-computer-science-from-1940-1982#

Huh, I guess it's back to Delphi now. Never thought I'd say that.
How did you get started doing tech editing?
