I am pretty sure it's tongue-in-cheek humor. The idea of a file format apologist is silly, a Hitler apologist not so much.

It's about retaliation and legal issues. The guy could easily retaliate with a smear campaign or even take legal action saying he was "hacking" or doing "espionage". Whistleblowing often has negative consequences fo

This might be the nice thing to do, but anything that points back to him being the source of the complaint may not be best for him in the long run.

This is true about so many things. Sometimes people are driven by their knowledgeable and passion, but there is also a large group driven by selfish desire to promote themselves or an agenda. The guy who wants to be in charge so he can be i

There were plenty of cheerleaders back in the late 90s too, saying it's just the beginning. Most of the social companies have yet to really show they can be profitable other than being bought out. Valuations are often grossly overinfla

I wouldn't put British media on too high of a pedestal. Churning out inspector/detective crime drama swill is one of their specialties. Many of these are about as creative as an episode of Law & Order, some less so.

Well that is one thing to your advantage then. If you really have other strong potential options to making money outside of software, then I'd suggest you do that now, and continue to improve your technical side in the meantime. Succes

Get your resume spruced up. If you don't have actual work experience, create a list of personal projects and describe how you made them. Put as much information on major job sites like Monster, SimplyHired, Indeed, Dice,etc.. It's

Customer service & tech support departments often suffer from broken communication and lack of resources. I'd rather resources be devoted to improving communication and documentation between customer service and other departments.

Zappos seems to stress a rock star image of it's executives and that it has a "family atmosphere". Meanwhile they pay low wages to their customer service and warehouse employees. It's really hard to believe they truly ca

I think we're talking about first languages, which many people will be introduced to in either college, advanced placement courses, or standard high school classes. The USA has generally poor vocational training opportunities, especial

If we're talking about general educational courses, then accessibility is important. Dynamic object-oriented languages can offer immediate feedback and gratification which can feed into keeping students engaged and motivated. There is

Reprocessing carbon to run in combustion, jet and turbine engines already in existence could be huge for the environment in the long run. The two best alternatives we have right now are battery or hydrogen powered engines. Both have major h

I really liked their cameo in Cars. Tom's character was a Dodge Dart, which was problematic car he had owned, and was often a point of discussion on the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&

Any document relating benchmarks or performance numbers should include the exact make/model of the hardware involved. So often I see performance numbers reported by developers without much detail on the actual hardware being used. It s

No. Second-hand smoke is easily provable to be detrimental to public health. Giving food to a homeless person is not.

This would make sense if the US had well-funded homeless shelters & mental health facilities, and a robust economy. We don't. Many of the places the homeless get referred to are not of any help for their circumstances, in some case

Is this really true? It seems a lot of people are part of dysfunctional organizations out of desperation. If there were better alternatives for the employees, would shifty endeavors such as the one in the article thrive?

I had IBS symptoms well before my severe issues with gastroparesis and digestive motility in 2006 and 2012. I feel my underlying issues with IBS made me more predisposed to additional further complications brought on by severe gastroenterit

This seems quite naive. Unless you're willing to give up your life as you know it, proceed with caution when trying to intervene in other people's lives when a serious mental illness is at play. Your life coming to a halt for a fu

Perhaps you are too distant from your experience of IBS, or your symptoms were not as severe as some, but IBS can destroy someone's life just as well as an IBD can. Someone in remission with an IBD may have better quality of life than

The active ingredient is "unknown" at this point. Work is being done to figure out which microbes are useful, and in some cases you may need an orchestration of many different types. http://www.hmpdacc.org/ http:

I've dealt with IBS symptoms for 17 years. I would love to try one of these pills. Digestive maladies can really hamper a person's life. The digestive system is poorly understood, and there aren't a lot of effective treatment

The question then is, do enough people zipper merge, and do people really have a proper understanding of fairness? A lot of the driving population may not be acting rationally, or even have enough awareness to comprehend the big the picture
