Everything in computing requires learning and relearning. If you hired, or work with, developers who can't learn or adapt you have far more serious problems than database choices to worry about.

It is pretty common to read or hear about spiritual, religious or mystical experiences even from ardent atheists under hallucinogens. That evidence raises a very interesting philosophical question.

I think this has more to do with how anyone competent or socially adept is promoted out of engineering/development roles, joins a multinat or goes abroad. Very few East Asian companies have the concept of a senior engineer, let alone anyone

So instead of sharing data with your friends, family and a corporation you just want to share it with a corporation? Someone already has your online data the only difference is who that someone is. That someone can still choose to sell your

It's actually pretty clear, Microsoft is extorting small players. If Microsoft had patents that were actually valid it would go after IBM, Intel, Google or Red Hat. They all have more money and use Linux far more widely and deeply. But Micr

So Greece should become the world's first anarchist state? Paying taxes there is only supporting corruption, bureaucracy (including their debt holders) and inefficiency. Part of their problem is that no one was paying taxes to start with. N

I haven't watched the Film you suggested. What you seem to be saying is that somehow this will resolve itself. I honestly doubt that is even remotely possible. Investment banks and hedge funds are making huge amounts of money, why would the

This is probably an old pre-default HTTPS Gmail, man in the middle attack and the original article is badly written as others have posted. However, the man in the middle based packet inspection and injection is widely used. From what I can

Various nations through history have used all female fighting units for psychological power. It isn't a sound military strategy, it is cultural belief. Many cultures consider men to be more expendable and that makes killing them easier. For

This really depends on your definition of 'travel'. Do you just want to go places? See ruins? Meet people? Eat? It all depends on how you define what travel is. I personally prefer to think of travel as cultural immersion. Jumping into an u

This argument is patently false. Money that did not flow to one industry went somewhere else: another industry or service, into savings or it was eaten by interest on some debt or another. The record industry is appallingly inefficient. Mil

Disk fragmentation has not mattered for the last few years. Most modern hard drives are not storing data in the exact way that they are reporting to the software layer. Hardware manufacturers use all sorts of tricks to make their drives fas

There is no such thing as "untouched nature". Humans have been almost everywhere on the planet since the late 19th century (exploration of polar regions, deserts and submarines). There are hundreds of thousands of native Alaskans who have a

I really doubt the statistics as I expressed in another post. There is an almost uncountable number of iPhone re-sellers here in Seoul. There are 6 in the street outside (within about a 100 metre range of each other). Apple is very, very po

I seriously doubt the accuracy of these stats. South Korea's web services are largely insular and just for South Korea. It well known that foreign websites have much smaller market shares of pageviews and users than domestic Korean sites. T

Renting is quite expensive. The rental markets in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane is very competitive. It is not uncommon for 50 people to show up to inspect an apartment before renting. However, it is still possible to find some real

If you have 32GB of RAM in your workstation, you will find a way to use it. Some laptops are very powerful these days but a desktop or rackmounted box will still be more powerful. That aside, there is another advantage of not using a laptop

The Syrian government has already said the protests are illegal. So if we follow pure logic, they are all criminals and should be locked up. This comes back to a fundamental question of democracy, who owns the government?

You really don't need a car to live in Singapore. Most of the time, driving will take you longer than getting on the metro. Remember that Singapore is an extremely small country and you can easily commute to anywhere on the island with a pu

Look at the filings for big companies. Usually the top incomes and options are given to the CEO, COO and CFO. CFOs are often sitting on large sacks of money and directly participating in the finance industry. Even companies with no other ti

That's not quite true. North Korea is also getting resources and labour from Burma, Iran and Zimbabwe. That is not counting countries that are doing business with North Korea through intermediaries in China or Russia.

What value does this actually create for the economy? You get some extra cash in your pocket, but for what actual gain? You spend hours, or days, or as is the case for some people I know week of their free time doing creative accounting. Th

Looking at all of human history, can you see a trend of governments becoming more efficient without money? If you look at the economic history of the last two centuries it is far more likely that a government with less income will just go b

Most politicians families are in said tax bracket. Most of their personal friends are also in that bracket. Arguments about the issues/merits of cronyism and nepotism aside, that is a simple answer as to why they are fighting so hard. The a

Come now, mechanized farming isn't all bad. Small engines have brought /billions/ of people out of poverty. My late grandfather switched from a dozen horses to one quadbike, tripling output and halving the amount of work he had to do. This

My weight fluctuates between ~90kg and ~105kg. I'm over 200cm. In no sense of either word am I overweight or a bodybuilder. It is definitely possible to be over 100kg and not considered overweight if you are tall.

Actually, arresting them is next to worthless. Does the oodles of cash spent each year pursuing, prosecuting, jailing, fining, policing and enforcing vandalism cases result in decreased vandalism? Boredom is a social problem, no amount of e

Actually, forcing arrests is a very effective form of civil disobedience. One of the most effective civil disobedience campaigns I have seen was one that aimed to poke holes in wide and loosely defined laws being used by police for openly r

You don't need to limit yourself to freelancing work either. I've done odd jobs that got me enough money for another week of travel with a few days works. One was laying concrete in a 3rd world country after drinking with a local farmer. It
