Microsoft has an informal but firm no meetings before 11 pseudo-policy. All the white boards you can eat. General freedom to come and go and work when you want, most of the time. YMMV.

Come on. Why are reporters employed again? Oh, right. Because most of us are descended from rapers and pillagers, and so are the reporters. It's a great big circle jerk of people disconnected from their own humanity. Like a biiiig roun

Don't let reporters mystify you with all these things people "claim" and say. It's just one PR department relaying a message from another PR dept. It's all the US. It's all the current system. Yes, the constitu

We know not to be surprised by all this by this point, right? I mean, regardless of whether you think this is analogous to, say, a speed trap - but in cyber space - regardless, we aren't surprised? Yes?

I just have been having trouble with Paul's software, and thought I was being moderated unintentionally. I forgot there's dang now. He seems kind of new to an "old timer" like me :)

Whatever logic it is that makes stories enter free-fall from the #1 slot, to page 10, in the course of 15 minutes... I seem to see this frequently. It is jarring 100% if the time. I can see a rational for it maybe 10% of the time.

This seems to me like a pretty random communication pattern to jump on, and not at all likely to be universally 'right'. Maybe it's a personal issue for the author, and others. I've been teaching computer science to layp
