So while C may be as lightweight as it can get, it's not really suitable for projects with more than 10k LOC. I believe John Carmack would have something to say about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech_3

It seems to me that lawyers have a captive market - I mean, you're not going to not hire a lawyer when you need one, yes? And with the truckload of new laws that enter the books every year, there will likely be no shortage of need anytim

You are correct, nothing has said programmer. For the sake of clarity, will alter title to say game developer. EDIT: Too late to alter the title. Will have to stand.

It’s because the vast majority of us are straight up sociopaths. I don't think this can be taken out of context.

From what I could tell from my time in the service, your view of your situation is highly dependent upon who you are serving with. I'm willing to bet it is highly likely that the group this supposed sociopath served with had no such compul

I thought this was a good analysis, though the author seemed to think the 'Integrity Dollars' were constant. In reality, they seem to be different per person. Also he did not mention Value-Added bucks, which would be a benefit you get for
