It's a show of good faith but they would have no claim to your side projects anyway (unless you produced a direct competing product that they could reasonably demonstrate you had stolen from them). At least that's my view of it. If anyone

I said I liked it as it is now, but I would actually prefer a hybrid: Show the score but only -4 - +4. That is, make positive counts behave how negative used to.

>Clearly that's not universally true, otherwise racing drivers would use automatic gearboxes. F1 drivers did until it got banned. In fact, if I'm not mistaken I believe our more advanced automatic transmissions came from F1.

Depends on the country. There are still places where being a waiter can be a career but if you get caught doing something insane like that (I personally think spitting in someone's food should be a crime on the level of assault at least) y

If this is the case how come so many assholes got through the screening process? The arrogance of very successful actors is legendary (though very successful singers may surpass it).

Easier said than done. Unfortunately, as indicated elsewhere in the thread, being poor becomes a mindset. Regardless of how it got started, it ends up there and it's hard to break. Personally, I've tried to help 2 or 3 poor kids just rec

Refactoring. In Visual Studio I can click on any usage of a badly named class, press F2, type in the new name and it will be updated everywhere. Even the name of the file holding the class is updated.

Is this a joke project or something? You need to tell visual studio to STFU so you can get some work done? Has this person ever used VS? It's one of the best editors I've ever used. What is he going to use to be more productive, vi?

It sounds to me like no one is going to remember you at all. Are you working for your own company? If not it sounds like your whole life is nothing more than making some rich people even richer. If you are remembered at all, it will be f

I don't find the salaries that high in practice (depends heavily on where you live), teenagers on the street are anything but polite and I don't know what you mean about counting and spelling. I do know that every time I've been in a sto

"Protestant work ethic" is the term we use for a specific group of people who happened to also be protestant. And it very much is the case. You hear it in nearly every person you talk to.

So you have some anecdotes about bad service. In reality, we have studies that conclusively show that US care is both more expensive and less effective.

Why wouldn't they support software patents? The dispute here isn't some silly ideological pissing contest about whether software patents are valid or not. This is Apple saying they bought these licenses to be used in the App store and the

No, hopefully it will just go away. Flash should be considered legacy at this point, we shouldn't be developing new dependencies when we're finally getting movement on the HTML standard.

Invalid comparison. AdBlock is most likely using less resources than the ads it blocks. Virus scanners are overhead on all stream operations.

>Religion, for one. Wrong. All religions have, in fact, adjusted to changing realities. The Pope has made changes, the Jews don't sacrifice animals anymore, etc. You have a point with "alternative medicine" though.

Well, millions or billions have been made on anti-virus software. The overhead to have every file or network operation read by some scanning program is too much. This needs to be avoided at all costs. Especially since there are better
