The thought that so many people find such novelty in the carcases pigs sickens me. Given the way many pigs are 'farmed' I'd say a more accurate description would be 'Tortureprenuers'. One day, within our lifetimes, this will seem about as f

"In 2006, a study of nearly 3,000 nurses with breast cancer found that women without close friends were four times as likely to die from the disease as women with 10 or more friends." You could always argue that there was a common cause to

Even if I was in the same city as the other developer I would just talk to them on the phone. I think the 'in person' meeting would usually involve enough time wasting to defray the benefits of the small increase in direct communication. If

This is a such well written sales copy. I followed it through to the 'book' and eventually came across one of those scamy looking very long sales pages. Check it out http://www.thetaoofdating.com/page3.php I'm not saying this means the ar

Good article but it fails to mention perhaps the most important technology for making it work - the telephone. I'm not so sold on teleconferencing - similar issues as with videoconferencing. But one-to-one calls can and do work.

There is a certain threshold of dangerous and selfless action that defies ordinary logic. In the cases of direct and unambiguous help to others it is called heroism. In cases where the action causes harm to some parties the definition is le

I wonder whether the benefits are for those being trained or those doing the training. It seems to me the greatest trick of waging war is to convince people to put their lives at risk against an enemy that did not originally threaten them.

As an SV and US outsider I can definitely see a dismissive-ness towards other platforms. However rather than blindness I see it more as a group phenomena like a 'collective subconscious' that can often drive a meme towards a self perpetuati

It is an overstatement designed to attract attention at the expense of more considered and truthful statements. Like other forms of lying it should be discouraged.

Any namespace issues are largely dealt with by naming conventions such as prefixing function names with the module name. For the 'hooks' that connect modules to the rest of Drupal this is compulsory. You can structure your own code pretty m

Yes it is telling of the way the journalist hoped to frame the story. A good way to spice up an otherwise ordinary story. Better than 'Aged Physicist disagrees with dominant theory'. I'd call it a piece of disingenuous hack work but it work

Actually Dyson seems to be hedging his bets on whether it is caused by man. He seems less convinced than the conventional view but accepts it could be the case. His main point is that it won't be so bad or could even be good. The confusing
