It seems to be a legal designation only in Israel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering#Profession . Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess the only problem with a private company instead of a governmental regulatory agency ensuring product safety is that the risk will mostly be born by the poor. Anyone unable to purchase a product tested by a private company with a go

Java seems to have been dying for quite a long time, if you believe the hype. I think I saw the first "Java is Dead," headline in 2002. Frankly, I doubt the language is taking a dirt nap any time soon.

In the United States, maternity leave is rarely generous, and only kind of mandated. There are many, many loopholes and exceptions.

There are still questions about nature vs nurture. There are lots of social pressures to be a certain kind of woman, a certain kind of mom, etc. I'm not sure any of her examples prove that things are biologically this way, just that the

The font looks terrible and jagged to me on Chrome. It seems almost amateurish as a result.

I find this unlikely, sorry. I won't go deep into the pro-abortion arguments right now because I am unlikely to change your mind. What is more likely is birth control will become better and more reliable (including hormonal bc for men), dr

I agree. Hunter S Thompson was quite the druggie and managed ok.

Exactly. If they can't find the money, they can't tax it.

No, because you have used their service and owe them money for that service. In the case of zipcar, if the service has not been used, or there are no outstanding charges on the account, automembership should fail gracefully. Cellphones wi

The assumption of whiteness does NOT make you a racist, any more than the assumption of Japanese-ness makes a person living in Japan a racist. This is not the behavior the author is calling out as racist.

Thanks for the condescension. The author states in the last paragraph that he is referring to the Americans who make that argument. Perhaps that was not clear to you, but it was clear to me.

That's a non-sequitur. In the context of racial appearance of drawn characters, and the incorrect attribution of race based on the viewers biases, it's an appropriate, if somewhat incendiary, term. If someone counters that Japanese definit

It's not racist as in kkk-style, overt hatred of another race, it's more like culture-blindness, or ignorance, or a misplaced belief that one's culture is dominant in an area where it is not.

They are rare, and generally only go to people who are perceived as having a future in academia. So if you don't get a paid spot, that's the career fairy telling you this may not work out...

> Not only that, but the academic humanities are totally infested with continental post-structuralism. If anything you're just setting yourself up to be the victim of the next Sokal's Hoax. That's not entirely fair. My beloved has an E

This is all good, but if you have to go $220k in debt to learn about stuff, that's ridiculous. There are ways to learn and grow outside of academia, and until the costs become reasonable again, I don't pooh-pooh anyone who decides to learn

I agree with you. I will work with your dogs in the office if you work with my children in the office.... no? Ok then.

Birth control is not 100% effective, and it often used incorrectly (though not on purpose). Once a woman is pregnant, she may not know for more than a month, at which point an abortion or adoption is an extremely difficult decision. In any

There will be great talent in all age brackets, but, of course, younger founders will generally network with younger people. If a founder finds a great employee 20 years his or her senior, then age should hardly matter. I do understand be

One of the indirect benefits of feminism is that more men are more involved with their families, and more men are choosing to be primary caregivers. There are many, many fewer men who go this route than women, but it's slowly becoming more

Breitbart has proven to me twice now that he is an unreliable source. Viewing the video in its entirety, I witnessed no such acceptance.

I was just pointing out that anti-white, anti-male bias is clearly not considered acceptable, contrary to what you stated. The evidence against Sherrod was not mistaken so much as manipulated to project an anti-white bias that immediately

I would guess that the Shirley Sherrod mess is a clear rebuttal to the statement: "no one bats an eye at anti-male/anti-Caucasian rhetoric." Not only were eyes batted, but heads rolled (even though it was an entirely false accusation of di
