Two problems: 1) I haven't been around for a couple of thousand years, neither have today's women. 2) Overcompensation is the most common of human traits. Ought we not strive for what is fair today?

Shouldn't the airline crew be professional about it? Flight attendant: "Someone back here has some issues they want to run by you" Pilot: "What is it?" Flight attendant: "They think the language is too coarse in the movie." Pilot: "Tell the

I had obligatory wood shop from age 10 to age 15 (late 80's - early 90's). Endless hours of sandpaper, shavers, and various old school tools. It was fantastic! Still today, if I really want something made right out of wood, I know I can do

So, people who are mean - by this person's judgement - are stupid? For fear of being mean (and stupid) I shan't put words to what I think about this.

If you do drop out, make your plan B now. Priority one should be to be self-sufficient. It might be hard to get sufficient wages at that wage, and as a dropout, but this needs to happen. If you end up in an unstructured environment, chances

Ha! Universally, my ass. If you read your own post, you'll see that you claim that every case involves: a) a contract b) a breach of mentioned contract Yet you seem to reference a case in which there was no contract between Monsanto and t

Wow, that Wikipedia article's history is interesting. What I can see from a cursory look at the court documents is that the court dismissed on grounds of irrelevance his claim that he neither used roundup nor any similar herbicide on the cr

What kind of IT Policy was applied? Was this automatic, did they detect the event before he alerted them, or did they do this after he had disclosed the vulnerability? The first application of the IT Policy is the interesting one here, as i

Maybe the right response would be to legally punish - by fine - both parties. After all, there is private data insufficiently safeguarded. Some poor girl could end up getting stalked if the right kind of sleeze came across this.

Since when is it a private business owner's responsibility to play law enforcement? If the police knows a place to be an epicenter of criminal activities, isn't that a great opportunity to do proper police work, and keep the place under sur

There is something about this case that makes me feel an injustice has been done. Not by Aaron Swartz, but by the apparatus investigating and prosecuting this case. Sadly, I wonder how frequent these witch hunts are in the USA. The Larsgard

The proper term for pushing this law is "rent-seeking". You must include our content, and you must pay us for it. This is a general problem with people and businesses perceiving themselves as working for society. They cannot see the wrongs

As a Norwegian having lived in English-speaking countries for many years, I find the conclusion plausible, but the evidence lacking. We do share a lot of the same rules for word order as English. There are, however, notable exceptions. For

A cyclist's speed is hard to predict for a driver. I believe that mandatory bicycle headlights - day and night - would help alleviate this problem. The reason being that the cyclist then gets picked up by a driver's peripheral vision, which

As some already have pointed out, internationalization can be somewhat tricky on alternative keyboard layouts. As it is, I find that languages with extra letters often move some extra symbols (like {[]}) into combinations with peripheral ke

What safety is not temporary? And what liberty isn't essential? Writing style has changed over the centuries, to me this reads like he's also reminding us that liberty is essential, and safety is temporary - and that it always must be so.

Well, when reading the text, the reference to Dale Carnegie's work - as well as the author's reflections on that - constitute the pivotal point of the chapter "Why criticism is bad". Without that, what is left except feelings and such? H

We should embrace criticism. If it is valid, one learns. If not, one may clarify. Saying somebody's baby is ugly is not criticism - it is simply useless. Attempting to compare proper criticism to it is even more useless. This post to me is
