Considering that Safari fails to start on a regular basis (amongst a ton of bugs and problems with it), I'd say that breaks the web a lot more than IE6.

I think the title is right, but mainly because of the multitude of Safari bugs and its incredibly slow performance. This is for Safari of OS X: assuming it doesn't crash on startup (so for me, about two out of three computers these day

That doesn't excuse his idiocy or the fact that he's sabotaging the hiring process. The original advice is spot on. You can't fix stupid people.

Indeed. I believe this is so because restaurants here do not want anyone to go hungry. That includes people who are rather large. If you must guarantee that people up to say 400 lbs always go home satisfied by giving them enough food, there

Nothing wrong with that. When you're interviewing, you can use any criteria you like because you're not denying people (except yourself, which is your right) jobs they're qualified for based on random, often discriminatory in

How is that different from the majority of people who are only motivated by money to work? You're right, motivation is not something you can command at will. Nor is it something that you can detect in others or stereotype across a vast

Not necessarily. There are plenty of Muslims who could help an atheist non profit by maintaining their professionalism. Likewise for your other examples. By assuming that they will let their beliefs sabotage their work, you're judging

I don't know where this author comes from, but obviously not the Northeast or West coasts of the US where "guys" has been used to refer to mixed gender groups for decades. It's no different that "y'all" wh

That's called religious discrimination and no, we don't have to forgive you for it.

I've never experienced that from people that don't drink--whatever their reason--but even if I did, I'd prefer it to working with alcoholics and companies that encourage alcoholism. Out of more than a dozen or so places in SF

"Cultural fit" is just another form of discrimination, a currently legal alternative to racism, sexism, and other forms of illegal discrimination in the US to keep the "unliked" and "unwanted" out of jobs. The

Yes, but Slack is slick, plaid, and even gorgeous. Seriously, these days it seems most software like this is judged purely on its external styling and aesthetic beauty. You're right, Slack has no new features over IRC or any other dece

I think you misunderstand copyright. You can't copyright a style, only a specific implementation thereof. Unless you're accusing Mattermost of copying code directly from Slack (which you wouldn't be able to tell from a pictur

You mean that slick, plaid UI with neutral, low key colors doesn't enhance your productivity? That's the whole reason I moved from HipChat to Slack.

Great. I'm glad they're taking the initiative and voting with their (would be) money. That seems to be about the only way to "vote" these days. I'm really surprised more companies aren't doing the same in the U

Yup. You're right about all your audio points. There is no way the Etymotics are damaging your hearing. If you leave the music off, they're excellent ear plugs. Speaking of ear plugs, that might be a great solution for certain peo

Actually, "The Last of Us" is a pretty bad offender as far as camera and motion sickness go. For first person games, there's probably no solution, but third person games like "The Last of Us" could use some camera m

Nice read. I really like this part: "But we worried about the camera, dizziness, and the player’s ability to judge depth – more on that later." It's interesting that they were concerned with dizziness and the camera, concerns

No, because you're paying for unlimited 4G or HSDPA access, not unlimited access at any speed. AT&T is wrong, they know they're wrong, and they should pay the money. It clearly misleads consumers and that's the issue here

This article is full of downright lies. If you have such proof, please present it otherwise there is no reason at all to believe anyone was endangered.

First things first. It is possible to get off this shit. I was on kolonopin for almost 7 years, never at doses lower than 2mg as well as Xanax. The Ashton manual is invaluable. So is the Benzo Buddies forum. Be aware that most doctors don&#
