I don't see the "major upgrade" here. As a doc you can already use Square to process payments, and you can look up "real time insurance information" easily already via the web. Breathless pronouncements from a supposed technical company tha

No, it doesn't help in the least. The link you post mentions ONE CASE where a committee of the Texas Supreme Court apparently made a complaint because someone published a self help legal book. That complaint was dropped. Now, how again is p

Looks good to me, although we use Postgre. web2py has been surprisingly good to work with. I agree with the parent on Ruby vs Python - just pick the path you're already more comfortable on.

Quit using manager-bullshit-speak. Here, let me write your entire "processes AND policy" manual for plagiarism: 1) Don't do it; 2) If it occurs, fire the guy who did it; 3) Apologize and try to make it right; 4) Shut up. You seem to find ea

"It shows how from the first feminism was driven by ignorant indignation rather than reason..." And that's where I stopped reading this vapid linkbait. Flagged. Generalizing about "feminism" from this "meeting" is nothing more than ignorant

Male here. Most professionals will no longer bother to read an article with a headline that uses insulting, sexist words. If you worked for me and wrote that title for an article about something we were working on, you wouldn't work for me

False equivalence. But do go ahead and give us your argument for how hypocrisy is more admirable.

No, that's not what you were getting at, at all. You made nothing more than an ad hominem attack. First you wanted us to discount Stallman's argument because of...wait for it...the way he reads web pages. Second you wanted us to discount St

You just conflated "need" with "choose" to make what is either an obtuse or dishonest point for your own purposes. Which is it?

Alas, he is all too right. Attempts to rationalize racism, whether or not with the rather silly faux erudition we see here, may be soon classified as a mental illness: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb4345/is_9_32/ai_n291... No

Oh, look: an appeal-to-emotion on "political logic" consisting of ignoring eight hundred years of the racist "political premise" (extending to present day) that whites are superior to blacks, followed by straw man, followed by false premise

Oh. Your proposed solution to sexual harassment or racial harassment or harassment in general was to tell the victim to "grow a thicker skin" That was what you wanted us to learn from your contributions to the thread. Thanks. It's pretty

Uh, nobody is talking about changing any "natural" behavior (whatever in hell you expect that to mean), no matter how shit-headed. Behave however you like outside the work environment. But if you behave in a sexist or racist way in the work

Hmmm. If any of her sexist male coworkers made jokes about "kitchen and stuff" in my office, I'd fire them on the spot for cause and take pains to make sure other organizations knew in detail about their behavior. If you accused a victim of

"Military grade encryption" is too vague. I looked at the app's market page, and searched the developer site in vain for details about exactly which encryption scheme is used.

Come on. High lipid foods like the tahini in baba ganoush are well-known vectors for Salmonella , and many different foods quickly grow Staph quite well at room temperature. Refrigeration limits bacterial growth and production of toxins.

I'm a physician. I'd never heard of "Medical Justice" before this story. I'm going to notify my own state Board of Medical Examiners about these kinds of gag "contracts", which in my opinion are completely unethical, if not downright slimy.

I agree that killing for sport and eating meat are both unnecessary, do harm healthwise on an individual and social scale, and produce much suffering in the world.

Never too late. It's absolutely worth it, and at 30 you're hardly too old to do absolutely anything you want as far as career changes. But I think that way beyond the technical training you will get in CS, the true value of a university edu

Thanks for your response, but frankly you are presenting a textbook example here of continuing to impolitely blame the messenger(s). If you don't enjoy reading posts entitled "Facebook privacy fuckup" at 5am on a Sunday, then perhaps FB sho
