To me it feels like you've left out an awful lot of stuff. First off is project mgmt and coordination. On the government side there's going to be a small host of people involved, not just a single "customer". Meetings an

VB6... got so much hate but folks just don't seem to see how useful it's debug mode was. Oh sure... VB6 and good OO design and modern practices (unit tests, dependency injection, etc) don't mix. But... if you need to sit down

Meh. I would expect that if Mozilla did not put in reasonable effort at "making things work" with the new owners the new owners would sue. Not sure on what grounds... but with a billion on the line spending a few tens of millions

Under your theory of the crime it was some form of negligent homicide? And you want to hold all the receptionists accountable (lose of job) because they negligently did/failed to do what exactly?

Group punishment for the actions of a few? Pretty indefensible. If you think it is defensible perhaps you could explain why it's just that an assembly line worker should lose his livelihood because a few folks implemented this scheme?

Can folks just set "hypochondriac" in their preferences so medical searches just return variations of cancer? This would probably save folks a lot of time... well.. everyone except doctors :) Or alternatively... if set always retu

He's a con man... we just don't know who he's trying to con. From a confidence game perspective impersonating a recluse like Satoshi is a great choice, in fact a classic choice. Especially after that other fellow was incorrec

Case sensitivity in any programming language is crazy. I can't for the life of me see a valid engineering principal that accepts IsTheOne() and istheone() being different bits of code. Oh sure at a technical level the computer has
