To clarify I think what you meant in your example is that 20% of those who start today are young while there were 30% of the same cohort 5 years ago.

In general I would agree, but I think it also depends on junior developer in question. Every now and then you meet someone whose overflowing intelligence, talent and work ethic will make them an exceptional engineer, but are not there yet.

I think the main purpose of business cards today is to serve as a physical reminder of who you met, not to provide you contact info which can be found elsewhere. Memory is not the best keeper of information at conferences where you might me

I live in Slovenia which is commonly considered east EU. Guess what, bikes get stolen here as well (not sure I know any cyclist who hasn't had one stolen at some point). And your 90% estimate is as offensive as wrong.

No, you shouldn't expect that. When you register a trademark, you do it for a specific region (country, EU...) and for a particular purpose (industry). In principle you could try to trademark a name everywhere in the world for every pu

Of course not, but somebody not me would have no way of telling if the guy legally innocent really is or not. What it would come down to is his perception. It would be very easy for me as a white straight middle class guy to be OK with &quo

I have no idea what kind of character mr. Gonzalez is (and suspect neither do you), but how about this hypothetical example. Imagine you were wrongly accused of child abuse 20 years ago. Charges were eventually dropped for lack of evidence.

I don't know, but unless your photo collection is really small (few GB) you'll quickly have to pay for its Dropbox storage at which point Flickr will be much cheaper (25$ unlimited per year).

I have Geeksphone's Keon which is fine if your needs are not too ambitious. I'm very happy with it but it has obvious limitations so not everyone would be. App selection is not great (but happens to be fine for me) and UI can be a

You wouldn't in common cases because as an individual you are not required to care. However if you are an owner of a database containing personal information (where database means collection, not a particular technology), then rules ar

So email address is not personally identifiable information even though it was all the spammer needed to identify her? Right. In some parts of the world (e.g. Slovenia) personal email is very much considered a personal information and any o

Nobody complains about death of something they don't use and I think it is a bit early to tell if actual users will complain.

What I would like to know is what kind of event do you imagine happening (beside practically completely obliterating Earth) that would make Mars more hospitable than post-apocalypse Earth? I'd imagine polluted water and air with still

The pilot in question had built a flight simulator at home. I doubt he was flying it mostly on autopilot. He also worked as instructor. I am not a pilot, but I would expect both would provide opportunities to refresh memory.

My Nexus S (which admittedly is not new, but battery is) lasted about a day if I used it a bit and up to two days if I turned the cell data and wireless off and didn't touch it. Wifi, location and bluetooth were turned on strictly on n

Python doesn't have a builtin webserver, but there is one in standard library of CPython. I've yet to see an article that would argue that its existence is a proof that you should be using Python now.

No, there's a big assumption that those of us who use ad blockers would miss things that are now delivered "free with ads". That may be true for a lot of people, but it isn't for every one of us.

I didn't miss it. I completely understand that you'd like to take pictures of what you see and nobody or certainly not me is saying that you shouldn't. What I am saying to you is that I don't dislike Glass because I co

We didn't miss it. It's just that its benefits are not worth its costs to many of us. He also didn't say you shouldn't wear it. Just that if you don't, it's not your fault.

He didn't say everyone was responsible. But even if we were it would not follow that no one is since responsibility is not something that depends on others not having any.

I would love it if you could elaborate on this. Since most exchanges don't do anything before they received money from buyer, what would they need the money for?

Your example may be a proof that violence in games does not cause violence in person, but it isn't a proof that it has no effect. In essence I may be fearful of the wrong scenario, but that isn't the same as me not having a good r

Depends on where you live and who you work for. At my current company I have 30 vacation days + 10 days of sick days and that's because I work for a British instead of a local company. If I worked for local, then those sick days would

There's a big assumption you're making there. Nothing and nobody can guarantee him parole then. I don't expect it will happen and even if it does, I don't see 12 years in prison as a light sentence.

by samastur 13y ago
Yes, even then. Even if you could be sure that there would be more civilian deaths (which you really can't be), there is a big ethical difference between choosing to kill someone and being forced to do it.

What you described is exactly how lack of will power looks like. You find rationalization, an argument why it is OK to do something you otherwise would prefer not to do (eat cake, avoid work-out...). I've always had to pay attention to
