I think the objective is to cut the size of the Russian cruise missile launching fleet. Putin's mind is only likely to be changed by a bullet.

After rereading my posting below it's a lot of long-winded blah. My short answer is that IMO a huge portion of the technical problems were recognised and attempts made to solve them but it was impossible because the business failed to

Symbian's Operating System really was superior. After all it was fully multitasking and all operating system calls were asynchronous. And it was written in C++ so the inside of the operating system was object oriented and easy to und

At school I used to play marbles. I had no skill whatsoever so I did "set ups" where I put a marble down and other kids threw theirs from a standard distance to hit it. If they missed the marble was mine. More valued marbles got m

I did NOT experience this level of abuse or control but I did go to a religious school - not a weird one but you know they beat children just as much or more as the other schools there did and all that talk about the kindness of Jesus seeme

Thank you. "Spearheading" is always valued and the way to do it is to leave for some new initiative somewhat before everyone realises the current one is a turd. The blame then attaches to the people left holding the turd.

I wouldn't take it quite as seriously as it takes itself. These articles like to lay down a view of the universe as if it was the first and last word but I don't think it is at all. We couldn't function at all if all companie

Is that on the things that make money now or the speculative things you might make money on later? Almost everyone is resource constrained in that the ambition of non-dev management is always 10x what they have the money to pay for. I take

I have often ended up working on the billing system - nobody cares if it functions and I don't know why. It pulls in the money every month and if it makes mistakes the company loses money.........!!!!..... In the same companies people

Forgetting the tone for a moment but I can say I see lots of people using things they don't understand and making hard problems for themselves. To be fair I know that I don't understand those things properly and yet see people rus

Dancing to a proprietary tune is risky - they can decide to change the API or go after you with lawsuits if it becomes too competitive. You can provide backwards compatibility in Linux - you can keep old versions of libraries installed. The

You're mixing euros and dollars which is a bit confusing. That is a very low salary IMO - I'm in the UK and after big efforts to hire people I cannot imagine being able to hire anyone who could write a for-loop for that little! Ne

Nuclear is a total disaster recently. Enormous cost overruns, delayed operation. What reason in hell is there to pour money into that instead of wind? Wind works. Every turbine built adds power - no need to wait decades for the next screwe

Living such lives divorces people from what most of humanity are experiencing. i.e. people with power and money and the ability to live virtually are isolated from what's happening. We all have money - just to have a job in software i

Yes, I have felt it worse with the kinds of managers who try to drive you by making you feel insecure. They're always making sneaky or not-so-sneaky comparisons.

It could but a national government is more likely to block sites at the ISP level. Also ... private companies can block things they don't like, such as competitors...or alter their search rankings.

Possibly but right now you're being guided to whatever information makes the most ad revenue. A choice of two compromised mechanisms might be better than none.

a block of countries is what makes them far less worrisome. They're too busy competing with each other - none is going to want the others spying on it's own citizens for gain.
