   I've always understood it to mean that you put an arbitrary deadline on the issue. ie "If I have not solved this by 12:15, I'll get help/move on". I'm not sure why it's called "boxing time" and I

   I doubt this is an issue since everyone knows that no one can replace Carrie Fisher as Leia.

   I think M2M is great and all, but the thing is, the machines are doing something for the humans. We can tell a machine to go talk to another machine but neither machine will know WHAT they are supposed to do unless we tell them. The HOW is

   That also a dangerous question to answer on first contact. If I was applying I would not believe you and just avoid answering anyway. Time will still be wasted and this whole process will continue to be non-ideal.

    Sure you could pick it right back up, but you'll have to go through the learning curve again to pick up whatever the technology of the day is. That is more what I meant, knowledge becoming outdated, rather than forgetting how to code.

    Nice idea. If there was an online version of this, I would participate. I can't be bothered to take more time out of my day to physically go somewhere though.

    That's still an awful lot of money. I would be much less likely to tip if I was shelling out $1+ each time. Nickles and dimes are pocket change to me, but they add up.

    A question for those who have been around this field longer than I. Programming is very much a use-it-or-lose-it skill, how would following advice like this article affect one's proficiency in this industry?

    'word-break: normal;' would be a good backup to 'break-word' which is not actually working. Also, why do I need to reenter my name every time?
