Had to hop around the site a bit since it wasn't mentioned on the page, but I'm assuming from the contact page that you're in London? Ah well, good to see what you're up to at least :)

Free speech in the US says the government cannot make laws to curtail your speech in most circumstances. Free speech does not, however, protect you from dealing with the consequences of your speech.

Being someone who's made a big mistake in the past and very nearly lost my job, I think the best thing is for an employer to care about an employee and try to help them work through what are often temporary problems. That being said, I don'

There's a lot of bad information going around. What would be useful would be a collection of Adria's and mr-hank's posts from the original thread. I've seen people saying Adria should never have confronted them because "men are abusive". Le

From my experience, there can be a lot of one-ups-manship in the office. Between men or between women. If your environment has this type of atmosphere, it probably will escalate until you make it known where your line is. I don't think it's

Adria, what did you expect to happen? You didn't want to argue your perspective so you went full nuclear on people. And that full nuclear got someone fired, simply because you didn't want to have to talk to them. I can understand you may be

I'm sorry, we just disagree. I'm the type of woman who will speak to people if I find their speech to be that distracting if I'm unable to move. These guys? If I was that upset? I would turned and said "eyup mates, can you keep it down? I'm

private conversations are private. If she was feeling that they were being inappropriate, there are other ways to handle it. I'm not a fan of naming and shaming without trying to handle it privately first. Such as me saying I find the use o

Learning a profession involves learning copious amounts of information that you do not use in your every day job. A lot of it is conceptual work providing you a solid basis of knowledge and understanding that you will build on when you star

Of course a family of 4 can be comfortable in an apartment. Three bedrooms, living area, kitchen, full bathroom with possibly a half bath if it's a larger place. Why couldn't a family of 4 be comfortable?

That's also the sign of a bs'r You know, the person who knows nothing about a topic, but will talk for hours on it? There should never be shame in admitting "I don't know" and then following it up with, "but if faced with that I would..."

I don't think personal wealth of an owner has anything to do with a business. I'm probably a greedy SOB, but that's his money, not the company's money. If the company can't exist without him paying his own money into it, then the company pr

With veal you get further issues. Dairy cattle males may not be suitable as commercial veal, like not all sheep breeds are suitable as meat sheep. If they are suitable, then you've got to deal with either raising them from birth as white ve

2700k isn't bad, but 5000k? That's grow light spectrum. I've seen people complain over the "too whiteness" of 3000k bulbs never mind 5000k.

Heh, that's completely the opposite of my experience. I've seen extremely few LED bulbs that say they are "dimmable" and I've been looking around a fair bit as I'm transferring all the lights in the house over to LED if on-time matters and

at least in 2007 the pill was free as well. Contraceptive implant, coil, IUD, all still free last time I checked. It's not only condoms. And if your local surgery can't provide what you want due to a skills shortage you can go to a sexual h

I find it odd that internal motivation could be so low that someone would need to wait for an external motivation, like a hackathon, in order to do something they wanted to do, like learn something new or challenge themselves.

I'm not sure code quantity equates to code quality. But then again, I'm a believer in the shower school of epiphany. Have a sticky problem, take a shower, suddenly figure out solution to problem.

my student loan debt means I require a higher salary. If I didn't have the debt I'd be able to work for much less than I currently do and still have the same quality of life.

Have you read Neuromancer? I'm not quite sure how what you mention is related to the use of the word cyberspace as Gibson used it.
