No offense intended at all, but personally I am unable to see how an employer can take advantage of an employee when employment contracts involve voluntary free-will agreement by both parties. Now, misrepresenting the situation to an employ

I'm not sure Armstrong has spoken publicly about its gender identity. Can we be so sure? ;-)

Not too bad. My last 34-bedroom house was at least 10x that. ;-)

"I often find myself in a pub, without pen or paper, trying to persuade someone to try Haskell." Heh, I have to ask it -- in a pub? How often does this end in getting beat up? ;-)

Personally, software that "anticipates my needs" drives me nuts. Just do what I say, or don't do anything. :-/
