I think you left out some context there. Grace Hopper, one of the most accomplished computer scientists not just of her day but ever. Rose to dizzying heights in the US military because they needed her so much. A towering giant of the field

It's a training course that the people building the product need to go on (which, in this case, is a single person). Some kickstarters might send two of their people on a 3D animation course. Some might buy an expensive set of textbooks and

"Thats all there is to it." An unbending, absolute rigid belief? Sounds like a religous style "broken brain".

"Common sense" is not much more than a myth now that (many, including those of the majority of the posters here) societies are not homogenous and not filled with people all subscribing to a very narrow view of what is right and wrong. I bel

So how do you justify where you draw your own line? Is it okay for you to murder someone because every day somewhere there is a massacre? No? Well then, is it okay for you to shoplift because someone else, somewhere, is stealing much more t

Is this not taking a literal interpretation of his words a bit too far? Is your scenario really that because someone can stick their hands in their pockets and refuse to take the US dollars (and then a court declares that the debt has been

What would the two sides be? One side is presumably every citizen, but that leaves no citizens on the other side. Sounds more like a revolution.

When you have one of the big ticket items that they make the big money on, such as cancer, you have a lot of time to shop around.

Sure are a suspicious number of very new commenters here making their first comment ever.

"read books instead of use e-readers." How necessary is that? Does it depend on the eReader? I use a Sony 300 series (which I personally think is about the high point of the eReader evolution, with the exception of the 350 for more screen s

How about the guy who does a minimum of 20 per day, and does extra on the good days? He's going to clean your clock. Or the guy who uses a bicycle. Or a car. Or flies. Or takes a different route. What exactly is the point of this story? It'

It has been made very clear in many circumstances and cases that "just doing my job" is NOT an acceptable excuse.

The inconvenience IS the glamour of martyrdom. If the TSA had calmly and politely carried out the hands-on search as she recited the constitution, there would have been no effect. No inconvenience, no martyr.

"My Computer" et al. sounded patronising and childlike when it started and continues to do so now. How about just "Items" and "Photos"? Unless there is something marked "Someone else's items" and "Someone else's photos", is it necessary to

Demanding people give their real names to reduce behaviour deemed unacceptable. I've heard that somewhere else recently. Trolling and protesting are two sides of the same die.

You get ripped off, so you laugh at other people who don't like getting ripped off. Nice.

To my mind, there's a difference in the relative size of the oil windfall. The UK has over ten times the population of Norway, so in effect the sudden cash income just doesn't compare to the Norwegian experience. The UK enjoyed similar bene

"What about other oil-prosperous small countries such as the Emirates or Kuwait?" For a long time, when a country became rich through oil, there were two paths. One was a fascist socialism in which the population was bought off with the pro

There's no trick to it. Not everyone here wants to run their own business. Big pay packet. Great pension plan. Stack of benefits. Interesting problems. An office (with door and windows), or at least an office shared with only a couple of ot

"There's nothing that would delight me less than driving on the road with someone who has hacked their cars firmware." Engine tuners already do this.

Victims of a rather harsh bait and switch 40 years ago; "Prior to the cancellation of Black Arrow, NASA had offered to launch British payloads for free; however this offer was withdrawn following the decision to cancel Black Arrow." Ouch!

Does that mean we should accept it? Does that make it OK?

Well, it's interesting to hear how some people justify this sort of thing to themselves. I suppose at least the fact that they do need to justify it to themselves gives us some hope; if they didn't even realise it was wrong, they wouldn't n

It's been a crime for years and the police don't seem to have been able to stamp it out. Gosh, it's almost as if they can't be everywhere at once and that citizens will have to take some responsibility themselves for what constitutes accept
