I think linguistic skills of someone who saws pieces of wood for a living are less relevant than for someone who conjures up high abstract concepts and communicates them to man and machine alike.

Precisely! I've been using ORM pattern throughout my career, and have even designed/built one 10 years ago because what was available at the time wasn't gonna cut it functionality- and performance-wise for the system we were building (a rea

that biden is a stooge for the entertainment industry is no secret, though i doubt he could've made this happen at a drop of the hat, as the article purports. mpaa chairman chris dodd is an influential democrat with strong ties to the obama

in light of google's "alarm" over take-down notices from usa, canada, and other "free" nations, i wouldn't be surprised in the least if our own governments were complicit in this authoritarian takeover.

facebook really seems to be intent on becoming the world's largest photo-sharing site. the question is: are they planning to transform that from "omg check out these crazy party pics" into "everything is photographed and we've identified ev

one aspect this "superstar"-worship drivel^Harticle seems to ignore is the organizational contribution to success. i'd argue that individual contribution to any given project of substance is greatly overestimated, while contribution of the

interrogators will routinely ask questions to which they already know answers so that they can establish a baseline for "truthfulness" (sort of a human lie detector). they also need to engage the subject in a conversation and may ask most b

Being dismissive/flippant does not help engender the trust that was already shaken by emailing me my password in clear text. Where can I unregister my account?

Thanks for storing the password in clear text and sending it to me in the registration email! Seriously, WTF? Have you slept through the last 20 years of information security research?

VP Biden is an enthusiastic supporter of the legacy entertainment industry incumbents; odds are Obama will sign a SOPA-style legislation while in office unless we raise hell like we did the 1st time around.

Not just companies, politics too. For example, many people were swooning over Obama as The One and soon found out that he's in fact a mere mortal with virtues and flaws like the rest of us. Then they turn against him because "he let them do
