I have a similar resolution. I find that I excessively judge others internally (even though I don't voice it) and that places irrational pressure on myself. I judge because of various reasons, but I think mainly to make myself feel tha

I don't see how that article talks about the FB killer. It merely states that it has observed UK teenagers moving away from Facebook and cites various reasons, one of them being parents encouraging the use of FB. Maybe a FB killer is a

Bit sensational though, it's not just those 3 lines. You'll also have to add the option to the sign up form, bit more overhead in testing, etc. It's not just 3 lines is what I'm trying to say.

I'm on Windows at work and the scroll bar was visible (when I went there the 2nd time) but either I didn't notice it or I ignored it. In any case I think the content itself just didn't look like it required scrolling. Instead

As an Asian, I can say with some amount of certainty that government official or company executive is viewed by the culture as 'successful'. All the parents I know want their kids to end up in a few industries: medicine, finance (

I would very much be interested in the source describing this media-politics marriage dynamic that you mention. >> Not surprising, there is no free speech in France. I don't see this as a free speech thing. I could argue there&#x

Agreed. I will be interested to know what the lessons learned were and perhaps regulation will be the answer specifically for government projects, ie. civil projects similar to aircraft/military software development. Edit: grammar

Call me a cynic -- here is a well known, renowned software development methodology expert who makes money on giving talks, books, etc. He argues that regulation of the software industry is a solution. Specifically: "I'd be thinkin

Another big reason for piloted planes is, seriously now, who here would get on a plane knowing that it was being flown without a pilot. If it's hard for most of us from varying technological backgrounds to say yes than it's going
