Incidentally, this is the same reason that we no longer have the ability to receive from everyone on AirDrop in perpetuity anymore. Apple caved to pressure from the Chinese government to block distribution of flyers during protests by chang

And yet you left off: "The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remem

This is definitely "a thing." I've had two MacBook Pros whose batteries swelled to where it bent the case open. I try to make it a point to put my laptop through regular charge and discharge cycles, as result. As much as I lo

Beyond that, the author has completely missed that the electoral college protects us from things like the five most populous counties in America selecting our President for us and limits the effects of massive voter fraud. cough Illinois

I don't have a problem with them asking. I politely decline to tell them and move on. I have yet to have it be a stumbling block. An employer asking is a fairly standard practice, as is a potential employee not providing that informati

If you were taking a woman on a date to a place where women are objectified, I'd be open to the possibility that money isn't your only obstacle.

Preferably, we can deal with the people that accept hear-say and anecdotes to carte blanche dismiss demographics that they aren't a part of. Especially those in forums that claim to be based on an intellectual mindset. We can deal with

I'm not sure what you're encountering, but I have yet to meet anyone that teaches that Jesus rode a dinosaur and owned Exxon stock, or anything remotely resembling it. One family comes to mind, where I have to question both their

Am I missing something? This was submitted two hours ago, yet the images (CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso) are the same that I had downloaded on 6/20/2014. The release notes list the new image names, but they don't appear to b

Agreed. I had it reduced to a single tile available, yet there was no way to win. Every new tile matched one above or to the side of it.

The key takeaway from this article should be that 1980's-style resume and application bombing doesn't work, nearly as well as it used to. The market moved on and became more advanced. Using 1980's skillsets and techniques wil

At risk of going off-topic, was your migration from Perl to Python a simple factor of the projects you worked on or was there a deliberate effort to proactively switch? I learned Perl in the CGI days of the mid-90's and never even cont

I believe the actual resource being referred to is the aforementioned human capital. The article mentioned that he was a network engineer, a career path that can easily command $60K/year on the low end. Network engineers that show up
