As someone who has mostly unsuccessfully looked for junior positions... I see some, but not many, junior positions on job sites like 37signals' or Stack Overflow's, or Monster, or Dice... A lot of the 'junior' positions want things that don

You're mincing words to tell us about Japanese. Your examples seem to indicate that Japanese more naturally conveys social situations and basic descriptions at the same time, making it more effective, not less. Russian has no future first

This is simply a problem with definitions, though. Whether mistake or habit, or language, dialect, or idiolect, what matters is the part that comes after. People still study the Akkadian language, despite its lack of speakers.

You're hasty applying the troll label, and slow to support any of your arguments. As I mentioned above, "It's not given that this is better for newspapers than open search engine access, nor that this preserves the production of "beneficial

Your argument seems poorly aimed, as I merely pointed out how poorly aimed the original comment was. I'll treat you as a top level post as a courtesy. As you rightly acknowledge, "able" can hide a lot. I'm able to live several days without

This sounds more like sour grapes and less like analysis. The article doesn't even mention the FAFSA, but it does say that at UCB, "as tuitions have risen this past year, those from the poorest families saw their financial aid packages rise

You in no way respond to the point in the article, which is that price discrimination (as enabled by high tuitions and generous financial aid) allows you to extract more money from those able to pay more money (allowing generous financial a

The piece claims to be originally from 2000: "This is a reproduction of a manifesto drafted anonymously in the year 2000." It's also somehow not surprising that a business founded on the principle of making games in a not business-like fash

I'm sure most of the people here feel the same way. It just seemed like an audience mismatch, and if you acknowledged it (either the joke nature or the audience mismatch), I wouldn't have felt the need to "Whoosh" you.

I don't think you've defended your position as well as you think you have, and you didn't need to stoop to the "liberal Godwin". He implies a pretty basic definition of evil- that which hurts everyone else. It's not given that this is bette

Unfortunately for you, not only are people notoriously (in linguistically savvy circles) bad at properly making and recognizing all of the vowel distinctions, you're also just wrong- affect and effect share a valid schwa initial pronunciati

You could set up a karma threshold to vote, or perhaps allot an increasing number of votes per day based on karma. It doesn't depart greatly from the present karma thresholds and would limit the drowning of commenter votes by reader votes.

To add to what has been said, the article notes that the Europeans responded well to infectious diseases- they quarantined and evacuated. This limited the spread and the overall lethality of any diseases on the Europeans.

Twitter has allowed for a focused elucidation of a tiny concept. It bridges the gap between the line-by-line nitpick of an article and the 'so-short-it'd-be-flippant-elsewhere' single line nitpick. It helps that this is a small twitterstorm
