I play one of these silly online games. The draw is simple: my friends play it and it only takes a few minutes a day to move forward. I'm close to ditching it though because they've changed the game to be completely unable to progress wit

But if everyone in the world considered issues rationally, then everyone would be smarter, no?

It is, but if both remain silent they get a smaller penalty than if both rat on each other.

This is ridiculous. Once the children are off school property they no longer have a teacher/child relationship. The teacher is a citizen at that point and should have the same recourse as a citizen (e.g. alert the police if a fight is goi

After you've already tried all the other channels? Then you're no longer an anonymous whistle blower.

No, you can have things you want to hide and that's fine. Unless you're a powerful government trying to hide your own illegal (or should-be-illegal) activities.

None of this has anything to do with Wikileaks. They are exposing things that are obvious cases of corruption. How are we helping the largely imaginary terrorists if we expose a CIA murder cover up?

Which is just one more way that the US school system is an insane caricature of real life.

So as soon as the US classifies something it is no longer valid, in your view, for anyone to show it? I guess they can do whatever they like then! Just classify everything that would otherwise be illegal.

>Would you publish nuclear launch codes? Afaik, wikileaks has never been about publishing launch codes. It's about revealing cover ups and there should be no government cover ups. If they are trying to hide something they've done then

If you want to be a really incredible programmer you need to spend time programming, but that isn't remotely required to be successful, even in programming. For example, I wouldn't consider any of the creators of the top 3 scripting langua

Except that prison is almost exclusively bad and marriage doesn't have to be. For example, someone did a study a while back to prove that married men were happier then unmarried men because marriage made them happier. They didn't end up p

It's pretty cultural. The contract is a two way street. Most people don't do what you describe because they wouldn't want the company doing it to them. People probably also worry about burning bridges. Since it's a legal contract violati

They knew Star wars was Scifi. What would the effect be if they joined to be part of something cool to find out it was nonsense?

On this site, downvote doesn't mean "disagree", it means you violated some etiquette.

I don't know how much you owed, but was it worth it to pay the loans off so fast? It seems there must have been something more valuable a large sum of money could have done for you. EDIT: I mean this as an honest question, not proving a po

Wow. Where I am, the notice is 2-3 months and contractual so there is no negotiating it. Personally, I would tell the person "Go ahead and go now, and we'll just continue to pay your salary to the end of the contract". If the person is re

Good advice. I just had to do this recently and morale is pretty low where I'm at. Everyone was saying "so did you complain about <random issue from a laundry list>?". All were shocked when I said "no, I had nothing but good abou

I would agree and I wish the world was like that. All I can say is: don't ever go near a "right to work" state.

I haven't found it so bad and I'm not great at networking. I just use consulting agencies, that's the only way I've ever had any luck. It's easier to get into a company via someone who knows people there, than just some resume in an ema

Ok, so if she comes to work for you she's in good shape. In the real world, however, when a jackal sees a gazelle it doesn't care if it has "pouty eyes" or not. Meat is meat, the easier to catch the better.

You've never worked for an American company that tried to tell you what you could/couldn't do outside of work? Either you've had good luck or I've had bad because every place I worked for tried to impose their rules beyond the office parki

What you're talking about isn't a racial thing, it's an economic status thing and I've heard of it in many different countries throughout the world. People who can't afford both a nice house and a nice car, will often get as nice of a ca

The issue with at least the #lisp community is that they are nice so long as you go along with their ideas. As soon as you suggest anything might be done better some other way, out come the thorns.

I disagree. Touch screen has been "in the wild" for quite some time in various forms. Pre-iPhone the most used one was the stylus approach. And it was awful. All the different things that come together in the iPhone made people see this
