I think the classic was the Windows Add New Font dialog in Vista. That was a freaking zombie from 1991.
Goto is bad because of the bad code it enables - even though fundamentally, assembler is all about goto (jmp, etc). A useful technique that enables code to be hacked to death and made unmaintainable deserves to lie in its shallow grave.
So many good ideas run afowl of orders of magnitude.
Well, at least you've got lots of chickens.
AC was replying to the implication that crowdsourcing is analogous to slavery, or that this involves child labor, without any evidence or data to substantiate the claim. AC's point was that these guys are getting paid for a job they signed up for - Blair1q seemed to imply this was not the case.

Interestingly, there's quite a lot in the UN Declaration of Human Rights but food only comes under Article 25, talking about maintaining an adequate standard of living. None the less, it's still in there.
You would have to assume the kind of workers being hired for this work have literacy and numeracy skills that mark them out as being above the physical-labor-sweatshop conditions that you're referring to there. The most likely employees for this work are middle-class mothers with some education background - at least high school - and with some free time while raising the kids.

2. That they don't agree to the salary.
Can't wait to see the orange-stained pools afterwards. Something tells me they'll look positively radioactive.
A sufficiently "virtualised" data centre could potentially be distributed around the country/world, negating any local effects, naturally for any clients willing to pay a disaster premium.
*again*? I think he's been rolling steadily faster since the mid-nineties.
Sarcasm aside, I would never consider running a VPN sever or a proxy of any kind unless I had a log retention policy of 30 seconds, and/or all personally identifying information was scrubbed from all logfiles prior to their being written to disk.
Why log at all?
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
