You had me until "military-industrial complex"

The hardest transition that most techies have to make is being bumped up into management. A good manager will absorb and deflect politics, paperwork, issues, and other items that will get in the way of a tech doing a technical job. When you first get pushed up into management, it's a surprise just how little your technical skills are valued. Even if a "technical" answer is asked by your new bosses, having a big picture view is more important than being able to click your way through aduc. A general technical knowledge is important because managers need to support the needs of those under them, but knowing how long and what it will take to create the right piece of code is more important than being able to do it. If you can get your people the time and resources they need, you are doing a far better job than if you're doing their jobs for them.

So do it

Netcraft confirms it! Flash is dead!

Despite that 90% of the earliest net memes are still perfectly playable today due to their SWF composition, it's interesting that they're (indirectly) making the statement that html5 will beat flash. I can see why, flash is a bloated, update happy, buggy, insecure beast of a program, sort of like java through the years.

They played angry birds. AT&T gives you a massive (referencing size here, not price) bill with your data traffic by day (at the second to least granular setting).

So, is slashdot moving away from the reply and focusing on highly rated OP's only, or is there a good way to expand out threads without moving to a new page?

Why not do it the old fashioned way with a quality pen (or pencil) and some good acid free paper. Write in your journal every day, you won't be e-famous, but at least your grand kids will get a peek into your life.

As a side note, in one of the night of the living dead movies, there's a newscast of a crashed satellite being linked to the civil unrest. So the unofficial zombie origins in the first few movies was a zombie satellite.

Wow, "Anonymous" isn't just some unemployed young adult. It's a whole army of unemployed young adults.

While i agree with your post at large, you shouldn't say this to anybody who has played a console newer than the ps2:

Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas for the PC beg to differ. Also, i have seen far fewer bugs in 360 releases than in their corresponding PC ports. Also, 360 patches get priority and are (in my experience) released a few days before similar bug fixes are seen on the PC. This has to do with the inherent complexity of the PC environment and simplicity of the 360 monoculture.
