But for the most part those people who buy Armani suites don't go around telling everyone that they should ware one too. Or bitch and complain when they go to a place where it would be inconvenient to wear an Armani suite.

The natural food (vegetarians/vegans) freaks, are just as bad as any religious zealot. They think that their way is the only way for all people, and work hard to convert them. Not realizing, caring or dismissing evidence that there isn't any major benefit, or the fact that some bodies and lifestyles such a diet doesn't work unless there is the same degree of zealotry towards your diet.

Places like whole food while expensive is still cheap enough that we will have to deal with these people on a daily basis.

The idea that somehow things were actually better off in the past as they were now, so what has changed in the world sense the past, and what new methods should we avoid. Just like how everything your Grandmother made is superior to what you can make. Or the idea of a secret Native American cure...
Some of this is from most of our cultural experience. Europe fell into the dark ages shortly after the fall of the Roman empire. After we got out it, we got back to reading the ancient texts of the past and found great knowledge in them. As well many of the religious texts that made it seem like the people in the past had a more direct relation with the supernatural.
However for the most part we know more then what we did in the past, while it is wise to not ignore the past and we should study it for some forgotten knowledge, it should be reevaluated scientifically to see if it does or doesn't work. A lot of the material from the past has things that work, but their explanation on why it works is way off, because their explanation is off, it means using it for untested things can be dangerous.

It is about stopping switching.
Many of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 PC are getting close to their end of life.
For many a refresh of the OS will bring new life to these systems. Also prevent switching to Linux. As well getting a new system (say a tablet)

While we get more and better hybrid ultrabooks out.

As like most ancient religions, they need to keep up with the times. The Catholic Church has been pro-science for a while now. As well it supported environmentalism for a long time. What the pope did was make this issue more important then the others.

We want the ability to stay anonymous, however if someone else abuses such rights, we want them to be punished. So to punish them there needs a way to de-anonymize the person. But having such a system in place could mean tracking down people for more legitimate use of anonymity, such as whistle blowing or just stating an unpopular political belief, or just state a statement that inconvenience someone in power. But there are cases where such anonymous behavior where they cross the line, and goes beyond any reasonable level of free speech.

Then there is the amount of regulation that we need to place onto the ISP. Back in the old days during dial-up. setting up an ISP was easy and affordable. today it requires owning a good part of the infrastructure and increasing regulations, making it harder for new ISP to come up. If the government starts weight on ISP to try to stop behavior of their customers is like asking paper manufacturers to find who is the customer of the paper that posted such information.

Now not to sound like a bat crazy right winger. Europe does tend to go a bit to far in being pro-worker, and anti-corporation. To a point where there is so much stuff that running a business is harder to do in that area. When companies expend they like to try to go to Europe, however they find the rules to be prohibitive, and prevents actually getting to the goals.
Now I am not say we should let the Corporations do what they want as that will only create more business, because that is false. There is a balance that is needed, where employee are treated and compensated fairly for their work and are able to thrive in their area of living, however the company needs the freedoms to take risks and run their business and trying different ways to run it.

This is shown by the weaker EU members during the last recession, they had too much entitlements that cost more then what would cover when things are not working well. The larger EU members were big enough to handle such entitlements but the smaller members cannot. The US during the same crisis got hit but recovered faster because of a more conservative approach towards entitlements. Granted the US is the biggest economy, however if implements EU style entitlements you will find many States will have massive economic problems. Much like how the EU nations had problems. Richer states, NY, California, Texas, Illinois may be able to weather the down times, but Vermont, or Kansas?

Granted most of my Education was during the 1990's where Microsoft was King, and using anything other than Microsoft was considered antiquated.
However the fix, is to teach the ideas and not the tools. How to use a Word Processor not Microsoft Word, How to program in C++ not Visual C++.
Most schools do happen to have multiple platforms available the teacher should try to have the students mix it up a bit. A Linux or Mac Guy should do some work on the PC, vice versa. Not to try to convert them to love the other system, but to show them where things are similar and where they are different.

Oh come on, you all know those engineers at Google, actually wrote that code in a HEX editor in straight machine code. It is completely open source. Just because you don't know machine code, doesn't mean Google is violating open source methodology. Say you didn't know APL and I created an APL program, and gave you the source. Am I not sharing the source with you?

FYI: Tongue in cheek.

They are other ways to prevent corrosion too. However the fact that you are plugging in these expensive cables that will not rust, into connectors integrated into more expensive equipment that will rust.

There is being overweight from being muscular built, then there is being hulking huge.
The BMI metric for ideal weight doesn't factor in people who are more built, so it is a healthy weight as the strength is more than adequate to handle the body. But yes if you bulk up, chances are you do this at the trade off of doing cardio work, also bulking up is a lot of low weight reps, so you are not as strong as someone with a more leaner strength build.

But being 25 lbs heavier in muscle then some one who is just skinny is healthier. Being 100lbs... No so much.

Also to note, the ideal figure is also of a more trimmed and muscular, for men and women. Part of proper body training for both sexes requires weight training. This adds weight, but it is a good weight.

Still that won't help if the company you are working for goes out of business.

Other things.
5) Don't burn bridges: try to avoid making enemies. A bad reputation can hurt. Rumors, can spread. That guy who you hated and never gotten along with, may be the same guy who you will need to give you a decent review.

6) Know your industry: Chances are most Technology professionals are not in the technology industry. We can be in Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail, Government, NGO, Finance... A pop in the tech bubble doesn't mean your job will pop. If you have a good foot hold in one particular industry, use that to your advantage. Sure due to the collapse you can get cheap programmers, but do they know the industry as well as you do.

7) Industry diversification: Try to have a fall back industry you can go back on. The thing about economic bubbles is they don't know the difference between a bubble and a strong growth sector until it pops. Know how to translate your skill to other industries, try to keep up with what other industries are doing.

8) Keep an eye on your companies culture. Especially in smaller organizations changes in your bosses behavior is a good sign that something is up. Normally these guys are A+ Personalities who love to talk, then you find them being quite and reserved. You find that they are pushing harder then normal, for unknown reasons. Or finding ways to save money that seems to be more nitpicking.... That may be a good sign to polish your resume and start interviewing. Even if you don't think you will be targeted, because you are the star worker. Being the last one standing after layoffs really suck.

9) Don't be in the same position and don't be a job hopper. You normally should be getting some sort of promotion (either in title or by compensation greater then normal companies salary adjustments) within every 3-6 years. Anything less then that, a company will be afraid to invest in you. Too much more Then it looks like you are happy with a dead end job. You can work at the same company for many years longer... But you will need to show growth in the career, promotions are one way. Or at least you can explain the change in your work, more then just changing technology.

10) Avoid being a hater: Keep your anti-windows or your how ethically wrong closed source to yourself, or at least professionally, even if you are working in a position where you are using Linux and making Open source tools. By hating something, you have closed your life off from a different path. Some people will negatively call it being a a sell out, But you really should keep in mind how fixed and important your beliefs are. We care for a lot of things... However we don't care about all things equally. Say your work does a lot of good, however you need to use Windows... Does the face the Operating System that you are using that you dislike is equally or greater in its badness that it counteracts all the good that your job does?

Well as a passing interest I tried to make an app to visualize drive usage in metro.
Many elements of the .net framework were not allowed as a metro app. The solution was a web service that the metro app called so I could get the details of the drive information. I couldn't use any of the .net framework for a metro app in this case I have wanted access to the file system framework.

Now non pc devices and other systems all seem to have mostly the same basic file system design. Even if it isn't directly accessible. But it wouldn't allow it to be used.

Microsoft really fails miserably at the idea of cross platform apps. They either just don't get it or they don't want to get it. .Net was suppose to be Microsoft key to cross platform future. Similar archecture to Java however to get some competive speed advantage they took out the ability to be cross platform creating an language that is slower then native code but only works on one platform, there is even issues from 32 bit and 64 bit.

The metro design is extreamly limited for developers and you can't take any advantage of hardware, you have the general controlled level of JavaScript in a browser.

Microsoft needs to realize that if you make a cross platform app, you will expect it to run on different platforms, and have access to the system a little more in depth then what the browser will access. Otherwise we will just deploy our apps via the web.

It doesn't mean Goth...
If she wanted to make Ladybug design she would use Black and a Red Background, this makes the accident plausible as she is trying to manipulate a bottle with wet nails, combined with the possibility of trying to do more detail work.

It could be used as a base so the lighter colors will stand out better.
